Grading the "Top 10 Contenders"

Before the contest we picked out our top 10 competitors to watch out for... now it's time to see how they did! The purpose of this feature is to see how good our predictions were rather than focus on the achievements of the competitors... a somewhat subtle distinction, but I don't want anyone on here to think I'm picking on them.

Honorable Mention - Heroic Viktor
Finish: 52nd Place - 42.94 average (31 matches)

Coming into this contest, Heroic Viktor was coming off a 4th place finish in SC2k5, where he spent a significant amount of time in first place. His high-variance, aggressive style seemed like it had a chance to pay off in a short contest, but as it turned out, he got the downside of that variance this time around. He had two top five predictions, but his contest didn't live up to expectations.

Prediction Grade: Miss

#10 - Ngamer64
Finish: 49th Place - 44.40 average (30 matches)

All the competitors on our top 10 list have one thing on common that immediately sets them above a random Oracle Competitor - all of them except Ngamer, that is. The trait I'm referring to, of course, is predicting all the matches. Ngamer's curse this contest, as usual, was that he missed a match in the middle of the contest. His average would have been good enough for 15th place if he'd maintained it for the missing match, but as it was he finished in 49th place. He did have a third place team finish, as a bright spot to his contest.

Prediction Grade: Miss

#9 - Dilated Chemist
Finish: 43rd Place - 43.36 average (31 matches)

Dilated was coming off an extremely strong 2005, where he had a higher average than Player of the Year creativename predicting 96 out 97 matches. However, he wasn't able to maintain his momentum into this contest. He started off slow, and was able to improve his ranking some in the second round, but wasn't able to match the lofty heights of his 2005 finishes.

Prediction Grade: Miss

#8 - ps2rulezzz
Finish: 9th Place - 44.62 average (31 matches)

Next we get to our first success story of the contest, ps2rulezzz! King Morgoth and I flagged ps2 as the 8th most dangerous competitor coming into the contest, and he finished 9th - not bad, I must say. He also managed to win the team contest with his partner basmeyer. Ps2rulezzz has been one of the most consistent performers around - he's now finished in the top 10 three times in four contests. In this contest he spent a lot of time hovering just outside the top 10, before moving up into the top 10 in the final week. Thanks for making us look good!

Prediction Grade: Hit

#7 - Haste2
Finish: 46th Place - 43.23 average (31 matches)

Haste2 has one of the most impressive contest records of any Oracle competitor, and it earned him the #7 spot on this list. But he was also predicting by email for the first time this contest without following the board, and that definitely made things harder for him. I'll be hoping to see him return to the board at some time in the future to see what he can do.

Prediction Grade: Miss

#6 - Master Moltar
Finish: 32nd Place - 43.80 average (31 matches)

Master Moltar seemed like a pretty safe pick for this list - he'd predicted every match ever, and had finished no lower than 18th in any of the Oracle Challenges. This time around, he was solid but not spectacular, finishing 32nd in the expanded field we saw this contest. The highlight of his contest came on day 6, when he scored 49.95 points and tied for the best prediction with two other members of his analysis crew, yoblazer and therealmnm.

#5 - Xuxon
Finish: 1st Place - 45.06 average (31 matches)

Success! Here's a little secret - if you win the contest, you're guaranteed to be on my top 10 list for the next one. Xuxon justified that rule by coming back to win his second contest in a row. Xuxon managed to fly under the radar for a lot of the contest (where he hovered in the 6-10 range), but he moved up when it mattered, and didn't let go of first once he took it. I can't wait to see what he does next time around!

Prediction Grade: Hit

#4 - Camden
Finish: 7th Place - 44.74 average (31 matches)

One of the most entertaining parts of the whole contest for me was watching Camden and his race for 6th place shape up over the last 10 days of the contest. Although he ultimately fell short, I don't think anyone's going to count getting 7th against him in the long run. With this contest Camden may have established himself as the single most consistent Oracle competitor ever, as he's never finished lower than 9th or higher than 7th in four contests.

