Hmm...So I just noticed that Victor Sullivan is listed as "Sully" on the poll on the front page.

I think this means there's a good chance Ren will be listed as "Joker" on the front page during his match.

probably still boned with that pic though

He could just as easily be "Ren" though. On the other hand, Claire will probably lose her last name, which considering her picture is awful too, could end up being not so hot for her.

Well, I do wonder if not having their full names hurts certain characters. Like if you've never played Uncharted, you have no idea who "Sully" is.

nah if SBAllen wanted to be lazy he'd have just listed him as "Victor"

like I said though I do think there are some drawbacks to not listing the full name of a character, especially considering how bad some of these pics will be

it would definitely help Joker though

He's known popularly as Sully because that's his nickname in the games. I don't even play Uncharted and I know this.

I mean, it'd be a huge upset, I'm taking it purely betting on Auron and Vincent falling off hard.

Even non-lawyer Vincent looked bad last time around.

He is listed as Victor Sullivan in the R1 part of the bracket but "Sully" in the boxes for R2 onward if you picked him to win a match. Likewise, if you picked Ren Amamiya, he'd just be listed as "Ren" in the boxes for R2 onward. So sadly, he'll probably be named "Ren" on the front page which is possibly even worse than "Ren Amamiya".

I dont think all this means Square ducks. But I don't trust midcarder FF in any debatable match. Like Cecil is about to get his ass handed to him by Crash


I took Crash too because I thought he'd get enough meme power (R) to push past Old Square, but I am aware that I'm basically saying Crash => Knuckles which would be unheard of in 2013

Seems like creativename's updater can't handle the switch over to a new day. It was working just fine from 8:00 PM up to 12:00 AM and then stops working after that. I managed to manually trigger a new poll update around 12:01 AM, but now I can't seem to trigger any more poll updates for some reason.

I'm sure it has already been discussed but I wonder if any characters are hurt by their game/franchise not being displayed when voting.

Like I'm sure there's people out there who would vote for someone based on liking their franchise rather than the character themselves and might not immediately recognize the character just from the picture. Like Tidus is a bad example and it would probably be more prominent with older final fantasys with less play/marketing but I wonder if how many would be more likely to vote for Tidus (Final Fantasy X) over just Tidus based on them liking Final Fantasy as a series but possibly never having played that characters game.

When the matches used to be in the side column (replacing the PotD slot), the game would only be specified in a very small handful of cases.

I feel like vivi might have a little "magic" to him though. Like if that's a 47-53 match in Ganon's favor, but Vivi leads out the gate and then you have a little rally power to protect the lead and boom upset.

I'm thinking characters that are recognizeable in their pics should be relative immune in this regard. No mistaking Lloyd Irving for anyone else for example, and thank fuck Simon Belmont finally has a unified appearance thanks to Smash.

Characters like James and Chris get double whammies from pic factor and surnames not really visible.

This has to be a new low for Tidus no? He's getting owned by someone he 60-40'd 10 years ago! In an lol 4-way yeah, but still!

I knew that Donkey Kong's upset over Lightning and his game's run in 2015 foreshadowed this. As well as FFX continually choking in debated matches.
