.How the heck did Axel get such a high percentage?!?
But still, MM eventually losing to Sora? NO. I rather see Sora getting almost the same percentage as Axel did...

Hey, Ringworm, if the percentage stays between our predictions, we'll get 97.45 points today. Think we'll make the top 5?

Match #25 Results
Sonic the Hedgehog 80.75%
CATS 19.25%
One day after Mega Man disappointed against Axel, Sonic puts up good numbers against CATS. Due to CATS having a new picture, we can't be sure exactly how to evaluate these results, but I think this has to be considered more impressive than his 76.15% against Jin Kazama last year. The consensus was Sonic with 79.81% and the average score was 47.13. All 132 predictions were for Sonic.
Best Five Picks:
1) StopPokingMe - Sonic the Hedgehog 80.80% (+49.95)
2) ActJef1077 - Sonic the Hedgehog 80.54% (+49.79)
3) MegatokyoEd - Sonic the Hedgehog 80.98% (+49.77)
4) BeTheMan - Sonic the Hedgehog 81.00% (+49.75)
4) Draco1214 - Sonic the Hedgehog 81.00% (+49.75)
Today's top pick belongs to Oracle old-timer StopPokingMe... this is his first top 5 of the contest but his 25th all time. ActJef gets second, appearing in the top five for the second time in four days. MegatokyoEd makes a great prediction placing him third, possibly inspired by the recent Megatokyo comics (<3). Fourth place we have a tie between BeTheMan and Draco1214, both with 49.75 points.

3) Kaxon - 1149.41
4) Aprosenf - 1145.93
5) Karma Hunter - 1145.59
Today our top 3 stay the same once again, and DSRage has now been in first for 9 days. Cyko is still in second and Kaxon is still third. Aprosenf trades places with Karma Hunter, with Apro moving up to fourth and KH down to fifth. Tomorrow we're guaranteed to have at least one new face on our leaderboard no matter who wins.

5) Team fast start before bombing - 97.78 (Luis_Sera89: +48.68 / XxSoulxX: +49.10)
Weird Kirby Dude and ActJef's Team SPO*N is the top team of the day, with 99.19 points. The raytan and amyvitality's brother-sister duo, Team Klonoa Alliance, has a great day with a second place score. Team Jigglypuff takes third, followed by Team Jonflufflez. Team fast start before bombing is in fifth, showing that they haven't bombed completely yet even as we approach the end of the first round.

Team Rage of Warcraft drops one spot to fourth, and Team Happy Happyists once again has reason to be happy, making a triumphant return to the leaderboard.

Match #26 Results
Ganondorf 47.41%
Vincent Valentine 52.59%
The most anticipated and most divided match of round 1 started off with a bang, as Ganon took a lead with the board vote and the two went nearly dead even for close to two hours. But Vincent started to put together a solid lead during the night, and Ganon failed to mount any meaningful comeback during the day, merely stalling for a few hours before Vincent took off again. Today's match was an upset by the numbers: 67 predictions for Ganondorf vs 64 for Vincent, and a consensus of Ganon with 50.68%. The average score was 43.70.
Best Five Picks:
1) XIII is cool - Vincent Valentine 52.59% (+50.00)
2) Heroic Viktor - Vincent Valentine 52.83% (+49.76)
3) CaptainFlufflez - Vincent Valentine 52.33% (+49.74)
4) Jecht - Vincent Valentine 52.30% (+49.71)
5) Ayvuir - Vincent Valentine 52.93% (+49.66)
5) Rodri316 - Vincent Valentine 52.93% (+49.66)
Aggressive Vincent pickers were rewarded today. The biggest news of the top 5 is XIII is cool getting another perfect pick, his second of the contest - this ties him with Xuxon and Team Rocket Elite for the all time lead. Tnote had the second best pick, for his 20th lifetime top 5 pick. CaptainFlufflez was third, followed closely by Jecht. The fifth best pick was a tie between Ayvuir (with his 4th lifetime top 5) and Rodri, who scores his 31st lifetime top 5, putting him comfortably in the lead in that category.

3) Kaxon - 1197.71
4) Karma Hunter - 1194.84
5) Ed Bellis - 1191.63
DSRage, cyko, and Kaxon all picked Vincent, so yet again the top 3 remain the same - someone needs to shake these standings up! Karma Hunter gets to move up one spot thanks to Aprosenf taking Ganon, and Ed Bellis also moves up one spot from sixth to fifth. The changes are more noticeable on the extended leaderboard - Rodri and Draco both move into the top 10 today, while transience and Master Moltar fall out due to picking Ganon.

