So, this is the second of the picks that I should have got correct if I had any common sense at all. The first being Ryu > Bowser.

Nooooo. Vivi had a nice lead... then I checked back a minute later and Vivi's being dominated. :[ Also, apparently Crash >>>>>>>>> Spyro (though it's early)

the board loves their Smash. let's see if this holds.

if memory serves, Ridley was leading Diablo for the first few minutes too.

Round 1- Division 5 Group D

Characters Involved:

Leon Kennedy


Summer 2005 Contest
20XX Division - 5 Seed

20XX Round 1 --- Defeated (4) Gordon Freeman, 54875 [58.57%] - 38810 [41.43%]
20XX Semifinal --- Lost to (1) Mega Man, 33154 [35.44%] - 60391 [64.56%]
Extrapolated Strength --- 28th Place [25.20%]

Summer 2006 Contest
Time Division - 5 Seed

Time Round 1 --- Lost to (4) Bowser, 53772 [44.55%] - 66925 [55.45%]
Extrapolated Strength --- 24th Place [31.52%]


Leon's a pretty high midcarder and is a lock to advance here, and a favourite to take first.

Ridley

Spring 2005 Contest
Ruin Division - 2 Seed

Ruin Round 1 --- Lost to (7) Diablo, 31438 [42.35%] - 42796 [57.65%]
Extrapolated Strength --- 10th Place [24.66%]


Getting embarassed in the Villain Contest was apparantly not enough for Ridley. He hopes to top it off with an epic battle for third with Spyro

Spyro the Dragon

Summer 2002 Contest
North Division - 8 Seed

Northern Round 1 --- Lost to (9) Morrigan Aensland, 18186 [31.71%] - 39173 [68.29%]
Extrapolated Strength --- 37th Place [15.77%]


Fodder that hasn't been seen since 2002. Makes me wonder how he made it in over characters like Protoman

Vivi

Summer 2004 Contest
Midgar Division - 7 Seed

Midgar Round 1 --- Defeated (10) Donkey Kong, 48443 [56.47%] - 37338 [43.53%]
Midgar Quarterfinal --- Lost to (2) Sephiroth, 25904 [29.75%] - 61170 [70.25%]
Extrapolated Strength --- 25th Place [25.22%]


Summer 2005 Contest
Gear Division - 4 Seed

Gear Round 1 --- Lost to (5) Zelda, 42324 [40.44%] - 62347 [59.56%]
Extrapolated Strength --- 29th Place [24.98%]


Vivi is a solid midcarder, and the one and only thing from FF9 that has any strength here.

Predictions:

Leon > Vivi seems the most likely outcome here. Leon just seems a step above Vivi, and has had reason to increase with the Wiimake of RE4. Ada's performance also inspires confidence that he'll pull it off today.

TuRtLe's Prediction: Leon 37%, Vivi 33%, Ridley 20%, Spyro 10%
TuRtLe's Bracket: Leon > Vivi
TuRtLe's Vote: Vivi

TuRtLe

65/88 in the contest. Next pick: Meg Ryan > The yellow rat

Gah. Leon's got a 74 vote lead on Vivi right now. Gotta get that down!


And I have a feeling Ridley's going to finish a fair bit below 20% when this is all over.

Bah. The first match in like a week to go exactly as expected* and it's the one I (sort of) argued about the results for (kind of).

Oh well. Vivi deserves it, I guess. Even if I'd rather have seen consecutive upset #3.

* Amaterasu advancing = somewhat unexpected. (I hate having to put disclaimers on all of my comments here.)

I don't even think it's a question that Vivi will suck more of the Square vote away from Tidus than vice versa. Suppose some might disagree, but I don't look at that as "FF10 vs. FF9" at all.

Seconded, muchly. Hope he gets better bracket placement next time.

Of course, the real crime is...as a first round loser, Mewtwo might not make it back in at all.

9 people fell off the Top 50 today. Buzzoro, Renseim, Ricemaster21, HopefulDeath, alphawindow, Chickenshack, alpha_door, KenoLovesEclair and thisistemporary did not have Pikachu over Tidus as yesterday's winners.

32 people managed to stay on the Top 50 even though they only collected 2 points. The_Dealer_7, Omniscience, ForcefulKnight, KirbyKhan, TheS3hasYou, Pats_Dynasty, TexasAggie, E_Gadd, LegendaryGeno, warrant6767, Starwind40k, Jet_Golfer, frozenflame264, The_Lady_Ashe, bokoboko42, IAmAnAlt, BeautyQueenEtna, HunterKiller47, TheColderWar, MarioSuperstar, Leonhart44, ooBlack_Roseoo, Lovethemchicks, BBB99, Crono801, Tsaturo, Silent_Alarm, Naye745, SirBinro, Luigifan98, Nemo_Incognito and KohlrabiGod also did not have Pikachu over Tidus as yesterday's winners.

5 people managed to stay on the Top 50 after collecting just a single point. hochiminh155, LeonhartFour, Esperwolf, LessThan3Presea and greyfox102 were only vagely close to having Pikachu over Tidus yesterday.

Congrats to dragoncrazer, Isilwenightfall, user345 and cake_weed_nippl. They were the only 4 on the Top 50 to get the full 4 points for the match.
