Match #60 Results
Crono 49.23%
Sonic the Hedgehog 50.77%

Sonic finally manages to get over the hump and becomes the final member of the Noble Nine to beat another Noble Niner. Sadly, he ended Crono's contest run and prevented Crono from taking revenge on Mario in the Battle Royale. The consensus was Crono with 51.24%, and 73 people picked Crono to win the match while only 23 picked Sonic. the average score was 44.09.

Best Five Picks:
1) charmander6000 - Sonic the Hedgehog 50.85% (+49.92)
2) Lopen - Sonic the Hedgehog 50.89% (+49.88)
3) MegatokyoEd - Sonic the Hedgehog 50.91% (+49.86)
4) FastFalcon05 - Sonic the Hedgehog 51.00% (+49.77)
4) Big Bob - Sonic the Hedgehog 51.00% (+49.77)

Charmander6000 is the top scorer today. This is not only his first top 5 of the contest, but his first top 5 since 2004 (although he only predicted 8 matches in 2005). Hit or miss Lopen made the second best prediction, for his 5th top 5 of the contest. MegatokyoEd gets third - his average is now high enough to put him well ahead of the competition if only he hadn't missed a match. FastFalcon and Big Bob tie for fourth. This is the first top 5 of the contest for FastFalcon, while it's the fifth for Big Bob - he now has 1 first, 1 second, 1 third, 1 fourth, and 1 fifth place this contest.

Current Leaderboard:
1) cyko - 2743.13

4) Draco1214 - 2738.80
5) PeaceOut64 - 2737.12

Cyko again hangs on to first despite predicting the wrong winner for the second match in a row, but his margin has now evaporated completely. He leads Salient by 0.06 points, with Aprosenf another 0.38 points behind Salient. This is looking like the closest race to the finish we've ever seen! Salient and Aprosenf each move up two spots today, while Draco and PeaceOut move down two spots by picking the wrong winner.

We also saw defending champ Xuxon move up two spots today to seventh, and Kaxon, ActJef, and King Morgoth all returned to the top 10 with their Sonic picks.
