DAMNIT. I am so mad about the fact that I was all "man I'm gonna get this wrong" before the match started.

Now I can't rub this **** in KP or Leon's faces without looking like a complete tool.

Of course. Why was I so stupid!? SF4's surprised win and DMC3 high numbers were indications of mass capcom favoritism this poll. Dang! I should've known.

I don't have to accept any such thing, because I have MM9 > DS in my bracket! And argued for MM9 the whole time!

lol oh, I see now. You're just worried XD Good not to get overconfident I guess :D

Banking in the first round is so much wiser, Wylvane. Why not just wait until you've at least got some information to go on. I'm playing it conservative through the first round and then plan to just not bank more than once or twice from then on out.

Unexpectedly high bracket support for Mother 3. Maybe not so unexpected since Mother 3 had an unexpectedly high level of strength. The perfects and -1s actually ended up doing a bit worse than the -2s and -3s. I suppose this is partially due to the Board 8 users in the range who thought this match was obvious. Board 8 did really underestimate Mother 3. If it was up against a weaker game, we wouldn't have been killed again.

13 people fell off the Top 50 today. SpyderScythe, JRockish2, Dues0001, mcg20k, executorelder, mellahan, SikkaSill, NintendoMoose, NinjaWarrior455, ExMechaGodzilla, jayessbee23, aamot and EvilGenius247 didn't have Devil May Cry 3 beating Mother 3.

Because you need all the points you can get. The points you've sat out on early on will bite you in the ass later on.


And regarding the update, it was obvious MM would fall in %... but it still gained like 40. As long as it keeps the gains up, its fine.

After seeing Mother 3 of all games putting up 36%, this result doesn't surprise me. Name brand definitely matters. I mean are you gonna sit here and tell me that 36% of the site played Mother 3? A great deal of round 1 matches will involve games that people haven't even played before.. I'm willing to bet a very sizable percentage of the population hasn't played either of these games, and Mega Man just wins votes by default.

That was my logic for picking Mega Man 9 here.. and while the match certainly isn't over by any means, the early results are encouraging.

**** that. If I win big in Round 1, I can still use that knowledge in Round 2 to risk big. Plus if you **** up in Round 2, you have to rely on banked points, which will be low. Gambling big twice and winning even one of those gives you a solid chance of winning.

Gambling big is the way to win here.

Seriously, though, a download-only game winning, a Japan-only game avoiding a doubling, a Halo game beating a Mario game, cult games actually winning matches.

This contest spits in the face of everything we've come to know about GameFAQs contests, and I ****ing love it.


That makes me think......Crono > Mario BELIEVE

Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest.

gotta look at this like poker. You're taking a bunch of 50/50s where I'll be taking maybe like 3 or 4 75/25s to get me to victory.

What kind of trends do Mega Man/MM2/MMX give us for this match, fifteen minutes in? I imagine it's only getting close from here...do any of their trends suggests DS overturns this bad start after the Power Hour?

DS has both of my entries, but I'm all for MM9 kicking ass too, so whatever.
