Match # 49 Results
Samus Aran 33.10%
Mega Man 30.43%

Scorpion 17.34%

Yesterday's match started out awesome, but unfortunately Samus took control after the early hours and made the results lame. The consensus predictions were: Samus - 32.80%, Super Fighting Robot Mega Man - 29.87%, Yoshi - 20.12%, and Scorpion - 17.27%. The average score was 47.85.

Best Five Picks:
1) Lady Ashe - Mega Man 30.00% - Samus 33.00% - Scorpion 17.50% - Yoshi 19.50% (+49.73)
2) Master Moltar - Mega Man 30.20% - Samus 32.60% - Scorpion 17.70% - Yoshi 19.50% (+49.63)
3) meche313 - Mega Man 30.00% - Samus 33.00% - Scorpion 17.00% - Yoshi 20.00% (+49.56)
4) GrapefruitKing - Mega Man 30.28% - Samus 34.05% - Scorpion 16.62% - Yoshi 19.05% (+49.52)
5) Luster Soldier - Mega Man 29.81% - Samus 33.25% - Scorpion 16.80% - Yoshi 20.14% (+49.42)

Lady Ashe was the best predictor of the day, and got his 7th top 5 of the contest despite missing a number of matches during round 1! Not only that, but his 49.73 was the second highest score of the contest so far. Master Moltar took second, and tied for fifth highest score of the contest with his 49.63. Meche in 3rd had the 7th highest score of the contest and GrapefruitKing got his first top 5 this year with a tie for the 8th best score of the contest. Finally, it's a good weekend to be Luster Soldier - first he went to a party to have some beer and find a drunk ***** to ****, now he's fifth in today's high-scoring top 5!
