Holy smokes, hardly anyone in the 90s for this one, I was thinking most would be. Granted, Manny is no Tanner, but... he's GOT to be closer to Tanner than is being predicted. I think.

From: Kaxon | Posted: 7/26/2005 11:06:32 PM | Message Detail
I have to admit, I'm surprised how high the predictions are. In order for Snake to break 85%, Manny has to be below 10% on 2k3 Link, weaker than Guybrush was in either year. Not a lot of characters are that low. In order for Snake to hit 88%, Manny would have to be around 7.9% on 2k3 Link, below Captain Olimar (including SFF), Aiai (including SFF), and Mr. Resetti. If Snake hits 90%, Manny will be tied with Ms. Pac-Man, the third weakest character in contest history.

From: Lagoona | Posted: 7/26/2005 11:32:39 PM | Message Detail
.I think the reasoning behind the high predictions is more intuition. I think that almost everyone coming to gamefaqs at least knows Snake. Manny on the other hand is pretty much cult, and not a lot of (especially younger people) have heard of him. And as I never hear something of Anti-MGS voting, I think all the casual votes will go to Snake, even if Manny has a slight pic advantage (imo).

Match #8 Results:
Auron 71.47%
Big Boss 28.53%

Auron does better than expected today against Big Boss, breaking out of his 65/35 win pattern and setting up a potentially exciting Ganon/Auron round 2 match. There were 105 Auron picks and 1 Big Boss pick in todays match. The consensus was Auron with 65.27 and the average score was 42.57 points.

4) NLMagic Auron 72.33% (+49.14)
5) Lieutenant Kettch Auron 70.60% (+49.13)

Today Mega Psycho Crusher has the best pick.

Hey Kaxon... do you think we could have a page on the site where everybody's predictions for a certain character are shown...

It's not actually planned but it'd be somewhat of a pain to add and the predictions are rarely updated in the database before the match begins, so it'd be only partial info anyway. I've got a huge list of things to do for the site before that =P
