*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

Yeah, that's pretty easy to do. Good to see you've started though. =)

They definitely are bad. Luckily, they'll grow on you as the game goes on. After you spend some time playing the game, they won't be nearly as bad as they are now. But I definitely know what you're saying. I was rather frustrated with them to start too.

You don't have to cycle through your items. Pressing 1 - 0 will quickly pull out whatever it is you have.

Summer 2005 Contest - 14/16 points
Current Match Prediction: Master Chief vs. CATS

The point is that there is no menu. I thought that EarthBound would be the worst I'd ever see for item storage, but I was definitely wrong.

From: Tatsumaki Senpuu | Posted: 8/3/2005 9:32:00 PM | Message Detail
Why does there need to be a menu for that? There's no problem at all with the way that is setup. You don't have to cycle through everything by pressing "I." It is very easily solved by just pressing 1 - 0. It isn't as though certain items are randomly thrust into those numbers either.

1 is always your Scythe, you shouldn't press that one unless you need it. The other numbers will have the items you picked up in the order you picked them up. I really have no idea what the complaint is here. I could understand if you thought you had to zoom in and have Manny reach inside his sophisticated frame everytime, but you don't...

Round one is halfway over! I'm going to throw a random stat out, its just for fun.

AVERAGE SCORE: 12.3058 / 16



With only a few "tossups" that figure is a little low - we'll blame it on favorites and 0-brackets.

And another 0 goes down! The prediction percentage was a bit low overall, but Rikku turned out to be quite a bit stronger than the other characters that lost in this division.

7 people fell off the Top 50 today. pikpikcarrotmon, billabong7329, Douglas_R007, Cod_Y, pkdragon, Dazed_Samurai and BrandonBa2 had Rikku beating Ryu.

Go ksakura! The person managed to make it to CATS's match and still be perfect!

Damn...this is embarassing, but the reason I thought the Master Chief pic was so bad was because I was totally looking at it the wrong way. I thought he was looking down rather than up, and that the two things sticking out from his helmet were *goggles*. Whoops!

So this pic is actually fine. *slaps forehead*
