I'd take Vivi > Rikku, so I expect he'll do better than her on Kirby. Be absolutely amazed if he wins though.

If I'm not on the leaderboard after today's match, then Ike > Zidane should do it!

I might be able to get back on the leaderboard after this match. I'm at 72 points and there are currently people on there with 72 points. I made a change to my bracket a few days before entries closed, so it would take a while for me to get on. Depends on how bad the top tiers do on this match that will determine if I get back on the leaderboard after this match.

Also, The "Paul Changing his Oracle to a different winner thus the exact opposite entrant wins" Factor (PCHOTADWTTEOEWF) confirmed.

I changed my oracle to Arthas and Kefka won.
I changed my oracle to Altair and Ike won.

Watch now as I change my oracle to Zidane and Ike wins!

Well, at the very least Luster, we're both going to be in the Top #93

At a guess, maybe half the -6s with Vivi make the leaderboard.

Zack beat Altair with 64.91% last year. Assuming Vivi wins with 55%, that would mean that Zack beats Vivi with 61.99%, which would mean Yuna beats Vivi with 54.08%.

If we use Altair's ratio on Duke from the previous round, Zack beats Altair with 60.83%. Assuming Vivi wins with 55%, that would mean Zack beats Vivi with 56.48%, which would mean Vivi beats Yuna with 52.34%, which probably would be more accurate.

All of this is assuming that Altair hasn't boosted at all from last year, which may not be the case though.

Oh, and Vivi should at least manage 45% on Kirby. I don't think he's a lot stronger than Rikku though.

Actually, that makes Zack vs. Kirby seem like it should be a close match, favoring Zack a little bit.

Damn, another hyped year and another bomb. Good job Altair.

Thankfully I made my bracket back when I had some memory of Altair looking bad after he looked great in the round before.

Altair needs 7.45 votes per update to win.

See that's easily doable! What's a measly 1000 votes right?

GlaDOS does pretty well overnight, but Kirby counteracts a lot of that damage with a great morning vote, including two 70%+ hours.

HaRRicH | Posted 2/20/2010 9:59:18 AM | message detail
That's easy enough. Assume Vivi ends at 55% here and give Luigi 100% of Bowser's votes in round 2 last year so there's no possible excuse of LFF. Then Vivi is still projected to beat Luigi, and Luigi beat Kirby in 2006.

Alternatively, as already mentioned, we could compare Vivi/Kirby through Tidus and show Kirby as a clear favorite. We could also use Donkey Kong, Leon, Solid, and Sephiroth to show Kirby as a big favorite, though those involve SFF and/or bandwagoning.


Anyway, wow at the result...okay, not so much at the result but rather Liquid. The **** happened to you?

Oh, and I guess if we assume Duke = Altair, Charizard beats Vivi with 59.11%.

So basically Vivi = Tails if Kratos wins.

Since Tails = Simon, wouldn't that mean Ezio actually has a good shot against Zelda?

Altair's only doing about a percent better in the U.S. compared to overall, so yeah, this will probably end 55/45.
