A true Guru goes down with his bracket! And even though my bracket went down ages ago, I'll... dive for it, I guess

Mario 52.79%

Never bet against Old School sprite Mario! It's going to be... hammer time.

.Well, I think my prediction will be a relief for all Samus predictors, as until now, every time I went against my bracket - and in almost every close match - I had made the wrong choice. And this time too, I'm only raising my pick a bit, not changing my winner going against my bracket:

Mario with 50.2%

Match #56 Results:
Mega Man 68.08%
Yoshi 31.92%

Mega Man blows Yoshi away with a fully-charged shot from the Mega Buster, and we're on to the final stage of the contest, where the heavy hitters will duke it out for the title. Today all the predictions were for Mega Man, and the consensus was Mega Man with 57.66%. The average score was 39.58 points.

Best Five Picks:
1) Dilated Chemist - Mega Man 65.00% (+46.92)
2) Sephirot1 Returns - Mega Man 64.20% (+46.12)
3) jonthomson - Mega Man 62.58% (+44.50)
4) RPGLord95 - Mega Man 62.11% (+44.03)
5) Ed_Bellis - Mega Man 62.07% (+43.99)

Today, not seeing the results of Mega Man vs Leon or the effects of the Nintendo boost works as an advantage for Dilated Chemist, and he scores the top prediction with the highest Mega Man prediction anyone made. Second is Sephirot1 Returns, who would have scored his third top pick in six days if not for Dilated Chemist. jonthomson takes third for his second top 5 of the contest, and RPGLord95 also gets his second top 5 in fourth place. Ed_Bellis closes out the top 5 with his first top 5 of the contest.

2) creativename - 2466.06
3) Master Moltar - 2462.63
4) Haste2 - 2456.59
5) StopPokingMe - 2455.16

Xuxon retakes the lead from creativename today, and now leads by 0.15 points, his biggest lead of the contest. Creativename drops down to second, and Master Moltar, Haste2, and StopPokingMe all keep their places in 3rd-5th.

3) Xuxon - 311.53
4) Yesmar - 310.85
5) Garsha - 310.44

Who Cares? wins our final division, holding on to the lead he took in match #48. Eggplant Lord finishes narrowly behind, moving up quite a bit with a good prediction today. Third is Xuxon, the new frontrunner, who moved up from fifth on day 48. Yesmar takes fourth place and Garsha finishes the 20XX division in fifth.

I don't know what my round 3 was (probably not great), as it was posted in the last topic, but I'm pretty sure it was higher than that.

This last two days have been a disaster. A Mega Man pick took me five spots down? Damn.

I picked Samus also, and Mario is killing her. So I'm maybe even getting off the Top 25. I was doing so well.

What does this means? I'm not throwing my Bowser pick. I should, but hell, I won't.
