Two bad predictions in a row?
Ah, this is looking really bad.

I want to kill that bloody cube.

I wish I was a little fish, I wish I was a bass.
I'd climb up on the rocks and trees and slide down on my... hands and knees.

I'm probably sitting on a high 48 score today right now, very, very good based on my other results. Cube will cost me 4 points overall though in the contest. I HAD the cube making it through, but changed it. Most of my changes have been good ones though, so can't complain about one bad pick.

Hmph, I'm actually 35th on the leaderboard today. Thought my chances of making that were done after I had Lucario>Marth round 2. Was never even checking until Ngamer mentioned joining all the others there, so that's good I guess :) Though I of course have Tidus in 2nd today.
Anyway, much more importantly, kawaiifan looks like she could be passing me this match...blech. 0.19 points behind indeed. That's about as close as you can get. Me no likey :(

Man, Nero is doing REALLY pathetic today. I was thinking he might go low, but I didn't think he'd be this low... and Amaterasu's performance prevented me from lowering him very much.

I did lower Nero slightly and was glad that I did so. I also raised WCC and Mega Man slightly and also liked those changes too.

This is the best streak I've ever had. In the last 5 matches I've had an average of 48.62 points and finished 2nd, 36th, 4th, 12th, and 3rd.
If only I could keep that up...

I thought I'd started doing badly too so stopped checking the leaderboard too. I just checked now after reading your post and I'm 19th. Wtf.

I need a lot of votes for Mega Man and not as many for Tidus in the last 15 minutes. The other two picks will cost me very little (got both right to well within 1%). Won't be enough to crack the 49 mark unfortunately, still hoping to do that at some stage this contest.

Match # 41 Results
Mega Man 36.51%
Weighted Companion Cube 28.62%
Tidus 22.75%
Nero 12.12%
The biggest surprise of today's match was Nero bombing much more than people expected. Otherwise expectations were pretty close to reality.
Consensus:
Mega Man - 35.98%
Nero - 15.38%
Tidus - 22.55%
Weighted Companion Cube - 26.18%
Best Five Picks:
1) RPGLord95 - MM 37.00% - Nero 12.00% - Tidus 21.00% - W.C. Cube 30.00% (+49.06)
2) yoblazer33 - MM 35.00% - Nero 14.00% - Tidus 23.00% - W.C. Cube 28.00% (+48.93)
3) cyko - MM 36.67% - Nero 14.12% - Tidus 22.73% - W.C. Cube 26.48% (+48.92)
3) WalrusJump - MM 38.07% - Nero 11.98% - Tidus 20.74% - W.C. Cube 29.21% (+48.92)
5) jonthomson - MM 35.00% - Nero 13.00% - Tidus 22.00% - W.C. Cube 30.00% (+48.87)
RPGLord95 gets his 3rd top 5 today, and the only pick over 49 points after our very high scoring days the last two matches. The rest of the top 5 is tightly packed - yoblazer gets second with 48.93, while cyko and WalrusJump tied for third with 48.92. jonthomson is fifth with a 48.87.

5) The Returners - 96.54 (cyko: +48.92 / steve illumina: +0.00)
Today's top 5 is dominated by leaderboard teams. Team Kirby gets the best of it and ranks first. Team We Used To Be Good? follows closely behind in second, and current leaders Team 31 get their 14th top 5 of the contest in third. The Happy Happyists meanwhile get their 15th top 5 of the contest in 4th. Finally, The Returners return to the top 5 for the first time this contest, minus steve illumina, who disappeared (as he inevitably does) - congrats to cyko on his top 5.

5) Team Predestined Divination (creativename / Ngamer64) - 3853.24
As the odd men out today (the only leaderboard team not to make the daily top 5), team Predestined Divination pays the price by dropping to fifth, allowing team We Used To Be Good? to pass them. At the moment this looks like a three horse race between Team 31, Team Kirby, and Team Happy Happyists.

