Stop calling every character a fraud.

And I noticed that I got X > Sephiroth in my losers bracket. Tifa > Sephiroth in contest strength right?

How can it be everyone keeps looking bad.
Even if you look great by winning, you end up being exposed next match.

MMX probably takes the lead and holds it for a while, giving everyone false hope

Then Europe comes and Tifa stomps on him for the rest of the 18 hours
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
X probably needs a 1,000 vote lead by 1 AM Eastern. It would not surprise me to see Tifa get 55% from that point onwards.

17 people fell off the Top 50. PoIl6177, Xuxon, SamusOverCloud, HasteThree, Tekashi69, tennisboy213, Xeybozn, Samurai7, darthsidius, pokemonandrew, Brandalia, Agent_M, Bane_Of_Despair, MarioSuperstar, Amyson, dimi161 and Underleveled did not have Zelda, Aerith, Geralt and Auron winning.

20 people got one wrong and for the most part went up. Cb7799, scaryice, Captain_Sorzo, art_of_the_kill, KeepinItFresh, foxhead84, iGenesis, ALAKA, Mr_Monkford, DoctorJimmy133, BradyFumbled, XIII_rocks, Vegink, pirate109, VegetarianKefka, Ranticoot, paulg235, AxemRedRanger, Gyarados and Fart also did not have Zelda, Aerith, Geralt and Auron winning.

8 people score half points but are still hanging on. haloiscoolisbak, GoldSlime35, davidponte, VeryInsane, PSI_NESS, Camden, TeamRocketElite and Advokaiser manage to stay on the Top 50.

Congrats to the 5 people who managed to score full points. New first place Steevo_234, new third place hylianknight3, TheBiggerWiggle, pronouncemyname and Safer_777 got all 16 points yesterday.
This was not the best year for my bracket.
Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest!

woo go my Tifa
The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history.
Damn it, am I going to regret lowering my Oracle prediction on Luigi? I originally had him up over 70% and then realized that we hadn't really been seeing that many blowouts in these later rounds.

Still, even with X leading Tifa early, this looks pretty good for my Pikachu > Mega Man pick!

BKSheikah has the power. He is the one.

Tifa winning this would make her the star of this contest. It's always nice when your favorite wins debatable matchups. Several in a row would be amazing.

Not quite. If anything, I think their head-to-head results probably make Tifa look closer to Sephiroth than she actually is!

With that said, if X busts out a couple more 50 vote gains than Tifa is in a heap of trouble. I think she's the favorite if she keeps the lead to 200~ or so by the end of the first hour.

MMX has 54% in the US. Tifa needs to dominate the Europe vote to have a chance.

I'm not especially impressed by this Luigi result. We've seen Nintendo>Sonic SFF a bunch of times before and Tails beating up on has-been western characters looks less impressive the longer the contest goes on.

I agree, Tifa is my favourite character in the FF series. I even got a poster of her in front of my bed so she's the first thing I see when I wake up every day.

But Mega Man X is one of the few characters I have never voted against so he got my vote, but any of these two in the sweet sixteen is awesome!

One wrong is better than two! You went up from 43rd to 26th by only getting one wrong yesterday.

I love the MMX games, but FFVII moreso and Tifa is a big reason for that. Cases where either one winning makes you happy is great.

I'm already getting Geralt/Bayonetta deja vu from the MMX/Tifa match.
congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru
Imagine having the stones to take KOS-MOS > Shepard pre-contest.
Now crack that combination:
27 99 23.

Currently up to 64% in it!

The change of start time makes the first 6 or so hours of the match is when North America makes its biggest mark in this contest. As soon as the deep night hits, Europe wakes up and starts having a much bigger influence, and it's an influence that continues throughout basically the entire day vote. Barring some exceptions, most Europe-strong characters have steadily increased all day in this contest.

Oh, is this like how Geralt has lost all his matches after trailing in the US early?

Geralt probably has a higher 'rise to heaven' than Tifa does. Tifa's early vote is relatively strong by FF7 standards, while Geralt (and every western character) just always performs like crap.

However, Mega Man X is way worse in Europe than Bayonetta is.

Poor Tails.
"Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything."
Let's play a dumb game

If Tifa/X has the same exact trends as Geralt/Bayonetta (it won't), Tifa will win the next update only to be crushed on the update after that

Oh wait..what
Just realized I am in the top 55 (and once again not on the leaderboard because I finished my bracket in the last few days)
I don't know how much having 3/4 here will drop me...

I have Waluigi>Fox here, of all the matches to get wrong...

No one cares. And you’ll never make the leaderboard.

Congrats @Nanis23
