the NCAA Tournament has done Second Chance brackets for years and they're always separate contests

I'm unfamiliar with the NCAA Tournament because I don't follow NCAA Basketball.
---

I still don't see any reason to think it wouldn't be a separate contest since Allen clearly advertised it as a second contest.
---

I guess Ngamer will need the prediction percentages for round 4 for the next episode:

Ganondorf - 28.50%
Pikachu - 31.59%
Alucard - 8.70%
Bowser - 22.17%
Zelda - 25.73%
Auron - 9.97%
Tifa - 10.79%
Sephiroth - 57.21%

Auron - 9.97%

Still can't get over this one
Barely better than Alucard's...!
---

well there were a few characters that casual bracketmakers perceived to be strong like Magus, Vincent, and probably Geralt, too

NG, Yo, can you please mention there's a Picsmith topic in Episode 7? Let people know we're able to help newcomers and that anyone is welcome with ideas. Thanks!

Auron in less brackets than Tifa is what gets me, since Tifa went through X, Luigi, and Mewtwo to get her win.

I'd like to think I had a part in that

even if I really didn't
---

how will I possibly fill this void while I wait for the contest to restart

could there be a new episode of The Show on the horizon
---

I have a feeling the next The Show will make me want to change half my 2nd chance bracket so I'm just waiting for it to hit.

A very special Thanksgiving episode of The Show...?

*rubs claws together*

I am so ready for that

And also to be on the show to share my secrets of being THIRD yeaaaahhh
---

Nah too much family stuff happening on T-Day all day, but the new one will come out VERY SOON.
---

Bump Friday.

I am standing in Iine, and not for Black Friday sales

Finally able to listen to this, great job as always.

I think you have the right idea about company-wide boosts not being universal, but I think there is an aspect of it you are missing. In the end it all comes down to the games. The perfect case study for this is Fox. Nintendo has been riding high, but they have been riding high because they've been putting out well received, high selling games for almost all of their franchises, usually series high points. Which franchise is the big exception? Star Fox. Star Fox Zero was not well received and people are done with that franchise. Likewise, a lot of those recognisable mascots like Crash and Spyro who have been doing well have been doing it off the back of series revivals, while others without well liked games (L-Block, Bomberman) did not do well. It's also why some western characters have crashed (Gordon), others have been stable (Lara) and some have looked great (Geralt). At the end of the day GameFAQs users do play a lot of games and stay current, and I think this contest shows that.

Good point LS, that's an important distinction. I'll try to remember to bring it up on the next episode.
---

Still standing in line.
---

Seven hours Leon.....
---

Them boys stood.
---

(and waited for my late ass)
---

So... when is 2nd chance bracket lockdown?

I guess the show needs to go up at least 5 hours before then. 4 hours for us to listen to it, then 1 hour to freak out about our brackets and make last minute changes.

6 PM Eastern time on the 26th (one hour before the contest resumes)
---

We're LIVE, be sure to listen before finalizing your second bracket!
