I see a rally for Crash on /v/. I figured they'd care more about Portal.

It's because Albion is a bad troll and always will be.

/v/ hates portal for being one of the reason memes are so mainstream (and less good) nowadays.

Wow I was not expecting Vercetti to be this awful.

I hope Wheatley pulls off a victory due to him being one of the few characters whose dialogue I enjoyed hearing.

I feel wheatley is the better character, but I have crash in my bracket. Not sure who to vote for haha <_<

I like Wheatley better, but after arguing so much for Crash here, I almost felt obligated to vote for the guy.

btw, this means very little for GlaDOS. Wheatley was never going to be anywhere near her. If anything, I'd expect her to be stronger than last time. Phoenix Wright seems to be, and those characters share quite a few similarities.

Well, GlaDOS's path depends on Ike/Epona anyway. She's not beating either one of them 1-on-1, I think, but she can squeak past the two LFFing each other.

Well at least I got this division perfect. Go crash.

If the rest of the perfects picked Wheatley at the same rate as the gurus, I might be on the leaderboard come noon tomorrow, if Crash can keep this up. Feels good man.

Well, now that things have settled down a bit, I think I can post the trend chart from the day match:

Time | Kirby | Terra | Peach | Votes
0:05 | 46.69% | 41.01% | 12.30% | 756
1:00 | 46.41% | 37.10% | 16.49% | 4967
2:00 | 47.30% | 36.88% | 15.83% | 3848
3:00 | 47.13% | 36.13% | 16.75% | 3374
4:00 | 47.73% | 35.88% | 16.38% | 3046
5:00 | 45.95% | 37.43% | 16.61% | 2805
6:00 | 46.79% | 34.74% | 18.46% | 2605
7:00 | 46.17% | 36.70% | 17.13% | 2376
8:00 | 45.25% | 37.27% | 17.47% | 2106
9:00 | 44.84% | 37.08% | 18.09% | 1985
10:00 | 45.72% | 36.64% | 17.64% | 1927
11:00 | 45.84% | 36.41% | 17.75% | 1865
12:00 | 46.35% | 35.93% | 17.72% | 1631

Kirby does well early and surprisingly, it's Peach who does well late. Terra is also surprisingly consistent throughout despite it being a day match.

X-Stats:

Kirby – 50.00%
Terra Branford – 44.04%
Princess Peach Toadstool – 26.80%

Kirby's prediction percentage was 70.62%

What was the rate of guru picks for Wheatley? Like 40%, right?
#136 | LeonhartFour | Posted 7/21/2013 10:06:55 PM | message detail
Wheatley has like 70% in the Guru.

Probably gonna be another day where the casuals outdo the board. I have a feeling Crash is the overall fave here.

I dunno. This feels like a match that could have a dead even split. I could see arguments for the casuals favoring any of these dudes.
#139 | hawk533 | Posted 7/21/2013 10:12:02 PM | message detail
So we might be down to less than 20 perfect brackets after this match.

I fully expect to be at -2 after the Ike v Protoman match. Yay for picking Protoman! Unless we're seeing a big nostalgia boost this contest.

OK this is interesting
I did not expect to lose my perfect bracket here

I hate Portal fans with passion,not only do they overrate their game (THE CAKE IS A LIE XD!!!!!) but also got the nerve to make 2 of the only 4 characters in the series weak
This Wheatly is so pathetic I wish we would have gotten Cave Johnson instead
#141 | ChenKenichiFan | Posted 7/21/2013 10:15:22 PM | message detail
Huh... after this match, unless Captain Falcon and N decide to ride Nintendo power to lengths it is rarely ridden, we've got nothing of interest until that big (lol) Otacon/Magus match. That's ten days of routine with potentially nothing to spicen things up. This is probably gonna be the longest down period of the contest (hopefully).

We're gonna get Mordin>Epona and the Zack/Kefka/Hayabusa battle before then. It's not gonna be so bad, yo.

Actually, count Zidane/Ridley in there too. I think Zidane has it but we could see a shocker. And we also have Yu/Shadow, if we assume Yu is considerably stronger than Chie (wouldn't be the craziest thing we've seen).

Ridley winning that match would surprise me. Ridley's not on Ike's level, and I know everyone assumes Square in general has dropped, but Nintendo's probably not at the same level it was in 2010 either.

I'm actually not assuming Square has dropped. Terra performed precisely to expectations if you adjust her for SFF, IIRC. I just think Ridley might surprise people because...I don't know. Call it a gut feeling that he won't be completely ass like he was pre-2010, even if he won't be as good as that implies either.

Sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of new games!

(Incidentally, we can now have two different Alucards on the bracket. I kinda wanna put to the test how good the new one would be)
#150 | KanzarisKelshen | Posted 7/21/2013 10:39:39 PM | message detail
Oh yeah, and if you think that doesn't apply, Harmony of Despair 100% counts. Alucard has every reason to stay constant or boost, Falcon has every reason to drop unless Smash comes in for the save.
