Good thing I changed my pick from Celes to The Boss, that'll earn me 7 more points, but I'm still off by almost 10%.

Ouch, this is a beating. I came really close to coming back into work and changing my prediction to the Boss... the only reason I didn't was my preference for Celes (which makes this doubly painful).

Actually you didn't, because you posted it in the wrong topic. Lucky you.

Predictions in the discussion topic don't count, for reference, so be careful.

Round 1: Sonic
From: Camden | Posted: 9/17/2006 4:29:01 PM | Message Detail
LOL at -15 on today. I don't worry as much, because they were a lot of Celes predictions, and the few Boss predictions were low.

I was under the impression that there were more The Boss predictions than Celes predictions.

So... is Kerrigan now the favorite? I really don't feel like picking Terra over anyone at this point.

From: meche313 | Posted: 9/17/2006 6:39:52 PM | Message Detail
Yeah, unless that this means that The Boss is somewhat strong (meaning maybe a bit closer to Ocelot than what we thought) this means FF6 characters are uber-trash. Though, Sarah Kerrigan is of the few characters that may be even worst. So...although people should get worried, Terra will be the easy favorite.

Anyways, for tomorrow's match, I wasn't sure. So I consulted the (lol) X-stats. If Sheena = Lloyd, Jill gets around 61.25%. However, Lloyd was behind Zero so he can be underrated (Kratos suggests this) and Jill should have drop since 2k4. If Sheena = Kratos then Jill only gets 52+% without the fact that she should have drop. A bit in shock by this. However, Sheena shouldn't be close to Kratos, and her ceiling is Lloyd IMO. With that in mind, and remembering that RE resurged since RE4, I see Jill just over 60.

Sheena's gained half a percentage point since the kiddies got home... which is good since I underestimated Jill a bit on this match. <_<

Wow, I never expected Sheena to rise like this. Looks like my last change was a bad one (from 63.99 to 64.49), and by the time this is done my second-last change might be a bad one too (from 62.99 to 63.99).

Okay, I think I earned some sort of world record on that last pick: most spots gained with a single prediction. I also believe I'm the most random entrant in the entire oracle challenge thingy.

Well, there are always bigger jumps on the second day, but up 65 is the biggest jump that's ever happened after day 3 of the contest. The all time record is Steiner's up 102 from the second day of this contest.

Wow, I never expected Sheena to rise like this.

This is crazy - Sheena's lopped 2.25% off of Jill's percentage in just a bit over four hours. Unless the day vote slows down, Jill's going to top out around 61% or so.

Not that I'm complaining... <_<
