I never said I didn't like Crono. I just didn't realize that many people in here were actually rooting for him, especially against Sonic.

Everybody with a score of 13 or less got the match wrong.
Overall prediction percentage: 48.34%

The mid-tiers felt this match was fairly obvious with predicetion percentages as high as 70 but the top-tiers didn't do as well. One of the remaining two -1s have fallen, and less than a third of the -2s, -4s and -5s get the match correct. It's not until the -10s does a group do better than 50.

32 people fell off the Top 50 today. Invisa, FireLaserBeam, MetalGoomba, Warlord_Blaze, ChronoT7, ps2rulezzz, PSI_NESS, SpikenDru, Denji2000, hellfire104, Biggoron5, keithed007, cavalier_lowen, bloody_geyser, pikachuss, UltimaBladeX, Etherie, RageKage14, sexyman189, ultimaruneblade, EARTHBOUND_KID, ninkendo, Lordjers, Restedory, Peddy_Aul, flyingpppenguin, KACAblaze, ProfessorBen, Giggsalot, Fuzzles, ZeroTyMe and former first place smasherx bet against Solid Snake and lost. Maybe this year is Solid Snake's year...

Sonic is falling too fast to make a comeback in the morning at this rate. If Crono's lead passes 2000, I'd say this match is over. Hell, I don't think Sonic has much of a shot now anyway...

I'm.. well...

I'll stick with Crono until I see a reason to think otherwise. with Zero looking to have dropped a good amount and Mega Man sucking all contest, it could be more MM than Snake.

anyway, here's some ultra-early presumptive x-stats - Crono with 52%:

Crono - 50.00
Sonic - 48.00
Vincent - 45.99
Auron - 45.50
Ganondorf - 43.61
Bowser - 42.56
Luigi - 38.22
Leon Kennedy - 37.92
Sub-Zero - 36.74
Master Chief - 36.03
Zero - 35.39
Alucard - 32.40
Prince of Persia - 27.97
Captain Falcon - 25.84
CATS - 18.48

Sub-Zero > Zero has to be driving certain board 8ers nuts.

Well let's see the pessimist's view of the rest of the contest is Samus crushing Zelda, Snake never leading on Crono, and then Samus beating Crono relatively easily. So I hope at least one of those things doesn't happen.
