The Top 10 SpC2k6 Oracle Challenge Contenders

The popular pre-contest tradition is back! It's the moment Dilated Chemist has been waiting for, as we're bringing you the top 10 contenders to the Oracle Challenge title! Although the Oracle Challenge is a game of skill, predicting who will do well in any given contest is a challenge at least as difficult as the contest itself. King Morgoth and I have used all the stats at our disposal along with our intuition to pick out the ten contestants to watch out for in the spring 2006 Oracle Challenge. I'll be posting them about one an hour or so over the course of the day.

Only ten people can make the top 10 list, and there were several deserving people we couldn't find room for. I'll start by recognizing one here, our...

"I just used one simple equation you forgot to include on your godly-website:

Nintendo Boost + neck-up Tifa = Oracle underperformance"

Heroic Viktor, aka Tnote, made his impression on the Oracle Challenge during SC2k5. Demonstrating a willingness to go against popular opinion, Heroic Viktor took an early lead on day 4 and held it through day 16 of the contest. At one point he led his next closest competitor by 18.74 points, or over two and a half points per match that had been held at that point. He eventually dropped in the standings, and although his aggressive style cost him points in some matches such as Squall vs Vincent (Squall with 55.83%), he refused to give it up. This eventually paid off as he made a furious comeback in the final stages of the contest, and ended up finishing in 4th place. Heroic Viktor definitely has the potential to do well if his risky gameplan pays off.

"Ngamer, predicting at the last minute? Shocking!"

Ngamer is known in Oracle land for both the quality and the lateness of his predictions, the later having been known to catch up with him on more than one occasion. In SC2k3, he became the only person to ever make the top 10 while missing a match, and posting an average that could have easily landed him in the top 5 otherwise. In SC2k4 he missed two matches, again finishing with an average that could have landed him in the top 5... if he hadn't missed the matches. In SC2k5 he completed the hat trick by missing a match due to a power outage - only excessive generosity from the host kept that one from counting against him.

Ngamer is always a dangerous competitor - his skills have managed to land him the 4th best modern average. And don't let the 8th place lifetime average fool you - that's due only to predicting in low-scoring SC2k3, where his average was 3rd best for the contest. This fact is reflected in his points above average score - in the matches he predicted, he outscored the field by an average of 1.6 points, 4th best out of all Oracle competitors. And although he's had a problem with missing matches in the past, this time he has a teammate to keep him on track, which may make him even more dangerous.

"Hey, Morgoth, that's what you get for keeping me out of your Top 10 list!"

The first of the former champions to appear on our list, Dilated Chemist was the winner in the Villain contest and also finished 5th in the original spring contest, the Best Game Ever contest. Unfortunately he was gone for the majority of SC2k5, and his attempt to defend his title in absentia got derailed thanks to Magus - he had submitted no prediction for a Squall/Knuckles matchup. However, he still managed to rank on top of the contest's final phase leaderboard. Additionally, his average score for 2005 was actually slightly higher than creativename's - if he hadn't missed a match, he might have been 2005 Player of the Year. We'll have to see whether DC's spring contest mojo works in this contest, which is a spring contest technically being held in the summer.

"49 points? That's not good for my average!"

Next on our list of top contenders is ps2rulezzz. Best known for his amazing average, ps2rulezzz first appeared in 2004, where he placed 6th in the spring and 3rd in the summer. This consistency was good enough to rank 3rd in the combined 2004 standings behind only kawaiifan and King Morgoth. In 2005 ps2rulezzz placed 13th in the summer contest. ps2 has the highest lifetime average of any competitor, and his modern average ranks 3rd, only 0.01 points behind first place kawaiifan. Arguably even more impressive is his points above average number - in the matches he predicted, he's outscored his competition by more than anyone else except kawaiifan.

ps2rulezzz has a pattern of only predicting the full contests (SpC2k4, SC2k4, and SC2k5). If he decides to show up for this one, he'll definitely be a contender.

"I'm...on the decline? No."

Haste2 was the original Oracle champion, and you need look no farther than his contest finishes to see how he earned his spot on this list. 1st, 11th, 8th, 20th, and 6th demonstrates consistency and skill not many people can match. He also scores extremely well in the points above average metric, scoring 1.60 points better than average across all 254 Oracle matches. Haste2 ranks second in all-time total points. Unfortunately, Haste2 suicided his account and will be competing by email in this contest. It remains to be seen whether this will have a negative impact on his game.

