Obviously we can't implement it this year, but for people who just miss one or two days throught the year, what about a base default of giving them a predicion of 25% for all four characters. This would work a lot better with this 4 man format (no penalties) and would save people who sign on an hour late or press enter a few minutes late.

I don't know about this, that seems pretty lenient.

I think maybe there could just be an "Average" leaderboard featured prominently on the navigation? With maybe min predictions being 3/4 of matches up to that point or something. This feature should be easier to code than most (though it would still take the time and effort of our noble Oracle overlords).

The one feature that I'd love more than anything is an all-time average %ile standings (e.g., if you placed 40th out of 80 entries your %ile would like 50). That would show above all other things how skilled you really are. But that would be a bit more time consuming probably.


It was that stupid CS&D topic that completely shut out my considerations of Meta Knight competing with Peach. I -never- want to listen to them again...

Hey now, you must not have read my posts then :) Actually there were a few people whispering about this the past few days, and nobody really arguing against it. Only problem was that people were far more caught up in CATS>Peach, which I thought was much less likely.

I only Oracle predicted 13% for Meta Knight but that's because I was making a safe choice, as he also had some downside risk. I actually figured he'd get like 15% and Peach like 16%-17%.

I thought Sephiroth would suffer less though, I figured there would be more overlap between Meta Knight and Peach than their seems to be. Also Meta Knight might collapse with the day vote, but should still finish comfortably ahead of where most people had him.
