Hayabusa had a good % in round 1, so he should do better than Vivi, but then again even 85% of those who KNOW Chief bombs in these things took him, so..uhh...gonna guess Ryu has somewhere in the low-20s range.

Yeah, I should have known better than to pick Chief knowing he always chokes in matches like this. I guess I just expected Ryu H to drop this year if anything. I didn't start to doubt my pick until after the lockdown.

I'm guessing low 20s percentage myself, I believe the casual bracket makers picked Chief in overwhelming numbers.

Master Chief is one of the most over predicted characters, I wouldn't be surprised if Hayabusa failed to get what Vivi got.

Sub0Zero had under 20% against MC in a R1-match and Ryu was actually the underdog against Jill back in 2004 when he was a 3-seed against her as a 14-seed...so I suspect he'll be killed by bracket-support. I think he'll go under 20% here.

I'm convinced there must be a huge amount of users that fill out their brackets and don't check back in on the contest until the quarterfinals or something. MC's huge bracket support year in and year out, VV's constant bracket disrespect, it's really something.

Subz lost the ASV outright to MC, and Ryu H didn't even have the first 12 hours of the match to play with and build an even bigger percentage. If he can keep MC from taking any hours from him, it'll look really good.

80.08% of people had Master Chief advancing in round 2 last year.

To put that into perspective only Link, Mario, Samus, Solid Snake, Cloud and Sephiroth had higher predictions and that Master Chief probably had the most competitive 8-pack between those characters (Kirby, Big Boss, Raiden)

Chief has a history of only performing really well in Halo hype years (2004, 2007). That, and the Halo games themselves proved to be pretty weak last year, and that was in a format that should have helped them excel. I'm sure it gets anti-voted, but it seems like everything does these days. It's just not that strong of a franchise around here.

You could argue that WoW fans just don't care about their own game's storyline (as a player myself, I can say that most people don't give a crap at all). Ninja Gaiden is, in my opinion, just legitimately better than Halo. It's not exactly that surprising a lot of people think that, and that maybe Halo is another series where people care more about the game itself than the characters.

WarThaNemesis2 | Posted 2/22/2010 12:57:37 PM | message detail
Isn't Ninja Gaiden one of the first story-driven games? There's a cutscene between every level, I think.

I'd say the more hardcore WoW players care about the storyline, as they are experiencing the story with the raid content. But thats probably only 1/5th of the fanbase if that.

I'd say the raiders are the ones who don't care. They just want loot and that's it, they couldn't care less about the storyline. Go online and try to have any serious discussion about the lore or the plot of the game. Proceed to be trolled by "1337" 15 year olds in great gear talking about anal something, Chuck Norris, Thunderfury or murlocs.

And everyone doing well now is going to lose to someone that has Missingno winning the contest anyway!

If I could make ONE change in my bracket, it would be Charizard winning his division. I know he probably won't beat Sora, but I'd happily lose points taking such an awesome risk.

I should also point out that I've now called Sub-Zero > Master Chief, Castlevania > Halo, Kirby > Master Chief (sorry Dante), and now Hayabusa > Master Chief correctly. I say this not to brag (I missed most everything concerning the Halo games, after all) but to wonder why on earth do people continue to take Master Chief and Halo?

Char doesn't even have to beat Kratos that convincingly to be considered the favorite against Sora (imo). He'll step into that match on Gold/Silve launch day and after having smashed L-Block; he could easily be stronger than the Charizard we see in a few days.

Because Ryu H kinda sucks and I thought there'd be an SFF beatdown here.
