Gonna start working on backlog of changes to do here:

SpikeDragon posted...
I have Bowser losing to Crono twice


fixed

@NowItsAngeTime I think this is wrong on the Guru site - I think it should be Bowser in 130, Crono in 138 instead of the other way around.


@SpikeDragon can you confirm?


Match 124: Crono
Match 130: Bowser
Match 138: Crono

Also jesus i almost went from 2nd to eliminated

When Ngamer is inevitably eliminated... Will he lose his handsomeness?

He would go from "Handsome" to "Decaying" because dead people don't usually stay handsome after they die.

I remember one year Ngamer listed himself a zombie after his guru kicked the bucket.

Division 7+8 eliminations:
zhNjooI

Bane_Of_Despair should also be eliminated due to an earlier division, he wasn't on the original image because of corrections.

Edit: PSI_NESS is actually eliminated by corrections before division 7+8 (by SpikeDragon). Oversight in my program's shortened output since it was straight up, with no future errors/conditions to account for (and I forgot to put shortcut output on that branch).

@NewerShadow @NowItsAngeTime

Ah crap

So I was wondering why the Guru showed me having 127 points instead of 123

Turns out it had Match 111 picking Luigi as the winner when I had Master Chief advancing.

I double checked, the rest of the Guru Entry for my bracket is correct, just that one last mistake. Sorry guys.

So does that wrong pick mean Im dead?

Yeah, even if Tifa wins today (which gets me zero points), I'm far enough behind that any Losers bracket misstep would kill me. I probably need both the unlikely result of Ganon > Pikachu and the near-impossible Alucard > Bowser to pan out.

No difference, you're basically all-in on Sephiroth advancing at this point anyway, 4 points isn't going to make a difference in that.

Looks like things are wrapped up for today.
A couple things, before I leave my computer for a while:

An updated comparison of closest living brackets, before the legends bracket runs:
https://pastebin.com/raw/UYSMEzFx

A list of scenarios in which the remaining entrants can win the contest (assuming a Link win):
https://pastebin.com/raw/Jpk25SEN

(When it says "for any combination", it just means the results play out exactly as their bracket is picked)

Note that it uses the maximum points that a person can get, so things like Link going to the losers bracket (for Monika pickers) are assumed to happen as soon as possible.

So what does this mean? Ganon and Zelda have to win out for me to win the Guru? But that wouldn't be possible if you assume Link wins the contest. Also TRE has this same Ganon+Zelda combo but more total points than me, so does that mean he's already eliminated me?

Two things here:
1) the combination listed is for matches that you are guaranteed to be wrong. It assumes that all picks that *could* happen, do happen, and runs every possible combination of winners for the ones that cant. In your case, Zelda is referring to 131, where you have Squall picked. Ganondorf is referring to 129, because...
2) one of my checks is off for the losers bracket - it thinks that Ganondorf is not a valid option for 129 even though hes still valid. It doesnt impact scores, since the list of valid winners for that match is generated by a different function (in the correct way). But every bracket that has Ganondorf picked in 129 will show up as that match wrong in this file.

Also, it terminates if it finds a scenario where you win, so basically its more useful for stuff like Monika pickers, where someone still alive has a bunch of guaranteed wrong picks, where you can see it iterating through.
