Would be hilarious for Scorpion to reach the final 9, feels like 2002

Scorpion winning the division would be way too fitting considering how much of a throwback this thing has felt to 2002

Make it happen, Scorps

Dammit now I'm waffling. Argh to take the Oracle risk with three minutes to go...

My last Oracle risk was Ratchet and be flubbed, but this is SCORPION.

I might be go for it if it was Sub-Zero.

I think it's a little out of Scorpion's league

Earliest freeze so far?
#69 | -LusterSoldier- | Posted 8/1/2013 9:04:57 PM | message detail
Shepard's match had the earliest freeze, happening just barely after 1 minute. This freeze happened slightly later than the Shepard match, but it still happened before the 2 minute mark.

The prediction percentage for the top tiers was a bit better than I expected. They manage to hang around the high 70s and low 80s. This time we don't get the usual sharp drop in prediction percentage outside the top tiers. The prediction percentage fade fairly slowly. Overall it doesn't seem like people had trouble with the match despite the debate. The mid tiers largely got the match right as well with prediction percentage in the high 60s.

8 people fell off the Top 49. ChronoT7, CubsFan2126, Hitagi, jkmill550, KamikazePotato, lightsout06, Advokaiser and AlmightyDrizzle expected Magus to choke but he didn't.

3 people got the match wrong and survived. Former first place Blairville, Bane_Of_Despair and BlackMetalex also expected Magus to choke.

Not bad from Sora so far, especially he kinda, well, completely sucks at night matches.

Though it's still the Power Hour and Sora should be better with that than the other two are - Scorpion will probably rise overnight. Aya probably will too.

So I guess the question is, given this performance by Sora, is he still the favorite to advance to round 4 over the winner of Pikachu/Crono?

55% if Gurus picked Sora to advance to round 4.

Crono, no, Pikachu, without a Nintendo third option possibly, with, yes.

I predicted 17.33% for Aya and she is almost dead on my prediction. This performance is about what was expected in the Oracle.

Not bad, Sora. Not bad at all. If he finishes with more than 45% I'm feeling good about his chances later. If he finishes over 50% somehow, you gotta see him as a favorite to pull through the division.

Eh, I tend to be TERRIBLE at predicting the actual percentages. Which is why I've never bothered with the Oracle.

Pretty decent performance by Sora, 59-60% against Scorpion is hell of a lot better than 59.5% against KOS-MOS.
