a_bit_of_wit_2Wow. Needless to say, the first round of the Time Division ended wildly, with a lot of things happening right at the end of it--things I shall recap right now.
It began with Eyes holding the top position all by her lonesome for 2 days, and during Day 10, she missed a battle. Fragments and Saya, sitting in 2nd, got full points and moved into a tie for 1st, and the three of them would stay together for a while. As the round went on, some of you were building long streaks of consecutive battles won--some of you got to 12, 14, then slipped. As the next few days wore on, Kinie, who had remained in 3rd since Day 2, missed a battle on Day 15 and dropped to 4th. CrystalGuardian, who sat in last since Day 2 of the contest, kept trying to pull out, getting a string of battles correctly. Trouble was, everyone above him was also getting points, which made him not move. He remains in last place.
As Day 16 approached, I noticed 3 people--Halflingspy, Fragments, and Saya had managed to get a 16-battle win streak. As we came up to the final 2 battles of Time, Round 1, I noticed a couple of things--one, these 3 were 2 battles away from tying the overall record for most consecutive battles won, a record which had stood since the summer of 2005 when I did my 3rd contest, Super Smash Melee--18 battles won in a row. Secondly, if these 3 had their predictions for Battles 15 and 16 win, then they'd also do what only 1 other person has done--successfully, correctly predict all 16 battles of a division's first round. Alas, Halflingspy wouldn't do it--why he foolishly predicted Geno to win over MR. NINTENDO HIMSELF I'll never know. So, his streak ended at 17. However, I am glad to say that the remaining two have entered what I call the "All 16 Club."
Congratulations to the both of you! C&T finally has company in there--the company of 2 women, no less. In addition, they now have an 18-battle win streak. Should their respective predictions for this first battle of Shadow Moses win, we'll have a NEW RECORD. Currently, it's also shared with Magus, noxiousCaitSith, and C&T.
To further sweeten the deal, Eyes, who had been riding a 10-day streak at the top, thought that Shion Uzuki would beat Knuckles...that incorrect prediction, plus the fact that Fragments and Saya took full points means that Eyes drops down to 2nd place, keeping C&T company, and moving Fragments and Saya into a tie at the top. Be warned, though--the overall record for number of days at the top is held by TetsuoTrunks, who pulled that feat off in my 2nd contest back in the winter of 2005--an astounding 46 days in 1st. This means that after Day 22, all bets are off. If the current streaks break after that, no one will have a shot to beat that one. The battles for Time, Round 2, are as follows:
Link vs. Cybil
Mega Man vs. Samus Aran
Fox vs. Bomberman
Crash Bandicoot vs. Sonic
Donkey Kong vs. Robo
Yoshi vs. Kirby
Tails vs. Luigi
Knuckles vs. Mario
Anyone wanting to do fan art, here ya go.