Nice, I was right on Ryu bombing. I didn't understand all the low 20s picks when he couldn't even get 19 on Snake last year with weaker opponents than Zero/Vivi.

Excellent. My risky prediction has paid off for today and I hope to be able to move up in the rankings and get a top 5 prediction of my own.

Strangely enough, Old Snake seemed to overperform for once... maybe after MGS4 people like him better than before? Zero and Vivi both performed about as expected, but Ryu Hayabusa absolutely bombed, finishing with 2/3 as many votes as a guy he beat last round. This along with his match against Snake last year seem to suggest the two share some kind of fanbase...
Consensus:
Ryu Hayabusa - 20.49%
Solid Snake - 38.31%
Vivi Ornitier - 19.84%
Zero - 21.87%
Best Five Picks:
1) yoblazer33 - Ryu Hayabusa 17.00% - Solid Snake 40.00% - Vivi 21.00% - Zero 22.00% (+48.17)
2) blazndragon0 - Ryu Hayabusa 17.65% - Solid Snake 41.11% - Vivi 20.69% - Zero 20.55% (+48.15)
3) LeonhartFour - Ryu Hayabusa 16.90% - Solid Snake 44.44% - Vivi 19.46% - Zero 19.20% (+48.08)
3) SFF_potential - Ryu Hayabusa 14.51% - Solid Snake 39.72% - Vivi 23.62% - Zero 22.15% (+48.08)
5) Gaddswell - Ryu Hayabusa 16.75% - Solid Snake 40.37% - Vivi 22.31% - Zero 20.57% (+47.99)
Yoblazer... this guy is pretty good at predicting (Mario Kart aside). He has the top score today and his 7th top 5 of the contest. blazndragon0 gets second, while Leonhart and SFF_potential tie for third. Gaddswell gets fifth in this tightly packed top 5.

Should have gone with my hunch that Squall and Sora would be close. Didn't expect Yoshi to bomb like this though.

I really hope Midna bombs after I changed my prediction. I thought she could beat Pac-Man rather easily, but everyone is picking her so low...I'm in no position to keep losing spots, so yeah.

Match # 43 Results
Squall Leonhart 30.47%
Sora 28.31%
Yoshi 22.44%
Fox McCloud 18.77%
This is certainly looking like Square's best year since 2004... today Squall and Sora both managed to advance over Yoshi and Fox. What happened to the guy who beat Dante two years ago, and who beat Mario twice in a favorite Mario character poll?
Consensus:
Fox McCloud - 16.17%
Sora - 23.41%
Squall Leonhart - 33.70%
Yoshi - 26.65%
Best Five Picks:
1) supdawg - Fox McCloud 18.55% - Sora 28.79% - Squall 29.21% - Yoshi 23.45% (+49.25)
2) MoogleKupo141 - Fox McCloud 20.00% - Sora 25.00% - Squall 32.00% - Yoshi 23.00% (+48.34)
3) Yesmar - Fox McCloud 15.00% - Sora 28.50% - Squall 32.50% - Yoshi 24.00% (+48.11)
4) Heroic Viktor - Fox McCloud 20.00% - Sora 25.00% - Squall 30.00% - Yoshi 25.00% (+48.10)
4) ActJef1077 - Fox McCloud 20.00% - Sora 25.00% - Squall 30.00% - Yoshi 25.00% (+48.10)
4) Alanna82 - Fox McCloud 20.00% - Sora 25.00% - Squall 30.00% - Yoshi 25.00% (+48.10)
4) BlAcK TuRtLe - Fox McCloud 20.00% - Sora 25.00% - Squall 30.00% - Yoshi 25.00% (+48.10)
Supdawg is the winner today by a mile, with 49.25 points. MoogleKupo gets second with 48.34, followed by Yesmar with 48.11. There's a four way tie for 4th between Heroic Viktor, ActJef, Alanna, and Black Turtle. For supdawg, MoogleKupo, and Alanna this is their 3rd top 5 of the contest, for everyone else it's their first.

