http://sc2k4.com/extrapolated.php

Simple Explanation of Extrapolated Standings:
A = Strongest Character
B = Character Weaker than A
C = Character Weaker than B
To figure out a character's Xsts Percentage ---> [(CvB)(BvA)]/50 = CvA
To compare how C would do against B ---> [(CvA)/(BvA)]*50 = CvB
To figure out how B would do against A ---> [(CvA)/(CvB)]*50 = BvA

That's when I'll be in my last class. Of course, then I've got a 50 minute drive home, so I won't get back 'til 2.

"Impossible is a word people use to make themselves feel better when they give up." - Vyse the Legend

Yeah, I should be back in my dorm room by noon, and hopefully I will then proceed to fill out my undoubtedly perfect bracket.
---
"My name is Guybrush Threepwood. Prepare to die!"

Bah, my last class is over at 1:30 Pm MST. Add in the 30 minute drive home... and I'll also be home at 2. But in a different time zone =(

I really do hope it is up tomorrow, so I don't have to go through all day on my insanely long Tuesday thinking about what the bracket might be.

I'm gonna get a first vote one of these days...

The closest I think I ever got was the 5th vote, which was the Magus/Sam Fisher match...heh, I still remember the screw-up in it where there were two Sam Fisher's on the results page.

From: Sir Chris | Posted: 4/11/2005 3:45:50 AM | Message Detail
I think the last bracket was up like 8 PM the day after nominations ended, so I would assume it'll be up sometime today or very early the next day

My earliest vote was 3rd in Chrono Trigger vs. Super Mario World (Chrono Trigger had 100% of the vote at that time). It would be nice to have a first vote... but I'm not sure if that's possible unless TRE is on vacation.

Based on my records, Id of Ith was the one to get the first vote in that match. I don't think I got the second vote in that match either. That means you've beaten me at least once before.

Oh, and some major CATS supporting too. For great justice, of course.

Serious Reminder: Nominate Dr. Wily in 2k5
http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/contest/contest_nominate.php

It'll be interesting to see what seed CATS will be..

---
~ExquisiteSamurai~

I'm predicting that, assuming he gets in (which is just short of standard), he'll get a 15-seed...just to please us with giving him a seed higher.
---
Serious Reminder: Nominate Dr. Wily in 2k5
http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/contest/contest_nominate.php

Idk.. I have a feeling he'll get higher than a 15 seed.. Since this is just a villain contest, and there aren't that many "great villains in the first place," I say he can garner enough nominations to earn him a higher seed..

and since he was able to get in the summer contest even though it's an all character battle royale, surely he is able to make it in this one with a higher seed of course..

---
~ExquisiteSamurai~

Thanks to all who have posted wanting to see my commentaries! Believe me, you all will :) Starting with my next post defending one of my noms...

A special nod to Chichiri, smitelf, and Harrich for their kind words at the end of Thread #105, and to Mac Arrowny, the guy that praised me for nominating Atma from my beloved favorite game, that being FFVI of course... :)

Thread #105...hehe counds like a cheesy dance tune, or a rejected spool of yarn at Woolworth's!

It would be so hilarious to see CATS get his well-deserved one seed. He has the nominations for it.

Hm.. I must have missed Steve in part 105 ..

But yes Steve, I would love to hear your comments again.. <3 Steve

---
~ExquisiteSamurai~

Another year...another contest...another chance to enlighten the masses with another finely tuned, precision honed edition of...

Steve Illumina Speaks

Yo ho ho! The words that enflame the newbies, cause laughter in the pudge rolls of the socially inept, and bring delight to anyone who calls themselves a gamer...yes these are the words of yours truly, and not another EA Press Release where they spout off about which publishing house they bought this week or whose license rights they acquired exclusivity on... But that is another bashing for another time...

For today instead I must praise the FIRST of my 10 beautiful nominations. The hallowed infamous ten I would desire so greatly to see...but likely will not see most of them because of noobs and tired fads...such as the Clueless CATS supporters...peeps who are still trapped in 2002 and just cant seem to block that summer from their minds...instead desiring to repeat the joke nom again...and again...and again.

Not to mention the reinvigorated members of the Square Legions...those with 'Jenova' tattooed on their arm, who live breathe sleep and eat the world of FFVII, munching on Nibelheim Steaks (burgers) and sipping down 7th Heaven Margaritas (mountain dews) while staying at the Honey Bee Inn, otherwise known as their unkempt bedrooms! We all know 10 or so of these types of peeps...those who stacked their nomination deck with multiple votes for Sephy, with a pint of Rufus on the side.

So without further adieu...in no real order...

Nomination 1: Bubble Man
Game Origin: Mega Man 2
Villiany "Badness" Meter: About as Bad as Starbucks Coffee...aka, not very bad at all!
Potential for Bracket Glory: Nearly Nil...he wont even make the cut cause of the cult of Metal Man fanboys who will hog all the Robot Master Votes

Comments: Yep, I had to go with 1 Mega Man character that was not the diabolical doctor or the Greek letter guy. And it had to be the weakest...the easiest...the lamest of all bosses in the Mega Man series, much less NES Gaming as a whole in its heyday...

This guy was so easy to beat...my own mama beat him, one who cant even hold a controller properly! So why did I pick him. Just cause he is that damn easy! And his name...Bubble Man...says it all. He is green, he is a sissy...he shoots little happy bubbles all around...and he has silly little flippers on his feet!

Hell, even Flash Man was more of a challenge...or was he?

So Bubble Man, I salute you with a nomination...and it might be the only one you get, you ungrateful droid!

lol, CrashMan was definitely easier and lamer than BubbleMan. he was so slow and a terrible shot. and for some reason, Crashman really looked old, too. i always referred to him as GeriatricMan.
