From: Kaxon

Welcome to the Oracle Challenge, the contest that tests your prediction abilities down to the hundredth of a percent! Please note the new deadline for predictions - you now have 45 extra minutes to get your predictions in.
The Challenge
For each match in the GameFAQs Summer Contest you need to pick a winner and predict the percentage of the vote they will receive. New participants are still being accepted until at least the end of round 3 (please indicate that you are new and make a minimum of three picks).
Post your predictions in this topic, one prediction per line. Your predictions must be in one of these formats:
Link with 85%
Link 55.13%
Link over CATS with 67.55%
Link - 77.5%
Please use one of these formats, and always remember to include the % sign. Do not use other formats such as "Link w/" or "Link: ".
The Scoring
For each match you will earn points based on how close your guess was to the actual outcome. Scoring is cumulative and the winner of the Oracle Challenge will be the person with the most points at the end of the final match. For each match you can earn anywhere between 0 and 50 points. This depends on whether you correctly picked the winner and how close your guess was to the actual percentage. The scoring system works as follows:
Correctly choosing the winner earns you 50-x points.
Incorrectly choosing the winner earns you 45-2x points.
(Where x is the difference between your guess and the character's actual percentage.)
Example:
Your guess: Link with 65%
My guess: CATS with 55%
Actual result: Link 60%, CATS 40%
Your points: 50 - (65-60) = 45 points
My points: 45 - 2*(55-40) = 15 points
Bonus points are awarded for the closest five guesses each match but do not factor into the overall scoring. They are used only as a side ranking. Participants will also be ranked by average score from time to time.
The Rules
It is necessary to have a few rules to keep the challenge running smoothly. They are:
1) A valid entry consists of a clear pick and prediction (i.e. Link with 85.03%). The prediction must be greater than or equal to 50.00%. No alts, please. If you make a prediction with an alternate account, make it clear what the name of your normal account is.
2) Your prediction does not need to be different from everybody else’s guess. However, intentional and continuous prediction mimicry will not be allowed.
3) All predictions must be made fifteen minutes before the usual start time of that match’s poll (approx. 2:45am EST, 1:45am CST, 11:45pm PST). Predictions submitted after this time will not be counted or may be subject to penalty. No predictions will be accepted after a poll has started, regardless of the start time.
4) You may change your prediction for any match at any time, subject to the rules above. Please indicate clearly that this is a change to a previous entry.
5) You may not delete any post in a prediction topic (if you do, please post immediately after to explain the deletion). This is to prevent abuse of the above rule (and to reduce confusion).
6) You may predict matches in advance if you need to. Please tell me beforehand so we can arrange this.
7) I reserve the right to disqualify a pick for any justifiable reason.

I'm now accepting predictions for every match in which the competitors are already fixed:
ROUND 3
Gear Division
Solid Snake vs Sora
Dream Division
Kirby vs Bowser
Flood Division
Master Chief vs Crono
Devil Division
Vincent vs Squall
Chaos Division
Sonic vs Tifa
20XX Division
Mega Man vs Yoshi
ROUND 4
Mario vs Samus
You can predict additional Round 4 matches as soon as the competitors have been decided for certain. No conditional predictions, please. We'll probably need conditional predictions in round 5, but for now you can still predict everything 4 days in advance without them.

The farther this tourney progresses, this Nintendo Boost is making itself more and more apparent, and as a result, Snake's big win over Zelda just keeps looking more and more impressive. And I know pics shouldn't matter this late in the game, but, holy smokes, tomorrow's is almost too cool for words, and is sure to bring out the Snake-fan in anyone. All the pieces seem to be in place for a big win here.

That Snake vs Sora pic is almost unfair. Sora is smaller, is more in the background, and his name is smaller. WTF?
But the pic effect is overrated and my change yesterday was for the worse and I can't picture Sora to be very much weaker than Zelda, so I'll settle at

And new, going against my bracket here:
