Samus/Ridley and Link/Ganondorf are at least Nintendo (who have looked great so far) and have been around forever. I'm thinking this spells more trouble for the newest teams than for anyone else. Can't imagine Shepard beating the vampires now.

Score-Brackets-% Right
5--------5788------75.73
4--------6279------68.04
3--------2808------63.46
2--------556--------64.57
1--------76----------52.63
0--------45----------8.89

Perfects did a fair bit better than the -1s this time. However, it's the 0s that really shine here. We should be getting pretty close to just having real 0 bracket attempts down there since 90% of them got the match "right".

5 people fell off the top 50 this time. Former second place th3l3fty, kirbyfan67, CPUIsAnnoyed, Dowolf and TheEndIsAgain did not have Bartz vs Gilgamesh winning the match.

I guess this match and X/Zero are definite proof that the voters are taking the rivalry into account, if DK can perform about 15% higher than expectations.

First off, Link has an eternal rivalry with Ganondorf, so I was not worried about anyone except Cloudiroth anyway, second, even if there was a better rivalry, it is still friggen Link, and he is by god untouchable except by another ultra power anyway.


But what if he goes against 2 of the ultras, who have a better rivalry than pretty much anyone in the bracket to top it all off. I still think it becomes Link Cloud part 13, instead of rivalry vs rivalry or 2 characters vs 2 characters, but if it does. Link is in trouble.

The Nintendo fanbase has been unwilling to give Square anything for like six years. I'm not too worried about Link losing to any Square characters. He can probably get like 47% against the entire cast of Dissidia.

After betting on the ape every year since 2007 to make the miracle happen (except 2010 because yeah no that's not happening). Feels good to not be burned by him.

Honestly, I still feel perfectly confident about Shepard. Assassin's Creed and Uncharted are in their own little category of action-type games. Gamefaqs LOVES itself Western RPG's if Skyrim's anticipation poll and Mass Effect 2's GotY performances are to be believed. Oh and Fallout 3, that thing was pretty good, too.

It feels good to not have a destroyed bracket by the end of the first two divisions.

I just got burned by picking against DK in the battle challenge, so I'm losing my 2100 point streak. Oh well, I'll just start up a new streak.

If you mean the battle challenge, it will happen once Bacon fixes any bugs in the stats. If it's the bracket leaderboard, the users on the leaderboard are determined by when they last updated their bracket.

Was talking about the battle challenge. Thanks. Yeah, the leaderboard actually shows 31 people with 2100 points (as do the actual stats), so I guess whatever bug is present, it's completely misreading some peoples' scores.

How strong is the NPH nowadays d'ya reckon? And how big is that hour 13 gonna be? And do you really in your heart of hearts put this beyond DK's ability to choke away?

I don't really care about bleeding %, as long as DK wins the match. And with ~700 lead 20 minutes in and climbing, that's pretty much a lock.

Well, I just hope it doesn't drop below 55%, that would suck for my already-lost spread betting :P

It's still early in the match (plus it's 4:30 AM in the UK and 5:30 AM in most of Western Europe), so those percentages can still change quite a lot.
