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.

*takes a bow and updates the sig* :) Thank you thank you thank you!

1. Pick Castlevania to win its match.
2. Make a really low SMB prediction.
3. Go out drinking while everyone else realizes that Warcraft is going to get crushed.

Self-destruction sequence: complete.


XD You're still up there, it's not over yet! I laughed more than I should have though...

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??

Z1mZum, IhatethisCPU and XxSoulxX have 3 Top 5's this contest and 12 people are tied with 2 Top 5's. Gotta love the database...

And you know there's a problem if I'm getting Top 5 picks because I literally just look at who is in the day's match and type a number randomly that looks good. I don't look at trends or x-stats or whatever.

I also pick according to my bracket which is why I had that stupid Silent Hill pick in the first round. Unless I'm absolutely sure my bracket is wrong, I'll guess by that.

It makes you think with all those SSB predictions, and most of them higher than what a close match should be, to try and make some ground by picking Sonic.

But, I won't. Since Day 1 I have been sure that this match will go SSB's way, and with that pic I haven't changed my mind in that fact that it'll do better (or worst).

There's a thing though. In close matches on this contest I have a great 0/4. That's right. I was incorrect on Halo/Castle, GTA/War, MM/MK and Castle/KH. So, think. Maybe you'd want to change to the Sonic side while you can, because I'm here to jynx'd you all.

With all that said:

Yes, it's the SpC2006's resident fool, Darkash, back for another round of beatings! When he's not completely picking the wrong winner, he's 10+ points off! He'll thrill with his amazing run of bad picks! He'll send shivers down your spine at his complete inability to string two good picks together! He'll make you laugh at his inadequencies and cry at his ignorence!

From the rules in the first post of every topic:
Correctly choosing the winner earns you 50-x points.
Incorrectly choosing the winner earns you 45-x points.

In the past it was 45-2x, I figure that's what you were inquiring about...

lolx sort of tells me that

Sonic (2005c) VS SSB Melee (2004g)
SSB Melee wins with 53.42 of the vote!

...wow, that actually comes out pretty reasonably. This is by far the toughest decision I've had to make this Contest. Originally I was expecting the Nboost to carry Kart to a tight victory in a match I thought would clearly prefigure this one, but it didn't happen. And CV taking down Halo so easily certainly shook my confidence in the "new school." But then KH strikes back for the current generation, Nintendo continues to look fantastic, a major Zelda SFFing makes it seem that MM has become more Nintendo than ever, and then I see that it will be the Sonic Team facing off against Nintendo's Dream Team in this awesome match pick.

Hate to put too much faith in Nintendo after I was burned by it once, but... you just don't win betting against the Oracle consensus, it seems.
