You don't deserve perfect predictions if you always predict to the nearest whole percent. :P :/

Sure you do. You deserve it just as much for picking the last two digits randomly. Honestly, who seriously picks the last two digits with the belief that that's exactly what'll happen? Picking the last two digits right is complete luck, and if it happens that the match ends on a whole percent it'll be much more likely some people (or many) will get a perfect prediction, but so be it.

I usually pick the whole percent that I believe it will be, and then I choose the last two digits based on where other people are, so I'm not too crowded. If it happens to be a whole number... that's fine too.

Match #50 Results
Tifa Lockhart 66.05%
Princess Peach 33.95%

Tifa wins a relatively uneventful match against Peach - the most exciting thing about this match was probably seeing just how much Peach benefitted from the Nintendo Power Hour, pulling in over 38% at the start of the poll. The consensus was Tifa with 64.06%, and the average score was 46.43. 105 people picked Tifa and one (catldr24) picked Peach.

Best Five Picks:
1) Luster Soldier - Tifa Lockhart 66.05% (+50.00)
2) Team Rocket Elite - Tifa Lockhart 66.00% (+49.95)
2) Big Bob - Tifa Lockhart 66.00% (+49.95)
4) Haste2 - Tifa Lockhart 66.20% (+49.85)
5) zwong1 - Tifa Lockhart 65.89% (+49.84)

Today Luster Soldier made a perfect prediction, the 15th of the contest. This is Luster's 3rd top 5 of the contest, and all of them have been scores of 49.97 or better (two firsts and a fifth). Team Rocket Elite and Big Bob tied for second - this is the 2nd top 5 for both of them this contest. SC2k3 champion Haste 2 gets the fourth best pick, followed by newbie zwong1 with the #5 prediction. This is Haste's 28th lifetime top 5.

Match #51 Results
Aeris Gainsborough 43.13%
Zelda 56.87%

The match that was considered the highlight of the female bracket before the contest started turned out to be a rout for Zelda. The Princess of Hyrule broke 60% during the Nintendo Power Hour and cruised to an easy victory, despite Aeris winning updates during the night time. 100 oracles picked Zelda to win, while 12 had faith in the last of the Cetra. The consensus was Zelda with 53.84% and the average score was 45.92.

Best Five Picks:
1) Lopen - Zelda 56.87% (+50.00)
2) Leebo86 - Zelda 56.86% (+49.99)
3) GoldSlime35 - Zelda 56.66% (+49.79)
4) Aprosenf - Zelda 57.19% (+49.68)
5) KleenexTissue50 - Zelda 56.47% (+49.60)

Hit or miss Lopen hits a home run today with a perfect prediction for Zelda. This is the third day in a row we've had a perfect prediction. It's Lopen's fourth top 4 of the contest. Leebo86 gets the second best prediction with a 49.99, for his second top 5 of the contest. GoldSlime gets third - he's had 5 top 5's this contest and 26 lifetime. Aprosenf has the next best score for his fourth top 5 this season, and KleenexTissue rounds out the top 5 with his second top 5 of the contest.

Hmm, it would seem I've posted my Tifa prediction here instead of the other Oracle topic. It was well in time, is it possible for it to be added to my score?

Yes, I will count it because you didn't have any prediction in the other topic, so it clearly was a mistake.

NOTE: predictions in this topic won't count if you made a prediction in the other topic. However, if I notice a prediction here I'll cut and paste it into the other topic, in which case it would count.

For the record, I also updated alpha door's predictions to include this one:

http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/detail.php?board=8&topic=31414405&message=344358175

Predictions without the percent sign do count. (People can point out predictions without percent signs and get them added, therefore we have to be consistent and count all predictions without percent signs - if you notice one, please point it out). Alpha door pointed this one out to me, although I don't think he realized it would cost him points.

I feel like it's all going to pretty much come down to the winners of Snake/MM and Samus/Crono, and perhaps how Zelda/Samus pans outs, for me. I doubt Cyko's predictions for the other matches are going to leave enough room for improvement to gain any significant ground consistently.

Match #52 Results
Yuna 60.84%
Chun Li 39.16%

Yuna continues her streak of three consecutive very impressive performances, this time by breaking 60% against Chun Li. Will she be able to impress again next round against Zelda? The consensus was Yuna with 56.87% and the average score was 57.25. 110 people picked Yuna and 4 backed Chun Li.

