Stay low Ganondorf! Stay low! Because Vivi needs to beat you!

Spyro was probably better than assumed.

my word Vivi

LOL Lightning weaker than Cuphead


Lightning is already rising pretty fast after that first minute. Last round, Lightning gained a lot of percentage after the board vote ended.

Chloe is destined for the bottom five of the X-stats, that much is clear.

As much as I love her she never stood a chance against Dante
This Ganondorf performance is trash. Dante beats him unless this is Chun-Li being secretly legit or something.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

I am okay with Ganondorf being the only disappointing Smash character

After everything we've seen this contest, you don't think Chun-Li and to a lesser extent Spyro being legit makes the most sense?

Lightning is very weak, not surprising. It just shows how pathetic Chloe is.Leon struggling with Donkey Kong is crazy though.
...
I had far more faith in Spyro than most going into this contest. It's still a bad performance. Ganondorf better hope he somehow lost the board vote.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
if spyro is legit does that mean crash is like an upper midcarder and cecil boosted to heaven only to lose AGAIN

next contest cecil is going to get like 48% on sephiroth

Who will likely be the bottom five in the x-stats?

I'm thinking...(in no order)

Draven
Cayde-6
Chloe
Quiet
Monokuma

5 minute X-Stats!

Dante – 50.00%
Lightning – 32.28%
Cuphead – 28.41%
Chloe Price – 16.66%

Ganondorf – 50.00%
Chun-Li – 39.79%
Spyro the Dragon – 34.88%
Neku Sakuraba – 21.40%

Vivi – 50.00%
Yu Narukami – 25.11%
Aya Brea – 20.95%
Victor Sullivan – 16.94%

Leon Kennedy – 50.00%
Donkey Kong – 49.12%
Tidus – 42.31%
Dragonborn – 31.32%
Dante's destiny is to fold once he gets to round 2+ and fights real competition. Ganondorf's still got that.

Ganondorf vs. Vivi on the other hand...

I kinda hope Leon wins. That ape killed Mario so many times, and yet I still put quarters in the machine.
I don't suffer from insanity
I enjoy it
ctesjbuvf 11/3/2018 5:09:26 PM#420
If Cecil was somewhat contant and Spyro is roughly on Crash' level then this is fine for Ganondorf.

And Dante looks fine, but not incredible, we knew Lightning was trash, Chloe was just turbofodder

lower midcarder or even low mid, but he's not turbo fodder anymore
I owe it to y'all, DpOblivion and BKShiekah. Congrats on your brackets!

11 people fell off the Top 50. Ultimaphazon, CasanovaZelos, NightTundra, NeoElfboy, OFool, VeryInsane, Polycosm, aphorism, Fr0zoN, Ngamer64 and Dva69 did not have Ryu, Shepard, KOS-MOS and Aqua winning.

7 people got the match wrong but survived. Iamamongyou, 8Sunshine6, MasterMoltar, Bolto4, Nakian, vinsonarus and Oxbridge also did not have Ryu, Shepard, KOS-MOS and Aqua winning.

1 person had enough of a lead to lose 2 points but stay on the Top 50. Zylothewolf only got half of the matches right but is still alive.
This was not the best year for my bracket.
Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest!
The whole 'Dante always blows out people and then folds' is getting memed a bit too much here. He's not a super non-transitive character, he just fights a lot of fodder and a lot strong opponents. Ganondorf is probably the favorite going in because of his very strong track record, but he's underperforming by a lot here and it's not something to write off.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
abdou 11/3/2018 5:12:34 PM#426
Dante might actually have a chance against Ganondorf.

Haste_2 11/3/2018 5:12:45 PM#427
So.... about Donkey Kong leading... if he holds this, that means either Jill = Leon in strength? Or perhaps Jill's not far from Leon and DK = Fox? I didn't really expect either of those.

GAH! Why did Vivi have to drop so far? :/

And...whoooooaa. Ganondorf dropped too?! My Oracle is shot! Daaaang, either Ganondorf totally sucks or Chun Li is leagues ahead of Guile.
"Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think."
Hardly anyone talking about the DK-Leon match. Isn't Leon the favorite?

Tomorrow night's matches will start at 7:00 PM Eastern (instead of 8:00 PM) because of the November DST switch, so you'll want to configure your updater to handle this properly. Unless your updater is already configured to deal with the November DST switch.

I'd still take Leon > Jill, but she's probably never been THAT much weaker than him.

I suppose fighting character in general have fallen, but I probably think less of it than most. I don't think Scorpion haven't fallen has to do with Mortal Kombat being a fighting game in particular. I expected Guile to be that bad, but I know I was in a minority. I actually thought Chun-Li did rather good. I'm sure she'd generally be thought better of if her match was later on in the contest.

There's not much evidence of a fighting game deboost outside of Guile sucking, and people shouldnt have expected him to have strength in the first place.

I'd expect there to be a solid gap between Donkey Kong and K Rool, but I wouldn't feel safe about anything.
