It's the finals final and no one has made a new one yet. Can anyone break 40% on Link anymore?

A = Strongest Character
B = Character Weaker than A
C = Character Weaker than B
To figure out a character's Xsts Percentage ---> [(CvB)(BvA)]/50 = CvA
To compare how C would do against B ---> [(CvA)/(BvA)]*50 = CvB
To figure out how B would do against A ---> [(CvA)/(CvB)]*50 = BvA

His % on cloud was more improessive. To beat cloud who is the strongest non Nintendo character by over 60 was monstrous.

I still want to see mario v link. Only because mario has trolled us too many times and its only right Link beats his arse to death.

Looks like my support ticket prompted a change on the bracket display

Message From Lukejalil on 12/11/2018
Hi,

I an currently leading the contest and wanted to make sure my entry is prize eligible. I filled out the entire bracket and selected prize entry but my tiebreaker does not show up so presumably I did not fill it in?

I just wanted to make sure that not filling in a tiebreaker would not exclude me from a prize, it would merely mean I lost all tiebreaker scenarios right?

Thanks,

Luke

Message From GameFAQs on 12/11/2018
The entry type is now visible from your bracket page.


Mine now shows the below when previously it showed only score no tiebreaker

Character Battle X - My Bracket
Your Score: 391

You must be looking at the results on this page:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/features/cbx_vote_results

Instead, you should go straight to the actual poll results page for the match.

9 people fell off the Second Chance Top 50. BornInLondon, MAZZ0Murder, svr4ever, jorhead, Taske_Himara, Croire, SPIDER1, supercurrymax and Kitty_the_Squid didn't believe in the LAW.

Or you could hold off until near the end of the match and then vote for Cloud if the match is not close at all.
