Guess one of the Expert Challenge leaders banked Jill/Kratos or took Kratos > Jill because I've moved up to a new high of 14th!


8th for me, up from 9th. Someone real high up goofed!


scaryice (former 8th, now 11th) only gained 9 points. Probably went Mega Man/bank/bank.

Link_VS_Cloud (former 12th, now 29th) didn't gain or lose points. Probably went Mega Man/Kratos/Jill.

No what happens is Zelda SFFing DK.

Well I don't know, in any other year. Now that DK has been on the resurgence while Zelda is at its least popular, lol.

I don't see any WCC rallies on Reddit or 4chan, so I guess this is a case of natural trends at work.

WCC is tearing up the percentage and can still potentially catch rallies. If he actually does this, Portal will have more characters in the Top 27 than Mario or Zelda.

So, that whole upset never came close to materializing. Either Final Fantasy really is doing that awfully in general (in which case, LOL Mario for losing to Vivi) or Mega Man series is back on the rise (which is scary as hell because it means that Draven absolutely slaughtered a very strong entrant).

I'm pretty sure innate strength is completely irrelevant with Draven

MMX already showed he was a strong entrant, he finished the match with 57% on Ryu (just below what he was getting before the rallies kicked in, which makes sense given it was a night match), that places him above everyone outside the noble nine

WCC round 1 performance was..terrible
But after this stupid round im paranoid and I feel like a crazy upset can come from every damn match
Like..some sort of 400 comments mega rally in /v/

But I believe this is just me having an extreme paranoia,I even thought Jill could pull a miracle this match


I don't know why people think /v/ would have anything to do with companion cube or missingno, those are reddit level "jokes". /v/ rallies results that make people double take in confusion or seethe with anger, not understandable mainstream jokes that everyone and their dog could understand the appeal in and why they won.
Things have probably changed there in the last 3 years, but /v/ definitely backed Missingno. in 2010.

Auron loses to a Tetris block, Tidus loses to a glitch, Yuna loses to two sandbags, and Rikku loses to a cube.

I get the feeling that Jecht wouldn't put up with any of this s***.

Why the **** is Zero and MM in the same division yet Every single pokemon avoided each other?

This is the problem I have with Allen. Seeding is abysmal. Do it randomly at first but then shift people apart. If you want to have 10 pokemon....have 10 pokemon, but put them in 2-3 divisions so they meet and knock each other out.

Vivi beating Mario wasn't even that big of a deal, Vivi is a much better character than Mario. It's Mario's fault for being so damn pathetic. The terrible results have Banana Rat>Crono and Crapblock>Auron.

And the last good thing remains in this contest. Snake's path to Victory. He's the only guy left that can and will topple Draven.

This raises the question-why is ? Block is so much weaker tha WCC?
Mario fanbase is by far bigger than Portal,and the ? Block is like..in all Mario games
Not like I expect it to be stronger than L-Block,but being stronger than WCC sounds about right

Unless people really like WCC...but im not sure why. I played Portal and never felt some sort of..relationship with it..despite GlaDOS claims
Maybe the popularity of WCC came from the fact it became a meme?
Which raise another question...can Portal's Cake beat WCC?

I don't think you should compare inanimate objects logically like that. Squall isn't going to have a 53/47 match with Tidus and Rikku isn't going to have a 55-45 match with Claptrap

Trainer Blue isn't a pokemon, neither is Red. So i'll let this slip by.

Mewtwo, Pikachu, Charizard, Jigglypuff, Squirtle and Missingno all were in separate Divisions. Only Magikarp was grouped in with Charizard and Lugia/Squirtle. Missingno thankfully was taken out by Squall.

Once Fox starts to get some bloody games he'll Stomp midcard fodder like Trainer Blue. I've said this many times but Fox has the potential to be a top tier Nintendo character...but Nintendo don't give a **** about him. He only has popularity due to smash and Starfox 64.

Doesn't seem likely since it's Rikku staying just ahead of Cube instead of the other way around. Both are trailing Zero by a lot and there's not much incentive to rally for second place.

That's exactly it though. Smash Bros. and Star Fox 64 (specifically) are all that Fox is known for. Rarely do you ever see someone mention Assault or Command.

As for games, SF64 3D was a worthy remake. One that I didn't buy due to the lack of online play and also having beaten the original, but still.

Brackets need to be more balanced. if you have 10 pokemon from 1 gen in the contest put more in against each other.

yeah but that's no way near enough. He needs a game a gen,a great game. If he had Starfx 64 calibur games for GC, Wii and some top quality handhelds...he would be up there around Kirby level. Probably stronger.

Or maybe Pokemon haters vote for Zero so Charizard can advance next round and then he will have to face Red and due to heavy leech they will let Samus into the finals instead of Charizard!!

TBH it doesn't matter anyway,I don't think Mega Man can beat Samus,but if the title of "Winner of the division" is so important,then yes that's a real shame

the problem is you have crap like Crono/Magus and MM/Zero, yet every Pokemon avoided those situations except for late in the contest.

There's no excuse for garbage like Crono/Magus or MM/Zero. The Pokemon should be spread out too, but so should everybody else. This bracket was massively rigged for Pokemon and everybody knows it.
