My main bracket still looking good.

This match for Expert will just give me 0 points, which isn't bad, but I already screwed up on Tingle. : \

UGH! I knew I should've just completely banked instead of relying on Juliet's pic advantage to still pick Tina as 3rd.

I wussed out at last minute and only risked one point and it's on Tina taking last place.

Turns out I wussed out and made a wrong pick. Oops.

12:00 | 54.46% | 30.36% | 15.18% | 1818

Shepard doesn't continue the trend of the winner's last hour being the strongest, but he gets the next to last hour. Not a lot of fluctuation here overall though. The difference between everyone's best hour and worst hour was around 2% or less.

X-Stats:

Commander Shepard – 50.00%
Captain Olimar – 35.33%
Kain – 23.38%

#478 | UltimaterializerX | Posted 7/10/2013 9:22:47 PM | message detail
Not to sound conceited, but I never understood why people thought Tharja was going to lose. This site is still JRPG Central, especially when a gigantic series that everyone loves like Fire Emblem is involved. As much as western gaming has advanced compared to the Japanese counterparts, that never has or will translate to character strength in character battles on this site, unless the "gamer nerds" also hop on board like they did with Mass Effect or Portal. No one cared about Lollipop Chainsaw for more than 5 minutes. I waffled on this match a lot, but it was for 2nd/3rd place due to Borderlands 2 winning GOTY, never 1st place. Never a doubt in my mind Tharja would win this.

Oh, and this exact logic is why I picked Catherine to win her match. "Gamer nerds" cared WAY WAY WAY MORE about Catherine than TWEWY.

The vote map tends to be glitchy for about 2 to 3 minutes after it updates, where it will sometimes show an outdated map.

Juliet simply had almost nothing to bring into this match apart from her design, and her design advantage is very heavily neutralized in a match with two other females. I didn't gauge Tina correctly, but at least it means I can gain three points later from picking Face McShooty over Yuri. Had that one banked until just now.
