Although, this will probably wind up looking a lot more normal. Skies is going to fall a long way from this.

This is a flawed statement. TWEWY just got done losing. What you have to do is give actual intellectual thought and look for reasoning in the past and present, if you are incapable of that just admit it.

This was the match we lost the remaining -1 brackets? I can't say I expected that. Other than the -1s falling, prediction percentage in the upper tiers were pretty good. For the most part, they are able to stay above 80 until the -8s.

4 people fell off the top 50 today. ZevGun, JojoX97, Kato3211 and Ultimaphazon did not have FF12 beating Crisis Core.

3 people got it wrong and survived. Former first place Teh_Ronin, former second place Popcornball and Mystical_Moon also did not have FF12 beating Crisis Core.

Valve's popularity here exploded with The Orange Box and L4D on consoles. It would be almost nothing on GameFAQs had it remained PC-exclusive.

BGII is probably not the weakest game in the field. I still think that honor will end up going to Braid (SoA > Persona, I think). This will drop off, probably in the upper 50s or maybe 60 by the end. Percentage drop has been pretty hefty so far.

Wow, everyone has missed at least two matches. As for myself....42 points, just 2 points from the leaders, haven't missed anything since Valkyrie Chronicles, and I'm STILL not in the top 1%?! Luckily, Skies of Arcadia should have this victory sealed, meaning I WILL be in that prestigious position tomorrow, as long as something crazy doesn't happen!

Here's a little poll: What is the most LIKELY upset in the remaining Round 1 matches after today?

Battle challenge stats is glitchy as all hell (both alpha door and GoldSlime have confirmed that they actually do not have that much points) so it's kinda pointless to keep a track of it.

Which game does this favor: Chrono Cross or DQVIII? I always figured CC would have an easy time and was surprised to learn the match was at all debated, but I'm not very knowledgeable on either game. Perhaps this makes one look better?

Chrono Cross. DQ just isn't on the depth chart for SE SFF. Also of note CC is the top option.

DQVIII is an amazing and stunning PS2 RPG from a popular series. It's actually the only console one I played and I know it's the same for a lot of others.
Chrono Cross is unpopular for a lot of people. I'm expecting a lot of anti-votes. Since it's RPG vs RPG, I figure it can go either way since both series are big.

I don't think arguing name status will get you very far when Chrono Cross is the main reason why the Chrono name isn't nearly as big as it could be. Square fans might just end up flocking to the game that didn't horribly disappoint them.

I think it would be too odd to check. I haven't looked at it in detail, but the battle stats page is supposedly showing incorrect results or something so I'm not sure if there's much value in generating statistics from it.
