*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

Summer 2005 Contest - 6/7 points

I'm kinda surprised that you didn't go for the classic Auron quote though.

My personal favorite of his is, "This...is your world now."

Squall Leonhart's Road to the Summer Contest 2005 Championship
Round 1: (7) Geno

I'm kinda surprised that you didn't go for the classic Auron quote though.

Auron can get his next round, before he went down to Ganon.

But Yuna is going down tonight, so she should get her last words in.

Ganon > Yuna
Ganon > Auron

Ganon > Mario
.......
Kratos > Ganon ????? WTF was i thinking !!!???
Kratos > Crono ...... "silent weeping" damn....

I only picked that one because Yuna is in today's match, and Auron is in tomorrow's.

Anyway, ATTENTION STATS TOPIC. transcience recently came up with a very good idea:

maybe we should make a page defining all the acronyms that get used. I can imagine someone walking in, reading about 20XXDF and TJF and going '.....what?'

I think it's brilliant, and I'll create a page on my site for that purpose. Let's try to come up with all the acronyms we can (they'll be explained in full on the site, though here, just say what they stand for).

SFF: Same Fanbase Factor
rSFF: Reverse Same Fanbase Factor
TJF: The Jug Factor
WDF: West Division Factor
20XXDF: 20XX Division Factor
Xsts: Extrapolated Standings

Am I missing anything?

Squall Leonhart's Road to the Summer Contest 2005 Championship
Round 1: (7) Geno

Zelda>Vivi
Vyse>Tifa - I'm the only person who chose this because I was biased at the time, for I had just beaten Skies of Arcadia...Ruins my perfect bracket, but its nice to support Skies of Arcadia since FF7 is so over rated.

VFL (I think it was, correct me if I'm wrong): Vyse Fodder Line.

Was there one for recency/generations having an effect? I know there was alot of discussion if the 8-bit games could hold up to the 128-games the same way as the stats would project, for example.

That's the idea that the Square characters who increased in 2003 did so because of appearing in Kingdom Hearts, exposing them to a new auidence.

Almost.


I'm surprised that today's match hasn't had people suddenly yelling that SQUARE might be the one benefitting from higher vote totals (like they did last time), what with Yuna doin' better than expected by many against not only a Nintendo character, but Ganon...the same Ganon who got about 42% against Sephiroth.

That's due to her game, not necessarily having higher vote totals.

I picked the bolded.

(4) Vivi
(5) Zelda

(1) Dante
(8) Terra

btw I also chose CATS over Master Chief but I feel pretty confident in that one.

Yes MC is always getting his butt stomped. I've noticed that Microsoft and the X-Box isn't that popular here. CATS is an internet legend and I think will get more votes than X-Box and Halo fans can muster.

...This guy's actually serious.
