Hahaha... I may have been a joke in contests past, but now Lopen is invincible!

I must thank you, Leonhart, I needed a protagonist opposite myself that the people could get behind...so I could crush him. Then drag his defeated body and use it as an instrument to beat the competition into submission.

I shall rule this #1 for all time!

Don't get too concerned. I was in the top 10 for like the first week of the last Character Battle.

Suffice it to say, it didn't last!

(But the dreadful bond Lopen and I have forged shall persist!)

From: Haste_2 | #148
I picked Guybrush in the Oracle Challenge, too, but then again I enjoy being bold rather than trying to make good picks, only to screw up. And THAT is why I am #19 today and will be like #80 tomorrow. ;)


Thank goodness I didn't team with you

I could never join forces with a dirty Guybrush picker.

Just in case the original Oracle topic purges, here's my post for the Bartz prediction, complete with no percentage sign (have no idea why I forgot it):

From: PartOfYourWorld | #378
Mega Man X vs. Zero - 75%
Bartz vs. Gilgamesh - 65

It's not updating automatically, so I assume it has to do with the personal schedule of whoever is doing the updating.

I'm extremely tempted to go low on Luigi/Waluigi because Cecil/Golbez is such a better rivalry, but Golbez is one of my favorite video game characters ever so I'm not sure if I'm thinking with a clear head there...

I went low on Luigi/Waluigi (about 55%) because I'm rather cautious about Waluigi hurting Luigi because the rivalry sucks.

The top 5 was nice while it lasted. I was waiting for The Walking Dead/Hell on Wheels to start and completely forgot to make a prediction, leaving me with my safety from day one. Definitely would have raised that 66% prediction based on what's happened so far in this contest.

The Trainers fell a quite a bit overnight, so I'll probably end up being off by only about 6% instead. Not bad, but I think after this match, I'll be able to get back into the groove again.

I'm really struggling with how to treat Waluigi and Golbez... if it was Luigi vs. Cecil, it would be a pretty ho-hum result in the 60's, but I don't know which rival affects his protagonist more.

Like... an Oracle if you took the average of every guess on each match and made that your entry?

If you go to the website and Match Results then there's an average at the top in green. So like for the last match it was

Pokemon Trainer Red vs. Pokemon Trainer Blue 76.92% 44.09

EDIT: But there isn't like an entry that keeps track of all those scores combined.

76.92% is not the average, it's the actual poll result. The 44.09 is the average score.

Chin up Justin. You're still in with a chance. Andylt overturned a 34 point deficit in 2k10 en route to winning and people have closed down huge ground before.



And that makes more sense Creative, will edit my post so nobody gets confused. I knew there was an average somewhere and then realised that 76 odd would have been way higher than 44 so was trying to think what it might be!
