Classified Best Figure of 2024 Tournament - Round 1 Matchups

Diablogunner · 01-09-2025, 02:58 PM

Higher seed works, although I like Dfender's idea of which one gives me more points...

Playing around with the bracket data a little. Round One trivia if I brought the sheets in correctly. DB, let me know if you want a copy of the sheets in Excel to muck around with.

No two players made all of the same selections in round one. Every entry including DB's had a unique combination of selections from the first 23 matchups.

Only five contests are unanimous: All players who submitted brackets chose Iron Grenadier, Night Creeper, NF Ripcord, V2 Storm Shadow, and OAMCC in their respective matches

We like high seeds more than low seeds. Of the 18 non-unanimous matchups, a majority of us chose the higher seed 13 times vs 5 times where a majority chose the lower seed.

The 5 selections where a majority chose the lower seed favored Retro Stalker, Raptor, Twilight Guard, Shadow Tracker, and Alpine in their matchups

Interesting. When are you and DB going to team-up to unveil a predictor for how Hasbro chooses which figures to release in Classified? I'm sure there's a system there.

I'd be afraid of driving DB crazy in the process. I'm more Kermit than Spock half the time.

Imagine an episode of Star Trek where all the actors are replaced by Muppets - except - Leonard Nimoy.

I think DB's already crazy... he's just really good at hiding it.

Round 1 has officially ended! I will be posting the thread with Round 2's matchups/polls in just a little bit!

No ties ended up happening, so every matchup was a legit win.
