Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 163
From: UltimaterializerX | Posted: 7/22/2005 12:31:54 AM | Message Detail
The character Yggdrasill's name is taken from Norse Mythology. According to the Norse, the Yggdrasill was the giant ash tree which connected the three worlds, Asgard (land of the gods), Midgard (land of the mortals), and Niflheim (the underworld). In the game, the giant Kharlan tree has a similar function, being a "link that connects the world." Furthermore, an identical tree appears in the series's first game, Tales of Phantasia, under the name "Yggdrasill."

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

As much as Mithos is a douche, Yggdrasill is actually a pretty cool villain. He's not really all that evil and his goals are pretty lame, but he has a cool attitude. And the wings help. ^_^

Kratos is going to get OWNED by Diablo. Diablo >>> Wesker (common opponent Kefka..), and Lloyd isn't doing so hot. Wouldn't count on Kratos being much different than Lloyd here. What a blowout that will be for a 4/5 match!

My biggest predictions: Mario over Samus, Alucard over Sora, Magus over Dante.
From: ps2rulezzz | Posted: 7/22/2005 5:08:35 AM | Message Detail
This makes Sora only look stronger, I think he has the biggest chance to win the match with Alucard now. Wonder how well Sora would do against Zero too, after Zero's pretty weak performance yesterday.

From: ps2rulezzz | Posted: 7/22/2005 5:16:44 AM | Message Detail
If Zero only manages to get 63% against Sora, and Sora gets 61.68% against Ryu with the upcoming KH2 release too. And Zero got 44% against Megaman who is considered to be in the best 5 of the tournament this year. Sora could get about 42 % against megaman, and if KH2 is released Maybe Sora would be equal to Zero.

Also with today making Ryu H. look stronger then Lloyd
another rpg personage, Sora may be able to get a very high percentage against Lloyd. And to think last year a lot of people thought Ryu H. would be able to beat Sora. Now this proves Ryu H. isn't that weak, but Sora is just that strong.

I was wondering where this topic was.

This is hilarious, though it'd be more hilarious if Wesker made a comeback and won. Oh ****, it wouldn't be as chaotic as Ness/CJ but it'd sure as hell be as hilarious.

This contest is the best when it comes to comedic value, and we're only on the fourth ****ing match.

I am not going to deny that pics don't matter but it can't be all that significant.. I mean, there's ALWAYS the character's name being there..

But anyways... Diablo > Kratos looks quite safe now..

Well, it's pretty safe to say that Lloyd ain't impressin' in the least bit today; he had better get a nice hefty day-vote in his favor if he's gonna be swinging anybody's opinions here.
