*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

Tommy wins, but Kefka's free to burn my bracket down at the time of his choosing tomorrow night, should he feel the need to set an example.

I very much doubt he'll show.

Even if Vercetti does come back and win, people are already wondering if he'll be at fodder-level come next year. All the hatred suddenly against him though is pretty hilarious.

From: Sir Crono | Posted: 8/6/2005 12:39:18 AM | Message Detail
Man, I was expecting this kind of outrage from the board in general if Vercetti won, not from the stat topic regulars when Vercetti's choking in the early goings.

Either way, I get my share of entertainment. I really couldn't care less who wins as long as it's a good match. My bracket has Tommy, but I don't particularly like either of them.

i think a good portion of this hatred is coming from people who wanted to put Kefka in their brackets and maybe even liked Kefka more, but instead they have to cheer for this loser Vercetti and hope he can come back.

Strangely enough, DK and Kefka both experienced an increase in their percentage at about the same time despite pretty much going down from the start of the poll. From that point on, the big ape pretty much dropped like...

Well, you get the point. Let's see how Kefka does.

From: cyko | Posted: 8/6/2005 12:45:26 AM | Message Detail
i will admit that this is the one match that i cracked and let the stats regulars convince me to switch based on the numbers. i had Kefka in my bracket for quite a while. i already disliked GTA to begin with, so if Vercetti completely chokes this one out, i will be simultaneously elated and angered.

fortunately, even if i lose this one, i doubt the one point will break my bracket if my other upsets come through.

heh, not if you talked to the Ridley supporters.

you could easily say that it's blatantly obvious Kefka's going to win by his 55-45 lead. Diablo's was like 51.5-48.5.
