Elimination non-update: I made a bad guess last night and ran my program assuming a Bayonetta win. I dont really have time this morning to compile the output for Geralt, so eliminations for Division 7+8 wont be posted until after those battles have started.

Division 1/2 results look fairly stable now (leads over 1k in all instances). Once they go final, A worlds envy, greengravy, and RoseChevalier should officially be dead.

A look at tomorrow's eliminations:
CqQVxEh

Top row seems like the most probable, since 2B and Phoenix Wright look to be at least a step behind Bowser/Kirby, and the impression I'm getting is that Division 3 could plausibly go either way at this point.


Eliminated everyone in the Red, Alucard, Bowser, Kirby table

I just now noticed that the cookie cutter bracket is impossible

COOKIE has Snake winning Losers Quarters, Cloud winning Losers Semis then Snake winning Losers Finals

hmm it should be Snake winning Losers Q, Snake winning Loser Semi, then Mario winning Loser Final If I'm not mistaken?

Maybe that's what happens if you do round-by-round favorites instead of plopping the character with the highest prediction percentage directly into the cookie

Noticed a couple more mistakes on my bracket :(

These are ones I called out in the previous topic for corrections, I should have Zelda > Squall (you have me down for Zelda winning R4 already which is correct) and Geralt winning his round 3 match also

Looks like steevo should also have Pikachu in Losers R1 (#129), right now the guru site has him with Mega Man in both 122 and 129. (post 232 in http://www.thengamer.com/gamefaqs/18CBX-GuruBracketsP5.html)

I thought I was dead if X lost. But Zero and Vivi are much cooler than Ganondork and the yellow rat so they get my vote even if Tifa wins here. Sure my bracket goes from being in the top 15 to dead but It's all about the greater good!

Please re-check your bracket, the guru site somehow has you with Sephiroth winning in both the winners and losers bracket (with Mario in neither), so it's still possible that the answer is never.

Yeah Loser Round 1 4th Match should be Mario, and the rest of the loser's bracket are Mario where Seph should be moving on as well at Losers Round 2 and Round 3

Well that explains why I was still alive all this time. A mistake.

Alright looks like my bracket's been dunzo a long time ago.

Picking Sephiroth > Mario, and then winning two rounds in winners after that is more than enough to keep you alive, you're not dead yet.

good old guru contest. i have Dva winning the contest and Kirby and Red both beating Crono. yet Kirby and Red both losing this round still wouldn't eliminate me.

i'm curious what my path to victory would be at that point. i guess i'd need Tifa > Sephiroth and like, Zelda winning the whole contest?
