Explanation of Extrapolated Standings:
http://sc2k5.com/drupal/node/11

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

Up the percentage about 10% and that's a better question.

Unless Ocelot = or just slightly<Liquid snake I don't see ocelot>bowser happening. I'm expecting Bowser to get around 60% or so. I don't think that Ocelot is weak enough to lose out by 70%, but that's just me.

Barring Liquid or Ganon imploding or Bowser/Ocelot absorbing the powers from the shattered remains of Sigma/Wily, I think this is Pyramid Head's award to win.
---
Sure, Sephiroth's going to win the Spring Contest. But how will he fare in a real duel? Find out at www.rpgdl.com!

If Revolver gets 40% on Bowser, he is just a lil' stronger than Luigi...which isn't that bad of a guesstimate for him, at least for me. However, that puts Wily and Nemesis above Bomberman; I don't know how much I buy that.

If Revolver gets 30% on Bowser, he's a lil' below Crash...I doubt he's THAT low. This puts Nemesis and Wily between Conker and Sam Fisher though; while I can buy that for Nemesis, I can't so much for Wily.

Yes, I know my opinion of each of the characters goes against the numbers of one-another. I'm giving Revolver 36% against Bowser.

Well, duh. The reason that seems so farfetched now is because that would make Nemesis and Wily stronger than Yoshi.

Heil Dweebenheimer!!! For I am MasterMage119!!!

I realize that; however, even after looking at the numbers seeing how close they actually are against a common opponent, it still doesn't feel right putting Wily that low. I'm giving Nemesis and Revolver more credit than that thanks to how I don't think Revolver and Wily should be that low.

Jenova Division: Round 2 - Match 20 – (3)Lavos vs. (2)Liquid Snake

Moltar’s Analysis

Lavos - The closest thing to Magus you’re going to get.
Round 1 – vs. Mother Brain (Lavos: 55.79% - Mother Brain: 44.21%)

Lavos barely makes it past Mother Russ…I mean Mother Brain.

Liquid Snake - Unable to change into a Solid state.
Round 1 – vs. Tenpenny (Liquid: 79.46% - Tenpenny: 20.54%)

Liquid had no problems with Tenpenny. Like he was going to anyway…

Yeah, the Jenova Division is quite the snore, but we still need to go through it. Lavos could barely take on Mother Brain, and Liquid is much, much stronger than MB was. Liquid should have no problems here.

Moltar’s Bracket Says: Liquid will win

Moltar’s Prediction is: Lavos 34% - Liquid 66%



Ulti’s Analysis

You have the winner of a match featuring two characters that no one cares about against a character that got within 100 votes of Frog.

I ask again, why even bother.

Prediction: Liquid Snake with 68.34%



Soul’s Analysis

You got to feel a bit sad to see Liquid Snake in this division. Snake/Bowser had potential to be a great bracket buster. But no, CjayC did not realize this early enough, and Snake was stuck in Sephy's division. Lavos should not be much of a problem for Snake. Expect Liquid to win with 67.40%.



Outback’s Analysis

This. Divison. Sucks.

After Liquid's absolute pasting of Tenpenny and Lavos's unimpressive performance against Mother Brain, the outcome of this match is pretty obvious, as it was before the contest. The only real productive thing I can see coming out of this match is placing Lavos and Mother Brain on the X-Stats, and perhaps getting a ballpark estimate for Ridley through MB. Anyway, Liquid dominates.

Liquid Snake 68.90 Lavos 31.10



Inviso’s Analysis

Well…Lavos had his first match, a match that took CJayC off the top 50 leader board. That match was a match of complete fodder, much like Vergil vs. Ghaleon. Liquid Snake however, nearly quadrupled a character from Gamefaqs’ Game of the Year, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Honestly, Liquid has a chance to perform on par with Sephiroth in this match, even though Lavos got a WAY better picture.

Liquid is gonna make himself some turtle soup, and it’ll actually taste good, unlike the crap Sephy’ll be making in the final 4.

My Prediction: Liquid Snake with 59.72%

"MyWorldIsSNES" Score: 20, Rank: 33 (T1), Pick: Sephiroth
My Video Game World Records: http://www.twingalaxies.com/index.aspx?c=22&p=35289

From: Mumei | Posted: 5/21/2005 1:52:31 PM | Message Detail
I suppose it is possible, but I think it is simply more likely that people are voting by which one they like more. But let's say that it is happening: Do you think that the percentage could really be anything more than, say, 1 - 2%?

