A = Strongest Character
B = Character Weaker than A
C = Character Weaker than B
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

no

no

I say Link's the star of the contest now, beating Zelda like this.

Jay Solano can and has done it.

His % on cloud was more improessive. To beat cloud who is the strongest non Nintendo character by over 60 was monstrous.

I still want to see mario v link. Only because mario has trolled us too many times and it’s only right Link beats his arse to death.

Looks like my support ticket prompted a change on the bracket display

Hi,

I an currently leading the contest and wanted to make sure my entry is prize eligible. I filled out the entire bracket and selected prize entry but my tiebreaker does not show up so presumably I did not fill it in?

I just wanted to make sure that not filling in a tiebreaker would not exclude me from a prize, it would merely mean I lost all tiebreaker scenarios right?

Thanks,

Luke

I think this is it?

all the cloud images are good

mario's overly detailed overalls in brawl still look bad to me

BTW, Dapper Mario is totally my sabotage pic of the contest. :P

Sabotage doesnt matter as much with multi pic round

Dapper pics aren't even sabotage

But people loved Odyssey, right?

No this is OldManFAQs no one has played it.

>_>

Cloud leading this early isn't great news for Mario.

Cloud with the early vote or is Mario screwed?

Cloud is holding up early against the corrupt plumber

Not the best start for Mario.

They’ve played Best of the Worst, but not Space Odyssey?

Cloud rising.

Is Cloud pulling away?

Samus would have blown the doors off this dude. Mario is getting his just desserts.

Mario should be winning the early vote right?

There might be hope for Cloud

Quick Nintendo, release a water based Mario game.

why does it show 100% to one entrant during the first five minutes?

never thought i'd see people cheering for cloud strife against a non-Link opponent <_<

Mario putting a bit of a fight here now, but this is big trouble for him.

I’m wonder after seeing Link destroy s*** and Mario narrowly winning against Samus, that it may have altered early vote trends.

You must be looking at the results on this page:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/features/cbx_vote_results

Instead, you should go straight to the actual poll results page for the match.

go my cloud

Cloud dropping ;/

Cloud got a quick surge near the end of the board vote to take the lead before the freeze kicked in.

3 people fell off the Top 50. Sir_Meowcat_Esq, Z1mZum and Xuxon bet against the king and lost.

9 people fell off the Second Chance Top 50. BornInLondon, MAZZ0Murder, svr4ever, jorhead, Taske_Himara, Croire, SPIDER1, supercurrymax and Kitty_the_Squid didn't believe in the LAW.

Cloud hasn't looked like the extreme anti-vote magnet he used to be, but this is still a really bad start for Mario. Mario had 64% on Sephiroth five minutes in.

Man, Mario couldn't even lead Cloud at the freeze. This is going to be a beating.

I saw at least six ties during the board vote

Cloud leads at the freeze.....this is good, I think.

I feel dirty wanting Mario to win for my brackets sake despite far, far preferring Cloud. Not going to vote though

I've got Mario in my dead bracket but I don't even care at this point.

Mario lost 4.75% from the freeze to the finish against Sephiroth. This is over.

I'm not sure how much a Cloud win or double win would drop me. I guess I'd potentially still stay in the prizes

Or you could hold off until near the end of the match and then vote for Cloud if the match is not close at all.

and then mario uses his forward air to dunk cloud

that went the wrong way

Looks like the board realized that FFVII doesn't always win...

And Mario gains.

Yeah, Cloud won the board vote.

lolboard8

Well

I think we can officially confirm that Mario is the villain in the eyes of the early voters

Damn Cloud
