ctesjbuvf 04/16/20 7:36:32 AM #308:	ZeldaTPLink posted... Luster picked Uncharted in Round 1, he can't get those points in Round 2 now. While if Mario Kart beats FF14, you do. Add that to that the Sonic points and that's 4 points you can gain over him. Yes, but that's why I'm not eliminated yet and will eliminate him if it happens. It's not just four points I can gain over him, it's four points I have to gain over him. I need both Sonic and Mario Kart to win and if it happens I eliminate him. He needs just one of Super Meat Boy and Final Fantasy XIV to win to eliminate me since he's ahead (even if he only gets points himself for a Meat Boy victory). Oxbridge posted... Yes, you're right. Probably a mistake in NewerShadow's code somewhere. In any case, gotta hope for a Sonic victory! --- Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. <cite>ctesjbuvf posted [p:937499972] in * GotD 202...

No, not at all, again, that's why I'm in the game still. But if SMB beats Sonic, the difference goes to 5 with our only difference left being that I picked Mario Kart 8 to win this round, while he picked Uncharted. Obviously he can't get points for that match, but it wouldn't matter if I did, since the smallest I could make the difference then would be 3. Edit: Say the above post now. That explains. --- Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to Advokaiser, the winner of the Character Battle X guru contest. <cite>ctesjbuvf posted [p:937500015] in * GotD 202...

NewerShadow 04/16/20 8:56:16 AM #311:	ctesjbuvf posted... I don't understand how I'm not up for elimination tomorrow. As far as I can tell, I should be eliminated by Luster any outcome where Super Meat Boy wins. He's currently three points ahead of me and the only differences in our brackets is I picked Sonic and Mario Kart this round, while he picked SMB and Uncharted. That means I need those four points to not end behind him. Human error - I forgot to move you out of my backup file for dead brackets when Shovel Knight rallied to beat octopath. You are indeed dead in any scenario when SMB wins. <cite>NewerShadow posted [p:937502164] in * GotD 202...

Seems like Ringworm is closest to my bracket which means we'd be up for elimination in the fourth round (division 2 final).

charmander6000 04/16/20 10:50:37 AM #318:	On one hand, it's unlikely anything challenges BotW without a rally. On the other hand, calling a rally correctly likely gives you a prize winning bracket (assuming your other picks aren't too crazy) while even a great bracket with BotW winning may give you nothing. --- Game of the Decade 2 - Current Score: 86/96 Today's Picks: Witcher 3, SMG2, F:NV, GoW <cite>charmander6000 posted [p:937506757] in * GotD 202...

squexa 04/16/20 10:57:52 AM #319:	Frankly, its not a bad idea to take Witcher 3 to win it all. If you believe that Witcher 3 will get a rally against Skyrim, the match against BotW is the very next day so the rally will spillover. And because so few people have Witcher 3 winning the tournament, you have a great shot at winning at least a prize as long as you have a competent bracket for the rest of the matches. --- congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru <cite>squexa posted [p:937507065] in * GotD 202...

I looked it up: @Advokaiser, it's easy to lose sight of this when we're constantly looking at Ngamer's Guru leaderboard, but we're really going up against the best of the best. Right now, only one person, @SgtSphynx, has a bracket that is still alive but BELOW the average. He has a 75 but is still alive. Everyone else in the Guru contest that is still alive has an above average bracket, 122 out of 123 peoplel. That is 99%. For example, I have an awful bracket, my score is an 89, that is terrible right now in the Guru contest 114th out of 123. But that is still in the 83rd percentile amongst all brackets. Even a really bad bracket for the Guru contest is a great bracket compared to all bracket. Being on Board 8 helps tremendously compared to if you just made your bracket solo. --- SuperNiceChao about to win the Oracle 2020!

It seems Luster and I have identical brackets post round 2, but he's five points ahead, meaning I also need Sonic and Mario Kart to advance a round in which case he's eliminated by me instead. Unless of course something else get some first I suppose. And so it seems I did get out of round 2.