Top Team Scores:
1) Team The Spirit of Truth - 99.07 (Draco1214: +49.41 / Rodri316: +49.66)
2) Team Accident - 98.19 (MegatokyoEd: +48.63 / Rufus Shinra 18: +49.56)
3) Team Unfinished FFP - 97.66 (Ed Bellis: +48.41 / Karma Hunter: +49.25)
4) Team Dieroll - 97.62 (StopPokingMe: +47.91 / Jecht: +49.71)
5) Team Klonoa Alliance - 97.24 (raytan7585: +48.91 / amyvitality66: +48.33)
Team The Spirit of Truth racks up another top score after a few days out of the top five - with both Rodri and Draco breaking into the individual top 10 today, this was definitely a good day for them. Team Accident (MegatokyoEd and Rufus Shinra) get second, followed by an impressive score from the current leaders, Team Unfinished FFP. Team Dieroll (StopPokingMe and Jecht) gets fourth, while Team Klonoa Alliance continues to roll, scoring their second top 5 in a row.

4) Team Rage of Warcraft (War13104 / DSRage) - 2371.74
5) Team Happy Happyists (Camden / meche313) - 2364.40
Minimal changes in the team leaderboard today - the only movement is Team The Spirit of Truth making its return to the top 5 at the expense of Team mvp's, who both picked Ganon to win. Team Unfinished FFP and Team We Used To Be Good remain in first and second, and Teams Rage of Warcraft and Happy Happyists remain fourth and fifth.

Yeah. But the teams in front of us all picked Vincent so they got a lot of points, so we better start our move now..
Individually, I did fell a few spots. Not really that bad though.
Today's pick isn't as good as I thought, Prince has really done well.

Well, today Kirby's looking pretty well in line with his 2k4 and 2k3 performance, actually. His results last year looked pretty crazy at the time, and maybe they should just be thrown out the window this year... I was thinking about predicting today based on 2k4 Kirby, but didn't want to take that big of a risk after my nice boost yesterday. Ended up averaging Kirby's strength over the two years, I think.
Anyway, looks like I'll be seeing the top 10 tomorrow for the first time in over a year. :) Those last two seasons weren't too kind to me...

Match #27 Results
Kirby 61.70%
The Prince of Persia 38.30%
The Prince of Persia justified his spot as a nomination rally winner by breaking 38% against Kirby, well above expectations. The consensus was Kirby with 66.92% and the average score was 44.43. All 131 predictions were for Kirby.
Best Five Picks:
1) stingers135 - Kirby 61.70% (+50.00)
2) Kaidyn04 - Kirby 61.54% (+49.84)
3) JayLv100 - Kirby 61.51% (+49.81)
4) Lagoona - Kirby 61.50% (+49.80)
5) heroic_slb - Kirby 61.99% (+49.71)
Once again we have a perfect prediction, this time from stingers. He gets the best score of the match by exactly nailing Kirby's percentage. This is his third top 5 and third #1 pick of the contest. Kaidyn04 has the second best pick, followed by JayLv100 and Lagoona, who are all bunched together between 49.84 and 49.80. heroic_slb gets the fifth best pick.

2) cyko - 1249.52
3) Kaxon - 1243.91
4) Karma Hunter - 1241.16
5) Draco1214 - 1236.13
Cyko pulls to within 0.02 points of DSRage, but doesn't take the lead! Meanwhile, DSRage has now been in first for 11 straight days, which ties him for Rodri, Kaxon, and Morgoth's second longest streak. He's still got a ways to go before he catches up with Bananaquest or creativename, though. Kaxon remains in third (statistically his favorite position, with 32 days spent there lifetime), and Karma Hunter in fourth. Draco returns to the leaderboard today thanks to an excellent prediction - he was last there on day 15.

3) Team The Spirit of Truth - 96.36 (Draco1214: +49.70 / Rodri316: +46.66)
4) Team Illusion of Xenosaga - 94.43 (stingers135: +50.00 / X_Dante_X: +44.43)
5) Team th3 Bob - 94.19 (th3l3fty: +44.49 / Big Bob: +49.70)
Team Fibonacci (Lagoona and ScorpionX3) out predicts every other team today by nearly 3 points, with an excellent 99.49 point day. The Returners have the second best score, their AIM strategy session apparently bearing some fruit. Team The Spirit of Truth continues to do very well, scoring third. Team Illusion of Xenosaga takes a break from Xenosaga 3 to score fourth, and Team th3 Bob is fifth.

4) Team Rage of Warcraft (War13104 / DSRage) - 2461.11
5) Team Happy Happyists (Camden / meche313) - 2452.54
Things are boring once again in the team standings, with no movement among the top 7 teams. The most exciting happening of the day is probably Team The Spirit of Truth pulling to within a point of second place, while both they and Team We Used To Be Good? pull within 3 points of the lead. I think we can expect more of a shakeup tomorrow.
