Me and yoshifan retain top spot in the Team battle with 2, slightly too high Metal Gear picks.

And I get into the top 30!

Sess, you have to include the percent sign or it won't be counted. Just a heads-up.

Is there anyway I can fix this now? It's just a percentage sign. >_>

Match #5 Results
Metal Gear 69.89%
Soul Calibur 30.11%

Today Metal Gear performed the way a 1 seed should against an 8 seed, manhandling Soul Calibur from wire to wire. Several people in the stats topic considered Metal Gear's performance surprising, but they should have asked us what was going to happen - the Oracle consensus was Metal Gear with 70.54%. The average score was 43.56 points.

Best Five Picks:
1) Dilated Chemist - Metal Gear 69.96% (+49.93)
2) Luis_Sera89 - Metal Gear 69.80% (+49.91)
3) Applekidjosh - Metal Gear 70.00% (+49.89)
3) King Morgoth - Metal Gear 70.00% (+49.89)
5) SephirothG - Metal Gear 70.01% (+49.88)

Today almost counts as a star-studded top five: we have two former Oracle Champions in our top 5. The best prediction belongs to Dilated Chemist, the guy known for success in spring contests (one of which he won). Luis_Sera89 has the second best prediction with 49.91 points, slightly edging out the people who predicted Metal Gear with 70%. Tied for third are Oracle newcomer Applekidjosh and former champion King Morgoth, who both predicted Metal Gear with 70%. The fifth place spot goes to SephirothG, who placed 0.01 points behind them. In an interesting coincidence, this is the 24th top 5 prediction for both Dilated Chemist and King Morgoth, while it is the first top 5 prediction for Luis_Sera, Applekidjosh, and SephirothG.

Complete Match Ranking:
http://www.oraclechallenge.com/archives.php?contest=SpC2k6&type=match&match=5

Current Leaderboard:
1) XxSoulxX - 242.28
2) Lightbearer75 - 242.00
3) swirldude - 241.06
4) yoshifan823 - 237.22
5) Camden - 236.60

The leaderboard continues to stabilize as we get farther into the contest. Today XxSoulxX passes Lightbearer75 for the overall lead. This is the first Oracle Challenge for both Soul and Lightbearer, but they're definitely doing well so far. Swirldude moves up one spot to third place, only a little over a point out of first. Yoshifan climbs back into fourth place after spending a day off the leaderboard. And taking the fifth place spot with a great prediction is Camden, one of the users featured in the pre-contest "10 Most Dangerous Competitors" feature. Tsunami70, who was in first two days ago, dropped down to 14th place today.

Top Team Scores:
1) Team We Used To Be Good? - 98.28 (King Morgoth: +49.89 / Kaxon: +48.39)
2) Team Snowball's Chance in Hell - 97.97 (PeaceOut64: +49.19 / chocoboslayer: +48.78)
3) Team No Probalo! - 97.69 (Lagoona: +48.80 / Xuxon: +48.89)
4) Team Jigglypuff - 97.61 (Alanna82: +48.72 / kawaiifan: +48.89)
5) Team Happy Happyists - 97.60 (Camden: +49.49 / meche313: +48.11)

OMG hax!! In first place today is Team We Used To Be Good?, featuring King Morgoth and Kaxon! We'll have to wait and see whether they might still be good or this is just a fluke. The second highest scoring team of the day is Team Snowball's Chance in Hell with PeaceOut64 and chocoboslayer, who both made excellent predictions. In third place is Team No Probalo! featuring Lagoona and defending champion Xuxon. This leaderboard really does qualify as star-studded, as right behind them is Team Jigglypuff with Alanna82 and another former champion, kawaiifan. Fifth place goes to Team Happy Happyists with Camden and meche scoring 0.01 points less than Alanna and kawaiifan.

Complete Team Match Ranking:
http://www.oraclechallenge.com/archives.php?contest=SpC2k6&type=teammatch&match=5

Team Leaderboard:
1) Team lol xstats (yoshifan823 / BlAcK TuRtLe) - 467.20
2) Team No Probalo! (Lagoona / Xuxon) - 465.71
3) Team Happy Happyists (Camden / meche313) - 463.45
4) Team mvp's (ps2rulezzz / basmeyer42) - 463.37
5) Team Jigglypuff (Alanna82 / kawaiifan) - 460.65

Finally, the team leaderboard. There was a big shakeup on the team leaderboard today, with only one team remaining from yesterday's leaderboard: Team lol xstats. Team lol xstats (with yoshifan and Black Turtle) moves up from second to first today. In second place is Team No Probalo!, who moved up 5 spots due to their excellent predictions. The Happy Happyists are back on the leaderboard in third place after a one-day hiatus. In fourth is Team mvp's, featuring ps2rulezzz and basmeyer42. Finally, Team Jigglypuff, considered on of the strong contenders for the team title, moves on to the leaderboard for the first time.

Additionally, today is the first day with no numbered teams on either leaderboard. Finally!

I couldn't care less about the votes. SH is bringing FE's percentage down. If it manages to bring it down 1 full percent, I'll get a perfect prediction.