The #6 spot on our list belongs to the man known for his analysis crew and his contest-inspired comic strips, Master Moltar. Moltar has been around since the first Oracle Challenge and had consistently performed in the upper-midcard range until his breakout performance in SC2k5. Moltar landed in the top 10 toward the end of the first round of SC2k5 and worked his way up, briefly taking over first place as late as day 62 of the contest. Moltar is also one of only four people to predict every Oracle match. His consistency indicates he should put up another solid finish in this contest.

"Hopefully I'll see you all again next contest to become the first two-time champ!"

Beginning our top 5 and placing just above Moltar is the man who defeated him in SC2k5, Xuxon. Xuxon is our current defending champion and two-time top 5 finisher. Last summer Xuxon made his way onto the leaderboard at the end of round 1 with a good pick in the Pac-Man/Ocelot match. From there he slowly worked his way up to the top on day 53 and 54, where he held a 0.01 point lead over creativename for first place. Xuxon took a more decisive lead on the Mario/Samus match, and after a scare from Master Moltar, held on to win the contest. He'll be trying to pick up where he left off, and has already stated his intention to repeat as champion. He has a strong desire to win and the skill to do so. Xuxon is also the only person with two perfect predictions in his Oracle Challenge career.

"As long as the contests continue, I've got Summer 2008 all but wrapped up."

If this list has an up-and-comer, it's Camden. Camden first appeared in SC2k4, where he predicted his way to a 9th place finish. He's gone on to improve his ranking by one in every contest since then. In addition to finishing in the top 10 every contest he's been in, he's also managed the 8th best modern average, an impressive feat. Out of users who have predicted at least two contests, only two of them have finished in the top 10 every time: Camden and kawaiifan. Camden definitely has consistency and momentum on his side going into this contest, making him one to watch out for.

"Starcraft over Wind Waker with 50.02%...*gulp*"

King Morgoth is both one of the hosts of the Oracle Challenge and one of its greatest competitors... over the lifetime of this challenge, no one has contributed as much to it as he has. Morgoth can never be counted out, as he demonstrated back in spring 2004 when he pulled off the most amazing comeback the Oracle Challenge has seen. In that contest, he was one of only five people to predict Starcraft beating The Wind Waker, and he averaged 48.76 over the last ten matches to snatch victory from Bananaquest.

When solarshadow disappeared before summer 2004, King Morgoth took over running the contest... and incidentally also finished the summer in second place. His amazing streak continued with a 3rd place finish in the Villains contest. Although summer 2005 was a bit of a disappointment for King Morgoth, his modern average ranks second highest among all Oracle competitors, and there's no doubt he'll be looking for his fourth top 3 finish this time around - while no one else yet has three.

Ever since winning the Summer 2004 Oracle Challenge, kawaiifan has been known as the Oracle Queen, and the title is well deserved. No one else can match her accomplishments or her consistency. kawaiifan has predicted every Oracle match and has finished in the top 8 in all five contests. She's finished in the top 5 three times, and has won one title. She's also got the best modern average of all competitors, and the second best lifetime average (despite the disadvantage of having predicted low-scoring SC2k3). Last but not least, she blows away the competition in points above average, scoring an average of 1.95 points better than the field in every match. It seems almost a given that she'll be up there near the top of the standings again this time.

"The popularity of each contestant can be treated as a statistical process, based on realizations of uniform random variables with a certain mean."

And the number one competitor to watch in the spring 2006 Oracle Challenge is... creativename! creativename is famous for popularizing the extrapolated standings, which he was one of the first people to use back in the original Oracle Challenge. However, creativename found his greatest Oracle Challenge success in 2005, when his performance in the spring and summer contests made him 2005 Player of the Year. He started by finishing fifth in the Villain contest, but that was just a warmup. During the summer of 2005, creativename showed us the most dominant run since Bananaquest, by grabbing first place on day 21 and staying there until day 45. Like Bananaquest, creativename eventually stumbled - in the end, picking Samus to beat Mario made the difference between finishing in 1st place and finishing in 5th place. Despite not winning the Summer Contest, creativename had the best total score for 2005 and is the hottest competitor coming into this contest.
