and KH2 eradicates the cuts, with interest! --- "You brought your *****, to the waffle hut?" |

I would like to think that B8 would set aside it's bracket-whore mentality and just vote for the better game! A man can dream. --- DFF |

I would like to think that B8 would set aside it's bracket-whore mentality and just vote for the better game! But the better game is the bracket favourite. --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls GotD Bracket: 136/150 Today's Matches: LoZ: TP & KH |

52.35% hour for KH2 there. This one feels as done as a match with a 427 vote lead during the ASV can be. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |

60.71% updates who wants 'em --- xyzzy |
transients | Posted 12/10/2010 2:03:37 PM | message detail |
you know, I think KH1 has won more updates this match. it's just that when KH2 wins one, it kills it. --- xyzzy |
KamikazePotato | Posted 12/10/2010 2:04:43 PM | message detail |
Maybe, but KH1 only led for 7 updates total. KH2 has been in control the entire time. --- DFF |
transients | Posted 12/10/2010 2:05:06 PM | message detail |
yeah I know. it's just weird how KH2 just destroys some updates. if we had instant updates, who knows. --- xyzzy |
LeonhartFour | Posted 12/10/2010 2:05:26 PM | message detail |
KH2 has won twice as many updates over the last 2 hours as KH1 has, just from a quick glance. --- Support Barret Wallace (Final Fantasy VII) for Character Battle IX! http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/3834/banner1barret.jpg |

I
doubt bracket voting means much of anything that late in the game.
Melee/Brawl pretty much kicks off the last week of the contest. That's
the time when we've been seeing the cray-zay results, not standard
results fueled by bracket voting. Also, are we even sure Brawl has brackets? Melee has the 1-seed and had to deal with CoD. I'd guess brackets are relatively split. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

KH2 destroying some updates always happens because KH1 drops off in votals. --- DFF |

That's the time when we've been seeing the cray-zay results, not standard results fueled by bracket voting. If Cloud can win the board vote against Solid Snake in the semi-finals then brackets matter for the entire contest. --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls GotD Bracket: 136/150 Today's Matches: LoZ: TP & KH |

I would like to think that B8 would set aside it's bracket-whore mentality and just vote for the better game! As charmander said, solution is to always pick your favorite in tossup matches. Failing that, it's always cool to be happy when your favorite game wins. --- on 4ways: right now they have inherent flaws, but could be easily fixed by implementing approval voting! ~ToadYoshi 1.

transients | Posted 12/10/2010 2:07:49 PM | message detail |
yeah
they should be split. hell, even we're split. Brawl might be a slight
fave just because of COD. I doubt people looked at the seeding when
looking at this match. --- xyzzy |

From: LeonhartFour | #268 I too was surprised by this. Aren't the last couple matches full days? Is next week the last week? ;_; --- I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. |

Melee was the 1 Seed. As Galaxy just showed, that matters a lot. --- DFF |
LeonhartFour | Posted 12/10/2010 2:08:54 PM | message detail |
Yeah, brackets probably aren't greatly in favor of one over the other, I'd imagine. Speaking of which, I wonder how low the prediction percentage for this one will go. --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?"

that's the round of 16, so yeah, about 8 or 9 days. --- xyzzy |
transients | Posted 12/10/2010 2:09:25 PM | message detail |
well, the contest ends in 13 days. --- xyzzy |
charmander6000 | Posted 12/10/2010 2:09:58 PM | message detail |
And even if we go by favourites Melee doesn't really have the advantage, over half the board prefers Brawl. --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls GotD Bracket: 136/150 Today's Matches: LoZ: TP & KH |

From: KamikazePotato | #272 Well, yeah, but Melee just lost 25% of its bracket support jumping from round 3 to round 4, so who knows. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |

Oh, are these your first match pics accepted? Congrats, yoblazer! --- DFF |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 12/10/2010 2:13:35 PM | message detail |
Yeah, FFIX's pic means KotOR's upset chances are kinda dead. I was hoping for smiling Zidane. Also, Pokemon wins. It's in my bracket, so I'll take it. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

FFX/GS: I really like it KotOR/FFIX: Vivi looks awesome RE4/P4: Looks like P4 is trying to pull the Melee effect, too bad the yellow is ugly Portal/ME: Pretty good MGS3/PM: Big Boss looks godly, PM looks like someone took a picture of their tv MGS4/SotC: Not liking this picture, not sure why MM/GSC: No Link, Pokemon wins WW/Oblivion: wtf is that a crocodile? --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls GotD Bracket: 136/150 Today's Matches: LoZ: TP & KH |

Glad my pic sabotage for MM worked! I mean, I'm glad my completely fair and balanced pic without Link got accepted. --- DFF |

That KOTOR/FFIX pic has got to be one of the best. And does anyone have any ideas on how many of the top people will have a Karma entry for the battle bracket? I'll have... 49000 potential if KHII wins. Wondering if banking would be a halfway decent option for me at any point... |
