I'm sure a great minority of the entries have Cloud > Marcus in the
next round. Even though I have Cloud > Jill, I don't feel too bad
about it 'cause there's likely a ton of people who have that or
something other than Marcus in 2nd. Plus I have certain big upsets coming anyway, so those points from Jill won't be too bad >_> --- [=[_] =] Nintendo DS~See double while sober! [+[_]·:·] Wii FC: 7696 5759 3867 0483 |

Well, Carlos too, but no one cares about Carlos. <_< Hey! I do...I even nominated him for this contest knowing there's no way he's getting in.

This may have been discussed already, but I just looked at the stats and saw - 52.84% / 2.45% for Revolver Ocelot, he's second only to Samus and Cloud for people predicting the correct position (Samus was around 56 and Cloud at a shocking 93). How do so many people know he was going to get second? It certainly didn't seem that obvious to me. I'm not say it was necessarily a hard pick, I'm just curious how apparently that round was so much easier to predict than the others where the correctness level is only in the 20% range. --- Official 4th place winner of Summer Contest 2k4 |

KrahenProphet. What does your user name originate from? Is it a book? --- Eff Dee |

Pretty simple. Silent Hill is more Cult than Resident Evil and with so
few characters to rally behind, SH fans love their Pyramid Head to
death. Chris isn't a tank or anything, but 1vs1, he slaughters PH. This
is a 4 person ffa. I voted for Shadow because even though I don't carea
bout him, I want to have my bracket not suck. 1vs1, Chris gets the
bracket vote from many people and just the vote in general. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site. We're not going to strip out the soul of the site. -CJayC |

To KrahenProphet: It is simple to explain why Ocelot has a high correct percentage for the second place. Just look at his position in the bracket. He is in the bottom half of this four-pack and apparently more than 30% of entries thought that there would be two separate polls for each four-pack. So this match is going to be like Cloud v Jill AND Midgar Zolom v Ocelot. It is obvious that Cloud will win the top half and Ocelot will win the second half, thus the higher than expected correct percentage for Cloud and Ocelot. On the other hand, Mega Man and Samus are in the bottom half of their four-pack, resulting in lower correct prediction and higher partial correct from these ~30% brackets whose users can't be bothered to read the rules. --- Xcarvengerx (scar-fan-gear-rex) /n/ = A plethora of quixotic illumination.

Nah, I don't think it's a book. Back when Warcraft III was released I
was thinking of a screen name to make in game, and I like making kind
of obscure screen names. So I based it off of the character Medivh who
was a prophet that could turn into a crow (druid of the talon in game I
think) so I was going to make it CrowProphet, but I decided to
translate crow into a different language. The translation service I used on the internet must have been sucked (or maybe it was me) because it ended up giving me Krähen for crow when it's really Krähe (according to babel fish right now I don't actually know this stuff). Apparently Krähen means "crows". This is the last website I use this screen name on. The only two names I use now for creating accounts are MidgarZolom or Abyssion (tales of symphonia). --- Official 4th place winner of Summer Contest 2k4 |

Xcarvengerx, Ah, I actually thought that might have been the case, but I realized it a little after posting, and I never actually felt like going back to check to see if Midgar Zolom was against Ocelot because I had forgotten. Yeah, but it makes perfect sense though. So a better question would be, why did Midgar Zolom get so few votes! He is clearly superior to Ocelot. I bet snakes eat ocelots anyways. --- Official 4th place winner of Summer Contest 2k4 |

I was surprised so many here took Jill so easily. Ocelot might have
lost to Pacman, but he's still well liked in the MGS fanbase. And RE
hasn't really shown that much strength in these things... --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl. Everyone's got one and nobody thinks their's stink." -Lunar 2:EB *Claims KG's Eclair, C.C. & Tear Grants* |
