SpC2k6 Oracle Challenge - Round 3
From: Menji76 | Posted: 7/21/2006 8:06:49 PM | Message Detail
Actually if you figure SMB is a tad lower than FF and WC is a tad higher than Diablo then around 80 seems right.

lolx tells me

Mario (2005c) VS Diablo (2005c)
Mario wins with 71.97% of the vote!

But Blizzard is such an odd animal... it's unbeatable in a close match, obviously, but deflates so easily when its clear that it hasn't a snowball's chance at the victory. And after seeing the way FF was able to deflate the fanbase so easily, and after noticing how awesome Mario looks in this sprite pic, I think the bubble is going to burst very early in this one.

Right before the match we both kept raising our Tifa picks, and I remember you saying that almost exactly. Then Tifa falls flat on her face. And although I only raised my prediction once, I was seriously considering going higher.

Ah, I see.

BTW I just looked at that match. Apparently our predictions of Tifa with 62 scored better than Luigi with 50 picks. That's terrible.

Kudos to our fair leaders for changing that scoring system :)

They'd gain 3.36 points at least from where they were before. Going to well below a high Tifa pick (which is pretty unfair), to potentially just above.

Castlevania 48.67%
Kingdom Hearts 51.33%

Nifty computer: $2,000
Surfing the web, still living with your parents: free
Laughing at all your friends who still don't use cable internet: free
Cable dying at 11:45, right after typing "Kingdom Hearts with 50" but before hitting "Post Message": priceless

Yeah, i'm still bitter. Not like I'm fighting for the lead anyway =P

Oh, yeah, we had a match on our hands...
OMG Bracket upset! Somehow, Halo was the favorite of this 4-pack, and while 2/3 of the brackets had Kingdom Hearts losing in Round 2, the Oracle contestants saw it coming. There were 54 predictions for Castlevania and 80 for Kingdom Hearts, pulling the consensus at 52.63% for Kingdom Hearts, and allowing us to score an average of 42.73 points, pretty good considering the split.

Best Five Picks:
1) Aprosenf - Kingdom Hearts 51.29% (+49.96)
2) cyko - Kingdom Hearts 51.42% (+49.91)
3) Shivan Reincarnated - Kingdom Hearts 51.44% (+49.89)
4) kaonashi1 - Kingdom Hearts 51.07% (+49.74)
5) ps2rulezzz - Kingdom Hearts 51.80% (+49.53)

Experienced talked yesterday, as most of the Top 5 predictors are regulars of this feature. Aprosenf took the best pick of day with his 3rd Win and 9th Top 5. cyko follows in 2nd place, taking his 2nd Top 5 of the contest and tying Ringworm's record with his 28th (!!!) All-Time Top 5! Shivan Reincarnated grabs his 2nd Top 5 of the season in 3rd, as regulars kaonashi1 (2nd this contest) and ps2rulezzz take 4th and 5th, both with their 13th All-Time Top 5

2) TheKnightOfNee - 896.38
3) Z1mZum - 895.89
4) kaonashi1 - 892.46
5) GalacticMage777 - 890.60

*looks around*
Alright, time for an apology. I would never never have thought I'd say this someday. And the first time he got on the leaderboard I thought he'd hold there, do something crazy and fall never to come back.
How wrong I was.
steve illumina takes the lead. Yup folks, Board 8's resident sage is laughing at every single one of us as he climbs up one spot for the lead, on his 11th day on the leaderboard. What's even more impressive is the fact that he is the only one in the Top 20 to have called the right winner each and everytime. TheKnightofNee doesn't feel like giving steve more room would be a good idea as he also climbs one spot in 2nd, barely edging former leader Z1mZum who stands in 3rd and well within striking distance of the lead. kaonashi1 jumps from 7th to 4th with a great pick and GalacticMage777 returns to the leaderboard in 5th.

Team No Probalo! keep 2nd but drop quite a bit while the girls are on a roll and take 2 more steps towards the lead in 3rd place. Team lol xstats and Team 55 both get pushed down one spot in the process as the fight continues behind the leaders.

AWESOME!! being down in 90th place with no shot at the leaderboard, i take a bit of solace in still being able to at least shoot for Top 5 picks. it seems much tougher to get Top 5 picks this contest, though. how many people have gotten 3 or more Top 5's so far this contest??
