Match # 5 Results
Marcus Fenix 36.79%
Kefka 31.99%
Tom Nook 18.69%
Zelos Wilder 12.53%

For the second day in a row we had a surprise winner! Although Marcus wasn't as much of a shock as Scorpion was, Kefka was still favored by more than four times as many Oracle predictors as Fenix to win the match. 39 people didn't have Marcus finishing first or second. The other surprise of the day was how well Tom Nook did and how poorly Zelos did. Apparently Animal Crossing DS has helped Tom Nook gain popularity since 2003. The consensus predictions were: Kefka - 34.86%, Fenix - 27.95%, Tom Nook - 14.72%, Zelos Wilder - 22.24%. The average score was 42.87.

Best Five Picks:
1) daniel2424 - Fenix 40.24% - Kefka 28.24% - Tom Nook 18.24% - Zelos 13.28% (+47.90)
2) jonthomson - Fenix 40.00% - Kefka 29.00% - Tom Nook 17.00% - Zelos 14.00% (+47.66)
3) KingBartz - Fenix 37.00% - Kefka 35.00% - Tom Nook 13.00% - Zelos 15.00% (+47.15)
4) NeoMagic249 - Fenix 30.87% - Kefka 30.18% - Tom Nook 19.28% - Zelos 19.67% (+46.13)
4) supdawg - Fenix 29.26% - Kefka 31.78% - Tom Nook 18.81% - Zelos 20.15% (+46.13)

Thanks to the surprising results, we didn't have any predictions over 48 points today. Those who did do well for the most part foresaw Tom Nook doing well and Zelos bombing. Old timer daniel2424 had the best score with a 47.9, followed by jonthomson with 47.66. KingBartz was third with the only other 47 point score, while NeoMagic249 and supdawg tied for fourth with 46.13.
