So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

So the contest stats no longer seem to show how many people have how many points?

That's a major bummer

Prediction percentages for yesterday's matches, if anyone's interested:
Dante - 81.71%
Lightning - 80.74%
Chun-Li - 55.02%
Ganondorf - 92.41%
Congrats to 2017 Guru champ BKSheikah!
And all of a sudden a Nintendo character with his own long-running, best-selling series winning against a lower mid-tier Square boy seems super obvious

oh well
If all else fails use fire.
The contest stats page shows user votes, total votes, and picks. Cool stuff! Thanks @SBAllen, good touch.

So did Tidus already lose?
If I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.

wow percentage didn't even budge

This is usually one of Square's better times, too. Tidus needs a monster overnight from Europe to keep it close.

For a while, I had Sully over Aya and DK over Tidus, before chickening out of the "upset picks".

Very glad I did the former. Feeling... okay about the latter, since Tidus has a sweet night vote, but I'm far from confident. Especially since DK's match pic is absolutely killer.
Now crack that combination:

And then add that Tidus hasn't won a match since 2005! I mean I actually like DK more, why didn't I pick him instead?

Do things still need to be added to the stats pages? Like how many people have what amount of points, and percentile? Also, unless I'm not seeing it, the personal bracket page doesn't show total score. Easy to count at this point, but later on it will obviously be a bit harder.

It feels so good to see that DK is finally getting some respect. If he holds, I think we can finally do away with his King of Choke label.

Nice information on that page. Not that it really mattered, since I had figured out another method to obtain the raw vote totals (before any bonus is applied) and use it to figure out the number of registered user votes.

Also, we had a total of 7221 brackets submitted for this contest. Ouch.

Despite all of the effort that Allen put into promoting this contest (a banner on pretty much every page of the site, and a yellow site alert for roughly the last 24 hours of the entry period), we end up with a career low in brackets submitted.

Master Chief once swung a 2000 vote comeback against DK

Surely Tidus can do it too
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!
DK's pic really standing out from the rest today is one thing that helped me pick him

I don't think DK is going to hold onto that lead, but if he does I'd be totally okay with guessing wrong here.

Any character with a Smash Ultimate render is gonna have a pic advantage by default, mark my words. Those renders are to die for.

The closer we got to the match, the better I felt about Aya. I just didn't see any reason for Sully to win unless he had a massive bracket advantage, and with only 7221 brackets this year, it probably wouldn't matter anyway.

I never feel confident in Tidus regardless of how much I crow.

He probably just needs to keep the damage to a minimum for the first couple of hours because he should be able to cut once we hit the deep night vote.
Very good result from Vivi. Yu isn't a joke.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
Yu isn't a joke but neither is SFF.

There isn't SFF in any of the matches in the contest so far.

People don't know or care who Yu is. People actually know what "the black mage" is.

We'll know if Yu isn't a joke if Vivi gives Ganon a fight. I'm not holding my breath.

Yeah, I don't really know either.

I do feel pretty good about saying that if Tidus doesn't have the lead by morning, he won't win.

Looks like we've already stabilized.

It's hard to tell if Nintendo still has a legit POWER HOUR with the match time being different. I guess that's Tidus's best hope, that DK will just start falling off once the first hour's over.
