But he was facing Mewtwo and Zero.And it doesn't matter if you know little or a lot about video games,you know who Mewtwo is and you don't know who Chester and Zero are.

That is a good point. But he was up against Mewtwo, who was the obvious favorite. There isn't quite one here. Has it ever been checked out, by the way, if bracket votes affect day matches more than night matches? It would make sense. I assume most bracket-makers are from America, which gets a much higher percentage in day polls. I know it can't actually be tracked because there is no way to tell precisely how many bracket votes there are, but there are ways to guess where the discrepancies come from.
#204 | charmander6000 | Posted 7/29/2013 7:40:50 AM | message detail
Still when you are making your bracket you are much more likely to have heard Final Fantasy or Metroid than Mystic Ninja.

As for bracket votes I feel they vote in both matches at the same rate, if you are so crazy to bracket vote then you are probably voting in as many matches as possible.

#205 | TsunamiXXVIII | Posted 7/29/2013 7:41:27 AM | message detail
So how's this for a lopsided percentage? Doing the geolocation stats on Dante/Laharl/Raz, and Dante got 94.74% in Egypt. While 100% isn't uncommon for some of these countries that only produce one or two votes, a non-100 percentage that high is impressive. I mean, Snake only managed 94.30% in that infamous match against Tanner, although Legend of Zelda was able to break 95% against Adventure.

(In case you were wondering, an assumption of fewest possible votes would suggest that 19 votes came out of Egypt, 18 of them for Dante and 1 for Laharl.)

Is Zidane really the clear favorite? I took Ridley in the bracket and expert but changed to Zidane because the board and gurus favor him

All I keep thinking is that Crono beat Zidane worse than Cloud beat Ridley and where on Earth does CT/FF9 SFF come from.

Granted. But Crono was never anywhere near as strong as Cloud. You need the anti-votes/Cloud drop/Dissidia boost to make up a ton of ground there.
