looks like Cloud will end up with 61-62%

not impressive at all, but expected I guess
---
...

Cloud path is boring. He'll win his division one way or another, then inevitably lose to Snake(barring some wacky Kefka sprite round shenanigans) and/or Pikachu

The FF7 falling off should be more concerned with the debatable matches, like Shepard/Aerith or Sonic/Vincent/Bowser
---
F*** BT

Kefka winning his match and presumably the next one has interesting implications in a sprite round, but there's pretty much no chance in hell... I mean Solid **** vs. Laughing Kefka gif...

Still smilin'

I'm sure there's someone crazy out there now thinking Frog might possibly hurt Cloud enough for Lugia to win R2.

Cloud probably ends up with 66% or something, but that's not really a good result. These guys are weak.
---
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

nice update
---
...

No idea where it's from but how could you not vote for that damn Penguin??

This kind of performance against a very weak fodder known as prinny, lol Cloud.

I'd say Cloud probably ends up finishing between 62-64%.

Or Squirtle, who will be way stronger than Lugia.

Not that I'm saying it.

I expected a disaster for the top tiers but I think this is worse than I thought it would be. One perfect bracket manages to survive. isNotPerfect now has the only remaining perfect bracket. Less than 5% of the -1s (34 points) got the match correct. 41/43 got it wrong. The prediction percentage rises quickly as you go down each tier before leveling off at around 60%. This is the reverse of what we normally see happen to the prediction percentage and also means the damage Kefka did was largely limited to the top tiers.Finally, congrats to the 0 brackets for having the highest prediction percentage. Over 80 is pretty good except for the fact that they were trying to get it wrong. Just 1 0 bracket is left standing as well.

14 people fell off the Top 49. Nintendoboy375, Prankster928, ramprevs, SBAllen, Spikedross, Squirrelgate, startme_up, TeamRocketElite, t_kizzle, Xcarvenger, YetAnothrShadow, Yleffl, Abuses_J00 and Ace_Bernstein did not have Kefka winning the match. I didn't last very long on the leaderboard. I'll be back, though!

32 people got the match wrong but survived because they have a name earlier in the alphabet than me (or have a higher score). Former first place Blairville, Former second place Fr0zoN, NLMagic, -LusterSoldier-, AAAMitsugi, Advokaiser, Bane_Of_Despair, BlAcK_TuRtLe, CarveyFAQs, ChronoT7, Colegreen_c12, CubsFan2126, DarkFalconX, davidponte, eliteking727, Gandalfsam, GoldSlime35, Hagankefs, hellfire104, Hitagi, Honedge, iGenesis, JaySolano, jkmill550, KamikazePotato, KanzarisKelshen, Kumatora, lightsout06, LinkMarioSamus, Lizcious, Luis_Sera89 and MrDew also did not have Kefka winning.

3 people on the Top 49 got the match right. Congrats to current first place and last remaining perfect isNotPerfect, scolletti105 and VincentLauw on siding with Kefka!

I guess Prinny is just goofy medium fodder standing out against two more "mature" PS characters...?

I'll see if the servant can totally keep 29% on Cloud (unlikely but possible).

Cloud over 61% already. He should be over 62% before the end of this hour, which puts him in a very good position to reach 65%.

I'm surprised that Squirtle isn't the favorite, although I suppose the realistic possibility of another Nintendo character (Ridley) scared some people off. Every time, Dante chokes away the debated match, and every time, people support him yet again.

over 62% by the end of 30 minutes?

God damn, Cloud is exploding. Looks like I may have lowballed him with my 65% prediction. He can end up 1 or even 2% above it.

Nice to see Cloud rebounding a bit here. He's overperformed my personal expectation, at least. He might still have the overall power to be a force in this contest, he'll just be working from behind due to his awful early vote.