Best Five Picks:
1) Xuxon - Yuna 60.77% (+49.93)
2) JayLv100 - Yuna 61.01% (+49.83)
3) BeTheMan - Yuna 60.50% (+49.66)
4) Ikon - Yuna 61.25% (+49.59)
5) DarkLink89 - Yuna 61.33% (+49.51)

Oracle Legend Xuxon gets the top pick of the day, and in the process moves up 6 spots to 8th place - could he possibly pull off a third title, or at least another top 5 finish? JayLv100 continues to rack up top 5's, this time with the second best pick - this is his 7th top 5 of the contest. BeTheMan has the #3 pick, followed by Ikon at #4 and DarkLink89 in fifth.

5) Salient - 2367.88

Cyko remains in first for the 11th straight day, which puts him in the top 10 for longest streak at #1. Aprosenf holds on to second and gains a little ground on cyko, but is still 7 points back. Draco and PeaceOut64 each climb one spot while Salient drops two places to fifth.

Team AAA gets the best score by a good margin today. They're followed by Team Go Go Gadget Copter!, who appear in the top 5 for the second day in a row. TRE and Xuxon's team makes their fourth consecutive top 5 appearance. Despite their great run, they've only gained one place in the standings, but they're 9 points closer to first than they were. Team Coinflip gets the fourth best score, and yoshifan manages another solo team top 5, despite having to drag RX7's dead weight along with him.

Hmm, if I can keep up my run of high scores going, I think I might make a new record for highest climb in the ranks throughout the contest (if there even is one). I started out 3rd to last I believe, somewhere in the 120th range. Now I'm 41st.

Side note: first time glancing through this topic, first time noticing MegatokyoEd. Poor guy :( Unless it was 100% out of my control to miss one match, I'd be somewhat bummed out. Then again, this is just for fun, so it's not as bad as if he would be forfeiting a cash prize or anything for first place.

Match #53 Results
Solid Snake 57.16%
Yoshi 42.84%

For once the Nintendo character didn't do better during the first hour than during the rest of the day - this board loves Solid Snake. Yoshi shaved off percentage throughout the day, but Snake still cruised to an easy victory. The consensus was a Snake with 57.87% and the average score was a very good 47.64 points. All 107 predictors had Snake winning the match.

Best Five Picks:
1) Vlado - Solid Snake 57.16% (+50.00)
2) amyvitality66 - Solid Snake 57.15% (+49.99)
3) Aprosenf - Solid Snake 57.28% (+49.88)
3) Karma Hunter - Solid Snake 57.04% (+49.88)
5) kawaiifan - Solid Snake 57.00% (+49.84)
5) Big Bob - Solid Snake 57.00% (+49.84)
5) yoblazer33 - Solid Snake 57.00% (+49.84)

Interesting top 5 today. Vlado gets the highest score with a perfect prediction, joining the "two perfect predictions" club. The other members of the club are Xuxon (the original) and Team Rocket Elite and XIII is cool, who both did it this contest. Amyvitality gets an unlucky second place with a 49.99 score. Third is a two-way tie between former #1 Karma Hunter and current #2 Aprosenf. Finally, we have a three-way tie for fifth between kawaiifan, Big Bob, and yoblazer.

Side note: first time glancing through this topic, first time noticing MegatokyoEd. Poor guy :( Unless it was 100% out of my control to miss one match, I'd be somewhat bummed out. Then again, this is just for fun, so it's not as bad as if he would be forfeiting a cash prize or anything for first place.

The worst part is that it's the second time it's happened to him. During the Villains contest, he missed a match when he was in third place, and his final average for the contest would have landed him in fourth place.

Thats still not as bad as losing the title for making a crappy placeholder pick and not paying attention....

Both times it's happened to me my internets crapped out right before I was about to make the pick. I blame Comcast >_>.

Finally...a "risk" that I was actually accurate on. though I didn't really even consider it a risk. I might've overshot it still, though...and to think I was contemplating lowering my MM pick yesterday... I hope the morning vote's the best time for Sora.

well played, Aprosenf! you are heading towards first with a vengeance. i'm trying to hold you off, but you've cut down the lead significantly over the past few matches. Snake vs. Megaman really might be the deciding match in the oracle challenge as well.

Why thank you. I dare say I've been on fire in round 3:

Place | Me | Winner | Pick | Points
60) Aprosenf Samus Aran 66.59% 47.59
6) Aprosenf Tifa Lockhart 66.32% 49.73
4) Aprosenf Zelda 57.19% 49.68
13) Aprosenf Yuna 59.72% 48.88
3) Aprosenf Solid Snake 57.28% 49.88
12) Aprosenf Mega Man 53.89% 49.61

This looks to be an exiting finish in the race for first place.

Well, I'm pretty much out now. Before I left for work, I posted my Sonic/Luigi prediction as Crono with ______

lol xstats

Lesson learned: send in predictions for the whole round, then change as necessary. Just to have a backup in case of something like this >_<