Prediction Grade: Hit

#3 - King Morgoth
Finish: 33rd Place - 43.65 average (31 matches)

The Spring 2004 winner showed occasional flashes of brilliance this contest, but his campaign was derailed by some questionable picks early on, and he was never really in contention. He did manage to pull things together in the second round though, and improve his ranking into the respectable range. The most successful part of his contest may have been his 6th place team finish. Now that he's gotten warmed up, we'll have to see what he can do in the big one - the upcoming Character Battle V.

Prediction Grade: Miss

#2 - kawaiifan
Finish: 15th Place - 44.37 average (31 matches)

Not every contest can end in a top 10 - even when you're kawaiifan, it seems. This was kawaiifan's lowest finish and the only time she's ever finished outside the top 10. By the standards kawaiifan's set this contest might be considered a disappointment, but for most competitors it would be a success. Finishing in the top 15 of the largest Oracle Challenge ever demonstrates once again why kawaiifan is the Oracle Queen. She also finished second in the team challenge, not a bad addition to her resume at all.

Prediction Grade: Near-Miss (would be a hit if you factor in her team finish)

#1 - creativename
Finish: 10th Place - 44.53 average (31 matches)

Creativename, the 2005 Player of the Year, just squeeked into the top 10 of the final standings, moving up 1 spot on the last day. Since this is the top 10 competitors list, a top 10 finish = success. Creativename started off in the "respectable" range of the standings, but was able to put together a successful second half run to move himself into the top 10.

Prediction Grade: Hit

Verdict:
4/11 (36%) of the people on our list made the top 10, compared with 10/180 (6%) of all competitors or 10/71 (14%) of competitors that predicted every match. I think that has to be considered a success, but we can definitely do better! Next contest I'm aiming for at least 5/10.

SpC2k6 Oracle Challenge - Biggest Surprises

I really need to go to bed, but I'll throw these out there quickly - the people who were the biggest surprises of the SpC2k6 Oracle Challenge!

Honorable Mention - Team Rocket Elite
TRE, sometimes known as the supercomputer, has been part of the Oracle Challenge since the beginning, but he's never been known for his success in these contests - until now. I guess that just goes to show you how hard it is for a computer to predict these matches! This time around, TRE managed to pull off an 8th place finish. That, along with his 10th place team finish as part of the surprisingly effective Team Jay Solano, make Team Rocket Elite one of the biggest surprises of the contest!

#5 - steve illumina
No offense to the sage of board 8, but up until this contest it was hard to take his comments very seriously. For one thing, he was known mostly for his humorous and satirical commentary, and for another, he never did especially well in this contest. However, for a while during SpC2k6, steve was on top of the world - first in the Oracle, first in the Guru, with dreams of a perfect bracket in his head. Things eventually came crashing down, but his impressive mid-contest run was enough to land him a spot on the biggest surprises list.

#4 - Lightbearer75
Lightbearer certainly made his mark on the contest - a brand new competitor spending 7 days in first and 7 days in second during the first round. But the big surprise came on day 17, when he didn't register any predictions for the second round. It was then that we realized that Lightbearer had been schooling us all with predictions he made three weeks before the beginning of the contest - he never showed up to tweak his predictions, and in fact, never returned at all after the third page of the first topic.

#3 - Xuxon
When you win the Oracle Challenge, people expect big things from you. But... maybe not that big. Maybe the best thing about Xuxon's repeat is that he announced that he planned to do it a year ago. If we'd listened to him, maybe we wouldn't have been so surprised about him winning the contest again.

#2 - Ness26 and TheKnightOfNee (tie)
Okay, this is kind of a cop-out, but I don't think I can mention one without the other. Both Ness26 and TheKnightOfNee came into this contest for the first time, and put up some amazing numbers, finishing 2nd and 3rd out of a field of 180. Getting successful new people is what keeps this contest going, so I hope they both come back next time around!

