While Scorpion might have just dropped, this lackluster performance is
sort of giving me hope that Midna will disappoint against Axel. I'm pretty sure she'll win, but I like a good faint glimmer of hope here and there. --- http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g320/HowDisturbing/stayawhile.jpg Stay a while and breathe me in. |

"Well now, Mr. Daddy would you like to join the party?" "Oh, well, I don't know. I was with Mr. Bunansa." "Well, we will invite him as well. The more the merrier."

Scorpion cleaned house that update; Freeman's % went up and his lead still went down. I'm going to bed. Hopefully the match becomes saner before I next check. --- http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g320/HowDisturbing/stayawhile.jpg Stay a while and breathe me in. |

I'm also loving these "conversations" between the characters. Do carry on. =) As for the match...yeesh. Gordon's looking great to win, though Balthier makes me think it's more of Scorpion looking bad than anything. Still, this is not to be ignored next round for either of them. Falco/Scorp/Gordon should be a lot of fun to watch. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

Crazy match going on. I still expect Scorpion to win, but Gordon actually winning isn't out of the question. On GlaDOS' performance last match, it was fairly good. And I heard lots of joke references to WCC last contest, whereas I'd never heard of GlaDOS (first time was with pic discussion actually, as I never noticed her in the bracket). So WCC should be significantly than GlaDOS. Which makes Weighted Companion Cube for 1st in that match seem probable at this point to me. IMO, WCC is the favorite there now. I mean, seriously. Tidus and Donkey Kong? That just seems DESTINED to see who can outchoke the other while trying to desperately cling on to 2nd place...while facing an inanimate character. Really, the more you think about it, the more that scenario lines up with contest history. And as we know, history repeats itself... --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

| WCC is a complete wildcard but I wouldn't say it's
a favourite for first. probably a favourite for second though.. maybe.
there's still 100% of the vote that needs to go around. --- xyzzy "Man...tranny gets bored, the rest of us suffer." -satai |

Either way, most people's Oracle predictions are shot. Big Daddy should hopefully fall in percentage during the day and my prediction on Big Daddy might just look good. Hopefully Gordon and Balthier fall enough to be close to my prediction. Scorpion probably won't even break 35%, but I hope he could at least come within 2% of my prediction. --- Luster Soldier - Popular at school. ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ |

IIRC, I got Scorpy at 31 and Gordon at 30%, so I will be pretty close.

-LusterSoldier- (#285) I feel the exact same way. Luckily, my Scorpion is lower and my Big Daddy is higher. My Balthier might be just a bit low, however.
