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.

Current Leaderboard:
1) cyko - 2700.40
2) Draco1214 - 2695.57
3) PeaceOut64 - 2694.59
4) Salient - 2693.82
5) Aprosenf - 2692.97

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.

Top Team Scores:
1) Team Unfinished FFP - 94.01 (Ed Bellis: +45.70 / Karma Hunter: +48.31)
2) Team Bartar - 93.53 (Master Moltar: +45.26 / KingBartz: +48.27)

5) Team Battle with Gilgamesh > JENOVA - 91.36 (Janus5000: +45.69 / KleenexTissue50: +45.67)

Team Unfinished FFP gets the top score in today's strangely clustered top 5. No one scored over 94.01 points, but the top three were within a point of each other. Team Bartar was second and Team th3 Bob was third. Then we have a gap before we get to StopPokingMe's solo team, Team Dieroll, in fourth and Team Battle with Gilgamesh > JENOVA in fifth.

5) Team Accident (MegatokyoEd / Rufus Shinra 18) - 5359.11

Team mvp's holds on to the lead, but allows the second and third place teams to gain quite a bit of ground on them. Team Romanian Potato Soup remains in second, while Team We Used To Be Good? decisively takes back 3rd place from Team Predestined Divination. Ngamer and creativename move down to fourth. Team Accident (MegatokyoEd now going solo) reclaims the fifth place spot from Team Happy Happyists, continuing the game of musical chairs that is fifth place in the team standings.

You're in a clique with Vlado and Inviso. That's the nerdy group in the school cafeteria that sits away from everybody else gossiping about the cool kids in whispers, except instead of whispers, it's AIM, and instead of the school cafeteria, it's the board 8 community. -- Shake
