I am really not sure how to feel about this. I'm not 100% confident, but I'm pretty sure Samus eliminating Snake from the loser's bracket will knock me out, given all the matches I had him winning, particularly the grand finals. I did pick Samus in that loser's round 3 match, but I had Geralt getting there on the other side and Snake putting together a much better run in the legends bracket. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't know much about it but I'd guess it might be possible if Bracket A had Character C losing next round while Bracket B had Character C losing much later, Character C winning a match that Bracket A and Bracket B both had Character C winning could be worse for Bracket A if the two brackets are otherwise close enough. --- Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality. ...

@NowItsAngeTime - double checked my list of living brackets against the list on the guru site, and fpce666 should be dead right now (from Zelda > Aerith). Everything else matches though.
INTERWEBUSER posted... SuperNiceDog posted...so who's favorite to win now? Spike? Counterpoint - if Pikachu wins (and even if pikachu keeps winning), no one of consequence makes up those points on him, so who cares? As far as favorites, I'd probably say SpikeDragon, then dimi at this point - if SecretSquirrel had Link > Mario in grand finals, that bracket would have a good shot too.

Well, only if things go as expected. My Mario > Link hyper risk considered things like Smash's release causing disruptions to the Nintendo heiarchy, as well as Mario occupying the final three matches in a row, coupled with Final Match weirdness could cause a perfect storm of effects for a Mario runback on Link. None of these have been implicitly ruled out yet... Though, I probably wouldn't have gone with this if I had known the rest of my bracket was good enough to stand as a plausible low-tier prize winner without the Mario upset. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service!

Thinking ahead a bit... Let's assume that Snake/Samus win today, Link/Mario win over Cloud/Zelda, and Link wins the contest (beating Mario in the winner's final). That's 6/12 matches where the result is not too much in doubt, and assuming those results, only 4 people can win:
SpikeDragon dimi Advokaiser BK_Sheikah00 That leaves 6 matches left, and all four have have Samus in match 144, so really only 5. 1) BK_Sheikah00 needs all the following results to win: Chrono d. Mega Man Chrono d. Cloud Samus d. Zelda Chrono d. Samus Chrono d. Mario Plus, all that would only tie him with SpikeDragon, and his tiebreaker is way too high. 2) Advokaiser needs: Chrono d. Mega Man Cloud d. Chrono Cloud d. Samus/Snake/Zelda Cloud d. Mario 3) dimi needs: Chrono d. Mega Man Cloud d. Chrono Samus d. Zelda Samus d. Cloud --- Congrats to BKSheikah, the new Guru champ!
