yeah if X is going to keep rising to, say, 63.5%, I'd be very impressed. Jigglypuff is Pokemon and Smash, there's only so weak she can be even if she's a half-joke

This looks kinda impressive for X, but that depends on how bad Welkin actually is.

doubling Jigglypuff is impressive to me regardless


Jigglypuff vs. Yuri WHO YA GOT!

That's because they're 99% the same character. You might as well put Dark Link in the contest too.

I can honestly say I've never heard of this Welkin guy before today.

I don't even remember seeing his name when I filled out my bracket.


That's not a good thing. Play Valkyria Chronicles!

Score-Brackets-% Right
7--------1376------87.50
6--------3795------81.05
5--------4874------86.21
4--------3184------82.16
3--------1464------75.00
2--------429--------63.40
1--------105--------41.90
0--------27----------18.52

Top scorers do best but we're still losing quite a few brackets on easy matches. Probably not too much longer until we get over 90% of the perfects surviving a match.

6 people fell off the Top 49. 22keep, Abyssus_Etiam, Airbloc, Aka76877035, AllstarJason and AllStar_09 did not have Ryu winning.

I'd say this performance gives Ryu almost no chance beat MMX. Jigglypuff is definitely stronger than Yuri, although Welkin is weaker than Face McShooty.

Both the main guy and two main girls, along with Selvaria, are in the game.

And that was my point. If he was in the game, instead of them, he could at least benefit from that.

Why do we assume Jigglypuff is any good? She's a seventh tier Pokemon and fifth tier smasher. There's a reason she's never been in a contest yet. She's Lucas from before Lucas existed.
#278 | Sorozone | Posted 7/12/2013 9:13:56 PM | message detail
I just don't see Jigglypuff being that strong. It's popularity comes from Japan.

Yeah she's in Smash, but that doesn't necessarily mean much.

I wouldn't. In fact, if you put Jiggs in Draven's place I'd take Jak to beat her with margin. That's how bad she is, I feel.

I'm not saying Jigglypuff is strong, necessarily, but that she has to have at least a little bit of strength. as said above, she's obviously stronger than Yuri = her 'floor' is probably beating him, what, 60-40?

I'd be curious to see how Crono/X would go now

Lack of nomination support is a poor reason to use to knock a Pokemon's strength. In general, Pokemon get lousy nomination support. Even post-Brawl Charizard failed to make CB7. If a Pokemon as strong as Charizard had trouble, Jigglypuff was never going to get in with a nomination rally or a massively increase bracket size.

Jigglypuff just needs to compare favourably to Yuri Lowell to make X look good for beating Ryu. She doesn't need anything resembling strength to pull that off.

Crono/X - night match or day match?

I'd take X in a day or 24 hour match. Crono isn't himself anymore, even if he is still up there in strength he isn't top tier, sadly.

I could see him winning a night match though. Mega Man does bad in Europe right?

I think Lucario in '08 might be a decent comparison for Jigglypuff, though 'puff might be a bit stronger from being from RBY.

Probably not that far off from Yuri, and Welkin seems to be terrible. Not sure this match changes too much, though being able to draw 60+% in this contest probably means the most.
