Guess how many teens posted... I wonder how many battle brackets we'll lose today. We hiveminded pretty strong yesterday, but I feel like this one at least 10 should fall (or at least 10 should remain if the pretty much impossible happens), right? I'm on board with Frogus, so it looks like I'll be sticking around. I think we might dip below 100, but not much below. I honestly don't think we'll dip below 50 until the semifinals and we could realistically finish with 25-30 perfects. --- Jerry Sandusky taught me how to play ball hockey |
If you'd been in charge of matching up the 2-seeds and 7-seeds, how would you have gone about it? Here's my 2 cents: 2-seeds -------------------- 7-seeds Sonic/Robotnik .......vs. Banjo/Gruntilda Sub-Zero/Scorpion vs. Raiden/Vamp Fox/Wolf................... vs. Blazkowicz/Hitler MM/Wily.................... vs. Big Boss/The Boss Tidus/Jecht............. vs. Katherine/Catherine Frog/Magus............ vs. Leon/Ada Solid/Liquid............ vs. Yuna/Seymour Sora/Riku................ vs. Crono/Lavos Okay, I'll admit that's partially with the benefit of hindsight, but I'd like to see several hundred brackets go perfect through that minefield! --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
I somehow doubt we'd have that many perfects. More than half are looking to get wiped out in one go, and then the others are gonna be split among more than one late round match. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png |
3 PM, time to see what the ASV will do. My guess is nothing. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
I
think no matter what the outcome of Sora vs Dante will be, we'll be
below 70. There are some hard matches left after that, people might bank
etc. I'd be surprised if we had more than 10 perfects by the end. --- [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ -Red |||||||||||||| -Green ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] -Blue Play Earthbound. |
We're going to lose all our remaining perfects on Link/Cloud. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
That's
what I'm thinking. If there's no upsets then sure, we'll have 25-35
perfects at the end. But hardly anyone wants to bank at this point. All
it will take is one good upset to drop the perfects down 60 to 80%. And if Mario breaks Link than all bets are off. More than likely though, I'll agree, there will be 20 or so perfect by the end. --- http://objection.mrdictionary.net/go.php?n=5364544 |
From: Guess how many teens | #306 Kinda doubt it. We lost like THREE on yesterday's match, which was a decent place to either bank or go for the upset. We might not even dip below 100 today. Regardless, we won't lose a single perfect on the Cloud/Snake/Squall matches, so the number left tonight is the same number that'll head into Sora/Dante. If it's around 100 and Sora wins, we'll still be way over 70. Assuming no upsets (which at this point, means the Trainers beat the Fighters), we may even be at 50 perfects for Alucard/Frog, which is ****ing ridiculous. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Anyone
remember that wild theory someone had about CT/Castlevania SFF? Watch
Frog/Magus take advantage of this unusual phenomenon to sneak to
victory! --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
Yes,
I think most people who bet on Sora/Dante will go with Sora. Wouldn't
surprise me if more people banked than went for Dante. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
Anyone
remember that wild theory someone had about CT/Castlevania SFF? Watch
Frog/Magus take advantage of this unusual phenomenon to sneak to
victory! It wouldn't help if Alucard/Dracula are stronger.....then they'd be the team getting the SFF. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
Why have we never seen this Alucard in a match picture? http://www.relyonhorror.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/alucardnes.jpg --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Black Turtle > Me |

Swap Sonic with Sub-Zero, and Crono with the Bosses and you have 3 great matches (X/Sonic, Crono/MM, Sora/Bosses and potentially Squall/Bosses. Swap Yuna with atherines for another great match. --- Game of the Decade? More like Guru of the Decade mirite? |

Finally a cut from Frog/Magus. And now I no longer care to watch this match. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Black Turtle > Me |
From: Zylo the wolf | #313 To be honest, I bet Alucard/Dracula would do better if they had their images that were closer to the stereotypical Dracula/Alucard. --- Thanks for reinforcing your stupidity, jerks. Einstein > You |
Looks like Chell/GlaDOS won the first hour of the ASV by 10 votes. And gave it all back immediately. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
Is there any place out there with data on how often Dante and Vergil are used in MvC3/UMvC3? If not, anecdotal evidence would also be appreciated. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Wow, this contest is so bad that the ASV in a CT match is just a stall. --- Fight like dragons, have no fear, swords are made of STEEEEEEEEL~ |
Yeah, I think Frog/Magus are safe here. --- http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2011/8/22/2094c2de-bae8-4f5b-9f27-67eaff0aaeaf.jpg |
Frog and Magus have been safe since the freeze. Trends are never off by that much! It's just like how Cloud/Snake was over at the freeze last year when Snake only had 52%. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
