* 2010 Guru Rankings, Stats, and Analysis * 2

Fett0001 | Posted 2/2/2010 10:42:39 PM | message detail
Good news, everyone! The Guru site for the '10 season is now up and running!

http://thengamer.com/guru/

First off, a big round of applause for fett, jose, and Spike, our three tireless workers who entered an astounding 220+ brackets for this season- easily a new Guru record!

As for the features on the site, you should be used to most of them by now if you participated in the Guru last season. There have been a few tweaks however- one is that due to popular demand I've decided to list the "Guru Cookie" on the rankings this season. (The Cookie is the most "cookie cutter" bracket possible, aka it always selects our most popular choice for each match.) HOWEVER, the Cookie will not cost anyone a ranking position; for instance it's tied for first right now, but listed in "0th" place so that Leon gets to keep the #1 next to his name.

Some returning features:

* click any user's name anywhere on the site to see their bracket

* you can re-sort the main page by score (default), TB, risks, their pick in the current match, Dead/Alive status, or even alphabetically by username- just click the headers

* currently "Today's Pick" is pointing to Match 5, Luigi vs Meta Knight. if you'd rather see everyone's pick for the next match, change the dropdown to "6" and hit the button- now you see all the picks for Shadow vs Ammy!

* any pick anywhere on the site that goes against the Guru Cookie is rewarded with red text


But surely the most popular feature of all are those Guru Stats! You can check them at any time by clicking "Matchup Stats" on top, which takes you to

http://thengamer.com/guru/stats.php

Here we have the listing of every match along with how many brackets picked each possible winner.

NEW FEATURE! Handy color coded text on the left to remind you whether that poll will be a Day Match, Night Match, or 24 hour poll.

OLD FEATURE! Click the "Who Picked Whom" button to see the complete listing of what users selected each winner in their brackets.
---


So be sure to tag this topic and follow along with our daily updates on the Leaderboard, the Upset Watch, and (coming soon) Eliminations!

Also, don't forget to click your own name on the front page to confirm that your bracket is 100% accurate.


Happy Guruing!

Depends on how many are alive, but at that point there will be a a max of like 8 people left running combinations of Charizard/Kratos/Sora, Snake/Sephiroth and Link/Cloud.

Maybe a couple of Snake > Cloud crazies as well.

That probably won't be enough to kill your bracket but I've only glanced over a couple brackets. If WCC beats The Boss and Charizard beats L-Block, you'll only tie me at best even if your Ryu > Dante and Ryu > Leon come through. If Ness beats Big Daddy in Round 2 as well, I eliminate you (or someone else if I'm dead at that point).

Can someone check and see if I'm eliminated once Kratos loses to The Zard? I also have Drake winning his round 2 match, if it matters.

That probably won't be enough to kill your bracket but I've only glanced over a couple brackets. If WCC beats The Boss and Charizard beats L-Block, you'll only tie me at best even if your Ryu > Dante and Ryu > Leon come through. If Ness beats Big Daddy in Round 2 as well, I eliminate you (or someone else if I'm dead at that point).


I actually think Soap will win this fourpack. Someone is bound to make a helmet picture.

The following will be eliminated with a Vault Boy win:

And here's your competition Ghmt:

2TheBoss/(2Liquid)/2Ryu
3Ryu
5Snake

39 Guess how many teens
Sackboy
2TheBoss/(2Liquid)/!2Sub!/2Ryu

So you're looking pretty good if Sackboy wins, probably alive until Ryu/Dante unless another Snake bracket does really well. You're out if Sackboy loses though. Down 3 with only SubZero to pick up points on.

Xuxon | Posted 2/6/2010 4:02:38 PM | message detail
Because you have less points now, and the only possible way for you to catch up is if Leon wins in round 3. At least, that's what I would guess without actually looking at your brackets.

Lieutenant Kettch | Posted 2/6/2010 4:09:51 PM | message detail
Yep, these are your brackets:

40 gob126
Soap
2Charizard
3Charizard
5Snake

35 Dante
Terra
(2Nathan)/(2Donkey)/2Charizard/2Falcon
3Charizard/3Leon
5Snake

So without the Leon upset you can only make up 4 of the 5 points you need on the Soap/Terra/Falcon matches.

Aww yeah, nice to see I'm doing fairly well in this contest for a change. I guess 3.5 eliminations are a sign of that. Still, I kind of feel the need to personally apologize to those I eliminated-I feel for you. IMO it is the worst part of these contests-early eliminations and lack of ability to change/adapt to past mistakes. At least spread betting and the oracle kind of alleviate that problem!

Oh, and IMO Dr_Football is still an UNSTOPPABLE BRACKET-MAKING MONSTER! This is true for the same reason that Leon must still be stopped...