5) Mother Cat is a Landmine - 93.68 (Xuxon: +46.95 / GrapefruitKing: +46.73)
The Oracle has-been should have stuck around... supdawg once again powers his team to a top 5 appearance without a partner. The Dainty Assassins (Tnote and Cokes) are second, followed by MoogleKupo's team Épuration (another one-man team with the departure of tazzyboy). Team Détresse (Starion and TheArkOfTurus) gets fourth, and Mother Cat is a Landmine is fifth.

But anyways, I crack up every night when I see the match results, then compare them to the top of the leaderboard. creative didn't even have that large a lead on kawaii to start, she's beaten him something like 8 of the last 9 days... and yet she still can't quite catch up! She's got to be feeling a bit like Sisyphus by this point.

Had to wiki the myth reference, but yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about :) I wonder how often she checks the leaderboard. For a while every day when I've checked the leaderboard my lead has just kept shrinking and shrinking, except for a couple days ago I think. Just getting lucky so far I guess. But luck don't last forever...

Cloud Strife 53.49%
Mewtwo 16.91%
Midna 16.16%
Pac-Man 13.44%
Cloud looked like a stud today, continuing the trend of Square looking great this year and Nintendo looking bad. Mewtwo severly disappointed, and barely managed to beat out Midna.

Mewtwo 16.91%

Hmm, didn't even look at my pick before today started. Looks like I'm on the low side of average somehow with Raiden at 15? Where'd all the Raiden faith come from?

From putting up 43% directly on The God Of This Format last round! Though apparently he's not so divine anymore. Also we figured that while Naked Snake might be able to SFF-smash Raiden like what's happening right now, Old Man Big Boss would have a much tougher time hurting him.
Another awesome update! Team PD with a vicious cut on the rest of the contenders, plus creative loses yet another match... yet still stays on top of kawaii! Unfortunately he's only got room to let this happen three more times; talk about cutting it close.

Match # 45 Results
Kirby 31.47%
Master Chief 30.32%
Big Boss 26.17%
Raiden 12.04%
What happened to you, Chief? When you go from hanging with Solid Snake to losing to Kirby, things aren't looking so hot. Meanwhile Raiden demonstrated once again that people don't like him, no matter how much board 8 thinks they should.
Consensus:
Big Boss - 24.99%
Kirby - 27.35%
Master Chief - 30.98%
Raiden - 16.80%
Best Five Picks:
1) transience - Big Boss 28.00% - Kirby 30.00% - Master Chief 30.00% - Raiden 12.00% (+49.08)
2) RPGLord95 - Big Boss 24.00% - Kirby 33.00% - Master Chief 31.00% - Raiden 12.00% (+48.89)
3) mentalmike - Big Boss 24.00% - Kirby 31.00% - Master Chief 30.00% - Raiden 15.00% (+48.52)
3) GoldSlime35 - Big Boss 26.00% - Kirby 29.00% - Master Chief 30.00% - Raiden 15.00% (+48.52)
3) neonreaper - Big Boss 25.00% - Kirby 30.00% - Master Chief 30.00% - Raiden 15.00% (+48.52)
Tranny's Burger King predictions pay off big time! I'm going to have to start predicting from Burger King in London from now on. RPGLord gets second. In third we have a three-way tie between Luster's eternal rival (neonreaper), Luster's jilted former partner (mentalmike), and GoldSlime.

I said Ryu > Mega Man 62% or something by accident and I was (I think) 2nd place at the time. Now think of how painful that was! instead of a 0-2 difference (can't remember results exactly), I had a 24+ difference and the added -5 point for predicting the winner wrong.
I love Kax and KM for being so tough, though. Props to them.
I'm going to move this over into the discussion topic to see how other people feel about the way we run this contest. We've always placed an emphasis on running it like a serious competition, which seems like it's been pretty successful. But sometimes I do feel bad about enforcing the rules, Menji's 2600% is one big example. One of the main problems is that it's hard to draw a clear distinction between stuff that's completely obviously a mistake and something that's just probably a mistake. If I were going to try to apply my judgment to the situation, I would probably have allowed Menji to fix his, I would not allow Wigs to change his, and I'd still be losing sleep over what to do with DSR's. =) We've avoided that so far just by going with the "exactly as written" rule. What do the rest of you think about the strictness of rules enforcement in this contest?

