So if (big, major if) this number holds then Mega Man is our clear #2 now, right? There's no way Snake could do this to Samus. We should at least wait until that massive board vote wears off before learning too much from this though.

I fully expect Red to fall off after the board vote. No clue what's going to happen with the other two.

yeah but it's a Dravenfest, those are never trustworthy (ESPECIALLY with reddit's Europe-leaning tendencies!)

Obvious that Mega Man wasn't going to fall much. He has gained from the board vote in every match this contest even vs Kratos and Jill..... Now he has a band wagon so he fell a bit but it was made up for by his normally meh board vote.

#396 | Team Rocket Elite (Moderator) | Posted 9/12/2013 9:17:07 PM | message detail
The one that do best here are the high, but not top, tier brackets. Only 33 out of the top 109 brackets get it right. In contrast to this, 506 of the 1064 bracket just below them side with Snake. That's an increase from round 30% to just under 50%. From the prediction percentage falls off quite a bit again. Top score is now 84 points off perfect.

38 people fell off the Top 49. Former second place Ichigo619, former third place BowtotheTWIG, masterplum, CORNBRE4D, kenrmcha, bensenm, Crimson_Rain, AdisEvil, Hump_A_Bird, Mr_Xnpio, PyroticJack, Flock_Masta_P, salexpie, steelesaber13, GamerExtreme98, 1benjy, Kadabra025, Gladiator28, kinsho3, yodawgyo, BigGameKingJame, dranen87, Gameman54, reddevils5000, Amyson, Deoxys_Prime, demphra, edwardsharpe, FlameLord23, hoangvin, Kotetsu534, Mr_Big_Boss, NeoElfboy, yoyoyoyrlozer, Bulbopwn, RRRamos95, stormakaballer and zelosjr did not have Solid Snake winning.

1 person got it wrong and survived. Former first place FlyEaglesFly10 also did not have Solid Snake winning.
