I'm not really sure how anyone could have possibly expected this sort of result.

Hard to say. It's hard to gauge Fox/Wolf off Yuna/Seymour, but anything in the mid-to-upper 60s would reinforce what I've been thinking about the match.

So, are all these alts that are listed on the leaderboard counted in the number of perfect bracket? There is one person on the leaderboard with 205 alts and another with 130-some. Does this mean there are only like ~100 people with perfect brackets or that there are 400 with ~700 brackets?

Because I don't think anyone would take Sub-Zero or Scorpion to break 70% on Leon.

I have to admit that the voters are smarter than I gave them credit. Really almost no one that likes both series should prefer the WaLuigi rivalry over the trainers.

~70 perfect, unless my math was off, of course some of those not shown on the leaderboard could still have alts as well.

Man! From the looks of it, most of the people in the Spread Betting topic are about to get owned. I can't imagine the Trainers crack 62.5%!

Not really. I've had a couple of stupid upsets that didn't pan out (Link/Crono/Vincent/Zero comes to mind <_<), but I balanced it out with Pikachu in 2007 and Majora's Mask last year. Though that was banking more on Pokemon sucking than it being the strongest game in the bracket.

That Luigi/Link match only proves that WaLuigi is a huge anchor here.

By the way, I'm wondering about Trainers/Samus. I have a feeling it will end up being an SF match and end up something like 60/40 or something crazy like that. Which way, I have no idea.

I have Red/Blue going all the way to the finals but losing to Link.

This is because I based my bracket on the first Rocky movie. Nobody gives them a chance to win but they go the distance with the champ.

Mario/Bowser would be nearing 90 because of the SFF.

Clearly, this means Ocelot is severely underrated.

Excellent result by the Trainers.


1) It's not often you see SFF-beatdowns like this, and they're usually done by strong entrants; the only example of major SFF from a weaker entry I can think of is when Peach smashed Daisy. Are there other good examples of unimpressive characters delivering similar SFF-thrashings?

2) Let's laugh at Waluigi. Luigi's would beat either trainer safely (and has beaten Pikachu/Mudkip before as well), yet he's still getting quadrupled because of Waluigi.


EDIT: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2879

Just wanted to share an SFF-match with Tingle -- the only Nintendo-character as hated as Waluigi. Remember: if you are reviled, there is no saving you.

We have another person on the leaderboard with hundreds of brackets? Seriously? That means that there's actually less than 100 perfect brackets.

I don't get what the point of all of these is. legendmusketeer hasn't dropped any so it's not like he has a bracket set up for every premutation. Were they just trying to dominate the leaderboard?

Disregarding other possible alts not on the leader board, 69 perfect brackets left. Wow. Maybe the contest isn't as easy as we thought.

Then again...yes it is.

Yesterday's chart:

EBV | 39.26% | 60.74% | 703 | (0:00-0:05)
PHV | 38.25% | 61.75% | 4803 | (0:00-1:00)
FNV | 35.08% | 64.92% | 9839 | (1:00-6:00)
BSV | 37.23% | 62.77% | 5409 | (6:00-9:00)
DSV | 35.30% | 64.70% | 12083 | (9:00-14:30)
ASV | 34.70% | 65.30% | 14535 | (14:30-22:00)
SNV | 34.27% | 65.73% | 2790 | (22:00-24:00)

DK's best times were the Power Hour and the morning vote, not really surprising. MK Ninjas do their best work in the second half of the match.

I'm a huge Trainers fan. I had them beating Samus in my bracket. This is a great performance for them, showing they can make use of SFF.

But I'm not counting out Ryu/Ken before they even get a second match. Watch them put up 70/30 tomorrow without SFF.

Perfects after 36 rounds
Character Battle - 0 or 1
Character Battle II - 3
Character Battle III - 8
Character Battle IV - 0 (last perfect died on Round 32)
Character Battle V - 0 (last perfect died on Round 34)
Rivalry Rumble - 447 (69 without alts)

Just a bit easier than previous contests.

I have Samus over Ryu/Ken, so I really need Ryu/Ken to beat the trainers, so Nintendo fans can get their revenge votes in for Samus.
