Match #59 Results
Solid Snake 55.33%
Mega Man 44.67%

Snake had to wait a while, but he's finally avenged his two losses to the Blue Bomber in 2003 and 2004. The man who makes the impossible possible managed to do just that by turning a 43/57 loss into a 55/45 victory, and is looking like a real threat to take the entire bracket. Things aren't looking so good for Mega Man, but other elite characters have bounced back from bad years before, so let's hope we get the 90%-scoring Blue Bomber we know and love back in 2007. The consensus for today's match was Mega Man with 50.06%, and the average score was 42.12. Predictions were split right down the middle, with 54 taking Snake and 52 backing Mega Man.

Best Five Picks:
1) Ayvuir - Solid Snake 54.21% (+48.88)
2) IhatethisCPU - Solid Snake 57.00% (+48.33)
3) Karma Hunter - Solid Snake 53.64% (+48.31)
4) KingBartz - Solid Snake 53.60% (+48.27)
5) StopPokingMe - Solid Snake 53.53% (+48.20)

Ayvuir gets the best prediction of the day and his fifth top 5 of the contest with 48.88 points - no one was within 1% today. You know things are getting crazy when IhatethisCPU makes the top five, and that's exactly what happens for the first time of the contest today. Karma Hunter had the third best pick, followed by KingBartz. Old timer StopPokingMe gets fifth, for the 27th top 5 of his Oracle career.

Cyko picks the wrong winner but still remains in first, while his closest competitor, Aprosenf, tumbles to fifth. Draco, PeaceOut64, and Salient each move up one step. Surprisingly, no one new moved onto the leaderboard, but that's because the people who picked Mega Man had a comfortable lead over the pack. The top of the standings did get a lot closer together than they were yesterday.
