SC2k5 - Oracle Challenge - Round 2 - All Divisions
From: Kaxon | Posted: 8/27/2005 12:47:38 AM | Message Detail
Match #39 Results:
Kirby 57.65%
Tidus 42.35%

Today Kirby pretty much demolished the FF X star, winning a match that wasn't in doubt after the first few minutes. This match makes Cecil look a bit better, and I think Kirby has to be considered a contender for the division title now. There were 23 Kirby picks and 60 Tidus picks. The consensus was Tidus with 51.19% and the average score was a pretty dismal 29.80 points.

Best Five Picks:
1) warning_crazy - Kirby 57.36% (+49.71)
2) CaptainFlufflez - Kirby 55.55% (+47.90)
3) Nai - Kirby 55.00% (+47.35)
4) Ringworm - Kirby 54.71% (+47.06)
5) yoshifan823 - Kirby 54.64% (+46.99)

warning_crazy has the best prediction today, in only his ninth Oracle prediction ever. He's also the only one to score over 48 points in today's match. Second place goes to CaptainFlufflez, with his fourth top 5 of the contest. Nai gets third place for his third top 5, top 5 king Ringworm gets fourth for his fifth top 5, and yoshifan823 gets fifth for his second.

Complete match ranking:

Current Leaderboard:
1) creativename - 1695.73
2) Heroic Viktor - 1692.97
3) Haste2 - 1687.41
4) Xuxon - 1685.32
5) StopPokingMe - 1679.34

For the third day in a row, fifth place is the only spot on the leaderboard that changed. This time we traded one Oracle stalwart for another one, as StopPokingMe took over fifth place from Master Moltar. Fun fact: of the four people who have predicted every Oracle match, three of them are currently in the top 6 (StopPokingMe, Master Moltar, and Haste2). The fourth one is now also in the top 10, and you should be able to guess who it is. =)

Related sad fact: Rodri316 was the only person who had predicted all but one of the Oracle matches, until he missed his second match yesterday due to a hurricane.

Full standings:

Gear Division Leaderboard:
1) Ringworm - 225.57
2) BeTheMan - 222.52
3) yoshifan823 - 222.05
4) ECW RVD420 - 220.58
5) RPGuy96 - 219.61

We have some different faces here on the Gear Division Leaderboard. Ringworm leads by a margin of three points, but BeTheMan and yoshifan823 are definitely still in the running. ECW RVD420 and RPGuy96 are a little farther behind, but still have two matches to make up ground.

Wow, that's... unexpected.

Not sure why I had Tidus on my bracket for yesterday, as I honestly thought Kirby would win the match (see here). Guess that's what happens when you don't check your bracket.

- Nintendo's looking great
- 69 on CATS is not impressive
- 65 on Sam is quite impressive
- Frog = way overrated = MC = way overrated
- halo.bungie.org has refused to link to any more GameFAQs polls
- good, highly recognizable pic for DK, along the lines of those of Kirby and Bowser
- I need a big move to get me back in the Oracle hunt

With all these in place, the answer seems clear:

Master Chief 50.43%

...sorry, but the choker reputation is hard to shake off. Look at what Tommy did to him in the final hours of that match. Ditto Duck Hunt. Ditto Aya. Ditto the entire last half of the day for Sam. I've just got this bad feeling that DK's going to fight back to take lead, then find a way to fumble it away in the last minutes.

Prove me wrong, you big ape!

Donkey Kong with 50.01%

Simply put, Frog was horribly overrated in 2k4 by his match against Snake, and as a consequence so was Liquid and Chief. Adjusting for that, DK is actually the statistical favorite going into this... yet it still feels so wrong for some reason. Buuuut after chickening out at Kirby/Tidus and forgetting to raise my Bowser prediction, I need something to get back in top contention. Also, I'm counting on the head shot style pic to hurt Chief the same way it did with Samus. So basically, this is the best potential upset I could ever hope for and I can't afford to pass up on it.

Match #40 Results:
Bowser 58.98%
Ryu 41.02%

We're now at the end of our gauntlet, and ever match has been a bigger blowout than the one before it. Today Bowser scored nearly 59% against Ryu, more than Sonic, Snake, and Samus did in the last three years. There were 12 Ryu predictions and 72 Bowser predictions. The consensus was Bowser with 54.45% and the average score was 42.95 points.

Best Five Picks:
1) spawnofdarkness9 - Bowser 58.58% (+49.60)
2) Menji76 - Bowser 58.54% (+49.56)
2) KingBartz - Bowser 58.54% (+49.56)
4) RPGLord95 - Bowser 58.49% (+49.51)
5) jonthomson - Bowser 58.27% (+49.29)

Today's best predictor was spawnofdarkness9. Just 0.04 points behind him we had a tie for second place between Menji76 and KingBartz. RPGLord95 was in fourth (still only 0.09 behind spawnofdarkness9), and jonthomson was fifth.

Complete match ranking:
http://www.oraclechallenge.com/archives.php?contest=SC2k5&type=match&match=40

Current Leaderboard:
1) creativename - 1741.25
2) Heroic Viktor - 1737.82
3) Xuxon - 1731.67
4) Haste2 - 1728.43
5) StopPokingMe - 1725.91

The only change on the leaderboard today is that Xuxon passed Haste2 to take second place. There were no other changes in the top 10 at all today. Creativename's streak is now at 20 days in first place, which means he's now past the halfway point to challenging Bananaquest's record 38.

Full standings:

1) Ringworm - 269.78
2) ECW RVD420 - 269.71
3) Nai - 268.75
4) BeTheMan - 268.54
5) Starion - 268.04

Today the Dream Division leaderboard is vastly closer than it was yesterday. Ringworm is still in first, but now by a mere 0.07 points over ECW RVD420. Nai, BeTheMan, and Starion are also all within 2 points of first place, so this division crown will be highly contested in the division finals.