Yeah, with some it's completely obvious what they intended, like with Menji's, but I like that you don't allow any wiggle room. Keep it as it is, imo.
Also, I've been doing terrible for all of round 2. :(

I think with the 2600% thing, you just have to give that to him.
But with someone typing the wrong character, well, that really sucks, but I don't think you can really do anything there. Otherwise it opens up a larger potential can of forms.
No can of worms with the 2600% thing though - pretty shocking to me that it wasn't accepted as 26%.

Dante - 33.60%
Hogger - 13.91%
Leon Kennedy - 27.96%
Riku - 24.49%
Best Five Picks:
1) PeaceOut64 - Dante 34.10% - Hogger 12.40% - Leon Kennedy 30.30% - Riku 23.20% (+49.41)
2) DSRage - Dante 35.21% - Hogger 12.99% - Leon Kennedy 29.97% - Riku 21.83% (+49.34)
3) Paratroopa1 - Dante 33.00% - Hogger 14.00% - Leon Kennedy 30.00% - Riku 23.00% (+49.15)
4) Dilated Chemist - Dante 34.56% - Hogger 12.24% - Leon Kennedy 29.90% - Riku 23.30% (+49.13)
5) oneills1 - Dante 34.10% - Hogger 11.30% - Leon Kennedy 30.95% - Riku 23.65% (+49.11)
PeaceOut64 gets the best pick - despite being on the leaderboard most of the contest, this is his first top 5 this year. DSR gets second, and Para gets third. DC and oneills one round out this high-scoring top 5.

3) PeaceOut64 - 2168.67
4) Camden - 2167.88
5) The n00b Avenger - 2167.74
PeaceOut's top score allows him to reclaim third place. Over the last few days he's gone down 2, up 2, down 2, up 1, up 1, ending up back where he started but being by far the most volatile member of the leaderboard. Kawaiifan also has an excellent day and narrows the gap with creativename back to .18 points, but still hasn't managed to overtake him for more than just that one day quite a while back. creative has been in first place 31 days this contest, which matches his total from his impressive SC2k5 run. Only four people have ever been in the lead for 31 days total (the others being n00b Avenger, King Morgoth, and Bananaquest), and creative has done it twice in two different contests.

Top Team Scores:
1) 31 - 98.29 (PeaceOut64: +49.41 / The n00b Avenger: +48.88)

5) Predestined Divination - 96.93 (creativename: +48.59 / Ngamer64: +48.34)
Team 31, ladies and gentlemen. I guess when both team members are in the individual top 5, you tend to do pretty well in the team standings. This is their 15th team top 5 this contest. Team Palace of Wisdom gets second (their 10th top 5), followed by Team Kirby, who rack up their comparatively paltry 7th team top 5. Behind them are Team Ice Cream (8 top 5's) and Team Predestined Divination (11 top 5's).

Even though only six teams in the ENTIRE CONTEST moved in today's standings, three of them are on the leaderboard (and one more is dropping off the leaderboard today). Team Happy Happyist's triumph was short-lived, as Team Kirby passed them back up today - but they only lead by .01 points. Team Mother Cat is a Landmine passes Team We Used To Be Good? to move back onto the leaderboard.

creative has been in first place 31 days this contest, which matches his total from his impressive SC2k5 run. Only four people have ever been in the lead for 31 days total (the others being n00b Avenger, King Morgoth, and Bananaquest), and creative has done it twice in two different contests.
Wow, cool.
I don't recall about how close people got at times on that other run, but this one has been *super* luck-aided and flukey, with how close kawaii has gotten so many times.
It's nice to see numbers like that, but it's just largely just a quirky luck thing this time. And there looks to be another great shot that I won't make it to to day #32.
