GameFAQs Contests

Just thought I'd mention they added a little graph to the bottom of the leaderboard page showing how many people have what scores. It is a bit more difficult to interpret then in previous years, and I still can't find anything about how many people got each match correct, but it is a start at least.

If you click on the left button, it switches between expert/bracket/num correct. So with 15,254 total brackets, that means:

97.59% - Link
75.27% - Raiden
83.77% - Yoshi

Here's what I'm worried about in regards to Tina: The Tina-focused DLC came out just a week or two ago. And it's good, and Tina isn't terrible in it. She actually has something sort of closing in on depth in it. Maybe this could tip things into her favor.

You think this is over because I am dead. It's not over. The games have just begun.

Ryu will win his match, right?

Ah, nice find.

When it comes to very weak fodders, the standout factor is going to matter greatly imo. Because of their strengths, there's probably a lot more apathetic voters to go around.

Siding with Juliet here.

Day vote is favoring Shepard.

Kind of weird to think this is our first contest to track day trends when there's no ASV and having a start time of midnight.

Uh, this is a day match, so it starts at 12:00 PM. But most of our matches will take place without any ASV in effect. The last several days of 12-hour matches will take place when we are getting back to normal ASV trends again. We'll be back to normal ASV trends by the time we get into the 24-hour matches.

SF Ryu will win round 1. Hayabusa... has a shot.

You mentioned something earlier about Shepard having a day vote in this match, so you were clearly referring to this match.

I've decided to bank on all 3 positions in Tharja/Juliet/Tina.

Sticking with my 24 points.

Probably a wise idea. People are arguing that you could go up to 30 points, but if Tina ends up getting first, most people are probably going to be moving back down to 18-20.

I'd rather be conservative in the early rounds and then gamble later on when big points actually matter and when you really need to gamble to win.

I know I will definitely pick Tina in last place. I can't see an NPC character who gets most of her strength from a DLC pack having any chance of getting 2nd or 1st place. This becomes worse when there are lot of Borderlands fans that don't even like Tiny Tina.

Here's an interesting topic from the FE:A board:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/643003-fire-emblem-awakening/66688743

I don't know those poll results are good or bad. Obviously with the topic being on an FE board, the results are going to be biased towards Tharja. But those voting for "No" are going to be splitting their votes between Juliet and Tiny Tina in the match.

The page for my bracket says "Prize Entry" and "Complete," but when I click Share This Bracket it says "Fun Entry" and "Incomplete."

I'm not really sure what I'm missing. It looks like I made a pick for each battle.

All of the "cb9_code" pages will say "Fun Entry" and "Incomplete", so don't worry about that.

So I have a power outage in my area and am chilling at the local library, which still has power and closes in half an hour. So I have 30 minutes to agonize over keeping my current expert pick (Tharja>Juliet>Tina) or banking all 3. I'm not even confident in Tina losing it anymore. And I probably won't even find out anything about this match until after it's over. Great...

I have Tharja in my bracket, but switched to Juliet in the Expert Challenge due to the match pic.

Feels really cheap that this match will be decided by the stupid pic. I was hoping that Tharja would get her pic from that censored DLC.

Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave.

this is the first time one of my match pics has caused people to change/worry about their picks

I feel kinda bad I threw off the status quo but at least it's even funner than before

We're you one of the pic-smith who add pokemons in the trainers match in RR or was it Yo.

Speaking of Yo, is Glorious sweater is new account name that he talked about in the Show's episode?
---
Congratulation to SuperNiceDog. Guru Champ and Rivalry Rumble Master

I didn't make many pics for RR cuz the contest was boring, and Yo made a lot cuz he was just learning how

so probably Yo

and yes he is now GloriousSweater

MAYBE. It's great Allen gave Chester a shot by putting him against the second-weakest in the bracket. At this point it may come down to pic factor, and RPGLord apparently made "the best Chester pic ever" but he won't share it with us
