Also just saw TRE's stats. Lots of brackets got Vincent wrong. Did casuals have that much faith in KOS-MOS? Interesting.

What game is Chester from anyway? I tried googling to find the Wiki for his game, but his since game's name is apparently "Chester", that didn't work.

Sooo...anyone think we'll see a character even weaker than Chester the rest of the contest? I was thinking Caim might be the floor but since that was only *two* days ago, clearly I was wrong and this massive field is loaded with complete unknowns, who don't even have good pics or cool names to fall back on.

Also I love how these matches aren't even the character vs. his opponents. They are ALL pretty much X vs. Tanner and no one cares about the rest.

I actually thought Zero would get near 20% just from having the same name as the other Zero. On the other hand, if his name wasn't Zero than he'd probably have less than 10%.

So, how strong is Mewtwo supposed to be anyway? This match doesn't really give an idea because he's up against Mr. Fodder and Sir. Turbofodder Ultra but well..

I don't think he's Charizard tier but he must be up there.

Not bad, already at 81.5%, could make it to 82-83% by the end of the match. Shows that it's still possible to score a huge blowout even in this format.

3.95% is the mark to watch, guys. The lowest scoring game EVER got 3.96% (by extension that was the worst scoring entrant). If Chester gets to 3.95% and holds steady, he'll break all records!

It's been hard to get a good read on him. Sometimes he looks like a good midcarder and other times he pulls this: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3287.

#338 | xp1337 | Posted 7/15/2013 11:46:01 PM | message detail
That's going to be really hard to reach.

I'm pretty sure Chester actually gained percentage on an 8 vote update. Against Mewtwo he definitely did, but I think he also just flatout gained percentage in the match. The low votals in the deadzone can work both ways here so long as Chester is getting virtually anything.

Who else is considering at least a partial bank for tomorrow? I'll stick with Boss as the winner, but it's hard for me to pick sides between Heavy and Chrom. The jRPG lead might seem like an easy choice, but let's not forget that TF2 went free-to-play since the last contest and is still one of the most popular online games around (it STILL is one of the most popular online games around, right?).

I'm picking Heavy there since he's the most recognizable character in the poll while Chrom is the least.

Unfortunately I had Chester beating Zero in the expert challenge so no points for this match. Lol.

Just after I said I really didn't think Chester could fall much more he immediately drops to 3.9% in 2 updates.

After holding at around 7-8 votes per update a for a while we get a 2 and a 3 vote update back-to-back.

Tharja's performance gives me some hope for Chrom beating Heavy, especially since Tharja beat Tiny Tina herself. Plus I have a feeling that Boss will sap some of Heavy's 'mature' votes.

I know a lot of people who have never played TF2 yet love the characters to death. Heavy/Chrom might be closer than we think.
