*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

No. If she gets out of the first round, it will be a long, grueling struggle with Vivi. Solid Snake did get a boost from MGS3 and possibly MGA.

I'll mark them all right, but only to bring them back up when that is proven false!

Snake losing in Round 2, especially to Vivi, would be nothing short of incredible. It would make this the best contest ever.

You can't see him losing in Round 2 because he's not facing Knuckles.

Serious Reminder: Vote for Knuckles
Serious Reminder: Vote for Tifa Lockheart, too

What's with the ridiculous overestimations of Terra lately?

Comparing her to Cloud, Squall, or Tidus is dumb, because she's not nearly as central to the game as they are. Sure, I guess you could call her the "main character" if you wanted, but FFVI is obviously intended to have an ensemble cast rather than focusing on one particular individual.

I'm calling it now: she'll be 2% or less from Kefka, be it above or below.

"Thank you, Mario. But our princess is in another castle."
-Toad in Super Mario Bros.

No...you're seriously kidding me. Zelda is far from the popularity of Snake. Cloud is to Sephy is to Aeris as Link is to Ganon is to Zelda. Zelda is levels below Snake. TP won't come until late this year. Without TP, I'd say Snake has his division wrapped up.

What about Alucard vs. Sora? Everyone thinks Sora will win, but it just isn't adding up.

Supporter of Magus, Mario, Mega Man, and Kerrigan for sc2k5

Solid Snake did get a boost from MGS3 and possibly MGA.

Any boost is minimal. All the boost will do is maybe keep him in the noble nine. MGS3 gave Big Boss and Ocelot bigger boosts.

2% above Kefka's Spring 2005 value is still enough to beat Dante.

SC2K5 Elite Eight: Mario, Frog, Snake, Tidus, Crono, Knuckles, Sonic, Ocelot

If anyone takes out Snake it's going to be Zelda, not Ryu/Bowser/Tidus.

>_>
<_<

*wait's for someone to say VIVI'D*

I still have Snake > Zelda, and obviously over the rest of them, if it weren't for MGS3, which will give Snake a VERY noticable boost, I don't care if it's Big Boss, he's identical to Snake in every way, and throughout the game they mostly call him Snake, The Boss calling him Jack, and almost no reference to the term "Naked."

SC2K5 Elite Eight: Mario, Frog, Snake, Tidus, Crono, Knuckles, Sonic, Ocelot

And who is going to vote for Tidus's face. His face will sway voters away from him.

I would vote for Tidus's face, especially over Snake's horrible mug.

---
“Yeah, sure. I always see it. But… who cares? I speak with passion, from the heart! That’s what matters most.”

Uh, isn't 2% over Kefka's Spring Value just barely over Vercetti?

Dante would get 30% on a 2004 Seph, so Terra would have to be a little bit stronger than that. But I believe in teh Dante Boost anyway.

The Black Mage is taking out the Hylian Princess. 2003 Zelda > 2005 Zelda.

Oh, and we ended on the worst possible note in that last topic.

Big Boss beating Auron would make this the greatest contest ever.

You mean the worst contest ever. Auron is superior to any and all things MGS.

Oh, and it's funny how HM switched Snake to Tidus just after I said if anyone from the Dream division was taking out Snake, it'd be Tidus. Still cracks me up.

But I still believe you're incredibly mistaken. Bowser can beat Snake and Ryu can beat Snake. There's no reason to just ignore the results from the Spring Contest and say that Bowser got nothing; that's just as foolish as saying Bowser increased above Mario.
