I still fail to see how this current percentage on GF is impressive...

Can't think of a good sig.

I think a constant GF is a good way to judge this match. let's assume Sora gets... 64%. that would put Sora at Luigi's level from 2k5.

Sora or Luigi, who you got?

If Sora = 2k5 Vincent and giving Freeman 37%... Wrighto is at 20.17% on 2k5 Link and 22.01% on Blink.

I figured PW v Gordon would've convinced you people that Gordon's 2005 value is a load of crap and that he's just not extrapolatable.

If Sora's equal to 2k5 Luigi then he's lower than Riku right now assuming Dante's constant.

oh, it's going to happen. Phoenix Wright will be the fodder line.


ha-ha!

I think this is proof that Freeman is just not very linear. I think Lopen first suggested this idea - the stronger Freeman's opponents are, the better he looks. he's like a mini-Master Chief, only without the antivotes. (who the heck hates Gordon Freeman?) Freeman has always looked weak as hell because he always gets really weak opponents. now that he's been up against two quality opponents, you can see that he actually does fairly well against them. give him some high fodder though and Freeman goes back to struggling. no way in hell do I take Phoenix > Terra or Phoenix > Vyse.

Alucard 2k5 is measured through Snake/Sora, so Alucard would still smash PW.

You've got to be ****ing kidding me. Was I the LAST person to fill out my bracket or something? I just can't catch a break and make the Top 50 here, it seems.

If Kirby > Luigi and I don't get on the board, I'm gonna be uber-pissed.

Harma Kunter, did you make last-minute changes? I think that's what it goes by. (Then again, you probably know this already!)

I know I was changing my thing very frequently, but I could have sworn I finalized it a few days before lockdown.

Then again, I could have ended up making some last minute crazy change. I haven't looked at my bracket aside from the score since the contest started, too scared. <_<

I've been content with my bracket so far, for the most part. I've only missed matches that I felt would be 55-45 or closer, and two of the three I've missed have been 51-49 and tighter. I can't catch all the breaks, but I've still done well enough thus far.

oh, Sora is just fine. he's still a mile ahead of where Leon Kennedy was and Leon got 35% on Mega Man.

My bracket died as soon as Snake beat Squall.

It's a moral victory if Freeman gets Sora under 60% before the night vote is over (fat chance of that).

Gordon Freeman (2005c) VS Mega Man (2005c)

Gordon Freeman has a strength of 22.78.
Mega Man has a strength of 38.79.

Mega Man wins with 70.64% of the vote!
A win of 35,881 with 86,934 total votes cast.

(LOL)

I don't know why this is so LOL-worthy. GF seems pretty constant to me.

agreed, but he doesn't get antivoted like Chief does. I would think he'd perform about the same vs. Sora and Leon.

This is Gordon Freeman's year. He wins his first match, gets to humiliate a post-KH2 Sora and will end up looking very good in the stats.

Unless Mega Man gets another terrible picture, Sora will underperform in his next match, making Gordon look not quite as good as he could have. I've seen quite a few predictions of Sora actually hitting the mid-40s, and I'm sitting here wondering how (or why) people are honestly thinking this stuff up.

40% of people will vote for Gordon regardless of who he's against. Put him against Link, and suddenly he looks like he's stronger than Mario.

Look at what Riku has done. It's logical to assume Sora got a hefty boost from his old value.

All day yesterday, I was sure that I had made a good call, picking Yoshi over Dante. Thought it was pretty clever on my part.

Until I saw that my bracket says Dante. How did that happen? -_-

Hey, SHINE thought she had Vincent the whole time until she realized she picked Ganondorf... it happens.

I never even considered a Yoshi victory tbh... but I didn't consider a Luigi victory either. >.<
