Board 8 > So, anyone else take Sora/Riku here?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just curious.

"Anyone else" huh

Anyways in my bracket I took him in about three seconds and never looked back

I'm actually not sure what I put down in battle though

Yeah, that sums up Squall's early vote pretty well.

This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

I did. I based my entire bracket on underdog movies. I have Red/Blue going the distance with Link in the finals but losing, because they are meant to represent Rocky 1. Sora/Riku got Rocky II so I have them winning.

Nope; my gut said it could go either way, but Squall/Seifer seemed to be the consensus pick with very little debate, so I picked them =\

I took them in my bracket, took Squall in the battle challenge because Sora wasn't that impressive and everyone said Squall's a 'lock'.

No. No, I did not.

But tbqh since I have no more stake in this contest I will be thrilled if the current lead holds (but I doubt it will). <3 Sora and Riku. <3 KH.

Yeah the dumb SotC game proved this last contest too good point Ulti.

Actually I'm not so sure. Upsets actually existed last contest!

Had them in my bracket, but since I have Fighters in the semis, lol.

Thank you.
Finally, someone who understands.

The main reason that this contest has been awful (with absolutely no upsets of any kind) is because the vote totals are so low, that in close matches the bracket voters (through the B8 consensus) have skewed every match in favour of the favourite.
It's the same reason that matches that were though to have a very small chance of being an upset (like matches predicted to be in the 55-45 to 60-40 range, ended up as 75-25 blowouts throughout the entire first round -- bracket voting against the upsets.

The contest does not work with vote totals this low.

Part of the problem was the poor idea for a contest, poor alignment of the battles, not allowing more interesting entries, etc. But if the traffic on the site doesn't go back up then the contest is definitely dead.

Final Blasphemy is lamer.

If Sora/Riku were going up against a lame FF rivalry then I would choose them but in this case they are not, so go Squall!

You? Predicting Squall to win a debatable match? I'm so shocked I could die. It's like you're a shaman or something!

I don't think the effect of bracket voting is quite that large. I definitely am not alone when I say that I vote for my favorite character/game/whatever even if it conflicts with my bracket. I voted Sora/Riku in both R2 and R3 even though I had them lose round 2 in my normal bracket and have them losing today in battle bracket.

I still said Squall was going to win 15 minutes into the match when everyone was freaking out about the upset.

I may be a Squall fanboy, but when it comes to contests, I'm a realist. If I thought Squall was going to lose, I would've said so.

Sigh.

Going to lose my perfect battle bracket on the closest match of the contest.

That's something I guess.
