if you do, add options for bracket-voting

This - I voted for Riku purely because of my bracket, as I don't particularly like or dislike either of these characters.

Auron over Lucina with 65.04%
Vincent Valentine over Magus with 53.93%
Sub-Zero over Shulk with 61.21%
Claire Redfield over Ren Amamiya with 55.15%

Thank you for taking the time to answer all my questions!

I'm still not convinced about Lloyd. His durability is evidently impressive and better than Sonic's, and he has the technical prowess, but I think he would struggle to get more than a hit or two in on Sonic, especially taking into account his multiple methods of slowing time. Plus, the Caliburn seems to nullify Lloyd's strength advantage. I also don't think this terrain affects things very much, since it's not particularly tight and doesn't seen to be somewhere where Sonic could play a knockback game to win.

Sorry for all these questions, but one last thing I'm unsure about:

Does Lumina Cloth really have an endless abyss surrounding it, like in that Minecraft screenshot, or are there other areas surrounding it that are simply inaccessible?

Another thing I'm curious about - how might this terrain affect the match? So far, all I've seen people discussing is Sonic and Lloyd's respective attributes.

Actually I just realized that @HaRRicH might want to do a guest write-up for that match. If so, I'll let him have it and choose another one instead.

You're very kind to offer, thank you. I would be pleased to see Metal Man's write-up from someone as statistically metal-minded as yourself.

Why thank you! Hopefully I can do your Man some justice!

What is Lloyd's durability like, anyways?

Pepsiman
Tom
Daddy
Oak

I actually bet $30,200 on a Geralt/Pac-Man parlay, not $30,000. Sorry it's such a minor difference!

Also, I'll bet 50% on a two-match parlay on Magus and Claire Redfield.

I'm heavily inclined to favor Sonic here, but I don't know what Lloyd's capabilities are, so I'll hold off on voting.

Edit: Oh, ninja'd. I'm still not sure after that.

Yea sorry my first save was early so your Yoshi save actually counted

No big deal, I was the one who wasn't paying attention to your posts and save times.

Uh ok then

I wanted to pick up on scaryice's post, because I noticed just how similar the brackets of the five users they mentioned are:

Altogether, those five brackets only differ on a select few picks, with very similar broad strokes, most notably taking Sans very far in the losers bracket only to have him losing to Link.

Specifically, those differences are the following six, as far as I can tell:
1. puseecat, princeton_boy, and reggaeton_reina picked Aerith in Rounds 1-3, while cloelea and demphra picked Waluigi in the same three rounds - the only difference all five brackets have before the legends and losers rounds.
2. puseecat, cloelea, and reggaeton_reina picked Mario in the last match of Legends Round 1, while demphra and princeton_boy picked Sephiroth in the same match.
3. puseecat alone picked Pokmon Trainer Red in the second match Losers Round 1, while the other four all picked Crono there.
4. puseecat and cloelea picked Samus in the last match of Losers Round 1, while demphra and princeton_boy picked Mario there, and reggaeton_reina picked Sephiroth.
5. puseecat and cloelea picked Mario in the last match of Losers Round 2, while demphra, princeton_boy, and reggaeton_reina all picked Sephiroth there.
6. puseecat solely picked Cloud in the first match of Losers Round 3, while the other four all picked Mega Man.

Finally, puseecat, cloelea, and demphra all have identical tiebreakers of 150000. Meanwhile, princeton_boy's tiebreaker is 155000, and reggaeton_reina's is 1500000.

Geralt over Rosalina with 62.08%
Ryu Hayabusa over Simon Belmont with 55.10%
Pac-Man over Sans with 64.19%
Riku over Bayonetta with 51.60%

$30,200 on a two-match parlay on Geralt and Pac-Man.

That's what I'm also thinking, but better safe than sorry.

Are alts allowed to participate in the Oracle alongside their mains, as two separate entrants?

I ask because POOTERSS is a SuperNiceDog alt.

I'm doubtful Waluigi would get one, and he's a cool character so I wouldn't be too upset if he did, and I doubt the Undertale fandom is united enough 3 years later to do anything for Sans, although I do think he has enough natural strength to beat Pac-Man.

So in other words, you think Sans would 60-40 Pac-Man if he managed to avoid any anti-votes? I must say, that's an incredibly bold pick.

I picked Geralt to beat Zelda and Sonic in the loser's bracket, partially due to rally potential.

Obvious things like which people like which gifts, as well as certain more obscure secrets Stardew Valley has. You're right, the game is generally signposted well, but it's not universal.
