I think Ezio had bracket votes above all else, because OH MAN 2 SEED.


LOL bracket underdog to Simon Belmont

Ocelot is low midcarder, potential midcarder. Jill is that strong too. He's in the same group or just a bit weaker than Knuckles, Altair, DK, etc.

If you go by the vote-ins, through Vault Boy X is slightly weaker than Leon.

So 40% on X wouldn't be that shabby. Not particularly strong, but not fodder weak either.

With exception to the -7s, the top tiers do quite well relative to everyone else. The -7s got killed, though. Only one of the five -7s managed to get the match right. The -6s are perfect again and you have to go down to the -15s before prediction percentage falls below 50. From there when you go down the prediction percentage goes down to the low 20s, goes back up to the high 30s for some reason before fading away.

10 people fell off the Top 50. FF7Cloud_Strife, WhatTheDarn, lancealots_son, RegentQuintus, DDRKirbyISQ, Zeriercahl, GameBopAdv, kinsho3, TheMightyPeanut and evilevi13 did not have Jecht winning the match.

5 people got it wrong but survived. Sonic_Factor, Dr_Football, RPGuy96, SyLenXoR and masseffect90 also didn't have Jecht winning the match.

Bah, I wouldn't make any judgements based on the second update. That wasn't very large of a shift, only a 0.31% increase. We'll start talking who got the board vote when there is a large shift in the percentages either next update, or over the course of the next several updates.


And hey, almost a 1% drop for Zelda on this recent update.

Y'know, if Ezio gets the day vote here (not sold on that, it *is* Zelda), and Zelda has the same power versus Samus as she did the last time they faced... AC2's lead is gonna end up with a pretty nice x-stat number.

...Simon Belmont is gonna have a pretty nice x-stat number

Let's see...If we assume Ezio ends up with 38% here (which is probably higher than he'll probably finish, his day vote isn't going to do THAT much, but that's his max range, I think), Simon gets 30.62% on Zelda. PoP got 21.31% on Samus. If we assume the vote-in poll ratio holds (Simon gets 52.59% on PoP there)...Simon Belmont gets 22.45% on Samus, which means...

Samus gets 63.34% on Zelda.

Might have done my math wrong somewhere.
