It's been a great match, I like chocobos and I have Kratos in my expert so I win either way.

Jill won fairly easily but there were still some people who picked against her in the top tiers and more as you go down. -10 (64 points) and better stay above 90. It slowly declines into the 60s for a long time before disappearing at the bottom tiers.

3 people fell off the Top 49. BlAcK_TuRtLe, Bran_Stark and MZero11 did not have Jill winning.

If you think Crono = Squall, then 40.5% maybe. That's not accounting for a possible MGSV hype boost.

We haven't had a read on Crono since 2008 who was about equal to Vincent who was about equal with Squall.

We don't really know, he performed worse on Kerrigan than Vincent did in 2005, but Kerrigan got Starcraft II since then.

Seriously why is this even close Kratos is decisively winning the US and Canada I figured this would be over as soon as Europe's huge favor to Boko went to bed

as decisively as a sub-1% margin can be, yes
(I know it's only <1% because Zero is eating up everything, but still)
#333 | Lopen | Posted 8/15/2013 4:52:19 PM | message detail
Well he's winning by like 5% in Canada. I figured the combo of those two would have Kratos putting this away pretty easily by now

And of course, right when I say that.

Boko's highest lead was 152 votes, and he hasn't lost the lead yet. It'd be hilarious if Kratos never takes the lead the entire match.

Zero squashes the chocobo and the Tails character, who engage in one of the most boring incredibly close matches I've ever seen. Boko pushed out to an early lead of over 100 votes and has just gradually floated down to Kratos A over the next 7 hours.

Round 1, Match 77

(5) Lenneth Valkyrie
(14) Claptrap
(23) Weighted Companion Cube

Bit of a silly match here. Lenneth Valkyrie as a 5-seed against two western jokes. The Cube managed to beat The Boss and she got over 40% on much stronger competition, so I'd guess it can push for over 50% here. Claptrap managed to avoid getting doubled by Zidane while Lenneth got tripled by Rikku way back in her only appearance, so I suppose you should back Claptrap.

But I'm throwing my chips on Lenneth. Claptrap is pretty pathetic, and I think he'll be hurt by sharing space with the Cube, while Lenneth stands out both in terms of fanbase and picture. Only a couple more of these to go, thank goodness.

Bracket: Cube
Expert: Cube > Lenneth > Claptrap
Oracle: Weighted Companion Cube - 52.5%; Lenneth Valkyrie - 24.5%; Claptrap - 23%
