A = Strongest Character
B = Character Weaker than A
C = Character Weaker than B
To figure out a character's extrapolated percentage ---> [(CvB)(BvA)]/50 = CvA
To compare how C would do against B ---> [(CvA)/(BvA)]*50 = CvB
To figure out how B would do against A ---> [(CvA)/(CvB)]*50 = BvA

So does Claire still beat Joker in a re-match?

Because now we have Smash Ultimate and RE2 Remake to consider.

Joker probably wins if he actually gets a Joker pic, much less Persona 5 getting Smash boosted.

Hard to tell. It's very even in North America. P4G is winning in most of Europe but losing in the UK, Europe's largest voting bloc. RDR has a worse board vote so it could rise all day like some other entrants with bad board votes do.

Ah well, at least RDR will look good and GTAV should win next round. And not just for my bracket, P4G shouldn't even be here. I am convinced the only reason it is here is to give the Vita a rep, though most voting for it won't have even played it on Vita. It's a straight 2000's proxy.

So is RDR1 actually the weakest Rockstar game here like the seeding suggests? I kind of assumed it would be stronger but everything we've seen suggests that not only is GTAV stronger, but RDR2 probably is as well. Also glad to see that Baba is You isn't turbofodder, I thought it wouldn't be.

well this should pretty much remove any chance for RDR2 later

Persona 5 is definitely significantly stronger than Persona 4 (and golden might even be weaker due to the remaster stigma), and RDR2 ..uh..should be about the same as 1?

There was a rally on /r/shovelknight which got traction

Then someone posted a rally on /r/octopathtraveler which got stickied, and got traction

Octopath looked like it was going to win then fucking YACHT CLUB GAMES tweeted the match out and clinched it for SK

Was great

Most rallies are either underdog indies or meme votes ala L-Block and Draven (which we haven't had in this contest). What are you talking about?

part of me wants it to beat persona or red dead so it can get a deserved beating by Monado. Needs to be taught a lesson like Golden Sun did to its older brother.

This GTA result is about what I expected. I know GTA has a tendency to tank in contests, but there's a world of difference between San Andreas losing to RPGs and the stronger GTAV losing to freaking Cuphead.

These GTAV results this contest would look underwhelming if we expected GTAV to be one of the big dogs of the contest like we probably would have without past contest results, but GTA's propensity to choke makes these results look not so bad.

GTAV's performances are an embarrassment to its 1 seed, but I suppose we collectively expected even worse?

That's an inherently skewed comparison, because Super Mario RPG had built up a major bandwagon by the time it reached Resident Evil 4.

GTAV being fairly strong in '15 was my point precisely. However, plugging Cuphead's current result into the 2015 x-stats gives it 34% on Mario RPG. Cuphead probably does break 30%, but it probably doesn't do THAT well. So GTAV probably dropped a little in strength.

The beauty of Division 4 is that even if you get it wrong, there are so many possibilities for a division winner that it might not affect your bracket that much.

Like not many people have Xenoblade winning anyway.
