No ASV, LMS! It's a Sunday and the match is over at noon anyway!

...Falco probably would win it if we had one though. Star Fox's ASV is surprisingly good, which tells me that they probably get a lot of strength from Smash.

There's a good reason why blow-outs aren't coming so easily: the vote-in polls. Bottom-seeded characters are having to prove themselves through popularity to get those positions now. Instead of Doc Louis and Jigglypuff, we got MMX and Sub-Zero. Only the most supported fodder skipped the vote-in polls, so now characters like Prinny get to face Ike instead of Cloud.

Falco probably gets most of his strength from Smash. Melee, too, meaning he'd get the incredible early vote and ASV, plus the horrid overnight.

After 16 rounds
2k3 - 233 perfects
2k4 - 797 perfects
Sp2k5 - 46 perfects
2k5 - 1032 perfects
sp2k6 - 474 perfects
2k6 - 2767 perfects
2k7, 2k8, Games 2k9 - 0 perfects
2k10 - 13 perfects

It's not quite up to the 4-way contests in terms of difficulty, but this is probably the most difficult 1 on 1 contest so far. I don't have stats for 2k2 and we didn't get stats this early for Sp2k4 so I'm not sure about those.

It's amazing that Peach is in the 80% club, though she did get the one opponent that only she could crush like no one else.

Who did Magus beat to get 80% anyway?

I still think Link/Tingle would be a bigger blowout than Snake/Tanner. Link reduced the formidable Ganondorf to being weaker than CATS, and people actually like Ganondorf. Imagine how Link would do against one of the worst video game characters ever conceived.

Ike's got a good shot at it. Heck, Captain Falcon's got a good shot at it since he faces Wander. Wouldn't be surprised if Snake manages to quad Protoman, but I doubt he will.

Oh, and calling it now, but don't overlook Zelda/Travis Touchdown. She could easily quadruple him.

Magus beat Luca Blight in 2004.

Link should get the biggest blowout ever in Link/Tingle, but I'm afraid at this point enough people will find Tingle funny or anti-vote Link for being champion to get him over Tanner's mark. Would probably expect high 80s.

Travis is going for the upset, man. NMH2 comes out in a week or two. It'll be a big boost for Travis!

Don't we have fewer brackets this contest than the other 1v1 contests? That's probably a factor as well, though even then this is still less than you'd expect.

Doesn't hurt we have more debatable matches in the first two divisions of Round 1 like Alucard/Magus, Red/Ocelot, Shadow/Ammy, Drake/Boss, and Altair/Liquid. Definitely more than we usually have this early!

Yeah, I forgot, no ASV. Since I live in India this match started at 10:30am for me. And I was supposed to go to school on Saturday, but I stayed home and finished some homework instead. We all know that that is more enjoyable!

How is Mario's ASV nowadays? It seems that his trends somewhat imitate SMG's trends in the games contest, and that's not a very good thing!

And I refuse to believe Link would get less than 90% on Tingle.

I would refuse to live in a world where Tingle could break 10% on Link. It's hard to tolerate living in a world where Tingle could break 10% period.

Mario's trends are run of the mill Nintendo. Good opening, bad night, excellent morning, poor DSV, good ASV, bad SNV (except when Mario is pulling off his clutch magic- in that case, A+ top of the line SNV).

Tingle is a creep. He's an overgrown manchild who stalks you and enslaves children to perform mindless tasks for his pleasure while he charges exorbitant prices for ****ty maps.

If Megaman is trailing Cid at the freeze, he's doomed.

In fact, he better be at at least 55% at the freeze, or he's probably doomed. And given Megaman is such a huge bracket favorite here, 55% at the freeze is probably not enough either.

I do too. Considering how hard Tingle got his ass kicked there, Link would massacre if he got Tingle one-on-one. MASSACRE. Seriously, Tingle got 14.22% on Luigi in a four-way with Mudkip and pre-SSBB Pit. Link put Ganondorf under CATS one-on-one. I think Link/Tingle would break Solid/Tanner's record unless there was a movement for Tingle...and who wants to be a part of that rebellion?

Well I'd hope for Link to go get mid-high 90s against Tingle, as he should. I'm just cautious because there does seem to be a group of voters who find Mudkip and Tingle funny, and no character has broken even 85% since 2004.
