Shadow Hearts is super niche. Not many people have played it.

And then there were 4. For three straight matches we've lost exactly 1 perfect per match. Once again a pretty easy match and once again the overall prediction percentage tanks after you get further than around 3 points away from perfect. The middle tiers had a lot more trouble with the match, although they still favour Altair. we have less than 49 brackets that are 1 off perfect or better so those that are two off perfect and lucky enough to have a username early in the alphabet are starting to show up. For those with a name later in the alphabet, I hear you can get a username change if you buy a GameFAQs shirt...

6 people fell off the Top 49. adam_jannetta, BakusaiTenketsu, BlackMetalex, Bran_Stark, Oxus_the_Smoove and raginbull911 did not have Altair winning.

1 person got it wrong but survived. VincentLauw also did not have Altair winning.

Oh SuperNiceDog's doing it again dude.
SuperNiceDog, you ain't no pimp dude

Eh. Lara is probably significantly stronger here than in 2004, but assuming it's constant, Yuri is already winning by <1% on Tanner and in danger of being the second guy this contest to drop below him.

Goomba would be winning this match right now!

We really need to get Goomba into the next Character Battle after this one. Slime's performance is definitely a good sign for Goomba.

It's still incredibly unlikely he'll ever be able to win a match.

We already have stronger niche RPG characters like Laharl taking spots every year.

If this was a 128 character bracket I'd agree, but with 200 some characters there's a spot for Yuri.

At 243 characters I blame their fans, based on the amount of nominations it means they couldn't get 10-15 people to support a character.

Both were low seeds and required the vote-ins to make it, now Soap and Captain Price went from a 3 and 4 seed to failing to reach the bracket, now that's impressive (even if he would likely be weaker now)

Joke/Rallied characters don't follow strengths, let's say MMX gets 15k and Draven 2k votes in a normal match, Draven would need 13k to win which based on his peak performance is something he is capable of doing.

Let's assume something like 10% for Draven, 40% for Ryu, and 50% for MMX in this match without any rallied votes. Assuming 30000 votes normally, the results would look like this:

Draven 10% 3000
Ryu 40% 12000
Mega Man X 50% 15000
TOTAL VOTES 30000

Draven got about 10000 rallied votes in his round 1 match. Let's add 10000 rallied votes to Draven's current vote total and now the results look like this:

Draven 32.50% 13000
Ryu 30.00% 12000
Mega Man X 37.50% 15000
TOTAL VOTES 40000

You can see that Draven was able to overtake Ryu with 10000 rallied votes, but he still falls about 3000 votes short of MMX. If the LoL community can produce an even bigger rally in Draven's next match, he could overtake MMX as well.

Rallied votes don't go 100% to the rallied character. With MMX and Ryu in the poll I'd be surprised if more than, say, 60% of them actually went to Draven.

But now you are assuming that LoL fans are blind zombies that will vote for Draven against anything
There is one thing voting Draven over Jak and Chie and totally different thing voting him over two iconic characters
I voted Draven first round because who the **** are Jak and Chie
But voting him over X? lol
I would sooner vote Ryu and I don't care about Street Fighter

It's not so much that LoL fans are blind zombies as Draven is intended to act as a proxy for League of Legends. By voting for Draven, its fans are saying 'LoL is one of my favorite games. So much so, I'd say it's a better experience than the Megaman X and Street Fighter series'. That's the theory behind it, at least. We'll have to see if it pans out or not.

If there were justice in this world, Yuri would be up there with Squall and Vincent (well, old Vincent) for character strength. Alas...
