Looks like I overshot today, though.

Fight like dragons, have no fear, swords are made of STEEEEEEEEL~

Wow, I can't believe I stayed at #3 with my horrible Cloud prediction.

Looks like Kratos might kill me off though!

C'mon, Kratos! Keep going up!

Awesome, .5% jump for Kratos on that update.

Moving toward 77%...!

looks like I won't have a bad score after all.

--
Connecticut Huskies

hey, if Kratos raises to 74% this'll be my first good result since... uuh Bosses / Tidus/Jecht? It's been a freefall for me since then (from 17th to 34th!)

~ Rivalry Rumble Oracle Challenge ~ Rank - 34th
Today's Prediction: Kratos / Zeus - 74.16%

I think he'll get to 74... by about 3:30 >_>

And then blow right by.

--
Connecticut Huskies

Jeez I really need to start double checking my safety picks. Cloud/Seph with 85%? Kratos with 63%? Yikes

--
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

If I get 49.99 pts on this Zeus/Kratos battle, I'm gonna be uber mad...

...because I got 49.99 pts on the Mario/Bowser battle too.

I want another perfect prediction. (other than FFX vs FFIX from last contest) >.>

I was exactly one percent off from the Zeus/Kratos battle. [glares]

Being in the UK sucks at times, didn't wake up in time and would have raised my prediction to 62% ish. Polls need to start at a friendlier time, like not 5am >_>

Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time

There used to be a page for the top Points Above Average leaderboard - which is probably the most important leaderboard. Yet I can't find it anymore, I don't think there's a link to it anywhere.

Anyone knows where that page is? I'm #2 but don't know who #1 is.

You just need to be in a friendlier country, like not the UK >_>

I've never been able to find that page. At a complete guess, it's probably going to be one of the newer people who is above you because I can't think of anyone long-term above you.

EDIT: Or maybe not. The 4-ways will have brought your average down I reckon.


I do live in a friendlier country! The only problem is that I'm only in Orlando half the year! Probably permanently by next contest though, assuming there is one.

Is Yesmar not on a team?

Why am I still in the top 5? Step up your game, people!

Yesmar is not on a team, which is a bit disappointing, honestly

Just out of curiosity - has anyone yet managed to score a Top 5 prediction Three matches in a row?

--
Yay - Black Turtle is the guru champion of awesomeness.

Good job cyko, we tied in the Kratos match and now you outdo me by 0.02% ;)

lol, very nice. If only Phoenix's division didn't destroy me.......

For the record, this is also the first time I recall nailing a Top 5 pick for Three consecutive matches. Anyone else accomplish this feat?

--

I remembered to make a change tonight at least, but then I looked at the clock. 9:01. Damn. Thankfully this looks like one of those rare times where forgetting is actually going to help me.

Edit: Or not. Twenty minutes in and it's already gone the wrong way

--
When someone is giving you his opinion, you should receive it with deep gratitude even though it is worthless.

that's right

two top 3 finishes in a row

--

Black Turtle still didn't MAJORA'S MASK

Ugh, slept through the start again so couldn't change. I really need to start making my changes before I go to sleep. What a pain as my safety is absolutely shocking.

I suppose on the brightside, at least I had a safety.

--
Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time

Almost went from 73.3 to 72.3 but fought with myself to keep my initial prediction. I'm glad I did, the % just keeps on upping here.

Connecticut Huskies

NOOOO!!! I forgot to post my prediction for Squall/Seifer.

And it wasn't bad, really.

Oh, well...

--
I think I broke the LOL

If I was actually miles out of contention, I think I'd probably pull the trigger on the Ramza upset here. It's what my bracket says but just can't bring myself to go for it whilst there's a chance of a decent finish when a wrong prediction would is worth like 15 places atm.

Pretty much the same thing here, and it looks like its the right thing to do. Although one more loss on the bracket. :(

My bracket is practically doomed, except for the battle challenge, but I don't want my Oracle predictions to be doomed too!

--
I think I broke the LOL

I've only missed one match in my bracket and it's doomed as well. I'm probably dead in Oracle too, just going to try and get as close to the top as I can now.

Battle bracket is still perfect, though.

--

I was doomed from before it started, but doesn't mean I don't participate anyway. Can still miss the top 5 by 1 spot like I did for the third time this contest. THAT is getting annoying (although I have still managed 2 top 5's which is some consolation).

~ Ringworm ~

Aw yeah, #2 pick in the Team Challenge

Also, only 20 people predicted the quadrupling for Dante? Kinda surprising.

--
"I can set you free, mate."
"My freedom was forfeit long ago!"

The worst part about this poll is that if you take out the obv rallying hours, my prediction would be dead on >_>

If one forgotten prediction wasn't enough, my Sora/Riku prediction will officially transport me to the bottom. Sorry pjbasis!

But I'll continue on...

--
I think I broke the LOL

Oh nice, top 10 individual pick.

And then a #3 Team Challenge prediction! Team Leonhart is Dead is starting to hit its stride going into round 2!

--

Haha yeah it's whatever.

I was in like Top 10 until these last two divisions and now I'm like 50th.

Also, I don't see my predictions up. I definitely posted in the topic though, just wondering if it's a gltich for me or it just hasn't been entered yet or something.

I don't see any predictions for round 2 matches either.

There ain't no gettin' offa this "Cloud/Sephiroth > Link/Ganondorf" hype-train we're on!
Confidence level 15%

Hopefully creativename has changed the crontab back to run the scripts only every 24 hours, otherwise we are gonna see some funky results in the middle of the day!

Today's Prediction: Mario / Bowser - 79.61%

Points Above Average? Is that comparing your score to the average, match-by-match, and then averaging them? Hey, despite how awful I've done the past 2 contests, I'm still 15th in that.

RR: 34/36; 59500 BP; Spread Bets for RR: $1000 (-$500 debt) after round 34; Oracle for RR: 1468.87 pts (41st) after round 33

so i just checked my prediction page and my sonic/robotnik prediction isn't listed

apparently, i SOMEHOW forgot to put the percent on it

can that still be counted because i put it there before the match started?

or am i screwed?

Fixed it for you.
