So how many positions were needed to be filled then? Up for debate until whenever THE BRACKET is revealed?

So time for the ol "How long after the vote ins last year did it take for the bracket?"

Wow, I didn't expect that there would only be 3 days of vote-ins.

Bacon probably wanted to get it done with so he can put the bracket out before the weekend.

Since today's poll was a re-run of a past poll, I could have attempted to see what today's poll was (before it started) going to be, but I didn't bother to do that as I figured there would be another vote-in.

NGamer, Yoblazer: Any plans on doing another season of ''The Show'' for this contest?

Apparently, Bacon is online right now. I don't know if it has anything to do with the bracket.

I would say most likely, they'll probably do Ep 1 around the time predix start

though I guess there's that small chance they won't since they don't like the contest idea much and the bracket could suck balls but who knows

Well this doesn't help its case for getting a bracket before the weekend, but it should be easier to make a bracket if its only 64 entrants

Would like to, but ehhh. We'll reassess our interest levels after this bracket comes up.

You should search for The Show, the cool podcast featuring Guru Champ Black Turtle!

Here's a quick spreadsheet of the top 20 options, ranked both by percentage and total votes.

Black! Turtle! Kooloo-LimPAH! The Guru Champion!

For every contest except Character Battle VII where the bracket was released on a Thrusday, SBAllen has opened Bracket predictions on Tuesday. (For Best. Game. Ever. 2009 he released the bracket on Friday for Add/Remove with the final bracket going up on the following Tuesday.)

So because they weren't in vote-ins can we assume that Barkley/Jordan made the bracket?

--
http://img.imgcake.com/nio/2bigwigpngut.png

I'm expecting between 12-16

Big Boss vs The Boss
Crono vs Lavos
Leon Kennedy vs Ada Wong
William B.J. Blazkowicz vs Adolf Hitler
Raiden vs. Vamp
Katherine vs. Catherine
Gordon Freeman vs Dr. Breen
Banjo vs. Gruntilda
Yuna vs. Seymour Guado
Arthas vs. Illidan
Lloyd Irving vs. Kratos Aurion
Jim Raynor vs Sarah Kerrigan
Captain Falcon vs Black Shadow
Raziel vs Kain
Laharl vs. Mid-Boss
The Kid vs The Guy

Pretty good group I guess

BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls
Congratulations to Black Turtle for winning the guru contest.

I'd wager that Barkley/Jordan, Mario/Sonic, MMX/Zero, and MM/Proto all easily scored enough noms to make the bracket. But whether they were outlawed/beaten by Bowser/beaten by Sigma/beaten by Wily is another matter entirely...

If you are reading this signature, then you are wasting a great deal of your time.

I'm expecting between 12-16

Big Boss vs The Boss
Crono vs Lavos
Leon Kennedy vs Ada Wong
William B.J. Blazkowicz vs Adolf Hitler
Raiden vs. Vamp
Katherine vs. Catherine
Gordon Freeman vs Dr. Breen
Banjo vs. Gruntilda
Yuna vs. Seymour Guado
Arthas vs. Illidan
Lloyd Irving vs. Kratos Aurion
Jim Raynor vs Sarah Kerrigan
Captain Falcon vs Black Shadow
Raziel vs Kain
Laharl vs. Mid-Boss
The Kid vs The Guy

Pretty good group I guess

And if Bacon uses vote totals, as he did in GotD, we'd get:

Big Boss vs The Boss
Crono vs Lavos
Raiden vs. Vamp
William B.J. Blazkowicz vs Adolf Hitler
Banjo vs. Gruntilda
Katherine vs. Catherine
Yuna vs. Seymour Guado
Arthas vs. Illidan
Gordon Freeman vs Dr. Breen
Lloyd Irving vs. Kratos Aurion
Laharl vs. Mid-Boss
-------Captain Falcon vs Black Shadow
The Kid vs The Guy
Jim Raynor vs Sarah Kerrigan
Earthworm Jim vs. Queen Slug-for-a-Butt


Both lists are obviously pretty similar, but Raziel/Kain would lose their spot if we do Top 16 (replaced by EWJ/QSFAB), and Jim Raynor/Kerrigan drops out of the Top 12 (repaced by Laharl/Mid-Boss)

Support Bahamut if we ever get another real contest.

Does 64 entrants mean eight divisions of eight?

--
"Getting lucky 100% of the time... it's called PRO SKILL."
-BlAcK TuRtLe

I don't know if we will have 4 divisions or 8 divisions. 4 divisions would mean 8 matches for each division and the seeding would be a 1-16 system. 8 divisions means only 4 matches for each division and the 1-8 seeding system is used.

Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ!

So Captain/CATS made it?

--
Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Black Turtle > Me

I doubt it. I checked the nomination tally topic and Captain/CATS only had 14 nominations. Which isn't enough to make it into a vote-in (or even the bracket).

--

So Serge got more noms than Crono.

Excellent.

This page might be the only way to monitor if the bracket is up before the bracket is officially announced:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/contribute/submit_contest_image.php

It still says "Game of the Decade" on that page, so we need to watch if that name changes. Also, the dropdown list of matches should change when the bracket is completed. I don't know if that is actually going to happen, or if match picture submissions will start being accepted later on after the bracket is announced.

It would be funny if SB still hasnt found a "good" name for the contest and is going to stall the bracket till then

I would like to hear that. I think Ulti and NG could have some good back-and-forths.

Nominate E P O N A.

Phoenix Wright will require his Ultimate trailer to come out in time for the match to win.

NYCC is next week, though, so there's plenty of time for that.

Woo, get to take Samus/Ridley to the semi-finals. Don't think the Pokemon Trainers will have enough to take them out.

--
"Eet's game time..."

Man I really really really really really want Chell vs. GLaDOS to win because I just finished Portal 2 last night and yessssssssssssssssssss.

Stupid Link/Ganon in the way though.

--
~Acting on Impulse~
Black Turtle still didn't MAJORA'S MASK

So, on the plus side, we're finally getting Mario/Sonic. On the negative side, Link gets another free win. :-/

This bracket is a lot better than I expected it to be.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

Wow @ Crono falling so far that he is now R1 Snake fodder

i like this bracket, I didn't really bash the contest during the nom phase and I'm satisfied with the matchups shown.

Vote for this guy in every contest: ZFS

Did my usual "blow through the bracket with minimal thought as it first comes out" bracket before my serious one. I've got Link/Ganon > Mario/Bowser, but I'm really considering pulling the trigger on Pokemon Trainers over Mario/Bowser later on. Anyone else feel like that could be surprisingly strong?

Yeah, Crono out in round 1 in back-to-back contests.

lol

--
"Eet's game time..."

I like that Frog/Magus will make it much further than Crono will!

Suggesting contest names like a boss by the way.

I've got Frog/Magus losing in Round 1.

--
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

I've been talking about that with Leon we speculated that the only real rivalry in that game was Frog/Magus and people would just "forget" who crono's rival was supposed to be.