From: AxemRedRanger | #321 Online on the PS3 they're both among the characters I see the most. Dante, Vergil, Wesker, Sentinel. And yeah CT has this pretty easily at this point. They had it when they hit 1000. Like Red Sox said this is like a 2000 lead in a normal contest. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
This is probably CT's most boring close match. But we still have nearly filled up a stats topic over one match! That's a record for this contest...! --- http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/8718/leonflowchart.png |
CT is saving the choke/clutch for next round, clearly...! --- Fight like dragons, have no fear, swords are made of STEEEEEEEEL~ |
60% update for Portal there. Huh. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
Oh god, CT and Castlevania. Will votes somehow regress during that ASV? --- "Go get me Jared...from Subway!" -- CM Punk Future 2011 Battle Challenge Champion! |
This
is to Rivalry Rumble what MGS2/SotC was to GotD. I feel our only good
chance at what we'd universally deem a "good match" rests with
Alucard/Frog and Maybe Cloud/Snake. I think Link will run away with any
match he's in and that the Trainers will easily win their next two
matches before bowing out with 45% on Mario. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
From: LeonhartFour | #328 I assume that's the first 60% update for anyone (I mean, if CT couldn't even do it during the freeze). --- Yoblazer: http://8board.webs.com/ariel.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Fighters > Trainers Yes --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |
We had a couple of 60% updates during the dead zone, but other than that. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |
Frog/Magus had a 60.5% update in the seventh hour (83 to 54). --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
junk_funk posted... What's this burst of votes about? Probably just a rally. Glados has had a spike in votes.. it'll likely go down after a few updates --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
Those were Portal's two biggest updates in the past six hours. Huh. --- Fight like dragons, have no fear, swords are made of STEEEEEEEEL~ |
epic 1100 vote stall --- xyzzy |
So tomorrows match....Cloud/Seph to get over 80% with ease? Kratos/Zeus is weaker than Kratos/Lloyd I would have thought. --- http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/5716/linkpron.gif http://bigpichost.com/files/longtonue_n3wo0rx7.gif |
From: The_Djoker | #340 If only. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
I
dunno, they both have terrible board votes. Cloud/Seph will probably
be(more)anti-voted, but they also will most likely have the bracket
vote. They'll do worse percentage wise this round if I had to guess. --- - |
Kratos/Zeus
feels like a match Cloud/Sephiroth can excel at. They're fellow
Playstation characters, and not the type of characters who would draw
out the FFVII anti-votes in force. Though after last round, I've sort
of have the feeling that Cloud/Seph can't hit 80% on anything, just
because of the anti-votes. And of course, even if Kratos/Zeus are
relatively good opponents for them, they're still not as good as Link,
the one opponent who minimizes the impact of the anti-votes, for the
reason that the largest portion of the anti-voters would already be
voting Link anyway. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
red
sox, are you considering playing Skyward Sword anytime soon? It thrills
me beyond belief to tell you that SS Link is arguably the best and most
accomplished version of Link. --- Yoblazer: http://oi52.tinypic.com/ad21i1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
I still don't have any current gen systems, so........maybe I'll get myself a Wii and SS for Christmas? --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
GlaDOS won that hour, but not by much. --- My Japanese alter-ego. Hey all this is Bartz btw. |
Looking
back at Kratos/Zeus, they actually rose over 4% on the first update of
the match after the board vote. Not even Cloud/Sephiroth managed that.
Kratos/Zeus rose more than Cloud/Sephiroth from the freeze until the
end of the match. Kratos/Zeus finished 7.54% higher than what he had at
the freeze, while it was just 7.08% for Cloud/Sephiroth. I figure Cloud/Sephiroth still loses the board vote here, because even Vincent easily got the board vote over Sephiroth back in 2010. Before Sephiroth actually started to get anti-voted harder after taking out Missingno. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
Interesting.
I figure as you do that Cloud/Seph will probably still lose the board
vote, because they always do. I want to note that in last year's final,
Cloud was over 45% on Link a minute into the poll, and only finished a
bit more than 1% above that at the end of the day. Of course, Cloud got
killed in the second half of the first 5 minutes, when the typical
FFVII anti-voting overpowered the Link anti-voting from people who know
that Link Always Wins. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
This
match have been going nowhere for the last 4 hours. If this was a
12hour daymatch, then Frog/Magus would only have a 300 lead. Now that
would've been a match like Chrono Trigger VS Lttp. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Black Turtle > Me |
Oh wow the CT guys rose almost 0.1% since I last checked. I just realized how many guys with awful ASVs we have in this division. Ouch. Ness and Giygas probably have the best day vote out of everyone in this division. --- Currently Playing - StarCraft: Brood War |