Well, look at how Bowser is wrecking shop. Granted he hasn't really faced any stiff competition yet, but is there any other way to explain the way he is thrashing his opponents? I mean, he tripled Sigma (or came close, I don't recall the end-of-the-poll). Am I saying Boswer is going to beat Sephiroth? No, because enough people are voting on popularity as opposed to villainy. But I can honestly say that I believe that Bowser is getting more than 1-2% based on his villain status, and his matches seem to coincide with that. All the Xstats I'm seeing putting Sigma near the bottom of the Character Battle list just don't look right

“TheRye is like Jesus, if Jesus ever played video games.” -Inviso

Unless you call me Chichi, then I may turn on a dime and kill you.

And you have to think, this is an RPG centric site, Ghaleon is like a god to many of this sites visitors. On the other hand, Sigma is not. Frankly you'd have to complete a Mega Man X game to know him, and I'd bet a lot of the people who would support Zero haven't done that (I support Zero and I've never had the time to beat more than a handful of any Maverics in any given game, having never owned one myself) and for those who did many of them would be inclined to dislike him. Wily isn't much better off, but he still is due to numerous circumstances (and probably not too much better off, anyway). I don't know how many times I have to say this, as I've been saying it since before Sigma got his lights knocked out, but he sucks. Plain and simple.

XD

And I support Zero - just because of the way he looks and the fact that he is in the Mega Man universe - but I've never even touched an MMX game. I wasn't even sure that Sigma would beat Andross and just went off of what other people said. >_>

Vexilla regis prodeunt Inferni. ~ Dante Alighieri

And why is it so many people have to think that this being a villains contest has any effect? Bowser stomped some character who were stains, big deal. He beat Guybrush about as badly as he beat Pyramid Head, I should expect no less. In fact I'm dissapointed in Bowser for that match because I expected more. They aren't getting special treatment because this is a villains contest and if anything Ganon will be lower than the XSt have him, not higher, because they're wrong.

I think we are going to have to wait until Bowser vs Sephiroth to know. We still have no idea how strong Ocelot is and Gannon is just going to destroy Ansem who might just be the victim of CATS fans finnaly seeing an opening (and being completely weak). Plus he will destroy Master Hand (who I say is the favorite at this point) due to SFF.
---
Vote for Robotnik, he isnt a woman or a giant slug or a .... hand.

Yeah, I called Sigma/Andross as a close one to begin with. People seemed to think I was crazy and I marked Sigma in on my bracket without much more thought. If you're that close to Andross, though, it means you're supposed to be a tiny little speck at the bottom of the XSt.

I somehow doubt that fans of Sephiroth are going to suddenly think that Bowser is better as a villain. I think that Sephiroth fans are far too loyal to do something like that. I'd be surprised if Bowser or Ganondorf did anything outside the margin of error...

They'll barely avoid a trippling. ~35% is what I see both of them getting.
---

Wrong.

It's about the same thing people were talking about when they took Sephiroth over Cloud last summer. It's a nifty little upset pick to take, but I wouldn't bet on it.
---
Hi,I'm partystar. ^_^
Or maybe I'm Leonhart. That's for you to decide.

Hey, that could have panned out for me. Sure, Crono over Link was craziness, as well... but sometimes you gotta do something different. Well... if you make a second bracket at least.
---
But my silent fears have gripped me, long before I reach the phone, long before my tongue has tripped me. Must I always be alone?

That's what I'm saying. It seems reasonable and it'd pay off big if it hits. I just don't think it'd be likely.
---

Talked to RPGuy earlier:

(12:11:31) mumei2: What is Ganny projected to get on Sephy?
(12:11:33) mumei2: 35 - 37%?
(12:11:36) mumei2: And what about Bowser?
(12:11:53) RPGuy96: 37.29 for Gdorf;
(12:12:04) RPGuy96: 33.26 for Bowser.
(12:12:17) mumei2: Poor bastards.
(12:12:22) RPGuy96: Indeed.

And I doubt that either one of them will do more than, say, .50% better, which would just be margin of error.
---
Vexilla regis prodeunt Inferni. ~ Dante Alighieri

Yeah, but I'm calling Ganon as being overrated in the XSts, and assuming that Bowser could avoid trippling is fair. Besides, I was trying to keep it a round number.
---
But my silent fears have gripped me, long before I reach the phone, long before my tongue has tripped me. Must I always be alone?

At the 11:10 mark, this match has 42834 votes. To compare to other matches at the same time:

Sephiroth/Ramirez - 42762
Vergil/Ghaleon - 33518
Liquid Snake/Tenpenny - 31736
Ganondorf/Giygas - 40994

By about 2%?


---
Vexilla regis prodeunt Inferni. ~ Dante Alighieri

Hey, I'm not saying it's huge, but I'm saying by at least that much (It's actually about 3% short of his supposed score against 2k4 Link).... and as much as 5% off (going by Alucard) which would leave him at 32.35% on Sephiroth.
---
But my silent fears have gripped me, long before I reach the phone, long before my tongue has tripped me. Must I always be alone?

I would consider Alucard to be underrated by the 2003 stats instead of calling that a Ganondorf performance.
