Planman is starting to really get it in gear. Hopefully he can use the next 4-5 hours to shave off a few percentage points.

This is Alucard, the guy who barely beat Captain Falcon being leeched by Diddy Kong and Link can't break 73% on him? Pathetic.

Alucard not a low midcarder confirmed.

@Whoever called me an idiot: I was saying that Freeman is worth around 30% on Samus because he got 34% on her when Ganondorf was leeching. Peach is probably worth around 25%, and I never thought that Freeman would break 55% on Peach. Your predictions for that match were just WWWAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY too much.

30% on Samus isn't exactly all that strong either. That's low midcarder level. The problem is that Freeman was so weak once upon a time that for him to be worth 30% on a mid-tier Noble Niner is such an accomplishment for him that it isn't even funny. Or it's funny for us.

Heh, i never go for the tie. Besides a lot people picked X with 60%, and at least one guy picked X with something a little lower than 59.99%, so X would have to really close to 59.99 without going over for that to be the top pick.

Match LXVI: (5) Pokemon Trainer Red vs. (13) Mega Man X

Last Round

Pokemon Trainer Red – 50.16%
Revolver Ocelot – 49.84%

Captain John Price – 34.28%
Mega Man X – 65.72%

Analysis

This match received hyped by certain individuals pre-contest, but after round 1 that pretty much died on the spot. Pokemon may be looking pretty good in this contest, but you would have to do a lot stretching before you can get an upset in this match. Still this is a decent match to see where the new comer ranks in the grand scheme of things.

Mega Man X may have not got a blowout, but I think that was because we underestimated Price rather than X looking weak. I still feel that X is ranked near Mega Man and would love to see the two have match against each other, but looking ahead if Mega Man is any indication it seems like X is heading for a SFF match against Link in the next round.

Red was able to win in one of the best matches of the contest so far, but since his opponent was Ocelot that means Red is not the character that some people thought he would be. Still the guy should have a respectable performance and may even look decent if Ocelot got a delayed boost from Metal Gear Solid 4.

Easy win for X who is on route to being killed by Link. I don’t think SFF will be involved since Pokemon is pretty separate from Nintendo and Mega Man X isn’t exactly Nintendo either. Whether or not Red can outdo Price’s percent will be interesting to see, I think he can, but it won’t be by much.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Mega Man X > Revolver Ocelot

charmander6000’s Prediction: Mega Man X wins, 64.38% - 35.62%

I went with 59.94% here. I figured that Red would be a bit stronger than Captain John Price and Mega Man X already got 65.72%. Mid-60s seemed way too high for me.

Unless you think Ocelot has gotten a massive boost from MGS4 there's no reason to think Red won't be crushed that badly unless you think Mega Man is significantly stronger than Mega Man X.

Has there ever been a ruling on Dracula? He's only based off myths... he's a different character in the Castlevania universe. I'm not sure how he'd fail to qualify. Lament of Innocence also cemented the fact he's purely Castlevania, adding his origin which is totally different from the historical/literary Dracula.

Iamthekuzalol | Posted 2/17/2010 7:15:19 AM | message detail
MMX vs Red is indeed a hard oracle match to predict. Ocelot only scored 39.5% on Kratos last year and i would expect MMX to be stronger than Kratos by a good margin regardless of which format. I am putting MMX to score 61.29% on Red and i feel quite uneasy about it.

Maybe MMX will pull off a double and made Red/Ocelot look weaker than Price or he fail to break 60% making himself look a fluke last year, who knows.

The problem is that the guys who made the Castlevania games worked Bram Stoker's Dracula into the timeline of the series.

ShatteredElysium | Posted 2/17/2010 7:33:38 AM | message detail
Yeah, the MMX-Red match is a tricky one. Oracle wise I could see MMX winning with anywhere between sort of 57-65%. I would have been leaning towards the higher % end if not for the Price match so I'm just going to go for damage limitation somewhere in the middle and hope that I don't lose too much ground on anyone above me.

One hour left until a possible perfect prediction in the Oracle. All Link needs to do is not go berserk the last hour and rise only 0.03% to land right on 71.68%.

This match pretty much proves that Missingno is the only one with a chance in hell of beating Link, and even then he needs a huge bandwagon. And even then he still probably loses.

If Missingno gets by Sephiroth I think he can take on Link.

Sephiroth will be too strong; night helps him greatly because the potential ralliers will be asleep, and no-one in Europe will rally against FFVII. That and Dissidia has boosted him to possibly the 2nd strongest character indirectly (not saying this as a fanboy; Cloud's my favourite but Seph clearly one-upped him in the first round).

If he beats Seph, the only thing stopping him is mid-contest anti-voting, which I won't write off as impossible given how smarky these voters have become. It's very hard for me to picture Missingno carving a death route through four Noble Niners only to flub against Link in the finals.

I think Price proved MMX ain't in Mega Man's league because I can't see Price giving Cid a good match, personally. Maybe I'm wrong there, but I don't see it.

The night match will benefit Sephiroth, though Missingno gets the benefit of a Sephiroth's very terrible board vote. Missingno will probably need to get the lead to at least 3000 to be safe here. When L-Block defeated Snake for the first time, he got the lead up to 1828 in about 3 hours and was down to 816 at halfway into the match.

I don't see it either, which is why I'm thinking 10000 people looked at Price's face and assumed they were supposed to treat him like WCC or Missingno.

I've never thought that MMX was close to Mega Man. Mega Man still represents MMX in addition to original Mega Man, regardless of which series is more popular. I still don't think they should both be in the contest though. Just give Mega Man MMX pictures once in a while.

The gap between Crono and Seph is probably a good bit bigger than that between Seph and Link. If he can close the former without the benefit of a run of matches in a few days (as he'll get before the final) or "final hype", he'll close the latter with ease I expect. There's also the matter of Seph being taken on in a night match, whereas the final will have all 24 hours.
