*Extrapolated Standings*

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

“But though we strike at you from the shadows, do not think that we lack the courage to stand in the light.”
- Zeratul
From: Phediuk | Posted: 5/25/2005 6:36:29 AM | Message Detail
I have three ideas for future Spring contests:

-A supporting character contest. So, no main characters or main villains allowed in. Magus would probably be the favorite, but if the rest of the FFVII cast got in...I think he;d have some competition.

-A female character contest. Nearly all of our contestants would be new, but choosing Samus to win would be almost as obvious as choosing Sephiroth for this contest.

-A character "genre" contest. Examples:

-Platformer characters (Mario or MM would win)

-RPG characters (Cloud, unless you're a moron and consider the Zelda games to be RPGs)

-Fighting game characters (Ryu, most likely)

-Adventure game characters (adventure games are an extremely broad genre, and are often difficult to differentiate from RPGs, so this contest would never happen. Link'd win anyway.)

Of course, we could also go with more obscure genres.

-Shooter characters (...Master Chief?)

-Strategy game characters (...I dunno, Ramza? Kerrigan? Someone from Fire Emblem?...well, okay, maybe not.)

-...Err...party game characters? Yeah, I can't wait to see Parappa the Rapper taking the champion's belt home. ~_~

-Puzzle games, racing games, and sports games tend to not have any characters, so that's about everything.

From: Slowflake | Posted: 5/25/2005 6:51:23 AM | Message Detail
I'd rather have no contests in spring, and alternate between games and characters in the summer every other year. Apparently it's been taken into consideration by CJayC himself.

Maybe those "gimmicky" contests could be done on the side of the character or game contests, without any prizes.

I'd like to see only character and game contests be regular, though we should have little gimmick contests like this every now and then (as in not annually).

Well the thing is, I think the stats will slowly come back to normal. I fully expect Sephiroth to beat LS by much more than the stats tell us and Kefka to give Diablo a run for his money.

To be fair, we still don't have a clue where Diablo's four-pack is at. We don't know if Bison/Ridley are stronger, weaker, or equal to Ken (2k2 or 2k3)/MB, and we don't know how far off Albedo is from KOS-MOS. As far as we know, Kefka could win 60-40...

...I'm taking Diablo though.

I for one would be taking Frog over Magus in a summer contest, and have been yearning for that match ever since I came to GameFAQs and found out it was actually accepted knowledge that Magus>Frog.

What I might have said in the past does not change the fact that I say he's a good character now. Obviously, I'm not saying that he's the best character ever or the deepest character or anything like that. I am simply saying that he's a good character.

The only time you'll ever hear me praise Kefka is because he has some humorous quotes. That's about the only thing that's even remotely decent about him.
