Why were people talking about this match so much, anyway? Was everyone just that desperate for an upset or something --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
From: MarioSuperstar | #049 Crash/Neo is a great rivalry. --- Starcraft is my life, so without it I wouldn't exist. - Artosis |

battle brackets matter --- ------ --------- |
I still can't believe people thought Crash could win this. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
Immediate overreaction: Could Pac-Blinky have won their division if their match was swapped with the one Chell/GladDOS won? --- "Ahem! There is *sand* on my *boot*!"--Kefka This is Yesmar. |
This is not bracket voting. This is what happens when Crash loses the icon vote. Also, can we finally put top option theory to rest? This is exactly the type of match where it should have the largest effect, and it's clearly having none. --- Bracket: DEAD (unless Waluigi proves himself as the people's champion) Battle: Still goin' |
Neo got nuthin' on Blinky! Blinky chases you down and eats you up. Easy tripling. --- "Ovelia ... SPOILERS IN THE KEYWORDS WOOPS" - Vormav |
Crash :( --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
Crap result. I miss Pac-Man being a random crappy jobber. --- :> |
Quite the board vote for Pac-Man. Already under 70% --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Pac-Man
and Blinky do have rivalry factor. Part of a rivalry is being
long-lived, and that benefits Pac-Man/Blinky more than anything in the
bracket. --- "Ahem! There is *sand* on my *boot*!"--Kefka This is Yesmar. |
I think I moved up a spot on the leaderboard. Did someone in the top 5 get yesterday wrong? --- For your BlAcK TuRtLe. At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza |
Pac-man wasn't always a jobber. He's had surprises a few years. --- *is Dranze* I lost my girl and lost to Black Turtle. Can't get worse. |
From: FateStayAlbion | #052 It was just a few of the people with perfect Battle picks. When you're carrying a 26-match streak, it's easier to see potential upsets in more places. --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/5nw45i.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
From: MoogleKupo141 | #065 I moved up a spot as well. Somebody literally lost their perfect bracket on Layton. --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif |
From: MoogleKupo141 | #065 Literally picked Layton > Kratos --- http://www.yourgamercards.net/trophy/a/NathanDrake90.png |
I don't understand why you guys can't see how awesome Pac vs. Blinky is. They could have done damage in the previous bracket. Oh well. |
Though
this makes my battle bracket look absolutely golden (I ended up
choosing Pac-Man/Ghost in it), this is still the worst result since
Mario World beat SMB1, SMB3 and Zelda 1. Seriously, Pac-Man and one ghost. So. Bloody. Lame. --- "Claire likes to say 'You can be part of the problem, or part of the solution.' But I happen to believe you can be both." - Phil Dunphy |

Was everyone just that desperate for an upset or something It was just a few of the people with perfect Battle picks. When you're carrying a 26-match streak, it's easier to see potential upsets in more places. Pretty much. If I lost my streak now, I would weep uncontrollably. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |

Pac-Man
versus the undead is the best gaming rivalry. It doesn't matter if it's
just one ghost, we know that ghost represents all dead people./ --- For your BlAcK TuRtLe. At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza |
There's actually no rivalry factor to blame here I don't think. This is "everyone knows who Pac-Man and Crash is but hardly anyone cares about either, but they care about Pac-Man more" factor. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
I have spent the last minute thinking about how painful Round 2 of this contest will be. And thus I thank Nintendo for Skyward Sword. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
I'm still proud to have chosen Crash in my regular bracket. Fanboy picks don't get much better than that. --- "Claire likes to say 'You can be part of the problem, or part of the solution.' But I happen to believe you can be both." - Phil Dunphy |
From: Lopen | #076 I disagree. Blinky brings huge novelty and appeal to his team. Neo Cortex is a goofy looking Rodrigo. --- Yoblazer: http://oi52.tinypic.com/ad21i1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
I
have one more uni class today, then a couple of lectures tomorrow, then
Skyward Sword arrives on Friday. Weekend cannot come fast enough. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
I dunno. I'm just saying I'd be pretty shocked if Crash vs Pac-Man was much closer than this. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
That was quite a board vote indeed. --- http://img.imgcake.com/nio/26leonpngat.png http://img.imgcake.com/nio/daigohadoupnguj.png |

I'm a bit surprised not all the perfects got it right. Still you need to go down to -8 before the prediction percentage falls below 90. 1 person fell off the Top 50. MrGamer07 was perfect until now but didn't have Kratos vs. Zeus winning their match. --- Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place Pokemon VGC2012 NW Regional - 16th place |
From: PartOfYourWorld | #079 Agree'd |
Man, does the board hate Crash or what. --- Still bringing peace and balance to the force. |
Damn bracket voters. --- Starcraft is my life, so without it I wouldn't exist. - Artosis |
whoops there goes my perfect bracket --- peace comes from within |
GameFAQs, this is quite the demonstration of awful taste. There's only one way to redeem yourselves: WaLuigi > Trainers in an Ulti-style blowout! Seriously though, as lame as this result is, there's some good news: 1) They'll get curb-stomped in hilarious fashion next round, and 2) I feel like a boss for keeping my perfect battle streak alive. Plus, it's just freaking awesome to see Cortex in a contest. --- "Claire likes to say 'You can be part of the problem, or part of the solution.'

Any guesses as to the prediction percentage? I'm thinking 70%+. --- "Ovelia ... SPOILERS IN THE KEYWORDS WOOPS" - Vormav |
JJH777 posted... Damn bracket voters. I would have voted pacman even if I didn't have a bracket. I've never played a Crash game in my life, and I'm not really a fan of platformers. But if it makes you sleep better to think that bracket voters cheated you, go for it. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |

From: Greyfeld | #090 I'll add to that and say I voted for Crash cause I love it, but I have Pac in all my brackets. |

75% score for Skyward Sword from Gamespot. Cloud/Sephiroth gonna win this, first round anti-votes or no. --- 90s games > 00s games |
Cloud/Sephiroth is not winning this tournament. Even if they beat Link they're gonna lose to Mario in the final. |
So
I recently switched from Firefox to Chrome, because viewing videos in
Firefox kept glitching for me constantly. So I'm now using GameWeasel
instead of GameFox. But the quoting in GameWeasel seems inferior. Doesn't look as pretty. Is there a way to fix that? red sox 777 posted... 75% score for Skyward Sword from Gamespot. Cloud/Sephiroth gonna win this, first round anti-votes or no. I'd like to think so, but Linkondorf has to be the clear favorite right now after the turd FF7 laid in round 1. I don't think Skyward Sword will have much effect though. It just seems that there is a constant FF7 hatebase that will absolutely refuse to let that series win. Even though the Cloud/Sephiroth rivalry by all logic blows Link/Ganon out of the water. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
From: creativename | #097 Funny, I switched to Chrome recently, and Chrome is freakin' terrible for YouTube. I can't even skip to parts of a video until it's already been loaded. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
No
way do Cloud/Sephiroth lose to Mario if they beat Link. Beating Link
is 90%+ of the challenge. The other 10% is stuff like Solid/Liquid,
Red/Blue, Ryu/Ken, and L-Block type entrants. Mario/Bowser is just one
of those, and pretty far down the list if Cloud/Seph already beat Link. --- 90s games > 00s games |
It's
kind of sad that I think I care more about the Link/Cloud match than
all the other matches put together. Usually that's only the case for
Crono matches for me, and because I care way too much about the Crono
matches. This year, most of these matches are just pretty
uninteresting, whereas Link/Cloud should be more competitive than it's
been in years. --- 90s games > 00s games |
