The top tiers did quite well considering the low overall prediction percentage. The top 6 tiers go perfect except for the fact we lose a -11 bracket.

Only 1 person fell off the Top 50. SyLenXoR did not have Auron winning the match.

Auron has clearly interfered in this match by running into the ring and hitting Squall with a steel chair to give Terra the early advantage. Auron going for the heel turn!

Oh, and I guess 2 Seed curse confirmed.

Auron only had 57% going into this match, a lot of those people had Aerith.

It's funny that it's taken seven years for old-school Square characters to finally be as strong as we originally expected them to be.

I can see the post-match interview with Coachman now.

Coach: Squall, your old buddy Auron has decided to turn up the heat before your anticipated match, how do you feel about that?
Squall:...whatever*warms up Blasting zone*
Coach: Whoa, don't get so violent, Squall! You're a good guy, think of your fans!
LeonhartFour: Yeah!
Squall: What am I supposed to say about other people's problems? *walks off in huff*
LeonhartFour: *runs off and cries*

Squall is winning in the UK with 77% and in Europe with 68%. Terra should do better once Europe goes to sleep. Squall will have to work extremely hard to get a doubling here.

The one if Missingno beats Yoshi(99% change)then the percentage will be about 8%.And if it wins the entire contest the percentage will be around 0,5%.

I can't wait for the Missingno match today. It's going to be so much fun. If Missingno beats Sephiroth next round, it should definitely beat the prediction percentage that Cloud had against Link in 2003.

Vincent beat Squall very narrowly and in the year he got Dirge of Cerberus and Advent Children. No way he wins a rematch.

Actually, Squall/Vincent took place right before Advent Children was leaked, and Dirge of Cerberus was later. Squall didn't have KHII yet then either, so they probably canceled each other out.


Thanks for finally correcting him, Leonhart. Vincent got the AC:FF7-leak shortly before his match next round with Crono, the American release was (I believe) sometime next year, and both DoC:FF7 and KH2 came out in 2006 as well. They probably have even boosts. Squall got Dissidia last year so he has a new advantage, though it's hard to say if it means anything for a rematch or not.


Anyway, Zero ended up doing what I originally thought would happen despite his strong start: landing between what Fenix predicted and what Aeris got on Auron. Auron looked fine afterall. I didn't know what to expect from Squall against Terra, but considering what we've seen from her against Dante and Zelda in the past and knowing Squall shares the same game she's boosting from, a doubling should be a given...but it's not, at least right now.

Maybe old-Square in general really did boost for whatever reason (and CT somehow doesn't count in that group despite a recent port), but for now Auron looks right back in the game and Darth Revan looks rather justified for now.

Agreed. Missingno's prediction percentage is already pretty low. It might lower significantly past Sephiroth, but it should remain close to what it is now after Yoshi.

More likely it already had its effect in 2008, and Dissidia is responsible for a lot. It makes you wonder how strong a lot of the Nintendo characters would be without Smash.
