-LusterSoldier- 12/16/11 5:26:00 PM #17:	I'm not perfect in the battle challenge, so a 1% pick might be the only way to potentially finish in the top 10. I had my streak broken up by DK/Ezio in round 1, but that's the only match I have gotten wrong so far. So if the next 2 matches play out as they should, I will have 154000 points to use on the final match. The perfect battlers will all have 195300 points to work with. So being behind the perfects by about 40000 points, a 5% pick for the perfects would give them 488250 points. If I used a 1% pick with my 154000 points, I could end up with 462000 points, which still wouldn't be enough to put me over the perfect battlers that did a 5% pick. -- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ \| ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! <cite>-LusterSoldier- posted [p:563102] in First impr...

From: Pondos \| #023 I don't see why any perfects wouldn't go with 5%. That's a pretty big increment to work with.

Winged Supreme 12/19/11 3:43:00 AM #36:	I'm going with the 1% pick, go big or go home. Who the f* cares if I end up with 0 points?
