Where did this thought process come from? Judging from his contest
appearance and just what I'd expect, Vergil's a low midcarder. Arthas
is surprising me, but give me Vergil to outdo Arthas's performance
pretty easily here. Vergil is hardly respectable. The only way Vergil might do better here is because there's no one for him to worry about SFF-wise. Take Diablo out of the equation, and Arthas would rock Vergil. Got no doubts on that. --- Experiment status report update: Metroid project 'Dread' is nearing the final stages of completion. |

Arthas is doing a whole lot better than I expected. Maybe he's significantly stronger than Kerrigan, after all. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

I'm still completely unsure about Vergil/Thrall, though this match at
least keeps Thrall in contention still. If Arthas completely bombed I
would have felt a lot better about my Vergil pick, as it is now, I'm
still completely confused. --- Explicit Content. I wish Lei Fang were my mom. I'd like drug her and feel her up and stuff. - Ken |

enough to overcome someone as weak as Vergil. Where did this thought process come from? Judging from his contest appearance and just what I'd expect, Vergil's a low midcarder. Arthas is surprising me, but give me Vergil to outdo Arthas's performance pretty easily here. We don't know how much Diablo is affecting Arthas though, if at all. Just playing Devil's Advocate here. I've got Thrall, but I could see it going either way. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? SC2k6 (190/240) 99.4958 Percentile |

Total number of brackets is low, isn't it? The ratio of total brackets
to total votes is even lower than other contests, so bracket votes
should be less of a factor overall. --- Hello world |

So, over 50% had Knuckles winning? It must be a combination of people
not paying attention to the "order matters" criteria and people
misinterpreting him for the top seed. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I never really understood the comparison. Kerrigan is only important if
you pay attention to StarCraft's story (outside of a few missions where
she's playable). Arthas is prominent AND hyped in the WCverse, and he
is THE playable main character for half of WC3. And hero units are a
*lot* more important in WC3 than they are in SC... --- delicious cats Commit it to memory. |

Eh, I think you're seriously underrating Vergil here. If Vergil was in
this 4 pack instead of Arthas I'd be struggling with it at least a
little. 65% on Ghaleon is probably somewhat comparable to Bison's 65%
on Albedo, and Bison gives Diablo a close match. Heck, even any of
KOS-MOS's victories. Now there was the issue of Vergil getting the crap kicked out of him against Seph. I blame the picture for that. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

I thought the voting was 50.91% of the people picked knuckles, and
21.34% got him in the right spot. Although it could be 50.91% got
partial points (1) and 21.34% got both points? Im confused. --- Come visit my board, Hektik, In the C-64 today! Not changing this until Casey Mears wins his 2nd Nascar Cup race. Started 7/7/07 |

KOS-MOS is the board's favorite character. If we had a poll here, I
don't doubt that she would win, though bracket-voting helps, too, in
this case. ___ *watches* o_o |

Arthas and Mega Man. There's no way he can make up a 3% difference when
he and KOS-MOS are barely playing with 35% to begin with. KOS-MOS just
has to hold this until daybreak. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Wait, thinking Diablo is done for... excuse me? Why in the world would
this not be KOS's best time-frame, and by a wide margin? And why in the
world would the Blizzard vote not own the day over a semi-cult RPG
character, and given how pathetic people have made MM look once the sun
comes up? Anyways, Guru Numbers (with 95 brackets reporting so far) Diablo - 51 (53.68%) KOS-MOS - 42 Arthas - 2 --- thengamer.com/xstats = lol x-stats Still smarting from the beatdown Rufus applied in the Guru Contest! |

From bloodhawks return Posted 9/4/2007 12:23:31 AM #274 I thought the voting was 50.91% of the people picked knuckles, and 21.34% got him in the right spot. Although it could be 50.91% got partial points (1) and 21.34% got both points? Im confused. First number is people that picked the character in the right spot. Second number is the number of people that picked that character to advance, but have him in the wrong spot. ~*ST*~ --- Petition for a system notification when a contribution is removed: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=37308859 |

This is how the prediction percentage works, correct? 29.96% had Yoshi in first, and 37.78% for second. 21.34% had Knuckles in second, and 50.91% had Knuckles in first. WHAT THE....?!

...alright, looks like this one is still far from over. I got too
confident with those 40+ vote updates. Diablo can certainly make a
comeback once the day hits, considering that the day vote is always
much longer than the night, KOS has to build a really nice sized lead
for me to feel comfy about this one. --- Explicit Content. I wish Lei Fang were my mom. I'd like drug her and feel her up and stuff. - Ken |
