User blog:SketchFalcon/The Winner of the Smash Bros. Character Tournament

All right everyone!

After a month and four days of grueling battles and predictions, the Super Smash Bros. character tournament is over! And the winner is...

'''Putting on a dominating performance every round, never losing steam even against surprise competitors, last yeat's runner-up has taken the trophy! It's...R.O.B.!!!!!!!!'''

No, I'm just kidding. R.O.B. didn't win. He gave the hardest effort a little robot could do to catch up to his competitor, but it didn't pull through. And the winner is...

CAPTAIN FALCON!!!!

Yes, by a rather close score of 23 to 18, Captain Falcon has won this year's character tournament. Let's all have a round of applause for the big guy!





Now, I challenged people to predict the match as best they could. Over the course of the week, I got many wildly varying predictions, but which three were the luckiest? Which three saw the most into the tournament and predicted the most wins?

As I was comparing the predicted brackets to the actual thing, I began noticing some trends. A lot of people played it safe, and their predictions suffered the most when many matches didn't go as most people expected. In fact, the guesses I deemed to be the most ludicrous at the start of the tournament often ended up actually being correct. A lot of people overestimated Mewtwo (although if the Nintendo Direct had come out before his elimination, who would've known what would happen). However, a safe bet that paid off well was Captain Falcon, as I suppose no surprise contender was enough for him.

Anyways, after counting the number of matches each entrant predicted correctly, we have THE WINNERS OF THE BRACKET CONTEST!

Below is a list of the submitted brackets, with most matches highlighted in green or red, signifying whether they went as planned or not. I based my counting off these, so if you see a legitimate problem with your bracket, tell me immediately.
