why the hell was the freeze so bloody early?


You should have seen BayoNetta. We had the freeze in the first minute, before we even had a final tally on Alucard.

So rude geesh.


To be fair, you don't exactly come across as "polite and pleasant" in a lot of your posts, so it's pretty easy to see why he could perceive you being the way he did.


Far cry from being polite and being purposefully annoying. I mean when I talk about you on the Show that is purposefully annoying.

One of the perfects goes down and we lose a handful of -1s and -2s from this match. It would have been quite the disaster if Protoman pulled off the upset. Prediction percentage tanks quickly after the top tiers. While the -2s were over 80%, the -4s were only a little above 55% and there's a large drop to the -5s at 46%.

6 people fell off the Top 49. DeadlySyn, DiegoArmado, hawk533, Hump_A_Bird, Jarek and nesspoojeff did not have Ike winning.

1 person got it wrong and survived. Former first place adam_jannetta also did not have Ike winning.

LOL was about to say something similar.

Holy crap dude saw the leader board, you're 2nd. Congrats on your run so far!

So looks like our picks still have a shot at GlaDOS.


I swear if I lose my perfect to friggin Rachet winning I'm going to be so mad. Thanks though, didn't really expect to be perfect this far into the contest. Pretty much my 1st time seriously researching my picks.


Damn, the fall from Epona... <_<

Ratchet...meh I'll be losing points in that match for sure.

I know you don't, that's why it is fun to do it. I am giving you, as the kids say, "s***." It isn't meant to be like, spiteful or anything.

Well, of course. Everyone wants to see what Epona can do. Has anyone checked to see if 4chan's doing something for this match? I could see them going either way on this--they could rally for Epona because it's a freakin' horse, or they could rally against her because LoZAW.

lol. That was one heck of a board vote. Forget finishing at 50%, Epona might not even make it out of the Power Hour above 50%.
#177 | CrushDavis | Posted 7/24/2013 9:12:24 PM | message detail
Epona has already fallen below 50% updates in the Power Hour. This isn't going to end up anywhere near as impressive as it started.

Calling it right now Horse is being boosted by the Ike/Protoman "rally" Those vote totals are much too high.

Horse is going to straight up lose updates in the night. Putting the over/under at 43% for horse.

#183 | KamikazePotato | Posted 7/24/2013 9:13:52 PM | message detail
If Epona keeps dropping like this then Ike probably wins in Round 2. Epona is looking at an end result of Mordin breaking 40% on her, which is not that great.

Yeah, after Jak and Crash performed well, I began to worry. Rachet isn't quite as strong as either Jak or Crash though. We can only hope...

This looks good for my Oracle and my prospects next round. Nintendo has a history of doing poorly in LFF matches, and even if Ike gets completely trampled (judging by what happened today, it could happen), I think his presence is too beneficial to GlaDOS. Feeling good about the robot over the horse.

Well, I voted around 15 seconds in and we were already well over 100. It was insane.

So let's talk about a ridiculously crazy scenario here: What if Niko suffered an equivalent drop to what Tommy Vercetti had from 2003 to 2007? Where does that leave Mordin and Epona? I suspect that puts Epona at a level where she's considerably lower than Ike. And if so...what if GLaDOS is weaker than we thought (her performance wasn't exactly earthshattering) and Ike takes it? Think there's any chance of it happening?

There's always a chance of stuff happening, but I think the two nintendo characters would eat each other rather nicely. I don't know I came away with good thoughts about glados given she was able to put up a nice percentage on two random folk.

Ike can win next round without any sort of super crazy scenarios. Honestly if you were planning on LFF split for HORSE and Ike to let GLaDOS through I think that's a dumb move. HORSE has no Smash presence so there shouldn't really be that much LFF there.

Even if Epona drops to the mid-40s, Ike almost lost to Proto Man and occupies a spot on the Nintendo ladder lower than Epona (that's guaranteed). His last place is locked up.
