I would say Pikachu looks impressive here, but with Big Daddy being so lousy, I'm not sure

DID PIKACHU JUST GO UP?

HOW?


Board 8 loves its Tales of Symphonia


So? He gained only .01% less than Big Daddy did.

brb switching my expert to gilgamesh

from a no pick for me

but of course with this division Booker will win anyway


Yeah, I no picked the match a while ago, after seeing old Final Fantasy looking awesome and new games looking like garbage.

Also, I have a feeling some guy who no picks the whole division is going to come out looking awesome. >__>

Lloyd with the board vote, ha.

This is gonna be a hard match to gauge Pikachu on (using Big Daddy at all he'll do something like 60-40 Crono and Magus combined), but Fox v Lloyd 2010 should be a good barometer. He's a decent bit above that mark so far.

Here's some bonus info. Not a single person on the Expert Challenge Top 49 gained or lost a single point. Not a single person on the Expert Challenge Top 49 fell off. Devin Morgan got 6 points on the match, though.

Augh if I just took Missile I'd have made it on! Again.

This division will drive me insane. And by the end of it I'll be ruined because I'll eventually just start taking crazy picks like I always do. Meltdown imminent. >_>

Hard to believe Pikachu could possibly turn around that doubling he got in 2003.

Even harder to believe he's not the only guy who got doubled in 2003 who could manage that (Sora/Aerith)!

In hindsight it's not that surprising to see Big Daddy drop a lot in strength. He seems like he would be a very "in the now" character and he's old news not even in the newest BioShock,

Turning around that defeat to Fox isn't that impressive (believe it or not, Crono and Fox are still in different leagues), but if he can stay above Fox's high water mark that's a little better than I pegged him, so I'll have to give him a bit more grudging respect.

Oh, I'm not saying this means Pikachu's a Crono killer. Like I said last night, Fox is probably middle of the midcard, the very definition of "average."

And I said before this match that I'd be kind of scared if Pikachu could manage 55%+ but that was with the assumption that Big Daddy wouldn't be weaker than Lloyd this year.

He went down 2% after the freeze!

In fact, he's still lower than where he was at the freeze!

Otacon bombing that badly isn't actually possible, that belies a lack of knowledge of the MGS games.

I mean, he's not worth much, but you might as well take Jade > Liquid at that point.

So uh....

Elizabeth = Big Daddy is no longer looking so good for Liz!

2010 Thrall actually has her looking weaker than 2010 Big Daddy! And if Thrall's moved, it probably wasn't upwards.

I don't think there can be any doubt at this point that Tifa was being punished in that match for Sephiroth beating MissingNo.

Well, this blows. At least last match, I had a feeling Kerrigan would blow 2nd place against Missile. I had no idea with this match that Lloyd would be wiping the floor early on with Big Daddy.

Also, Pikachu is gonna be wiping the floor with Crono come next round. Getting 53% against these two chumps beats out 63% against Kerrigan and a dog that won 2nd place solely on his cuteness.

...you really think Pikachu is above Crono when he's fighting tooth and nail to stay above what Fox scored on Lloyd last contest? You might as well put Crono below half the field.

Or, far more reasonable, Big Daddy's strength has plummeted because as someone summed up earlier - he's a very "in the now" character. He had his shining moment and is no longer relevant to his own franchise, so, floppidity flop flop.
