And that was just plain nasty. HK-47 just whooped out a Blaster Rifle and point blank'd that ass. --- Pokemon Pearl Code: 2663-9266-2709 WWEGSB Hardcore Legend and Board 8er Masa/Hiko |

Let's go Lloyd! Even if he loses, his and Kratos' performances prove my point about Zelos. I'll shut up now that it's proven. But anyway, Lloyd's best time is yet to come, all he needs to do is stall. Unless Jak somehow eats his day-vote. HK-47 did worse in the day-vote than he is now, so if Lloyd can just keep stalling... --- He was stuck by lightning and became insane.don't mind him.-hiei on me. Sound advice. |

Lloyd also has a bigger potential rally on his side. As sad as it would
be to watch people rally Lloyd over HK-47, with this board, I believe
it's bracket over characters. Keep it going, HK. Keep it going. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I'm sorry, you can say what you want about Lloyd not equalling Zelos
(and that seems quite true) BUT any fanbase that lets TOM NOOK slap
them around? I don't fear that rally. --- Should I start running now? |

If Lloyd stalls his best now, I think he wins. His morning vote is actually quite good relative to the other characters. --- Currently Playing: Persona 3 |

I can see why too...KotOR nearly doubled the sales of ToS and the incomplete sequel managed to outsell ToS handily as well Not to mention both games have sold 500k+ on the PC...so its not like the fanbase is small at all --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude!

And then HK-47 takes it back while all 3 of them rough up Lloyd's
percent. Well, I've looked over some matches and I'm not convinced of
what will happen, so it'll be interesting to see tomorrow. At least
there's not an obvious Kefka bomb or KH surge sitting here. --- Should I start running now? |

hmm. looking at expected trends, I'd give Zero 41.5% at the end of this
match, maybe 42%. not bad, not good. I'd say HK and Lloyd end up in the
21% range and Jak around 18. pure guesses on those guys. --- xyzzy http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

I think I'd rather have Lloyd at the moment. looks like that opening
punch that HK landed wasn't as threatening as I thought it would be. I
only say that because HK is a complete unknown come daytime, though.
it's very possible that he beats Lloyd harder in the day than in the
night... and equally possible that he flops. no way to know there. also, Jak is doing a lot better here with the night vote. he's stalling Lloyd fairly often and isn't getting killed. he still loses, obviously, but it won't look as bad come midnight. --- xyzzy http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

Comprehensive data here. It's all data inferred from the explicit numbers we got. The first line refers to if the two winners are in the same "two pack"... for instance, Mega Man is listed 3rd and KOS-MOS is listed forth, so they go together. The reason I include this is because some bracket-makers predicted the bracket as if it was all 1-v-1 matches. Whenever the two winners are in the same group, odds are that their combined prediction percentage is hurt. I could add more detail for more examination (whether the character is 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th in the list) but that's getting a little TOO in-depth for my liking... The next two lines refer to the total prediction percentage for each winner, for getting first OR second. The next two lines are what they say: the prediction percentage for either character getting first, and likewise for second. The next line gives the total prediction percentage for the two losing characters... which can conceivably add up as high as 200% (since there's two winners). So, if the losers exceed 100% there, that match was, without a doubt, an bracket-buster. The next line I just mention if there was likely an upset involved in the match. Different Group Yoshi - 80.87% Knuckles - 59.12% Either 1st - 67.74% Either 2nd - 72.25% Total percentage for Rikku/Vaan - 60.01% Upset? No. 2nd Group Mega Man - 93.59% KOS-MOS - 30.09% Either 1st - 55.08% Either 2nd - 68.60% Total percentage for Arthas/Diablo - 76.32% Upset? Yes, Arthas and/or Diablo favored over KOS-MOS. Different Group Samus - 96.93% Frog - 42.74% Either 1st - 75.67% Either 2nd - 64.00% Total % for Axel/Kerrigan - 60.33% Upsets? Probably not. 2nd Group Scorpion - 66.71% Midna - 44.74% Either 1st - 38.81% Either 2nd - 72.64% Total % for Agent 47/Kratos Aurion - 88.55% Upset? Yes, Agent 47 or Kratos Aurion favored over Midna. 1st Group Marcus Fenix - 86.14% Kefka - 71.89% Either 1st - 86.17% Either 2nd - 41.86% Total % for Tom Nook/Zelos - 71.97% Upset? No. Different Group Cloud- 96.27% Ocelot - 55.34% Either 1st - 95.45% Either 2nd - 56.11% Total % for Jill/Zolom - 48.39% Upset? No. Different Group Auron - 82.99% Shadow - 65.06% Either 1st - 82.77% Either 2nd - 65.28% Total % for Chris/PH - 51.95% Upset? No. Different Group Ryu - 72.55% Bowser - 87.01% Either 1st - 88.28% Either 2nd - 71.28% Total % for mewtwo/Toad - 40.44% Upset? No. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun!
