A = Strongest Character
B = Character Weaker than A
C = Character Weaker than B
To figure out a character's extrapolated 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

Does anyone have the stats for the Division 2 matches and how many votals were effected by rallies?

There were some minor rallies today but i doubt number was too high
Aeris with 64%.

I've been a bit back and fourth on doing another PCA as I did in 2015. It's fun, but takes a lot of time. It took me almost half a year to finish back then, and if I do it again I don't want to be that slow. I didn't care in 2017 and I considered it 2018, but figured I didn't have time. Now I do have the time due to a couple of things getting delayed. Round 1 didn't spark a lot of new interest, but round 2 sure has so far. I'm now quite positive I'll do it once more.

Good news is that I don't have to hold to my self-imposed bet and give Octopath another chance. Ys it is!

Ah, right. Right now, I'd probably put her at low 70s. Halo is not worth a lot, and with first part of FFVIIR being out. We'll see what people think of it down the line.

Oh man, with Yacht Club's tweet just being an hour old by the time the next match starts, that is gonna help Cuphead.

Prepare for an even crazier first five minutes in that match. Cuphead's taking it home.

Man I am not prepared for the next set of matches. They could all be over in 5 minutes but they could really go either way other that Fire Emblem.

I am extremely stressed out as someone who took GTA way further than I should have. At least give me another round to regret my pick.

I'd be surprised if GTA has it locked up within 5 minutes
Looking at the rest of the bracket I'm trying to figure out what companies/directors are likely to give enough of a s*** about this contest to actually put out a tweet like this. To my mind:

-Pretty much any indie left in bracket like Cuphead and Stardew
-CDPR: Witcher (this is the BIG one because they're known to do this)
-Guirella Games: Horizon Zero Dawn
-The God of War guy who I can't remember but cried when he saw the reviews
-Chrisitian Whitehead: Sonic Mania
-Yoko Taro if he spoke English

Man, I've been so caught up in today's rigamarole that I forgot about GTA/Cuphead and P4G/RDR tonight.

After what Yacht Club Games just did for Shovel Knight, you just KNOW people are gonna be hitting up Studio MDHR for a Cuphead tweet.
The music was thud-like.

Vivi stopped Squall from winning the next round

therefore it was bad
tgs2 4/14/2020 4:28:43 PM#42
Shovel Knight seems to be gettimg at least 20-30 extra votes an update. That can add up in dead hours even against Odyssey/BotW if that account is serious about rallying against Mario.

That is not even accounting for theoretical indie banner waving if Cuphead loses tomorrow. Many indie supporters could back Shovel Knight and create another Undertale situation.

It's an exciting theoey to think about.

With all these stupid rallies and rally spillovr from casual sites. Cuphead has nochance unfortunately

Also RDR could also beat P4G based on this.

I think my PCA would be a lot better if I finished within a month, two tops. The passion runs out a bit otherwise, even if the key points are the same.
