I'm not expecting any SFF in this match. If Kirby avoided being SFF against Bowser, he should do just fine against Metroid.

lol x-stats tells me that

Samus (2005c) VS Kirby (2005c)
Samus wins with 58.04% of the vote!

Kirby (2004c) VS Samus (2004c)
Samus wins with 66.31% of the vote!

I feel that both characters are well-representative of their series and benefit about equally from Smash Bros exposure. Kirby can avoid NSFF, as the Bowser match showed, so I expect the same to hold true for the series. Hm... and Kirby is very recognizable and cute on that match pic, which is clearly working for Pikachu today, so I'm going to go with

Metroid - 63.17%

People overestimated Kirby Too Much IMO...Kirby will only take the day vote because of his TV Show, which I don't think is to popular.

And the rest of it belongs to Metroid. Samus is in the Noble Nine for the reason.

Match #3 Results
Pokemon 65.74%
Star Ocean 34.26%

In a match that some considered debatable, Pokemon took a big lead early and cruised to an easy victory. The best that can be said for Star Ocean today was that it managed to avoid being doubled. The Oracle Challenge just keeps growing, and there were 153 Pokemon predictions and 8 Star Ocean predictions for a total of 161, another new record. The consensus prediction was Pokemon with 60.25%.

Best Five Picks:
1) Javman162 - Pokemon 65.56% (+49.82)
2) Dunkeroo23 - Pokemon 66.00% (+49.74)
3) Tsunami70 - Pokemon 65.42% (+49.68)
4) kaonashi1 - Pokemon 66.07% (+49.67)
5) Read_Only_Thx - Pokemon 66.27% (+49.47)

Today's best prediction was made by Javman162, who scored 49.82 points. This is Javman's second #1 prediction in only 23 career matches. However, honorable mention goes to Sir Chris, who would have scored 49.96 if he had posted his change before the deadline. The second best prediction of the day belongs to Oracle newcomer Dunkeroo23. Tsunami, another new Oracle competitor, has the third best pick with 49.68 points. kaonashi1 has the fourth best prediction and Read_Only_Thx has the fifth best prediction.

Complete Match Ranking:

Current Leaderboard:
1) Tsunami70 - 147.52
2) Lightbearer75 - 146.69
3) fortybelowsummer - 146.45
4) yoshifan823 - 145.59
5) Vlado - 145.46

Tsunami70 climbs 8 spots on the overall leaderboard to take over first place! Former leader The n00b Avenger dropped 54 spots due to a prediction that was 12% too low. Lightbearer75 climbs 10 spots from yesterday to land himself in second place. In third is fortybelowsummer, the sole holdover from yesterday's leaderboard - he moved up one spot from fourth. Yoshifan823 jumps from 18th place to 4th, and Vlado moves up from 6th to 5th, edging his way onto the leaderboard.

Top Team Scores:
1) Team 45 - 98.52 (IhatethisCPU: +49.26 / XxSoulxX: +49.26)
2) Team Robo Chocobo Remix - 96.20 (Inviso: 48.74 / Vlado: 47.46)
3) Team 4chan party van - 94.00 (RX7InfinitiIII: +48.74 / goku z: +45.26)
4) Team No Probalo! - 93.90 (Lagoona: +47.14 / Xuxon: +46.76)
5) Team Eden - 93.89 (TheCruelAngel: +48.85 / ad00: +45.04)

Today's top scoring team by a 2 point margin is team 45, IhatethisCPU and XxSoulxX. Both made exactly the same prediction, and it turned out to be a good one, Pokemon with 65%. The second highest scoring team is Vlado and Inviso's Team Robo Chocobo Remix. Team 4chan party van, featuring RX7 and goku z, had the third best score with 94 points. Close behind them were Team No Probalo! (Lagoona and defending champion Xuxon), and Team Eden (TheCruelAngel and ad00), with 93.90 and 93.89, respectively. In a break from the last two days, four of today's top teams had real names, and only one of them was a random team.

Complete Team Match Ranking:
Check back tomorrow

Team Leaderboard:
1) Team 47 - 283.04 (fortybelowsummer / StopPokingMe)
2) Team 44 - 280.87 (ps2rulezzz / basmeyer42)
3) Team Happy Happyists - 280.69 (Camden / meche313)
4) Team Crab People - 280.18 (Caelus / th3l3fty)
5) Team Moltar and DC are Going Down - 279.50 (Z1mZum / WiggumFan267)

Team 47 (fortybelowsummer and StopPokingMe) are able to hold on to the lead for the second day, but their margin has decreased slightly. Team 44, consisting of ps2rulezzz and his friend basmeyer42, moves up into second place with a decent showing for the day. Team Happy Happyists drops one spot from yesterday down to third place on the leaderboard, due to being outscored by 4 points by Team 44. Team Crab People (Caelus and th3l3fty) makes its first appearance on the leaderboard, using consistency to work its way up into fourth place. Finally, Team Moltar and DC are Going Down (Z1mZum and WiggumFan267) moves into fifth place. There may be something to their team name, as Team Moltar and DC is currently in 40th place.
