As far as how predictable it was. I'm not saying on a personal level, because I made a few dumb mistakes, I just mean on the whole. Think about it, there will most definitely be multiple perfect brackets by the end of the contest. That's never ever happened before. Except for a few close ones, each and every battle has been obvious. I made 5 mistakes in the first round and one in the second, and will likely run the table on the rest of the contest, but I won't come close to winning. In past contests that probably would have won or come very close.

Not complaining though, just saying it's crazy. It kinda irks me though when I see perfect bracket/battle people agonizing over when pokemon can beat street fighter. I mean, come on now.

Yep. The guru cookie going perfect for as long as it did was kind of outrageous.

I'm hoping for an awesome final week of upsets and stuff to make it better.

I made most/all of my mistakes because I had the mindset of "well there have to be a few upsets"

oh well

There's still 4-5 debatable matches left I'd say, they may all have clear favorites but there's still a decent likelihood there won't be a perfect bracket. Especially considering Ryu was the bracket favorite today and Frog is the bracket favorite in his match.

Samus/Bosses
Alucard/Frog
Mario/Pokemon
Link/Cloud

Indeed, the guru cookie being perfect for as long as it was perfectly illustrates my point.

Samus/Bosses - Samus wins
Alucard/Frog - Frog wins
Mario/Pokemon - Mario wins
Link/Cloud - Link wins

There. Not really hard. Only slightly debatable one left is Samus/Bosses. But I think Samus takes it.

There's only two debatable matches left, Alucard/Frog and Samus/Charizard.

Maybe the Gurus are just that good.

You don't think Alucard/Frog is debatable, but that Frog wins? You know Alucard is a big favorite now, right?

I have the Pokémon trainers beating Mario, and it's solely because I know that the only way to win this is to pick some unlikely upsets and hope they happen.

Actually, Frog/Magus is the Cookie pick.

Yes, like Ryu/Ken was the cookie pick today. But the current consensus is that Alucard will win, much like the Pokemon Trainers had that consensus before this match started.

Consensus from who? I'm telling you this isn't really a hard pick. I would be betting all of my battle points on it if I was still perfect.

Guess we're not gonna have as many perfects at the end as I thought then.

I do think there will be a perfect bracket and a flawless battle pick at the end of the day. Not sure how many though.

Looking at the Guru, Granzon seems like the only one that has probably more than a -enter arbitrary percentage amount here- chance at a perfect. He still needs Red/Blue to defeat Mario/Bowser though.

Some Guru's have what looks like to be the final four, but have Frog/Magus going to the final eight. Others have Cloud winning. I'd say someone out there might have the perfect bracket, mine probably would have been perfect had I not made some last minute changes I deeply regret. So, I don't think it's too farfetched that someone had the same thought process as me, but didn't make the last minute changes.

Is this contest even more predictable than the Villains Contest was? I didn't think that was possible.

We need a 256 game, 4-way matches twice a day contest >_> That'd be pretty unpredictable.

Yes, I know lol fourways etc etc.

Let's ding these off as we get to them just to prove my point further:

Samus/Bosses - Samus wins DING
Alucard/Frog - Frog wins
Mario/Pokemon - Mario wins
Link/Cloud - Link wins

The most predictable contest we've ever had before this one was the Series Contest, the only contest to date where anyone had a perfect bracket.

This contest will likely change that unless literally every result in the last few rounds is an upset.

I like how Samus vs. Ridley is beating Big Boss vs. The Boss because NintendoFAQs, even though Samus/Ridley isn't a rivalry, at all.

*Spoilers!*

The final battle will be Link vs. Mario, because NintendoFAQs, even though they have even less of a rivalry than Samus and Ridley. Not sure who will win out of those, but who gives a ****. Nintendo is only relevant to people who play Bejeweled and Angry Birds now.

Villains contest had Master Hand, which is more excitement than any other match thus far.

The best part of that was FourthDeus, who carried the link, along with "Never Forget. Never Forgive." in his sig for years

my shun_golden_sun account is a mere tribute to that.

Yeah, this contest has been pretty awful. It still has a chance to redeem itself a bit though if a few late round upsets happen.