There's a very good chance that you'll knock out Leon. Terra>Revan, Vivi>Altair, Master Chief>RyuH, Sub-Zero>Roxas. Any one of those would knock him out, best he can do is tie you. :P You have to get really lucky to survive for long with no 3rd round upsets.

On that note, here is how the brackets are doing based on what their highest round upset is:

No upsets: Eliminated - 1, Alive - 0 : 0%

Your bracket is doing ok still, though this obviously doesn't help. We do need you to clarify who you have winning Sora/Bowser and then that division though. Right now your guru bracket has Sora > Bowser and then Bowser > Kratos.

From: Scott_Pilgrim | #148

I posted your competition earlier:

49 alblito
2RyuH/2Charizard/!2Sub!/2Ryu
3Ganon/3Charizard/3Leon
4Ganon

46 Scott Pilgrim
Terra/Soap
2Red/2Zidane/2Charizard/(2Phoenix)/2Yoshi/2Soap
3Ganon/3Charizard/3Leon
4Ganon

So, losing those 3 matches puts you down 9 points. You can then pick up 12 points with Terra/Soap and Zidane/Master Chief/Dante/Yoshi/Soap.

Your bracket is doing ok still, though this obviously doesn't help. We do need you to clarify who you have winning Sora/Bowser and then that division though. Right now your guru bracket has Sora > Bowser and then Bowser > Kratos.

hmm odd, well it's definitely Bowser > Sora. I was right with Aries>Auron...in Asia :(

From: Guess how many teens | #151
Is it allowed to have differences between guru bracket and official bracket? Looks like I have a difference but am pretty sure it was a missclick in my bracket(the new clicking system really is allows to make lots of mistakes :() and my Guru bracket was the pick I intended.

I do remember Smurf last year doing a good run without a real bracket in the Guru so I guess no biggie?


On Ngamer to make that decision.

Assuming this match hold up, the next possible elimination will be Crono/Missingno. It's a pretty flukey elimination too:

48 RockMFR
Missingno/Soap
(2Mewtwo)/2Zidane/(2Duke)/(2Phoenix)/2Ryu/2Missingno/2Soap
3WCC/(3Mewtwo)/(3Duke)/3Ryu/3Missingno
(4Mewtwo)/4Missingno
5Missingno
6Missingno
7Missingno

48 Menji
Soap
2Zidane/2Charizard/(2Phoenix)/2Ryu/2Soap
3WCC/3Charizard/3Ryu
5Snake

All those upsets and Rock can't pick up a single point on Menji if Missingno loses.

If MMX beats Red, Master Chief beats Ryu Hayabusa or Ness beats Big Daddy, you'll be eliminated. I believe if Sub-Zero and Jecht both win in Round 2, you'll be eliminated as well. It's definitely not looking too great.

Yeah, a cookie first round doesn't really matter much.

49 blindhobo
Peach
2Red/(2Liquid)/2Charizard/!2Sub!/(2Phoenix)
3Charizard/3Auron

50 Draco
(2Liquid)/2RyuH/2Charizard/!2Sub!/2BigDaddy
3Charizard/3Auron

You're looking fine there. Biggest danger is probably TRE:

51 Team Rocket Elite
2Charizard/!2Sub!
3Charizard

So you need to get 1 of RyuH or Big Daddy right to survive passed the second round. Otherwise he'll have a 5+ lead on you which will cover the Auron pick.

You're tied for 20th and have one of the strongest brackets in your area. You can even miss Auron>Squall and be alright. You definitely need Charizard and Kirby to come through though.

Pretty much what Lieutenant Kettch said. I don't see anything immediately threatening to your bracket. You have a decently high score and your Kirby, Auron and Charizard pick comibination isn't that common. A lot of your nearest competition also went for Snake over Sephiroth which makes it hard for them to eliminate you before that match actually resolves.

Toad Yoshi is too much of a cookie to be making this much eliminations :(

why do you think he's eliminating people?


The recipe for eliminating people is to turn in a mostly cookie bracket, then get a lot of early upsets correct. This way you have more points than other people and many of the same later round picks, covering either result.

Then almost everything went right for me in the early matches. If it hadn't, I would have probably been eliminated early.

And for the record, I didn't know I was turning in such a cookie when I entered my bracket. I put in what upsets I was confident of-Sub-Zero, Sackboy, Terra, and went from there. Don't worry, it will probably cost me with Charizard and possibly Ryu.

