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

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

Gear Division Round 1 - Match 9 – (1)Solid Snake vs. (8)Manny Calavera

Snake
Game/Series Known From: Metal Gear Solid
Extrapolated Rank in 2002: 9th (35.23%)
Extrapolated Rank in 2003: 8th (35.90%)
Extrapolated Rank in 2004: 11th (27.74%) Adjusted Value: 12th (30.82%)
Seed in 2002: 2
Seed in 2003: 1
Seed in 2004: 2
Lost in 2002 to Crono in the Elite 8
Lost in 2003 to Mega Man in the Elite 8
Lost in 2004 to Mega Man in the Elite 8

Hmm, I don’t believe his 2004 value much, but hey, Snake is back again with a 1 seed.

Manny
Game/Series Known From: Grim Fandango
Extrapolated Rank in 2002: N/A
Extrapolated Rank in 2003: N/A
Extrapolated Rank in 2004: N/A
Seed in 2002: N/A
Seed in 2003: N/A
Seed in 2004: N/A

See people, you can get in your favorite obscure character too with just a little help from Board 8

Ceej said that sometimes seeds get based on organized efforts. Well, Shake organized Board 8 to nominate Manny, and Board 8 did. Ceej must have noticed the surprising Manny support and put him in out of the kindness of his own heart. Does this mean Manny stands a chance of winning this match? Hell no, but the sight of Manny making it in this Contest was enough for some people. Congrats Manny, you made the people happy.

Moltar’s Bracket Says: Snake will win.

Moltar’s Prediction is: Snake: 87% - Manny: 13%


Ulti’s Analysis

Getting Manny into one of these contests is arguably one of Board 8's best accomplishments, but unfortunately, he's one of the "Happy to be here" entrants. I doubt he'll be as weak as Tanner, but I call it a moral victory for Manny if he manages to break 10%. Hardly anyone know who he is on GF.

Prediction: Snake with 88.97%



Soul’s Analysis

Remind me again why I don't play Grim Fandango? I have got to get that game sometime soon. Manny Calavera looks kickass! On with the analysis.

Well, this match looks to be a blowout. Manny will easily defeat Snake. I mean come on, he's MANNY CALAVERA! >_>

Fine, whatever. Expect Snake to win with a huge blowout. Not enough people have played Grim Fandango, and even less know about Manny Calavera. Snake is part of the noble nine. Basically, it's elite Vs. fodder, or Main Eventer Vs. Jobber. Sorry for the wrestling reference. Hopefully, you won't see many more of those later on. Well, knowing myself, I promise nothing!

Since this analysis is rather short, got to mention a few things: AERIS IS SNUBBED AGAIN! HAHAHA! etc. Oh, and sucks that Shadow didn't make it in this year. He could have caused some havoc if given the right seed, but now we'll never know, until next year.

My prediction: Snake wins with 87.63% of the vote. Manny higher then Tanner? He better be!



Outback’s Analysis

He's the friggin' Grim Reaper! Okay, okay. Snake is gonna win this easily, obviously, and could even hit 90% again for the second year in a row. But Manny, if it's any consolation, in The Chat's "Who would win in a fight contest," you made it to the Elite 8. Good show, Manny!

Snake with 91.20

Moltar's Comics - http://www.stripcreator.com/comics/Moltar
Auron vs. Big Boss - Bracket: Auron - Vote: Boss (6/7)

Inviso’s Analysis

First of all, I would like to go on record as to say that one, I have never played, seen, or heard of Grim Fandango, and two, before Shake started rallying for him, I doubt that many people on the board heard of him either. But Shake, unlike me, is a prominent figure on the board, and of course, his character gets in while mine, needless to say, doesn’t (James! JAMES! ;_;) Snake, for the second year in a row, has a very good chance of nailing the blowout of the first round. Manny is just way too cult, and he isn’t even from an RPG, so I think Snake may have the edge over Samus in this one. Snake may not be quite noble nine anymore, but that won’t stop him from beating the **** out of Mister Skeleton. The Nightmare Before Christmas this is not.

My Bracket: Solid Snake
My Vote: Solid Snake
My Prediction: Solid Snake with 88.43%



Tnote’s Analysis

Here I am fellas… arguably the single worst MGS player in the continental US. I am so bad that I had to watch my roommate beat the game, because I could not do it myself. I have recently started MGS3, and already know I am going to have to watch him beat it as well if I want to enjoy the storyline. Fortunately Solid performs a wee bit better in these here contests than I do controlling him. I hate wasting time analyzing blowouts. Until Shake bombarded Board 8 with Grim Fandango propaganda, I had never even heard of this guy. As it is, I still know nothing about him, but have gotten to see pictures of him… no, not those kind of pictures you sicko. Snake will give Samus and Sora a run for biggest blowout of the tourney, and it is not like a Snake thrashing is unprecedented…

Pick: Solid Snake with 90.83%



Vlado’s Analysis

The only true question here is: Will Manny get owned even worse than Tanner? My guess is no, as he has at least a cool looking picture. Anyway, has anyone thought why it was exactly the Solid Snake vs. Tanner match that brought the biggest humiliation in the contest history? Sure, Tanner sucks, but I think the true reason is that Solid Snake barely gets any anti-votes. You can like the other character better, but few actually hate Snake and would vote against him no matter who he faced. Anyway, Grim Fandango is a cult PC game that few really care about, though I've heard it's good. I doubt Manny can even break 10%, though. He'll certainly get beaten worse than Yuri, who is from a PS2 RPG series, after all, and we know well that Samus gets more anti-votes than Snake.

Predicted percentage: Solid Snake with 91.27%.

It's extremely self-evident to a point, but there is some story behind it that you would have to play the game to know. The surface of the quote isn't misleading or anything though.

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

*tag*

Here's hoping Auron can reach 72% before all is said and done.

For the record, at the 16:35 mark, this match has 75,168 votes.

Ness/CJ - 78,626
Zero/Hayabusa - 71,552
Samus/Yuri - 66,602
Riku/Frog - 71,328

This ought to break 95k with ease, at this pace.

Looks like MGS fans do care about Big Boss, at least to a point.

I'm surprised he avoided a tripling by Auron.

---
Reserved for the winner of the SC2K5 Guru Challenge.

Big Boss probably has mostly MGS3 fan votes, and the rest treated him as... "I remember the name, but uh...".

I didn't vote him, though. I don't think he deserves to be here anymore than Dark Link, in the context I would have voted for him in.

Summer 2005 Contest - 7/8 points
Current Match Prediction: Solid Snake vs. Manny Calavera

"Maybe you should check your reading comprehension skills then,"

I know what is being implied. Reading comprehension involves a skill known as "reading between the lines" and when you posses such a skill (if you should ever come to posses such a skill) then you'll understand that talks of bad pics are directly related to talks of poor performance. It's an implied condition, and frankly anyone who would even remotely imply it are idiots.

"I don't like his picture, and it's not the first time, so I decided to vent it."

He's butt-ugly, he'll never have a good pic, if it's not at all meant to imply anything to do with the contest (having an effect on it) go vent elsewhere. This is contest STATS and discussion (cause Lopen is funny) and is intended to focus on things that have an effect on the contest.

"If you have problems with it, then tough luck."

If I have a problem with it you'll becoem regretfully aware soon enough.
