Hooray Beer, Hooray Proxies!

This is separate from the SC2k6 Oracle Challenge, so if you haven't participated in that, you can still join this one and have a chance to win!

I hope this factors into the rankings since I would like a chance to try and bring up my rank after incorrectly picking the winner for today's match.

That would be valid if they were all the same strength... I mean, if it was Link, Tanner, Nidoran F, Jade, CATS, and Phoenix Wright you wouldn't expect them to hang around their "slice of the pie"

That, of course, is exaggerated for effect, but I do believe there is a certain percentage of GameFAQs that will vote Link over anything and everything. And I think they're considerably prominent.

While the first two matchups were deceptively disappointing, I should have known the third time would have been the charm for Solid Snake! Unfortunately for me, Karma Hunter did.

In that case, no. But the Battle Royale is featuring 6 characters (6 of the Noble Nine characters) that are all very strong. We're not dealing with 2 or more characters in this Royale varying greatly in strength.

You know I just figured something out. You are giving points to for every character which means you will count points 'double' since the number of independents is one less then the number of characters. This is ok but this also means that in the last round where there are only 2 characters you have to give double points, so that would make (50-x)*2. Or are you just going to make it 50-x?

I got pwnt by Z1mZum in the July 2006 Guru Contest.
Support Toadette for the Summer 2006 Contest!

Wow, even as the one who suggested this format, I never expected the Bonus challenge to be half this popular! Ok, here are my thoughts:

I feel that in a direct matchup, this site's current voter makeup is 55p Nintendo, 45p Square. (Had Crono made the BR I'd have set that at 50/50, but I think Samus tips the scales to N). Snake/Konami stands on its own, so I'm giving him credit for 13.5p of the overall vote. That leaves 86.5p to split between Nintendo and Square. Cloud's 51.89p on Seph back in 2003 shows how well he does in an all-Square battle, so I gave him and Seph credit for that ratio. For Samus vs the Kings of Nintendo SFF, I used Metroid's pathetic percentage against Zelda, then added a few percentage points to account for her additional SSB popularity. The remaining Nintendo vote split is based on Link's 62.53p on Mario in the 02 Final. And that gives us

Link - 23.88%
Cloud - 20.20%
Sephiroth - 18.73%
Mario - 14.31%
Snake - 13.50%
Samus - 9.38%

Taa daa!

I have no idea how this is going to go... the only thing I'm confident in is that Samus is going to do badly and Link is going to beat everyone by a mile as long as Cloud and Sephiroth are splitting the FF votes.

For each match you will earn points based on how close your prediction was to the actual outcome for each character. Scoring is cumulative and the winner of the Oracle Challenge will be the person with the most points at the end of the final match. For each character you predict you can earn anywhere from 0 and 50 points. This means that the first match is worth up to 300 points. For each character, you score 50-x points, where x is the difference between your prediction and their actual result. Example:

I'd like to petition a change in the scoring. Giving up to 50 points for each character doesn't make sense. A scoring system more in line with a normal match would be preferable.

I think there are two sensible options:
1) Make the max points for the match 50 points. This would be pretty simple; 50-[sum of abs(difference) for each character].
2) Since a normal battle has 50 points possible with 2 characters, this battle should have 150 points possible. So basically the given system, but divided by 2.

Another benefit of 1) is that each battle in the Battle Royale would have the same weight. Otherwise, the earlier battles will be heavily overweighted.

Or for 1), it could be 50- [the sum of abs(difference) divided by 2] - thus, in a 2-person match, the scoring would essentially be identical to a normal match.

Or should that be divided by n, where n is the number of contestants each match...? Not sure which would be more theoretically appropriate, so going by the simpler divided by 2, or not dividing by anything, would probably be better.

At any rate, I think it should be changed from what it is now, because 1) it makes the results per match more difficult to compare with a 'normal' match; and 2) it overweights matches with more characters.
