High five fellow twix guy. Also partial to Kit-Kats.

Super dark, partly bitter chocolate is my absolute favorite, but I doubt that's considered a candy.

I can confirm that if he had been listed as Joker with his Joker picture from Persona, I'd have picked him instead of Claire.

Same but I'm so glad I repped my girl now because it looks like she would have won regardless (at least with a better pic for both sides).

Hah, Allen let him have his Joker name and he still shit the bed. Thats great. So glad I stuck with my gut feeling and took Claire.

Yeah, I think even a Joker picture (with the mask or whatever) wouldn't have flipped this result provided that Claire also got one of her better pics. She really does look ugly up there.

You know, if she gets a classic Claire pic next round, she may look respectable against Subz!

TopicPrediction: No one currently in the top 50 will finish on the leaderboard.

At least a few people will get there. As more rally characters fall (or fail to amount anything of significance), Link's odds of winning increase. If I had to pull a number out of my ass, I'd say he has 90-95% chance of winning right now. I'm also guessing everyone or almost everyone currently in the Top 50 has Link winning, and that alone will amount to almost 200 points of the 700-point max score. Among the other high-value matches, only Snake/Mario/Cloud/Crono REALLY have a chance, and all of those guys probably have enough representation among guys in the Top 50 right now.

Even if Crono makes a miracle run, he can only beat Cloud and cost most people 16 points before he runs into the Link wall. 16 points won't be a huge deal that late in the game (remember, 700-point bracket).

And the loser's bracket, which absolutely will be a bloodbath, is only 8 points per battle and won't be responsible for a death of all the current leaderboard because everyone - Top 50 or not - will be bleeding points from that thing.

Realistically, a Link loss is the only thing that can vanquish the entire leaderboard.

From what I remember, Vincent was my least favorite party member apart from Cait Sith. Least memorable guy in the game... apart from Cait Sith.

Kinda makes sense why he'd lose this much traction as more and more people forget why they liked him in the first place.

I'm taking a trip down contest memory lane, and apart from letting Kratos beat her in 2008 (because Seph was in the poll and laid an SFF beatdown), Tifa has never had a match match. She dispatches midcarders with ease, obliterates fodder, and only loses - and very respectably - to Noble 9ers. Be a shame if such a bountiful history were deflated by a Pokemon 60/40.

Sephiroth may have been unceremoniously dumped from the Legends bracket, but he won the main bracket lottery. He'll face opponents who may take advantage of anti-voting to embarrass him a little (Falcon, Amaterasu, maaaaybe Wesker), but the only one in Division 8 with even an outside shot at the upset is Ryu... and man would that be sad.

Hey, Claire was #13 in the 2002 x-stats! Maybe Joker is an elite character that got a horrible draw!

Heh, I do remember that. First stats are best stats.

Fox is in Claire's camp in that he's never had many opportunities to showcase his strength. He was thrown to Cloud and Link in the early years when those guys could triple anything, then he's been in a bunch of wonky SFF matches since then. The match against Jill was, believe it or not, his first 1v1 match against another micarder and he did great.

He'll have another opportunity to shine in R3, and I think he will. If Nintendo is boosting as much as the last few weeks lead us to believe, then Fox will be a beneficiary for sure. The dude's been on the Nintendo B-Team for 25 years.

Speaking of which...

- Leon looked great
- Jill performed well against a Fox who's probably favored to beat Aeris
- Claire may get her first contest win against a (handicapped and weak) 2-seed
- Wesker could look respectable against an anti-voted elite

May be a good contest for ol' RE!

Auron isn't exactly impressing here, I thought he would be closer to 70%. Vincent can definitely beat him, FFVII>any other FF has usually been the case

Yeah, I feel that either Vincent or Magus can walk into Round 2 with some intangible advantages despite likely being weaker than Auron against a static opponent.

And a Vincent R2 win might make him more prone to anti-votes in R3 whiBAYONETTA DIVISION CHAMPION

I can't stop thinking about the most hilarious outcome: Vincent goes from nearly embarrassing himself here to invoking FF-SFF and beating Auron next round.

Kingdom Heart is such a fraud. No one is hyped for KH3 apparently.


Or maybe we're just too old at this point where hype simply can't boost characters anymore. I'd assume once the game comes out, then Sora would likely see a boost.


then explain Simon?

Simon's probably the biggest counter-example, but I also think Leon serves as one. Even if we're hesitant to give Dragonborn any credit, Leon looked too good and I have to assume RE2 Remake hype is responsible for a bit of that.

Alright, at this pace, Geralt might end up looking fine. I'd say anything in the mid-50s here makes him a favorite next round, especially if Ryu overtakes Simon and eliminates any more Nintendo-fear Geralt might have to deal with.

Probably Sans. I'd wager that the anti-Undertale community here is larger than the guys so into the Wii U Smash scene that they'd actually anti-vote Bayonetta for being broken.

Titles matter quite a bit. They're part of a character's identity.

It's not going to be a HUGE difference because it's still Captain Toad in the pic, but if the match ends up super close like it's looking it may, I'm calling foul play. Let's see what was in your bracket, Allen!!!

Would Toad be stronger than Captain Toad?

It's uncertain, but I do agree with the notion of calling out this mistake if the result winds up close.
