Hmm... Ryu's got a much sweeter pic this time around, but I'm under the impression that, with Ninja Gaiden having died off in the past year, he's going to be a decent amount weaker this time around.

ALL YOUR VOTES ARE BELONG TO...Pac-Man?

Match #2 Results:
Ness 55.14%
Carl Johnson 44.86%

The second match of the contest was an absolute shocker, with the heavily favored CJ failing to even gather 45% of the vote. We had 94 predictions for Carl Johnson and a mere 4 wise predictors who chose Ness. The consensus was CJ with 56.71% and the average score was an abysmal 21.68 points.

Best Five Picks:
1) Z1mZum - Ness 51.28% (+46.14)
2) RPGuy96 - Ness 51.21% (+46.07)
3) Figlar20000 - Ness 50.01% (+44.87)
3) Heroik Viktor (tnote827) - Ness 50.01% (+44.87)
5) Haste2 - Carl Johnson 50.00% (+34.72)

Today we have an Oracle first - Haste2 makes the top 5 picks despite predicting the wrong winner. Today these should probably be labeled the five least bad picks, as they barely scored over 46 points. Despite that, I don't think today's top 4 are going to be complaining too much about their scores compared to the field.

Complete match ranking:
http://www.oraclechallenge.com/archives.php?contest=SC2k5&type=match&match=2

Current Leaderboard:
1) RPGuy96 - 94.73
2) Z1mZum - 94.13
3) Heroik Viktor (tnote827) - 93.07
4) Figlar20000 - 91.97
5) Haste2 - 83.82

Here we see some familiar faces - everyone with a top 5 prediction today moved onto the leaderboard, with Figlar20000 moving up a whopping 64 places from yesterday. There's already a 5 point gap between 5th place and 6th place, thanks to the horrible averages we saw today.

I think Squall/Luigi was the worst. Kuja/Master Hand being a close second.

The King of all Cosmos' route to summer victory:
Round 1: (4) Tidus... LET ME DREAM :

Squall/Luigi was worse, and the amazing thing is that under the current scoring system there would have been even more zeroes (25 instead of 13, or more than 40%). The average score would have been a little higher, though. I'm pretty sure yesterday was the worst modern (post 2k3) average.

Oh wow, I had no idea Squall/Luigi was THAT bad o_o

I'm so upset I wasn't around for Luigi/Squall. Not from a prediction perspective, of course, as I would have probably taken Luigi with over 60%... but mass suicides seems like lots of fun.
