You may be confused by my "Effective Record" term. For the simplicity's sake, looking good against competition that has no place being anywhere near the tournament isn't going to get you any points in my book. This is to prevent games from having a shiny record against a bunch of nothing and being rewarded for it. I'd actually like to thank Tsunami for choosing Sonic Adventure 2 first, because no game better represents my style than it. With losses against it's only two top 75 competition, Sonic Adventure 2 can't be saved from its soft schedule, although I noted DMC3 as a key win since it sits at #76, and thus is close to joining in the 50-75 parade. However, with Hotel Dusk and an unknown as the remaining non-conference opponents, it will be nearly impossible for Sonic Adventure 2 to get a vote of confidence from me without a quality conference performance, where I see a potential 8 losses (9 including failure to win the conference tournament). Good luck to Sonic Adventure 2, but right now it is the very definition of a game that would be safely in under the old system but instead finds itself firmly on the bubble.
Too Long, Didn't Read: BUBBLE, leaning OUT
