this guy is gonna beat Chief, eh?

Certainly not. Ryu needs 70% here to have a good chance.

You know, there was a part of me who wondered if Hayabusa was just a 4-way fluke. He got doubled by Dante in 2006, and all of a sudden, he's stronger than Riku and Roxas combined, and he can beat Zero? I dunno. Something felt "off" to me.

Maybe Crash is just stronger than he used to be though, but this isn't exactly an inspiring performance.

"Stay with me until the end. Please."
"Not until the end. Always."

He doesn't really NEED 70% or anything.

Keeping this until Casey Mears wins his 2nd Nascar Cup race. 7/7/07
Yay!!!...Ancient Go Yankees!!!

Again 70% is an impossible number for Hayabusa, no way is Crash that weak considering how well he did in the last two contests.

Board vote favored Crash huh

You all make me sick!

No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

XFD at thoughts of Ryu H > MC. This should be at least 70-30 for Ryu to have the slimmest of chances. I'd expect way higher for me to even be worried at all.

The day vote should bring Ryu H up though, and he should come up from this initial vote.

CBVIII: 19/21 - 19 pts - Losses: Ocelot, Liquid

Okay, I'm aware that Hayabusa has a bad board vote, but losing it to Crash? By like 5%? That's just weird.

He doesn't have to get it, it just increases his chances. MC scored 70% on Crash 6 years ago.

I can't blame you guys for board voting Crash. Look at him, all stoked to even be back. First 1v1 match for him since 2004!

he would need to overperform from his 4way strength to give chief a match, though. so 70% isnt a bad mark to try to reach

Contest Analysis Crew Archives: http://thecrew.speedrunwiki.com/

Well considering this is the night vote and Hayabusa is going to miss out from his day vote, 63/64% is right around where he should get.
---

And Samus only scored 75% on him last contest. Guess which result is more relevant?

The 25% he got on Samus in 2008 is a hell of a lot better than 30% on Chief in 2004.

Ryu H is remarkably constant. He might finish with 65%.

Eh, I have no confidence in him beating Chief if he can't beat his 2004 number. Chief is probably stronger than he was then, and is supposed to suck at blowing anyone out. I don't understand why Crash wouldn't be weaker, but I guess why not.

Look at the damage control.

I agree, let's forget that 2004 match. Cause Chief was never in danger from the star of Ninja Garden. Never.

No problem!

No one can beat Chief unless they get 70% on Crash Bandicoot.
---
If you're seeing this sig, I'm not on my computer!

On the other hand, if this is a lack of confidence issue, let's just wait until Chief's had his say!

funny thing is, the 2003 chief beat felix by like 52%, then next year beat crash by 70%. He couldnt have been that strong back then, and Ryu H can't even outdo original Xbox Chief.

Despite the overall low prediction percentage, the top performs did very well. We only lost 1 perfects and over 80% of the -1s got the match right. On top of that we didn't lose any 0 brackets.

11 people fell off the Top 50 today. Mac_Arrowny, LiselTestify, Arioch8688, lolasdaddy, YummySamminch, nintendo_sp, nimbus0770, Riomalice, Tribaler, Emperata and Liltux27 did not have Zack beating Yuna.

1 person got it wrong and survived. Former second place edgewalker16 also did not have Zack beating Yuna.

I have Hayabusa > Chief, and my Oracle doesn't have Hayabusa breaking 70% here. Actually, he's almost exactly where I predicted him.

I honestly can't tell if this is sarcasm, but people denying the Xbox hierarchy have flat-out never played Halo or new Ninja Gaiden. This is one of those "look at nothing but past stats, use no common sense" deals.

I would gladly forsake the streak I have going on if it meant Chief would lose to Spy tomorrow.

Especially because Spy winning would give me hope for the ridiculous Heavy > Roxas pick I made.

Nah, Ulti, not sarcasm here. Like you said, very clear cut hierarchy.

If anything this is the Mario/Samus upset... though with less of stats favoring Ryu H and more people clinging to their hero Zero.

Halo went even with KotOR. I'm not seeing a heirarchy here.

Gotta be honest.

Crash is definitely doing a lot better than I estimated him to. And if this was a day match he'd possibly do better.