Assuming Gordon holds on, we have these brackets up next:

The following will be eliminated with a Mega Man X win:
ChichiriMuyo (Team Rocket Elite)
red sox (Team Rocket Elite)

Also Ngamer, I think you missed my posts for Harrich being eliminated with Eddie Riggs losing and MasterofHunters being eliminated with Simon losing. They're still listed as alive on the site.

And time for some new stats with the second round starting. Here's how the brackets are doing based on their latest round upset:

No upsets: Eliminated - 1, Alive - 0 : 0%
1st Round: Eliminated - 1, Alive - 0 : 0%
2nd Round: Eliminated - 20, Alive - 3 : 13%
3rd Round: Eliminated - 10, Alive - 39 : 80%
4th Round: Eliminated - 3, Alive - 47 : 94%
5th Round: Eliminated - 5, Alive - 69 : 93%
6th Round: Eliminated - 0, Alive - 23 : 100%
7th Round: Eliminated - 0, Alive - 8 : 100%

51 of the remaining brackets have competition with an identical 3rd Round+. The other 138 are unique 3rd Round+ brackets. Only 22 brackets have a unique 4th Round+.

These are the only 3 "cookie" brackets remaining, with no upsets passed the second round:

60 ToadYoshi
!2Sub!/2BigDaddy

58 KanzarisKelshen
2TheBoss/(2Liquid)/!2Sub!

56 KrahenProphet
2Altair

And because ToadYoshi has been so good at knocking out the cookies, the only grouping with more than 4 brackets is the Ryu cookie group, of which there are 9 still alive:

59 TheKoolAidShoto
(2Liquid)/!2Sub!/2Ryu
3Ryu

58 Ulti
(2Nathan)/!2Sub!/2Ryu/2BigDaddy
3Ryu

58 supdawg
(2Nathan)/2Altair/2Zidane/(2Phoenix)/2Ryu
3Ryu

57 swirldude
2TheBoss/2Ryu
3Ryu

57 Black Turtle
!2Roxas!/2Ryu/(2Soap)
3Ryu

56 Sir Chris
(2Nathan)/!2Sub!/2Ryu/2Shepard
3Ryu

56 voltch
2TheBoss/2Zidane/2Ryu/2BigDaddy
3Ryu

56 Xuxon
2RyuH/!2Sub!/(2Phoenix)/2Ryu/2BigDaddy

56 Croy

Here you go:

59 Draco

3Charizard/3Auron

56 Random
(2Ocelot)/2TheBoss/(2Liquid)/(2Arthas)/2Charizard/!2Sub!/2Ratchet/2Gordon
3Charizard/3Auron/3Gordon

So assuming Tifa wins this round and next, you'll be down 9 and you can only make up 8. At the very least you need Tifa to lose before the division finals.

Vivi/Altair isn't all that huge for you. Only two nearby brackets have Altair, and both have other upsets to make up ground on.

Sub-Zero and Big Daddy winning means you knock out the Charizard>Sora cookie, despite Gordon.

63 Iubaris
2Charizard
3Charizard
4Charizard

66 nintendogirl
2Charizard/!2Sub!/2BigDaddy/2Gordon
3Charizard/3Gordon
4Charizard

Zidane/Ike a big one though. Zidane winning means you need Tifa to lose.

64 TheOlympicHero
2Zidane/2Charizard
3Charizard

Here's your only competition:

Truly a toss-up match then. ToadYoshi has gotten rid of all the other 3rd Round+ cookies now, so he'll have to get a decent sized lead on people to eliminate more.

The following will be eliminated with an Ike win:
WazzupGenius (Team Rocket Elite)
votch (Ulti)
Kotetsu (Jmast)
Lt Kettch (Wigs)
AsurasKordoth (Wigs)
TheOlympicHero (Iubaris)
Korayashi (paulg)
Scott Pilgrim (alblito)
kangle (Cecil XIX/JustForFun)
mentalmike (LinkLegend)
General_Zimbad (Harmonica)
edwardsdv (Me_Pie_Three)
Space-breaker (Iamthekuzalol)

The following will be eliminated with a Zidane win:

Wigs (Lt Kettch)
demphra (Lt Kettch)
Iubaris (TheOlympicHero)
The Rye (tnote)

Our first two Head-to-Head eliminations here.

Zidane/Ike is a pretty important match for you. Ike winning means you can survive Charizard beating Kratos/L-Block, Zidane wins and you need Charizard to lose somewhere.

Agent M can knock you out if Charizard and Ryu win. Luis can knock you out if Yoshi and Ness both win. Otherwise I'm pretty sure you at least stay alive til round 3, though someone with Ganon/Bowser could knock you out in Ganon's match I think.

