Hm... seems to me that people are going a tad high on Samus today. I think Ness just proved that being from a cult RPG doesn't mean instant death here at GameFAQs (yes, yes, I realize that Smash Bros has alot to do with that, but still). And she wasn't able to manage 75 on Isaac a couple years back, as I recall.

We have some conflicting information so far in this contest... Ness did better than expected, but Lloyd (another cult RPG character) did worse. We'll see pretty soon what happens, but it does seem like she should be able to beat Yuri worse than she beat Lara and Sam.

Current Score: 2/3 | Today: Lloyd over Wesker

I figure Laharl is Yuri's ceiling. And with a possible increase from Metroid Prime 2, I think most of the predictions are on the money.

Samus did get just over 75% on Issac...but that was the same year that Felix managed 50,000 votes on Master Chief, so Golden Sun must have had something working for it. :-P

Match #4 Results:
Lloyd Irving 54.69%
Albert Wesker 45.31%

Another day, another surprising result in the Summer 2005 contest. Today Lloyd was overwhelmingly favored to beat a returning competitor who wasn't thought to be very strong. Like CJ, he performed below expectations, but unlike CJ he was able to pull out the win. There were 100 picks for Lloyd and 0 picks for Wesker. The consensus prediction was Lloyd with 63.62% and the average score was 40.93 points.

Best Five Picks:
1) Janors - Lloyd Irving 54.61% (+49.92)
2) BigtoeOfJebus - Lloyd Irving 55.02% (+49.67)
3) Xenobi - Lloyd Irving 54.30% (+49.61)
4) Ringworm - Lloyd Irving 54.20% (+49.51)
5) Do not even ask - Lloyd Irving 55.50% (+49.19)

Returning predictor Janors, who went missing between SC2k3 and SC2k5, takes the top prediction today with 49.92 points. Janors, BigtoeOfJebus, Xenobi, Ringworm, and Do not even ask are all in the top 5 for the first time this contest, however, Ringworm has been there many times in previous contests. With his #4 pick today, he ties Rodri316 (who was sixth today) for most lifetime top 5 picks, with 22.

5) Figlar20000 - 174.66

Hm. 8th, I thought I was going to get 6th, so that doesn't hurt quite so bad, but how come I always come up short on top 5 picks? Grrr. Frustrating. Went with a fairly ambitious pick today too, which may hurt me. :\
