Howard was garbage

 

[Kikujiro]

My first wrong choice...Rock is terrible wtf.

It's a matchup problem, Rock can't just defense Battousai slashes, this is like Ogre Akuma vs Silversamurai again, Ogre couldn't parry Silversamurai's slashes

 

[Despera]

I missed half the tourney, haven't I? ;_;

Kazuya is no match for Sandman.

 

[NameGenerated]

Another wrong choice. Was hoping he put in fake Sandman accidentally.

 

[EarlyEarly]

I'm really not happy with the choices here.

I find it a little humorous that Cherrywarrior (who, mind you, has apparently submitted a bunch of these characters and made some statement earlier today that they were tweaking stuff to make for fairer fights for the tourney) posted the bracket and might have set all these stacked fights, in which they're fairly consistently putting in on the winner most likely because they know who's going to body who ahead of the time.

I know it's a game and all, but the fact that he's at the top of list due to matches that involved his characters submitted puts me off.

And the fact that Rock Howard sucks and has won 3 matches out of 18, according to stats.

Same. I have a feeling his involvement has hurt this more than helped.

Then why'd he put 13K on Rock Howard? Your argument is irrelevant as long as the top characters are of relatively the same quality. Plus wouldn't people who have access to the stats know all this information anyways? Are all the illuminati in on fixing this tournament too?

Kazuya is no match for Sandman.

Nah, we're not even halfway the first round. Here's the bracket: http://challonge.com/SC256P3

Cherry is shady because he made his millions betting against his own anime sub the day all the OP animes went up. He just seems to bid on reasonable underdogs now, though.

The problem here is that the matches this time, compared to the previous tournaments, do not feature top characters of a same quality. There've been some super, obvious stacked fights so far.

Edit: Loving this Rikuo vs. Satsuki one currently, though.

 

[Azure J]

6 - 2

Battousai over Rock and Sandman over whats his face were easy although remembering Angel Ryu made me scared to consider anything a given v Sandman.

 

[Despera]

Nah, we're not even halfway the first round. Here's the bracket: http://challonge.com/SC256P3

thank fucking got!

make me rich, Rikuo!

 

[buy teh haloz]

Real match?

 

[Settin]

Make me some money, rikuo!

 

[Tan]

Knew I shoulda bet more on Rikuo.

 

[Azure J]

WHY IS RIKUO SO GOOOOOD?

 

[Despera]

Rikuo you glorious bastard!! >

 

[Eleuin]

Egged on

 

[Yasadril]

Rikuo!!

 

[Mupod]

Curiously attractive fish man got me back to 10k!

Sorry Sacchin, but I know how inconsistent you are.

 

[Neol]

Knew that rikuo specials were too much for her.

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

Satsuki's "yah, ay" sound really reminds me of something. Is it from a Soulcalibur or something?

 

[K.Jack]

First upset of the night. Dammit!

 

[Edgeward]

7-1

beat this pothead mario

 

[Azure J]

6 - 3 but fuuuuuuuuuuuuck that match was insanity mode.

 

[Despera]

Mario is gonna win this, but I'll bet small on Juan.

Edit: lolol

 

[EarlyEarly]

Juan got bodybagged

 

[Tan]

Yup. Mario AI is godlike. He used to make me so goddamn angry when I first discovered mugen.

 

[Azure J]

The motherfucking KING of Video Games right there. The most ordinary of guys and yet kicking so much ass.

7 - 3

 

[Edgeward]

8-1

This one I cant decide but I'll go for the one designed to be like Akuma

 

[Despera]

Evil Ken.

Easy.

 

[Neol]

Damn Evil Ken and Rare Akuma would be hype as shit.

 

[NameGenerated]

Damn Evil Ken and Rare Akuma would be hype as shit.

Rare Akuma would demolish him without getting touched.

 

[Mupod]

Damn Evil Ken and Rare Akuma would be hype as shit.

rare akuma would obliterate him in milliseconds.

evil ken is really good but he's a lot more fair than, well, most of the bullshit Akumas running around

 

[Settin]

Rare Akuma would demolish him without getting touched.

Pretty much this. They really need to add in a few more of the mugen gods to make rare akuma matches interesting.

 

[K.Jack]

I bet on atom, just in case Ken was feeling like shitting the bed.

 

[Edgeward]

Okay that was more lopsided than I thought

9-1

This next one should be real close though

 

[ReiGun]

Can't believe I almost missed a shaker classic.

Anyone got a bracket?

 

[buy teh haloz]

4-6

Damn, I did so much better last time.

 

[Despera]

real match incoming...

BRACKETS

9-2

I thought you were better than this Sean. Damn scrub

edit: YES THAT'S WHAT I WANTED!

 

[Azure J]

8-3

I have good eyes for bullshit it seems! :lol

Edit: Maybe not good enough, Kim hits like a fucking meteorite.

 

[Neol]

Damn crap dmg from sean :/

edit: Maybe I spoke too soon.

 

[SuperAndroid17]

rare akuma would obliterate him in milliseconds.

evil ken is really good but he's a lot more fair than, well, most of the bullshit Akumas running around

yup

Rare akuma also made berserk look like a scrub as well.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

7-4, plus I bet on Kim, but neither of these guys look like they'll make it past next round.

 

[Despera]

wow suddenly he decides to fight back

 

[Edgeward]

Kim decides to super after getting launched in the air. GOTDAMN

 

[Eleuin]

So much for that being close

FUCK SEAN CMON

 

[Despera]

Sean YESS!!

:O

Edit: you did good, mah boy :]

My first real loss tonight.

 

[Sloosha]

Kim getting downloaded.

Phew, he pulled through in the end.
