Match # 50 Results
Mario 32.73%
Mega Man X 29.44%
Liquid Snake 21.92%
Luigi 15.91%

For once we overestimated the effects of SFF - while Mario and Mega Man X were close in the predictions, Mario won the match easily, and Liquid Snake also did worse than expected. Sadly, the voters still haven't realized that Luigi is the better Mario brother.

Consensus:
Liquid Snake - 23.40%
Luigi - 16.35%
Mario - 30.52%
Mega Man X - 30.02%

Best Five Picks:
1) Xuxon - Liquid Snake 21.00% - Luigi 16.50% - Mario 32.50% - Mega Man X 30.00% (+49.42)
2) Yesmar - Liquid Snake 20.42% - Luigi 16.14% - Mario 33.89% - Mega Man X 29.55% (+49.25)
3) Justin_Crossing - Liquid Snake 22.91% - Luigi 16.12% - Mario 31.16% - Mega Man X 29.81% (+49.21)
3) DpObliVion - Liquid Snake 23.50% - Luigi 15.50% - Mario 32.00% - Mega Man X 29.00% (+49.21)
5) andylt - Liquid Snake 23.00% - Luigi 16.00% - Mario 31.00% - Mega Man X 30.00% (+49.13)

Many-time champion Xuxon has another top pick to add to his collection. Yesmar gets 2nd place for the 2nd day in a row, which is kinda cool. Justin_Crossing gets his first-ever Oracle top 5, tying with DpOblivion for third, while andy takes fifth.
