Uh, you do realize Pikachu has also beaten the Block. And more recently.


Not sure what recency has to do with it. I'm just saying that Kratos is just as likely to beat the Block because he's already done it. Whoever wins that match will beat L-Block is all I'm saying.

And yeah, if I could make one change to my bracket, it would be from Charizard > Kratos to Kratos > Sora. I'd feel way more comfortable with Kratos in R5 as opposed to freaking Charizard in R4.

It would take one heck of a GoW3 boost to beat Sora.

It wouldn't really require that big of a boost. I'm as big of a proponent of Sora's strength as anyone, but a reasonable GoW3 boost (plus a little extra due to hype) might be enough.

I still have Sora, but I wouldn't rule it out.

Sora and Kratos are both within Mega Man's half-division in 2006, and he beats Kratos 60-40 based on those stats. Kratos gets GoW2 AND 3 since then, and, well... there was a time that Alucard used to be able to thrash Kratos, y'know!

Feel uneasy about my oracle for the next match. Just wondering why most people are projecting Ryu Hayabusa to finish a good 7-10% above what xstats suggest? Granted the 1 on 1 data is really old for Crash but even trying to incorporate 2k7 4 way xstats he isn't projected 67-70% is he?

Karma Hunter | Posted 1/26/2010 3:40:21 PM | message detail
Hayabusa is heavily underrated in both fourway stats (or so the conventional wisdom goes). I have to agree with it, too. You don't go from decisive victories in R1 to getting squashed in R2 against the same opponents, and there's even a common factor between both years: Solid Snake.

Don't know *why* Snake/Ryu SFF exists precisely, but y'know!

Well using my and Leon's four-ways stats Crash is expected to get 33-35%.

Yeah I know Crash is pathetically weak but don't all xstats suggest it to be a roughly 60-62% win for Ryu?

I'm so dumb. I thought GoW3 wasn't coming out til like June-July of this year and surmised you guys were out of your minds talking about "GoW3 hype" and stuff. Thus, I reasoned Charizard>Kratos was a legitimate upset (in accordance to my massive pokemanz fanboyism)

It comes out on March 16 :/

This is the first year that Crash hasn't even had a new game released. So yeah, I don't know how he's still able to get a good enough seed.

Soul Silver is easily the best out of that (rather poor) group!

Also, Charizard/Kratos is on February 24th. I don't think hype is going to matter that much.

Expecting Crash to be horrible- he got last place easily in a poll with Magus, Phoenix Wright, and Bomberman.

Ok, that's not as embarassing as it sounds, but it's pretty bad.
