So maybe Rikku's performance in 2k5 was legit, and the anomaly lies solely in Ryu/Bowser.

Excellent news for Ryu > Bowser brackets.

Why wouldn't Rikku's performance in 2K5 be legit? Never understood that one.

People were always saying that Rikku's performance on Ryu was due to Ryu having a bad year.

Although that was kind of disproved following Ryu's and Rikku's 2k6 performances.

Still very basic at the moment, and there's still some ftp issues I need to work out, but it's working (somewhat).

He caught the overrated bust disease when he beat Magus.

His win against Magus was definitely more of Magus decreasing than him increasing alright.

His performance against Squall was a fluke because he did so good against Magus >_> yeah, I'll go with that.

Could someone explain this in the Contest Stats page?

Correct Picks by Battle
Battle Battlers Winner % Correct

Don't tell me "Battle" is the battle #, and "Battlers" names the four competitors... that's probably how it'll end up. I want more stats! I really hope the % Correct deals with the bracket accuracy for 1st > 2nd place, not just 1st place.

On another note, we should be able to pick out more statistics than is visibly given... I think we'd be able to find what percentage of the brackets got 4 points, 2 points, 1 points, and 0 points, as long as we see how the scores of everyone changes from day-to-day.

Because Knuckles is ridiculously more popular than Rikku on the boards?

Especially with bracket votes and what not.

Sonic always takes off with the day vote it will be interesting to see how much Sonic's day vote pays off with Nintendo in the same poll. Rikku really is just performing as she should I just think more people expected 12 to have some sort of an effect as opposed to the no effect its having lol.

YoAriel33 | Posted 9/2/2007 10:34:25 PM | message detail
Yeah, very bad. Knuckles has to completely steal the day vote from Yoshi to make it look like a respectable pick again. Either that, or Mega Man will have to decimate Yoshi again and leave Knuckles completely untouched. The chances of the latter are slim to none, and slim just took off to wangsturbate at Rikku pics.
