As long as Yuna can keep this up, I should end with a great pick.

Okay, I just realized... my Yuna prediction is mysteriously missing. I know I made one... I predict in blocks! I wouldn't just leave one match out.
Tell me you archive these things!

I think I had Yuna with like 67%..
However, if it turns out you don't archive these topics... you could... use my Analysis Crew prediction! ...what? It's a great idea! I may be in one of the last positions, but I want all 63 matches, by gawd!

This is the discussion topic, not the topic to make predictions. He was making an official post for your prediction to count that the script could read, but of course the script goes through the other topic, not this one.

This match is baffling. I figured Joanna wasn't as strong as the stats said, and that she benefitted from anti-Mario votes. But that she'd at least get a touch stronger with PD0, and Yuna would get even more anti-voted than Mario. HOW IS YUNA NOT GETTING ANTIVOTED???
I even figured in Yuna being underrated from Samus/Ganon SFF, predicted higher than like 90% of people here, and I'm still 6.5% off. Truely baffling.

Wow, the whole rest of the of the 2nd round looks like it could be crazy for the Oracle. Every match really has a pretty good arguable percentage range... It would seem now is the best chance I'm going to get to make my move...

Match #39 Results
Yuna 78.05%
Joanna Dark 21.95%
The latest surprising blowout of the contest belongs to Yuna, who performed within three percent of "freaking Mario" against Joanna Dark. It's hard to see the trend between some of these over and under performances, but if you can figure them out it should give you a big advantage in the Oracle. The consensus was Yuna with 67.48% and the average score was 39.13. 123 people took Yuna while two people, steve illumina and IhatethisCPU, took Joanna.
Best Five Picks:
1) Ikon - Yuna 78.00% (+49.95)
2) The Real Truth - Yuna 78.19% (+49.86)
3) Brakmaster - Yuna 78.20% (+49.85)
4) Applekidjosh - Yuna 77.77% (+49.72)
5) Evil_REmade - Yuna 78.65% (+49.40)
Ikon makes the best pick of the day, appearing in the top 5 for the first time this contest. The Real Truth is second, and Brakmaster trails him by 0.01 for third. Brak's team mate, Applekidjosh, is right behind him with the fourth best prediction. Finally, Evil_REmade has the fifth best pick. This is the third top 5 for The Real Truth and Josh, the second for Brakmaster, and the first for Evil_REmade.
Complete Match Ranking:
http://www.oraclechallenge.com/archives.php?contest=SC2k6&type=match&match=39
Current Leaderboard:
1) Karma Hunter - 1767.22
2) cyko - 1763.98
3) DSRage - 1762.07
4) Kaxon - 1759.72
5) Draco1214 - 1758.45
Karma Hunter remains in first today for the fifth day in a row. Cyko passes up former leader DSRage to take second. DSRage drops to third, while Kaxon and Draco remain in fourth and fifth.
Full Standings:

Top Team Scores:
1) Team Shemale Shanty - 99.57 (Applekidjosh: +49.72 / Brakmaster: +49.85)
2) Team AAA - 87.21 (Aprosenf: +38.97 / Ayvuir: +48.24)
3) Team Robo Chocobo Remix - 86.84 (Inviso: +42.78 / Vlado: +44.06)
4) Team Lions on a Plane - 86.01 (yoshifan823: +46.84 / RX7InfinitiIII: +39.17)
5) Team Bartar - 85.76 (Master Moltar: +40.37 / KingBartz: +45.39)
Team Shemale Shanty seems to be making a real effort to turn things around! After being the lowest ranked team to predict every match, they've now gotten a first and a second in the last three days. They still have to gain 19 points to pass the next-lowest team, but that's 20 points less than they needed yesterday! Team AAA is second best today with a score 12 points lower than Josh and Brakmaster. Team Robo Chocobo Remix gets third, followed by Team Lions on a Plane (actually yoshifan flying solo, since RX7 disappeared) and Team Bartar.
Complete Team Match Ranking:

Team Leaderboard:
1) Team Unfinished FFP (Ed Bellis / Karma Hunter) - 3514.27
2) Team The Spirit of Truth (Draco1214 / Rodri316) - 3512.50
3) Team We Used To Be Good? (Kaxon / King Morgoth) - 3502.83
4) Team Romanian Potato Soup (The n00b Avenger / GrapefruitKing) - 3490.72
5) Team mvp's (ps2rulezzz / basmeyer42) - 3489.76
The top three teams remain the same today, and still have a fairly comfortable lead over the pack despite somewhat weak recent scores. Team Romanian Potato Soup moves up one spot, and Team mvp's yet again retakes fifth place, pushing Team Rage of Warcraft out of the top 5.

Hey, I finally got a top 5 two days ago! Awesome!
I've really been failing at the contest this year. Through match 14, I was on a roll and kicking ass, then my computer broke. So, I've only been able to get online via other people's computers, and some days I haven't been able to change bad predictions or see match pics ahead of time. So I've been stuck with a lot of bad picks. =(

Heh, nice.
I'm actually doing better in the female bracket I think, but I didn't start until the 8 match :(

How indeed. I might get a Top 5 for this match...
And I really want to go with Squall, but I'm not taking this risk this time... I'm going to regret it (maybe).

This reinforces my hatred of the female bracket. Not something that needed reinforcing, either. :^(.

Heh. I'm going to hate myself for lowering Snake's pick if he keeps up his current performance. Good thing he has a fairly mediocre day vote.

Match #40 Results
Lara Croft 44.46%
Chun Li 55.54%
Lara started out poorly, but ended up keeping things respectable thanks to the famously bad Street Fighter day vote. It looks like Tomb Raider: Legend may have helped return Lara to respectability after all. The consensus was Chun Li with 57.78% and the average score was 45.29. 114 predictors took Chun Li and 9 put their faith in Lara Croft.
Best Five Picks:
1) Javman162 - Chun Li 55.55% (+49.99)
1) King Morgoth - Chun Li 55.55% (+49.99)
1) Weird Kirby Dude11 - Chun Li 55.55% (+49.99)
1) creativename - Chun Li 55.55% (+49.99)
5) Camden - Chun Li 55.70% (+49.84)
The top pick today is a four way tie for first, among four people with 49.99 point predictions! Javman, King Morgoth, Weird Kirby Dude, and creativename tie for first, while Camden gets a solo fifth place. This is the 28th top five for King Morgoth, 25th for creativename, 9th for Weird Kirby Dude, and 4th for Javman. This is Camden's 12th top 5.

5) Rodri316 - 1803.57
Cyko takes the lead! After spending 16 days in second place this contest, cyko finally gets to enjoy first place. Karma Hunter drops down to second with an agressive Chun Li prediction. DSRage remains in third and Kaxon remains in fourth. Rodri, who's spent a lot of time in the lower half of the top 10, finally moves back on to the leaderboard for the first time since day 8.

The top team of the day is Team We Used To Be Good?, thanks to King Morgoth's near-perfect prediction and a decent prediction from Kaxon.

So I have this problem, my computer's been acting really bad lately and at random times I try and login but it won't let me. Not because I'm putting in the wrong password or anything, it just doesn't. I'm banking that my computer has a virus so that's probably the reason.
Anyway, today and a few days ago I wasn't able to get my prediction changed and it's gonna cost me (lol 67% for Snake) - so my question is, is there some other way I can send a prediction in, if this occurs again?
