Does losers bracket trump main bracket since it happens after? I guess wht is your logic?

I would guess fans of the winner in the main bracket will be apathetic, while fans of the loser will be doing whatever they can to get their guy a win. So the loser should get a decent boost. At least for a close match with a surprising result.

Might be too specific of logic to today's match, but curious to hear peoples thoughts.

Also obligatory mention of how bad the set up for the losers bracket was for even forcing this scenario. ..

The real answer is that they are probably relatively equal, and itll depend on other factors who takes the win.

Pikachu only won the first time because of double votes.

Mega Man vs Link could give us a hint. My gut is that this is closer to the "correct" result though. KP pointed out that the anon vote totals were way down in their first meeting due to the break

IMO it means the difference between their strength is within the margin of error of the contest's ability to measure it.

But as far as breaking that tie, I'd go with whoever ends up with the most total votes over the two matches, which looks like it'll be Mega Man?

MM is probably a bit stronger based on Pikachu getting some sort of a bandwagon detective pikachu rally

However this time next year Pikachu could very well be outright stronger.

Pikachu also got a rally as well. Both characters were rallied, but Pikachu had the bigger rally. I also estimated that there were about 800 rallied votes and that Mega Man would have won without the rally.

I thought Mega Man would win a rematch as I did not think the rallies would show up a second time.

WTF. In second chance, I took Mega Man in the winner's bracket and Pikachu in the loser's bracket. Screw you all.

Pikachu had a lot more reasons to win the first time
Let's Go and Detective Pikachu trailer were more recent, first match had more hype so more reason to rally, bandwagon

Second match is more time passed from Let's Go, Detective Pikachu, Pikachu got killed by Link so bandwagon is dead, no reason to rally because who cares, Mega Man pity votes and people that want a reverse winner this time

Well if Mega Man wins with around 52% and Pikachu won with only 50.11% I'd say MM is a little stronger

Basically who had the more convincing win

Also Mega Man got more total votes in the first match too, the double votes sank him. So basically I give Mega Man a slight edge

This is me with Zelda/Snake and I bet it's going to go that way with them as well.

Might be a little less certain. Zelda hasn't really been getting external rallies like pikachu was.

the real question is if Mega Man wins did Pikachu really kill a Noble Niner!

Pikachu is probably stronger.

The loser bracket rally for MM is more then likely last minute, rushed, and desperate. MM in general probably won't maintain the momentum of this vote over the long term in the contests. So MM is probably weaker because of this.

Mega Man got more votes in both matches. i'd call it a tie more than anything but if i had to pick one it's obviously Mega Man.

that's...a very misleading statement then. What term are we using to refer to unique voters as opposed to including double votes from GFaqs users? Should we start calling the doubled version "points" or something?

Do you think MM's(or any of them, really) status as a Noble Niner gives them an advantage over non-NNers? I would think so, especially in a rematch.
