Mega Man usually has abyssmal bracket support, but this is ridiculous. Think this calls for a hearty lol master chief.

It really isn't that crazy if you've been looking through bracket predictions from the past. If anything I thought it would be lower.

No different, Sora was obviously looking worse here to begin with than he did the past 2 years.(A Bowser > Sora train wouldn't have even started otherwise) Riku doesn't help matters either

The crazy thing is, 2k5 Bowser (yes, that Bowser) is barely expected to 60-40 pre-KH1 Sora. We know Bowser 2k5 is hugely overrated, and KH2 was huge for Sora. Yet, now... we have this. Is Sora's KH2 support gone?

I think its just KH in general being LOL-worthy this year. But since Squall/Auron both got KH pics, they should balance each other out!

A maximum of 35% had Zack beating Mega Man. Half the people who picked MM to beat Zack had him losing in round 3. Wow Chief kills casual brackets. If Mario wins next round let's see how far his %age drops.

Depends. Do we want to say Bowser doing so well makes Kefka look great which in turn makes Terra look pretty good?

Or do we want to say Sora doing so poorly makes Squall look pretty sad?


Much more the former. This year is more important than previous years. Sora/Squall are not tied at the hip at all.

Why are you acting like Sora wouldn't be at 47% or higher in a 24-hour match?

Well, it makes sense. He hasn't had a real game in 4 years, and no sign of KH3 on the horizon. When it does come out though, watch out Noble Nine.

Man, I'd hope Bowser could get better than 60% on a character who wouldn't exist yet!

You severely underestimate how much of this is because of it being a night match.

Bowser will likely end up high enough to win a 24 hour match but he'd get no more than 52%.

Yeah, if Sora is getting 47% updates in the Power Hour then this looks a lot more respectable by the end of the match.

Sora might get 46% without his ASV. He's going to kill in the Deep Night and it looks like might start pulling out some close updates as soon as we get out of the Power Hour. I think we just found our case where someone gets under 47.5% (or even 47) in a 12-hour night match but could still reasonably win a 24-hour one.

For whatever it's worth, the ONE time Squall and Sora didn't have a close match in 4-ways, Squall got 60.63% on him.

Huh, Sora's doing very well in Europe and Asia right now. It's still early though, I expect it will end up close to the North American numbers there, as Sora/Yoshi did last year.

Yeah whatever Sora ends up with, you can comfortably tack on a minimum of 2 points for a 24-hour match. Might be more like 3.

If Sora gets higher than 47.50% it could be reasonably argued he'd be the favorite if it were a 24-hour match.

Sora always does very well in Asia. Europeans are basically choosing the lesser of what they consider to be two evils.

He's doing poorly in North America now, but that happened last time with Roxas and Charizard (and Missingno). When they get the actual ASV they shoot up like a rocket.

The Pokemon fanbase has basically turned Missingno into the eldritch god of Pokemon. He has great power, but is beyond your understanding, and can royally mess you up if you deal with him in the wrong way.

...What? You thought Missingno doing well was all joke votes? We love the guy!

This is quite possibly the most accurate description of Missingno ever to be devised <_<






and I have Snake vs Cloud, so im pretty sure I have Him(along with the cool clean 100 Ima make) on my bracket.
Not that it matters anyways, Since I managed to confuse Bowser for Sora, Ryu for Dante(that one just made me go what the hell), and Ness for Big Daddy, and Liquid sucked it up incredibly.

I have an idea. There was a Mario character Reboost this year. Now you ask, why did Amaterasu do so well on Luigi if that is the case? The answer is simple: for the same reason that Alucard, Ryu, and Captain Falcon did so well- underrated Crono! Take this as seriously as you want.

I'm okay with this!

You know, if Frog and Magus are equal, Bowser gets 55% on Alucard.

Sora still gets over 45% before the end of this match.
Although with the way Alucard looks stronger and stronger with each passing match, I have to wonder if this really is all part of The Plan. And therefore Alucard > Link in 2014.