#1 - Goldslime35
Goldslime predicted the first three Oracle Challenges, and did respectably. But he'd missed the last two Oracles, so I don't think anyone was expecting him to come back and put on the kind of show that he did. After round 1 Goldslime was in 49th place, but he proceeded to put together one of the most impressive runs ever, outscoring everyone else by over 13 points in the second half. To make things even more painful for him, he lost over 20 points on an obvious mistake, picking Mega Man with 80% against Mario Kart. Although that mistake cost him the title, it definitely didn't cost him the respect he earned with his achievements. Congratulations to him!

I had a great run and surprised everyone, and earned a lot of respect from many doubters across Board 8 here, in Guruland and in the bracket itself...only to fall apart thanks to that damn Sonic...miserable failure.

Guess this means Ill have to do something so no one forgets me...win the next one :)

Nice job on the repeat Xuxon, very nice indeed. The Sage salutes you!

And Kaxon, thanks for the writeup...yes...they were dreams...snuffed out by a character I never took a chance on before...and never will again!

Beaten by Z1m...may he revel in his Guru glory!

Thanks...I never expected to do so well. I figured I'd get around 20-40th like my first 3 times, and I thought I was dead after my botched pick.

I'll definitely be back for the character battle this time.

It looks like I didn't come anywhere close to beating my worst prediction ever. Hayabusa still holds that honor.

Huh? Finger!? What the hell? -Cloud
Don’t worry. Have a nectarine. -Christopher Walken

That Sora/Hayabusa four pack was very very bad for me in 2004. I had Sora > Hayabusa in my bracket, but missed every single match of the four pack in the oracle challenge, because I was so far behind from missing the first four matches, that I thought I would try some insane risks in the first round. Then by the second round, I admitted defeat, and figured it wasn't worth the risk of picking Sora, and he goes and wins >_<
---
Take off every sig.

This contest would've been a lot better if it was all Final Fantasy matches. My top three picks were all FF matches, and my worst FF-related pick was only 46.30. Fire Emblem, on the other hand... I didn't even top 38 points in either of those matches. I had no grasp of that game's popularity at all.

Also, someone remind me to sign up for team battles next time. It'll add to the fun. I didn't sign up for them this time because I was afraid I would be paired up with some veteran, pull down the team, and make them angry with my bad predictions. But I'm sure I'll find someone to pair up with next contest. =P

Just looked up the results of those matches...I bombed the first one, did decent in Ryu's match, then I won Sora vs Ryu because everybody underguessed and I made the highest prediction.

Pretty funny stuff.

Though I can't believe so many people picked Ryu after he barely won his first match.....

Well, most people expected that both Ryu and Jill were stronger than Sora by a good margin. 40% on Squall looks a lot better than 33% on Aeris. In most people's minds, it was just a question of whether Ryu was stronger than Jill or not.

I'm still not sure why I picked Sora in my bracket. I think I assumed Jill overperformed, because Luigi = Jill didn't make sense to me. Too bad I missed Luigi/Yoshi and Mario/Crono, or I could have won a prize.
---
Take off every sig.

That was still when I wasn't very familiar with how everything worked in the contests. I've entered every one, but never kept track of them until the Best Game Ever contest. I was still under the impression that anything XBox was going to have the same support that Halo had, and since Halo looked slightly stronger than Kingdom Hearts again Starcraft I just assumed it was still going to happen. Hell, I scored more on Magus/Knuckles than I did Hayabusa/Sora.

Interesting statistic: Vincent/Kerrigan was my worst match where I predicted the correct winner.

Another interesting statistic: There are five matches where I didn't predict the correct winner yet scored more points than I did on the above.
---
Huh? Finger!? What the hell? -Cloud
Don’t worry. Have a nectarine. -Christopher Walken

Without checking, I'd guess Metroid/Pokemon is my worst that I picked the correct winner.

