To figure out a character's Xsts Percentage ---> [(CvB)(BvA)]/50 = CvA
To compare how C would do against B ---> [(CvA)/(BvA)]*50 = CvB
To figure out how B would do against A ---> [(CvA)/(CvB)]*50 = BvA

SBAllen vote stuffs for samus

False, it was Mrs. Bacon.

rip samus

@FinalFantasyVII @FinalFantasyVll

Do you realize that if you correctly picked Zelda > Mario in your bracket, it is almost mathematically impossible for you to not be on the leaderboard, assuming you didn’t egregiously foul up the rest of your bracket? You keep flaunting you called that match, but why aren’t you on the leaderboard then?

He called it in his Favorites bracket obviously.

We need some battle music in this final hour.

He either is terrible at brackets and got lucky with that pick and messed up everywhere else, or he’s lying.

I don't recall these events

I didn't even do a bracket

go mario

Go samus go

Prediction: Samus wins by 23 votes. Let's see how close I get.

This is freaking crazy. What is up with this match?

Mario to win confirmed

Perfect #500 post, I gotta say.

lol no one cares about this match for some reason

Mario winning after all that would be suuuuuuch a lame note to end the last 'real' match of this contest on

I've actually put down Smash for a bit because this is finally what I've wanted, a nailbiter. Don't put too much distance here, Mario.

OMG MARIO WITH THE CLUTCH UPDATE

CMON MARIO, HOLD ON A LITTLE LONGER!

Thank you for posting one of the best final boss themes in video games

Think Mario/Samus vs. Zelda could be.

You know you would be feeling the same way if your bracket wasn't on the line!

Mario v. Cloud is less entertaining than Samus v. Cloud.

Also I care a lot, just don't post every second.

I was so excited for Mario to win this because I have it in my bracket and I thought I have Cloud too so it might be a chance at a leaderboard again
But I remembered I actually have Mega Man here so
LOL
Still need those Mario points, maybe not all hope is lost

Lucky thirteen for Mario, maybe?

It's annoying that everyone who thought snake > Mario gets points here

Samus cut was big enough. Needs to win the last three updates by 4.3333 per update.

My sentiments exactly.

How close are we to an all time close finish?

Mario/Cloud would be a closer match than Samus/Cloud if there's the assumption that Samus is indirectly stronger than Mario.

Also, we haven't had a 1v1 Mario/Cloud match since 2002.

What was the biggest lead in this match?

No way is zelda getting a clean win vs whoever wins here

The hype is too real and she'll be coming off a doubling at the hands of Link

Whoever wins this goes to the grand finals, BELIEVE IT

Cloud will probably do better on Mario. Lets go Mario!!

Idc. I’m over Mario. He screwed me by losing to the Supreme Overlord Zelda.

It’s because this match is so fraudulent. There’s ridiculous levels of vote stuffing from both sides.

Frog won over Masterchief with 7 votes.

This is like my least favourite 13 ever

I think 206? It was a little over 200 when I looked it up earlier

It adds up when they don't get points for Mario.

And isn't Snake>Samus the popular thing here?

fairly accurate representation of this match

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_6nPLK5q9E

9 votes. 9 minutes.

9 votes. 2 updates. For who does these numbers spell distaster for?

Four-vote cut is on pace. Samus needs to win the next two updates by five votes to win.

Last update will actually be intense.

Would that I had more than one vote to give

I want mario to win so badly

Soooo badly!

I wonder what happens if the match is tied but the next round of matches still ends up starting.

Technically, you do have two votes.
