Alucard winning this division is probably the best remaining outcome for the Sora backers like myself, although it'd be nice if Big Boss at least won today to deny the Red backers those extra 4 points.

You felt your sins weighing down on your neck.
2B definitely deserved her 1-seed.
Now crack that combination:
27 99 23.

Can I just blame Allen for sabotaging Big Boss with old man pic

Haha, I think at a certain point you just have to accept that Big Boss only has one picture where he looks good -- and that's only because he's a carbon copy of Solid Snake. He should be able to roll with any picture at this point, he's not really unmistakable anymore, you know?

(Of course, it could just be that classic "never trust a regular, middle-aged man to win" factor striking again!!)

Well if there's any character that proves that pics matter, it's Solid ****.

Man

Is 2B/Bowser really going to be closer than Alucard/Kefka

That's wild, and in a good way
"Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything."
2B is reverse SFFing Bowser's Bowsette boost. Bowser can still beat Kirby.
Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality.
I've been tied with 50th place on the leaderboard so many times and have never been on it goddammit
If all else fails use fire.
In a "down year for Pokemon", Pokemon wins have cost me 8 points (and probably my bracket) in two days. This f***ing franchise.

2B looking really great.

That brings to mind a question: what is the strongest debut by a character in their first eligible contest? Excluding the first contest, obviously.

Zero gave Sonic a really respectable fight in 2003.

Of course, L-Block and Dracen won contests in their debuts, and Missingno beat Crono, but as far as non-rally, non-joke strength, it's probably Zero.

It's hard to call Kefka a fraud since he is so inconsistant, but that still a bad performance.
At least he didn't do it against Bomberman.
strongest Debut might also be Shadow the Hedgehog getting 45% on Mario

Tommy Vercetti beat DK in 2003. I guess the Cube is another contender.

Also looking at x-stats I think the actual answer is still a joke character. I think its Weighted Companion Cube?

Non joke answer is I think Lightning on 2010
65% on Phoenix doesn't strike me as that much weaker than 65% on Falcon. Kirby's really going for it this year.

Who takes Peach > Kefka pre-contest anyway

Square also, that's gotta mean something.


True. I probably would've given 2B more credit if I'd realized Nier was Square when I'd made my bracket, although this result seems weird. 2B-Bowser being closer than Alucard-Kefka is not something I would've called before the contest or even after their earlier matches. It took until seeing them in Round 2 for me to even realize Alucard was the favorite!

Then again, another reason why I wouldn't have called Bowser's third match to be closer than Alucard's is because I fell into the "new characters are weak" trap and just assumed that Ness-Shadow was a 3-point match.
"Someday I'll catch up, and then you'll all be surprised!"
BKSheikah has the power. He is the one.
I'm not sure I take Peach over Kefka regardless of the final percentages today. Alucard - especially with a picture advantage - is just a prime candidate to ignore Kefka's bulls*** shenanigans. I'm not sure if Peach is (though I dunno if Kefka's ever beaten Nintendo 1v1, so she might be).
So Alucard > Red is definitely happening right?

He's only ever had one match against a Nintendo character, and that was Bowser in 2010.

Who's expected to have the stronger night vote, Red or Big Boss?

Maybe it's just me desperately clinging to a rapidly dying bracket, but I'm not ready to count him out just yet.

Red. PokeFEAR is still stronger than MGS4.

Big Boss, but looking at the map it may be more of a stall than building anything that would last.

Yes, but very few characters have actually made their first eligible contest! Especially when you take into account that Lightning made her contest debut while her game was still Japan-exclusive, since it disqualifies a number of other characters like Sora and Amaterasu (neither of which have missed a contest since the North American releases of their debut games).

What's the ruling on X, though? I seem to remember that CJayC considered all Mega Men to be the same character, but MMX didn't actually debut until the second fourway contest. If 2008 was in fact the first year that X was eligible, though, he's certainly a good candidate for the honor.

But if the question is "What is the best that any character whose debut game came out after the first contest has done in the first character battle to be held after said release date?"... well, okay, that's poorly phrased as well, since League of Legends receives new characters via updates and Draven wasn't part of the original cast. In fact, Teemo could've been in CBVIII, but Draven couldn't have. But regardless, the leading answers are all rally targets in one way or another. WCC is a possible answer in spite of its presence in the CBVI bonus poll as Portal came out during the contest. You know who else is a candidate? Bidoof. Yeah, seriously. Even though they hadn't gone to simultaneous worldwide releases yet, Diamond and Pearl's Japanese and U.S. releases were close enough that Bidoof qualifies as someone who made the bracket in their first eligible year.

For non-rallied entries? Altair is a possibility. He made Round 3 in 2008, which was indeed his first eligible year.
