Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1118

It will be fun to see Ryu brutalize Mega Man over night. I hope he's close enough by then to actually make a match of it.

Fingers crossed that X goes back up over 50% at the update. Ryu was starting to stall at the end there.

Ryu is doing quite well after a craptacular R1 performance. X, conversely, looked like a monster and I expected a more monstrous performance outta him. Ryu should have this very well into the 40s by the end.

Just anecdotal experience I can tell you that people know who Ryu is a lot more than Mega Man in my experience, even in the US. That may just be my luck or lack thereof, but they can at least recognize him as 'that guy from Street Fighter' as opposed to Mega Man who is just 'who' in a lot of situations.

Ryu would destroy these 2 on most sites, but this isn't most sites.

Doubt it, MMX is popular


Kinda, but Ryu is a gaming icon that even non gamers know of. Mega Man isn't on that level among mainstreamers.


literally lol


He's right though.

I always though X was around Near-Elite/High-Midcarder level.

Not "I would make Mega Man Classic my *****" level.

Nope, not down by nearly enough, X is safe. Ryu probably makes him look bad and possibly that he doesn't belong in the same discussion as MM, but safe enough.

MMX is lucky he's thrashing Ryu because I think Draven starting at something higher than 8% means he actually has a chance to do damage here if he gets his rally + stuff on

Ryu is already over what he scored on perhaps the worst Mega Man we've ever seen (2006). At least with this picture, X isn't performing on MM's level.

The stuffing countermeasures should weaken Draven somewhat, because I don't buy it was a totally legit "rally" at all. I'd still implore Allen to think harder about looking into stuffing than just being content with what they have.

Well, Draven definitely looks stronger now. Getting doubled by Ryu vs. ...What was his percentage against Chie at this point? >_>

Shepard takes down the last remaining -5 bracket (79 points). Prediction percentage is relatively consistant and floats around 60 for a long time. Contest knowledge didn't really hurt or help. Just about everyone who was trying did about as well as everyone else. The -8s (76 points) do really badly for some reason, though.

3 point penalties hurt. 28 people fell off the Top 49. ChenKenichiFan, Fr0zoN, RAMS, voltch, Xcarvenger, alblito, Crossfiyah, Denzokuken, dethfdddddh, Dr_Football, FFIXOwner, Hitagi, jkmill550, Jobi1, KateWilder, Kotetsu534, Nintendoboy375, PSU_Jer, Rex915, TeamRocketElite, yoyoyoyrlozer, _SecretSquirrel, AlecTrevylan006, ChronoT7, Clichokeet, creativename, DarkFalconX and frodragon did not have Shepard winning.

1 person got it wrong and survived. Former first place CarveyFAQs also did not have Shepard winning.
