Match # 45 Results
Kirby 31.47%
Master Chief 30.32%
Big Boss 26.17%
Raiden 12.04%

What happened to you, Chief? When you go from hanging with Solid Snake to losing to Kirby, things aren't looking so hot. Meanwhile Raiden demonstrated once again that people don't like him, no matter how much board 8 thinks they should.

Consensus:
Big Boss - 24.99%
Kirby - 27.35%
Master Chief - 30.98%
Raiden - 16.80%

Best Five Picks:
1) transience - Big Boss 28.00% - Kirby 30.00% - Master Chief 30.00% - Raiden 12.00% (+49.08)
2) RPGLord95 - Big Boss 24.00% - Kirby 33.00% - Master Chief 31.00% - Raiden 12.00% (+48.89)
3) mentalmike - Big Boss 24.00% - Kirby 31.00% - Master Chief 30.00% - Raiden 15.00% (+48.52)
3) GoldSlime35 - Big Boss 26.00% - Kirby 29.00% - Master Chief 30.00% - Raiden 15.00% (+48.52)
3) neonreaper - Big Boss 25.00% - Kirby 30.00% - Master Chief 30.00% - Raiden 15.00% (+48.52)

Tranny's Burger King predictions pay off big time! I'm going to have to start predicting from Burger King in London from now on. RPGLord gets second. In third we have a three-way tie between Luster's eternal rival (neonreaper), Luster's jilted former partner (mentalmike), and GoldSlime.
