And L-Block's victory leads to the champion donating his prize money to Child's Play. A fitting end, for what L-Block has given us.

Simple Explanation of Extrapolated Standings:
A = Strongest Character
B = Character Weaker than A
C = Character Weaker than B
To figure out a character's Xsts Percentage ---> [(CvB)(BvA)]/50 = CvA
To compare how C would do against B ---> [(CvA)/(BvA)]*50 = CvB
To figure out how B would do against A ---> [(CvA)/(CvB)]*50 = BvA

That's cool how the winner is donating that money though...

I am guessing that EC will still win the first place prize due to being the highest legit bracket. Moltar should be 2nd, and hochiminh 3rd.

Dammit, swirldude, do not ignore me!

I have defeated Master Moltar! I am X_and_Zero, and I will have third place! Lopen is king!

I only dropped from 11th to 20th with L-Block winning? WHOA. I sure hope I win a prize. I'm worried that the fact that several gurus have beaten me means the proportion of the highest ranks will abnormally large as to being prize eligible, but then again you'd expect almost none of the L-Block-winning brackets to been an eligible prize bracket.

.26% of the brackets called L-Block getting first...WOAH. That means...if there's 20,000 brackets, only 52 people had L-Block! WO! How many brackets were there, exactly? I forget. Someone with MC as the champ made the leaderboard. =P (musta had MC > L-Block in the finals?)

Too bad there wasn't someone who had Gordon Freeman winning it on the final leaderboard. If I do my calculation correctly... with Gordon Freeman as champ, you could conceivably have gotten... 128+124+120+112+96+64 = 644 points!

i can confirm that. it had a few minor differences like Dante > Leon instead of Vivi > Dante and Sonic > Sora instead of Sonic > Squall. i thought it would be funny to have a bracket on the Top 50 with L-Block as the champ early on. instead, it finishes in second place.....

This match has a lot of parallels to yesterday's, actually. (Other than the lead change)

After all, second place would beat first place both times if they weren't being LFFed by third place. o.O

And 'lol' fourth place. <_<

?Block makes use of square SFF. This SFF does double against cubes, for it's a 3D square. Square SFF is only half as effective on other two dimensional shapes.

?Block is going to have a phenomenal ASV, bank on it.

One last shock for the end of the contest. I'd really started to think L-Block had become invincible...but nope! After all that, Nintendo manages to steal the last laugh.

L-Block's still in second place, though.
And that's probably where it's most comfortable anyway.

Now the question is, when do the contest newbies leave?
(And do I leave with them...?)
