Hochi the Divine, what are your thoughts on this match


Simple. The rodent wins because Tidus and Vivi are splitting the votes of an enormous pie (The Final Fantasy pie.) Pikachu gets the kiddy pie (Which is about 25%) while Leon gets the rest of the main pie

Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package.

Stop stealing my pie analogy damn it >_<

And you have no right to lecture on this match hochi darling. Remember Isaac advancing over Pikachu being a "lock"?

People only rub in each other's faces because nobody congratulates others for their good predictions. :( Hey, let's start doing that for everyone, okay? =D (but only to those who don't rub it on everyone)

Pretty much.

Like I asked, are you going to unmask yourself at the end?

I've had plenty of screwups that you guys could make fun of. For example, I had Ganondorf beating Samus in 2k5 (VC was my first bracket and I didn't really start following stats until midway through SC2k5).

Then again I also had Pac > Ocelot, CJ > Ness and Knux > Magus.

You know, pretty much everybody told me the Duke over Gordon Freeman was madness.

When it happened... did I take the opportunity to rub it in the face of the stats topic? Not really. I just cheered the Duke and went on with my life. (And maybe accused Ike of cheating but hey he totally was!) There is such a thing as being a gracious winner.

... and I wouldn't entirely kick Vivi's chances to the curb... not just yet. He's showing signs of life here and there and Pikachu isn't massively ahead of him.

Only because Pikachu is beating him to a pulp and throwing the remains here and there. They'll stop twitching eventually.

No, really, he's done. All that could save Vivi now is a very strong day vote, which he lacks.

BOLTALIC PREDICTION: Pikachu's going to bomb it up with the day vote.

I've done research, so don't doubt it. (Let's just say Pikachu's don't like Tuesdays in October.)

A strong night vote followed by just hanging tough with the day vote could save him. Vivi's day vote isn't really that bad, he split it with Zelda pretty effectively back in the day, and he didn't lose too much last round.

Vivi will have to actually do something with the night vote, though - so far all he's been doing is letting Leon kill everyone and staying closer to Tidus than the rat.

I can't see Pikachu losing here. Vivi may take the lead with the night/during school votes, but Pikachu should have a monstrous ASV. Thank god Ama beat Ada, otherwise Pikachu would have had a great shot to go to round 4, where he would have SFF'd Ganon and resulted in a Chief > Danta upset.

No wonder noone fell off the leaderboard.

I am seriously wondering if this is the least we've ever seen the leaderboard change in an upset... (NGamer?) said that only one person in the Top 50 moved after Ammy's upset. Even Starcraft beating Zelda:WW caused a lot of commotion in the standings.

BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 10/15/2007 10:35:07 PM | message detail
Starcraft beating WW probably had a lot of Starcraft backers in the leaderboard to begin with, given the tear it went on through that bracket. A lot of the people already on the leaderboard had Starcraft going far.

Nobody had Ama going to round 3, and barely anybody had her going to round 2. I'm willing to bet half the people that got her in yesterday's match were either zero brackets or fav brackets.
