Match #59 Results:
Crono 55.38%
Vincent Valentine 44.62%

After two months, Crono completes his long but easy road to the final four against a possibly Advent Children-boosted Vincent. Did Advent Children downloads increase Vincent's strength between rounds 3 and 4? The world may never know, but I'm sure the statheads will debate about it extensively in the offseason. Today there were 67 Crono predictions and 2 Vincent predictions. The consensus was Crono with 57.67% and the average score was 46.41.

Best Five Picks:
1) GrapefruitKing - Crono 55.22% (+49.84)
2) Alanna82 - Crono 55.55% (+49.83)
3) King Morgoth - Crono 55.11% (+49.73)
4) Claude Rena - Crono 55.69% (+49.69)
5) BigtoeOfJebus - Crono 55.00% (+49.62)

Today GrapefruitKing gets the best prediction, for his second top 5 of the contest. Alanna, who's been doing very well since she almost gave up hope a month ago, took second for her fifth top 5. King Morgoth took third, for his third top 5, Claude Rena was fourth with his second top 5, and BigtoeOfJebus got his fifth top 5 in fifth place.

2) Darkash - 142.91

5) GrapefruitKing - 140.30

It sure looks like Heroic Viktor is trying to make a comeback - after three matches, he stands at the top of the round 4 leaderboard. Second is Darkash, who had top 5 predictions in both of the first two matches of the round. Ngamer64 uses up his extra life to make it to third place on the round 4 leaderboard, exactly 3 points behind Heroic Viktor. Captain Flufflez is fourth and GrapefruitKing is fifth, separated from each other by only 0.08 points. The round 4 title is still up for grabs as we go into the final match of the round.
