Lloyd is falling back to where he was before. He better not lose the match somehow.

Wesker just gained in the last update. It all depends on how each performs in the day at this rate.

"Updates Left: 90

And now Lloyd gets a bad update.

Well other then the fact that I don't think frog was in 2k3 anwyays.

I worded that poorly...I meant suspiciously close to Magus's 2k3 version.
From: Tjian | Posted: 7/22/2005 1:44:00 AM | Message Detail
Or Wesker just has alot of bracket support for some reason.

Sidenote, I left a post on tales.namco board. Go Lloyd!

I saw a couple of posts on other boards of people saying Wesker was a lock to get to Mario. it sounds nuts, but it's possible he'll have bracket support.

Wesker had 55.91% backing against Luca Blight. It would be insane to think Wesker would have the bracket advantage on Lloyd. So he probably does.

I still don't get it. How is this Lloyd person more popular than Wesker? I could swear more people know, and like, Wesker. Then again, it could just be a Gamefaqs thing.

Pretty much the same as the previous update.

2:15
Ness vs CJ - 8841
Lloyd vs Wesker - 8483

Falling way behind now.

And with that I'm off to sleep.

I can't believe Lloyd is actually starting to lose his lead. Resident evil is the most unpredictable thing ever in this contest.

Maybe, but it well take forever to finish unless two or three people rush it to the end. 6-8:30 or so are the completely dead hours on every board on gamefaqs.

Oh, and guys... one thing you must rememebr is that the average bracket maker has no clue that Kefka is weak. They, like us in 2k3, assume he should be uber powerful and never seem to learn. Look as how many people had him going to Ganon in the spring after he lose to Knux in round 1 last year (and the brackets supported ihm then, too). They may never learn, and by extension Wesker isn't considered to be uber weak meaning he probably should have the bracket advantage here.

From: ChichiriMuyo | Posted: 7/22/2005 2:48:54 AM | Message Detail
Yeah. I figured he'd beat Wesker since Mithos would and that Kratos had no shot at Diablo from the second I saw them in the bracket. The ToS characters made for the easiest picks of the newbs, excepting Tifa.

I wanna know how Kefka went from being the underdog against Pac-Man among bracket makers to being as overestimated as he is now. Did people say "OMG HE BEAT PAC-MAN!" and suddenly think he was strong as hell? Whhhhhhy?

So like, what, 25ish more to go, ya? I'm sure we'll do that before too long. It's the closest match yet (and a close one most of us didn't see coming) this year, and should remain as so for nearly a week. Oh, and Zelda vs. Vivi is going to kill me... I have to root for a character I like significantly less to win to protect my bracket... I hate matches like that. Either way I'm voting for Vivi though, cause I don't think the match will be undecided at any point, really. I love Vivi, but this is considerably Zelda's match to lose regardless of what many of you say.

Status = nothing.

From: dragoontheguy | Posted: 7/22/2005 2:53:54 AM | Message Detail
I think all the casual bracket maker is aware of is that nintendo and square are both strong. That's my guess as to why even the weak nintendo and square characters have high prediction percentages when facing characters outside the two companies.

No proof of that yet, though it's quite possible for Hayabusa to be above Lloyd.

I'd take Strider over both of them combined... damn his absence. Why'd you peeople have to rally around Lloyd when Strider may have been as little as a dozen votes off (being the highest nominated character on the board not to make the contest)?

From: dragoontheguy | Posted: 7/22/2005 2:58:25 AM | Message Detail
Yeah there isn't any real proof to my statement, I was just thinking that when I looked at 51% forseeing Ness beating CJ. Then again a lot more people have played earthbound then we realize. Emulation cause a good number of people to be exposed to it for the first time every year. Same thing goes for CT.

Well, the fact of the matter is that Ness is in SSBM. That makes him a force... and I think we've all underestimated him everytime he's been up to bat. I know he was underestimated last year, but a handful of people listened when I reminded them that the only thing that Samus had to keeping going after 7 years was SSB/M (though obviously Metroid was more meaningful to begin with). It really is a house, and having supported SSB might in my brackets every year I'm saddened that I missed this one (though I'm glad to see CJ get punked, especially since he's been talked about as a contest hopeful since long before SA came out).

I haven't read any other comments, but HOLY **** HOLY ****. Unless Angel Kefka really made a difference, it seems Mithos > Lloyd. But even with that, Wesker through Luca was only projected to do as well as Mithos, so Mithos and Lloyd seem to be very close regardless. So much for Kratos over Diablo, eh?

Oh, and Wesker still needs his skin checked.

Lloyd is increasing his lead but not all that fast (he sometimes loses the updates too). I doubt he's going to get a 6% increase like Mithos. So Lloyd must really be <= Mithos.
