Twilight Princess is at rougly 3.61 million worldwide on Wii alone.
With GCN it beats Gears. The Wii TP number is from IGN who are far more
trustworthy than VGChartz. --- Demyx is better than Axel. I don't like Haley Scarnato |

Mega Man 43.16% / 11.92% KOS-MOS 18.17% / 50.43% I knew it, I knew the people who didn't read the rules about the scoring system would have KOS-MOS in first since she was listed ahead of Mega man. Reading is fundamental! :P |

| Actually, more than picking KOS-MOS first, I'm
more surprised by the fact that only 55% people picked MM to move on at
all. Why does he always get such horrible bracket support? --- doo doo doo I got no sig |

Those stats are so weird! How did 50% of the voters predict KOS-MOS to
win if only ~10%* are the people who didn't read the rules? *Number determined by Mega's partial percentage. --- Twisted Misters: 2007 World Series of Pop Culture Champions!!! |

Even if they can't read the rules regarding placement, KOS-MOS was still picked by more bracketmakers to advance than Mega Man. That's inexcusable! --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

I'm really thinking that the
correct/partial percentages are based on the placement, not the
character. ~93% picking Mega Man, and ~30% picking KOS-MOS to advance
makes a LOT more sense than the alternative. --- www.rpgdl.com Pokemon D/P Friend Code: 3007-4553-9795 |

I think people not reading the rules and being confused is totally
understandable, that's what happened to me. I didn't realize that it
was 4-way or that we had to pick both 1 and 2 until I read the board; I
filled the bracket out like normal the first time, though I was
confused. I thought maybe the new bracket script was just weird. So many people getting screwed over by the rules is not surprising, this was talked about beforehand. You pretty much had to read the board to know what was going on (even most people - not everyone, but most - on the board probably didn't read the actual rules, just found out through others talking about it). Mega Man's partial % is wrong though. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Remember, if Frog's initial vote here is anything like it was against Riku... well, he's not out of this by a longshot. this. though if this is a delayed day vote, we might actually see him rise some. I think he'll be okay, but... Frog or KOS-MOS? Frog might not break 20% on far weaker competition. --- http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/258/cloudvsjillvsocloectvsmfw4.jpg now playing: PW3, Jeanne d'Arc |

I think these stats aren't presented exactly the way we think. Those could be by place instead of by character e.g. 43.16% had Mega Man first / 11.92% had KOS-MOS first 18.17% had KOS-MOS second / 50.43% had Mega Man second --- FFXII NLB - finished - 39 marks FFXII LLIENANMiNDM - Bhujerba (post-Ba'Gamnan) |

God damn, a lot of brackets are just going to die because nobody
bothered to read the rules. This actually works out for me, I read the
rules and I will at least go over a lot of no-read-the-rules brackets. Kerrigan finally gets her Brood War box art picture that so many users have been asking for to determine her true strength.

I'm pretty sure its read as.. 43.16% had Mega Man first / 11.92% had Mega Man second 18.17% had KOS-MOS first / 50.43% had KOS-MOS second Makes more sense. --- Feel my truth. |

Not really. My friend who never visits the board figured everything
out on his own, or read the rules if he got confused. It really wasn't
that hard. Oh come on. Obviously it wasn't hard or anything - but it was certainly only semi-likely that someone would think about it. They'd probably make as assumption about how it worked and not bother to think twice about it. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

hmm, Samus and MM are near-identical so far. I wonder if we're going to
have a hard time breaking ~55%? I question Link getting a huge

For my Oracle I need Samus to shave about 2% off of everyone else, and a further 2% off of Frog.

I would personally place Frog and Axel safely above KOS-MOS and
Diablo... it's Kerrigan that makes things wonky, as she *really*
doesn't warrant much of the vote. But considering the hardcore nature
of SC and her iconic, she had a definite floor in this format. --- delicious cats Commit it to memory. |

Frog should be safe against Axel here, but I do hope he can stay above 20%. That's not guaranteed.

| For reference, Samus increased 3.5% after the 20 minute update in her match with Frog. I think that was before the Nintendo Power Hour though. |
