I'm not sure if anybody remembers this, but I just thought of it..... Which male character do you think will win the battle? Crono 25.67% 25254 Solid Snake 33.4% 32856 Sonic the Hedgehog 11.94% 11749 Sora 15.13% 14890 One of the lower seeds 13.86% 13636 TOTAL VOTES 98385 Yes, TECHNICALLY it's possible, but I think this is enough to call into question just how accurate these types of polls really are. They probably have the ordering right, but I don't foresee the percentages being exactly reliable except for maybe "One of the lower seeds" because usually only people who know the bracket will vote for that one...and even then, hey, I bet there was still more than that. --- Diddy did it.

but I think this is enough to call into question just how accurate these types of polls really are. Uhh...We didn't have enough against it before? Either way, it's a poll asking who you THINK will win. Based on Sonic's prediction percentage, it's looking halfway accurate in that regard. --- Solid Snake's Road to the Character Battle V Championship Elite Eight: Sonic the Hedgehog |

Favorites polls, yeah, but I don't remember anything about
bracket-percentages -- as far as I knew, we all just took it for
granted. --- Diddy did it. Diddy did it. DAMMIT! What didn't Diddy do?! |

I don't know what Sonic has done to make so many people have no faith
in him (it's not like Snake has been any more impressive), but
hopefully he'll have washed away that stigma by the end of this contest. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Well, Sonic has generally been the LEAST impressive Noble Niner against
the rest of the field (Yes, probably even moreso than Snake in the
grand scheme of things). He blew two big chances to win a big match in
the past, and the doubling against Cloud was just bad. Either way, the biggest successful comeback in contest history should go a long way to redeeming his image. --- Solid Snake's Road to the Character Battle V Championship Elite Eight: Sonic the Hedgehog |

If you want to put it that way, Knuckles didn't make the contest this year... Marle and Amy Rose both made it, I guess...which of them was stronger, again? --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Sure, but Magus had a 3 seed last year and there was a reasonable
amount of shock around the board when he didn't make it. Knux was a 6th
seed so he wasn't expected to receive too many noms. --- Board 8's Voice of Reason Since 2003 © Oklahoma Sooners 7-2 - Next Victim: Texas Tech |

It wasn't *too* shocking. Magus fell out of favor with the board once
he was exposed. Ocelot was a 2 seed last year and he didn't make it
this year because of his bombing, and Snake's looked better than ever. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

In other words, if Magus had proved himself and won the Devil Division
like he was supposed to last year, no way in hell would he have missed
this year. If he had, then you could say it was 'foreboding'. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |
