Pretty
comfortable victory here. Samus gonna do the Noble Nine thing where she
doesn't really look good, but then as each opponent becomes tougher she
doesn't fall off as hard. --- "Ovelia ... SPOILERS IN THE KEYWORDS WOOPS" - Vormav |

Just
remember, Samus doesn't have traditional Nintendo character trends.
Other than her ridiculous early vote, she's pretty well balanced across
every other timeframe. --- http://img.imgcake.com/nio/26leonpngat.png http://img.imgcake.com/nio/daigohadoupnguj.png |

Other than her ridiculous early vote, she's pretty well balanced across every other timeframe. Except during the dead zone. Bosses will be making some cuts I bet. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Rivalry Rumble: 65/76 Today: Samus/Ridley |
Are we all taking Kerrigan to beat Yuna? Or are the Trainers getting stronger? --- Xbox Live: Mach Tornado PSN: HeyGuysItsGhoul |
Well, the Bosses will make cuts because that's when they're stronger than usual, not because Samus is particularly horrendous. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
Ryu/Ken managed two cuts during the dead vote, and they were battling from the high 30s. Bosses will be making lots of cuts. --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/ml36gl_th.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
More like Bosses won the board vote, m i rite? Samus for 70% confirmed. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |
Samus's night vote is very terrible and she's got the worst night vote out of any Nintendo character. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
LeonhartFour posted... From: TheCodeisBosco | #061 I still remember when Darth Revan was considered a virtual lock to beat Terra. Good times! If we had any idea Dissidia would actually help FFVI, I doubt it would've been quite so one-sided. Yeah, the Dissidia boost really was quite a shock.

Big Bob posted... Are we all taking Kerrigan to beat Yuna? Or are the Trainers getting stronger? Given that Tidus/Jecht look real bad, and Yuna/Seymour lost to Banjo/Grunty in the vote-ins, Raynor/Kerrigan beating Yuna/Seymour wouldn't shock me. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |

Discounting alts, 33% of the perfects, about 50% of the -1s and about 36% of the -2s got the match right. After the -3s who are in the low 30s, the prediction percentage actually starts going up as you go down the tiers and rises into the mid-50s. This was one of this matches where prior contest knowledge was working against you. After peaking at -11 (61 points) prediction percentage starts to fade once again. 33 people fell off the Top 50.

My Awesome_X alt fell off the leaderboard to make way for Acid enema. Figures. Well, while I enjoy a good testicle bet victory, it would somewhat demean it by having it on a match like this the day after Trainers/Fighters. It was probably for the best. --- Sack Up Or Shut Up™ |
From: -LusterSoldier- | #077 Not really. She drops a lot after the first hour because she's so ridiculously frontloaded, sure, but she's pretty balanced in everything from the first night vote to the end of the match. She doesn't have a lot of variance in her trends other than the fantastic early vote. --- http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2369/mythbattlers.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |

Eh,
this is a good sign for Link and a bad one for Cloud (if you want to
read a lot into it). Samus/Ridley isn't well regarded or even iconic,
and that will be apparent next round. Yet, they're winning easily over a
much more legit, much more NOT NINTENDO rivalry. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

strength has something to do with it. Rivalry factor can only do so much. At least Cloud and Sephiroth could outstrength Link and Ganondorf --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Rivalry Rumble: 65/76 Today: Samus/Ridley |
Anyway,
counting this one, there are 12 matches to go. Assuming we get zero
"current" upsets (like Frog over Alucard), how many of the 71 perfect
battlers do you expect to run the table? If it's more than 50, I
unfortunately won't see the Battle leaderboard despite having
(hopefully) gone perfect throughout the whole thing. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
lol Bosses > Fighters Unlikely to be the case if Samus loses to Trainers. Ryu's value remains the same while everyone in Samus division drops. --- "Ovelia ... SPOILERS IN THE KEYWORDS WOOPS" - Vormav |
From: TheCodeisBosco | #078 You rang? --- http://i.imgur.com/CbfFb.jpg |
I've
got the feeling the casuals who are still perfect in the battle
challenge are visiting board 8 each day to find out who the favorite is.
This is just getting ridiculous. I hope there's an upset and 99% of you
get wiped. --- Tofa7 - LoZ-LoD | Hardcore "Thank you, thank you, no applause necessary, just send money..." |
Aw, man :( Sorry dude Hey, don't feel sorry. I want to be alone here. My tiebreaker's too high, so an upset wiping out the perfects is the only way I can get a prize (short of picking an upset I don't believe.) so I had to bank to get some kind of edge. The less people with me, the better. --- "What's wrong with bootblacking? We like it very much!" This is Yesmar. |
Just looking at the top 50 I recognize a lot of people from board 8. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Rivalry Rumble: 65/76 Today: Samus/Ridley |
From: -Tofa7- | #093 You mean you hope Frog wins, although that won't wipe out 99% of em (maybe like 90%). Anyway, don't get mad at the predictors for going with the favorites. Blame the contest itself for being so predictable. --- Yoblazer: http://8board.webs.com/ariel.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Battle
Challenge is one big hivemind right now. If Frog/Magus somehow beat
Alucard/Dracula in a couple days, 90-95% of that leaderboard will be
erased. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
charmander6000 posted... Just looking at the top 50 I recognize a lot of people from board 8. Including me! YEAH no leaderboard for 7 years, then twice in one contest! Also Ex I am all over nifty fifties. You should rejoin UCA and that can be our tagteam name. Yo: I'm guessing 40 min, though you might see people with crappy tiebreakers making crazy upset picks to try and get ahead, so maybe less. I, on the other hand, am on the hunt for glorious perfection. --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
We
are a hivemind, but I'd like to hear some arguments for Frog/Magus to
sway me. CT has done nothing but disappoint since 2009, and I dropped
the ball by taking Frog/Magus in my bracket. I wouldn't have done it had
I not played the game a few months prior. Totally worth it, though. --- Yoblazer: http://8board.webs.com/ariel.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
