I was referring to the promise to close his account if Snake broke 43 in a match. That condition was met, but was not part of a bet.

Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick
your 7 time champion, Link.

Also in the X/Ryu/Draven match I thought all the people that thought Draven had a shot were crazy, X/Ryu are too well known and would grab too much support from any voters sent here...sadly everyone probably realizes that now and will pick Draven last in that match. Too bad, we might have seen some movement in the expert with people that actually had faith in Draven, but that won't happen now.


er........
I wouldn't be so sure about that
(I think I'll go X>Draven>Ryu in expert, lolnobracket)

you know who we never ever ever EVER need to see again?


There are actually a lot of applicable answers to this question.

I was going to guess Caim, personally...

I will give Groose some credit in that he's responsible for the most hilarious stats topic in a long, long time.

...but who keeps nominating Tingle I can't believe it keeps happening

Not sure which feeling is more dangerous.

Silent Hill fanboyism leading me to pick PH where I shouldn't, or being so down on myself because of Seifer that I think I'm gonna be wrong but I'm really not.

I'm kinda worried that Dragonborn isn't skyrocketing yet... I figured he'd need 50% in the board vote to have a good chance of looking respectable.

Tifa actually has a pretty decent board vote for an FFVII character.

I had this same idea during Ezio/Tails, and it was all wrong. If Dragonborn's anything like Ezio/Altair/etc, he's going to shoot up like crazy after the board vote.

Dragonborn probably won't even finish with 50% and if it does it might just barely get there. I don't think this thing is going to be passing Tifa even with Yuna in the match even though it's still really early!

The difference is that the Ezio/Tails freeze happened in less than a minute and Ezio didn't really go up too much after that second update.

that had a 1 minute freeze. Nook practically stalled out the 5th minute of this.

Ugh this division is pissing me off with Expert mode.

I picked Teemo > Palutena and meant to change it but forgot, picked Pyramid > Tom Nook, realized it was fanboy, then decided to swap them for expert but forgot. Oh I also missed the Samus match to start the division

Almost ready to bow out.

Yeah, I still expect he'll get 50% easily here given how WRPG characters do in the board vote, but thats still a pretty bad performance. I'm just hoping this is Nook being a lot stronger than he used to be.

Tom Nook is definitely stronger because of New Leaf and the site's trend into homogeneity.

Still never thought Dragonborn would be a threat to next match though