Let's see... Kirby/Cecil beats it. Barely. I scored a whopping 32.51 points. And I have FIFTEEN matches where I predicted the wrong winner, that scored more points than that. Way too many upsets I took or didn't take, but completely hedged.
---
Take off every sig.

I'm somewhat of a Pokemon fan, and I knew it was popular here, so I made a low Metroid prediction. And I was still off by 6 points.

Reason I won post-Round 1 by so much was that nearly everyone bombed that match and SMB/SSB, while I did well on both.

My worst match ever was the infamous Luigi/Squall shocker.

The rest of my bad predictions seem to be from 25-x, or over/underestimating games and SFF matchups.

My worst correct pick was the MM/MK pick that cost me the title. Got killed on Mario/Shadow too.

You really don't want to see my worst pick <.<

There are actually surprisingly few predictions in Oracle history that were bad enough to get 0 points under the new scoring system. For a while I've been thinking about posting a list of the worst predictions ever, but I held off because I didn't want to make anyone feel bad. Maybe I'll do that before the start of the next contest. 6 of the 10 worst predictions ever were made in the contest we just had.

We're talking about predictions way worse than that. Even with the new scoring system, there are three 0's and the whole bottom 10 is under 10 points.

I know Vincent vs Kerrigan is the worst I predicted the right winner.

Haha...assuming that x-stats are going to be involved in this next contest, expect me to do pretty well, despite how I did this past contest. I've gotten 1st, 6th, and 8th in the contests that were able to take advantage of a lot of x-stats. Also, I hugely applaud Xuxon for taking the two biggest Oracle titles thus far. Not only that, but Xuxon has proven that he's a master at predicting with OR without x-stats.

Big props and thanks to Kaxon for running this massive project/contest. I'm really amazed at how much work you've put into this, and how great it's all become. If I ran the Oracle challenge I wouldn't have ever tried to make such a major site, since I wouldn't have expected people to appreciate it enough. But, I'll tell you that I appreciate the site a LOT, and I bet many others do, as well. Also, big thanks to King Morgoth for lots of help. And, I'll never forget solarshadow.

6 of the 10 worst predictions ever were made in the contest we just had.

Those that Camden and others said. Also, somebody picked Diablo to beat Final Fantasy in this contest...

King Morgoth: ...each nailing your 4th Top 10 finish, something only kawaiifan had done before.

I...er...um...hate to break it to you, but there was a mistake in the Sp2K4 contest...in fact, it was there at first, but then it was fixed, then the error occured again. In the Halo/Starcraft prediction I original predicted Halo with 59.xx% before changing it to Halo with 54.xx%. You originally left out my change by accident before I pointed it out to you and you made it my proper prediction. I ended up in 10th place at the end of the contest. Then, a whole bunch of things happened, Kaxon took over, and suddenly I found that I was in 11th place again with the original wrongly-recorded Halo/Starcraft pick.

I hate taking that 10th place away from Master Moltar, though. :[

So, on my honor...I indeed already had four Top 10 finishes. >.>

Hey, it's not my fault! He had a vision for the Oracle and tricked me into doing the website! Alright, so I tricked him into believing I knew what I was doing, but that's besides the point. And it turned out pretty well didn't it? Thanks a lot for the comments on the site, they make the (very) long hours worth it.

Funny I pulled that like 2 days ago, and it's quite appropriate now. Traffic quite literally exploded this spring, and though I have like no free time these days, I'm hoping to add a few more features before the next contest starts. 50,000 page views and 10,000 predictions would be nice this summer...>_>

solar was the one running SpC2k4 ;)
looking through archives, I'll have to agree on this one, was 59.48%, changed to 54.48%, it's 59.48% on the old website (which I used to extract the data for the database) but it's fixed on solar's spreadsheet. I'll change it in the database right away, which will rightfully kick you back up to 10th. Sorry Moltar! :/
Hopefully, that's the only thing that got mixed up when we moved the 12,000 old predictions into the database.