Kefka or Isaac pulling off a surprise could eliminate some people, but those seem pretty unlikely so here's Charizard/Kratos assuming we get Sora/Bowser/L-Block wins:

The following will be eliminated with a Charizard win:
Gr8CyberMonkey (Team Rocket Elite)
Hellfire (paratroopa)
Dranze (Draco)
Caelus (Draco)
linkhatesganon (Agent M)
SensiShadeSlaye (transience)
Wyvlane (Xuxon/Ulti)
Yoshifan823 (Wigs)
Redtooth (Wigs)
Lagoona (nintendogirl)
dragoncrazer (XxSoulxX)
rar123 (Ness)
ff6man (alblito)
Future (gob126)
Minipoooot (gob126)
TVontheRadio (Yoblazer)
Guess how many teens (Yoblazer)
RPGGamer (Yoblazer)
JustForFun (Yoblazer)
ImNotPonyta (Ngamer OR LinkLegend)
Djungleurban (Dr Football)
tnote (Dr Football)
SSBM_Guy (Dr Football)
The Rye (andylt)
GunMage (Iamthekuzalol)
KingBartz (Iamthekuzalol)
Denzokuken (Zylo the wolf)

The following will be eliminated with a Kratos win:
Team Rocket Elite (ToadYoshi)
Wigs (TheKoolAidShoto)
demphra (Xuxon/Ulti)
Draco (Jmast/Dranze)
TOMBOLOL (ToadYoshi)
Random (Jmast)
Curt (Xuxon)
KeepOnSmashing (Xuxon)
Topstorm (linkhatesganon)
WalrusJump (Luis_Sera)
MoogleKupo (Agent M)
Iubaris (ToadYoshi)
Extha (Xuxon)
Quasar_In_Space (transience)
captaincanadian (transience)
Lockes Ragnarok (JustForFun)
XIII_rocks (LinkLegend)
Articuno (Harmonica)
The Shadow (GunMage OR MajinZidane)

An OR means they're guaranteed to be eliminated by one of them, since L-Block or the winner of this match will win the next round. Fairly complicated eliminations this time compared to the usual, so there could be a mistake or two. I'll confirm and correct anything I notice after the match.

From: MoogleKupo141 | #386

Charizard, Ryu, Gordon and Bowser are all multiple round upsets keeping you alive. Two Tifa wins would knock you out though, so you're pretty much gone.

You can still pick up two points with Ness to take the lead. You need Roxas and Ryu Hayabusa to win as well though to avoid dropping back down below ToadYoshi.

Charizard is important, but assuming he wins you've got these brackets near you:

79 kinsho
2Charizard/!2Sub!/(2Phoenix)
3Charizard
4Kirby

78 Ness
2Charizard
3Charizard/3Leon
4Kirby

78 XxSoulxX
2Charizard/!2Sub!
3Charizard/3Auron

So Leon or Auron taking their round 3 matches would knock you out.

I was pretty confident in Charizard but whenever a character winning would cause ToadYoshi to eliminate someone, that character wins. The only exception is Geno and that's only because Ness winning still let ToadYoshi eliminate someone.

You're doing a lot better than the other Kirby/Bowser/Snake people. Here's the closest one:

73 Durandi
2Charizard
3Bowser/3Charizard
4Kirby/4Bowser
5Snake

79 tazzyboyishere
2Isaac/!2Sub!/2Ryu/2Zero/2Gordon
3Bowser/3Ryu/3Gordon
4Kirby/4Bowser

Let's assume Isaac loses, Sub-Zero wins, Charizard wins twice, Tifa wins twice. You're down 6 there with Ryu and Zero this round and Ryu next round left, so you'd need all of those to stay alive.

The brackets with L-Block taking the division are doing really poorly. So you can still beat them out, along with everyone else, if L-Block beats Charizard and Bowser. Ngirl is in a similar situation if Kratos wins. Either of you would be gone if Sora, Bowser or Charizard/Kratos (the one you don't have) take the division so it would just be L-Block keeping you around.

Denzo doesn't have Sub-Zero winning in round 2, so as long as Sub-Zero wins and Sora doesn't win the division, you'd beat him even with a Charizard loss.

I have no idea how eliminations work but Kratos is my favorite character in the contest.

I've been hoping GoW3 hype will carry him through (plus he beat Cloud in the gamespot contest). Kratos ftw... but if it doesn't happen, I couldn't have picked a better match to be eliminated by.

The following will be eliminated with a Sub-Zero win:

Assuming Sub-Zero wins, you'll need both L-Block and Auron to come through.

So, assuming Zelda wins two matches, you're down 14. You can then pick up a total of 14 with Falcon, Missingno, and Ness this round, along with Bowser and Leon next round. If Sub-Zero wins today though, you'll be relying on Zelda to lose to somebody.
