I'm aware that this is up insanely earlier than normal, but there's a good reason for it. I'm finally done my stat archive, and I don't feel like posting a ton of Top 10/25 lists in a topic that already has 300 posts in it. Besides, the contest starts tomorrow night. Might as well prepare early.

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

Hi,I'm partystar. ^_^
Or maybe I'm Leonhart. That's for you to decide.

And finally, I've got an updated version of the stat archive. I'll start with the Top 25 lists, then do Top 10 lists for each contest. I'm aware you've all seen the Top 10 lists already, but humor me and take a trip down memory lane before the next contest starts, mmkay? <3

Heh, three matches in a row involving FFX within 50 votes of each other. Nice.

Just to warn you, this will look like crap if you're using the standard layout. I also didn't proofread for gramatical or factual mistakes, so if you see anything let me know.

9) Summer 2003 - North Round 2 - (6) Squall [69958] vs (3) Luigi [46232] - 116190

This one's interesting to see in the top ten largest vote-totals list; this is the highest-ranked match on that list that didn't feature two of the "Noble Nine"...and this match doesn't even have one.

Serious Reminder: Vote for Dr. Wily in 2k5
Meanwhile, sit back and enjoy the contest-hype.

Well, they feature two of the five greatest characters of all-time, that's why.

Either that, or Squall has a knack for getting voters in Square-Nintendo matchups. Squall-Kirby was one of the most popular from SC2K4.

Then again, that also features two of the five greatest characters of all-time. CJayC has a tendency to match a lot of my favorite characters with each other, for some reason.

Solid Snake vs. Squall, Solid Snake vs. Knuckles (3 times, mind you), Squall vs. Luigi, Squall vs. Kirby, Cloud vs. Vyse, Cloud vs. Squall, Ramza vs. Kirby.

That's why I'm feelin' awfully good about a Squall-Tidus matchup this summer.

TRE, that's not really a glitch. It's just one of the numbers rounding up.

You are referring to CT/LTTP, right? metroid composite explained in-depth what was going on there.

I wasn't refering to any particular match. Some times the poll does glitch and doesn't update the total votes as fast as the individual vote counters for each character. When the polls were set to 15 minute updates, it was pretty obvious when it happened:

What you are refering to is when both characters are on the borderline for rouding and both round up. It's very likely, but the poll can end with a non-100% total if it ends in this situation.

18) Summer 2002 - North Round 2 - (12) Aya Brea [30478] vs (4) Donkey Kong [31798] - 1320

That match took my breath away. I was highly motivated by that match.
