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

Flood Division Round 1 - Match 20 – (2)Crono vs. (7)Zidane

Crono
Game/Series Known From: Chrono Trigger
Extrapolated Rank in 2002: 7th (37.43%)
Extrapolated Rank in 2003: 6th (38.14%)
Extrapolated Rank in 2004: 6th (37.18%)
Seed in 2002: 5
Seed in 2003: 4
Seed in 2004: 3
Lost in 2002 to Mario in the Final 4
Lost in 2003 to Mario in the Elite 8
Lost in 2004 to Link in the Elite 8

Crono is strong and consistent. That’s the thing I like about him. He’s also mute, has a sword and looks like a DBZ character. I guess that’s what everyone else likes about him.

Zidane
Game/Series Known From: Final Fantasy IX
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

Not quite a Black Mage, but still a Final Fantasy IX character.

>.> <.< *DUN DUN DUN*

It’s time for another episode of….CONSPIRIACY THEATHER

Yeah, yeah, it’s me again. This contest is full of conspiracies. There’s so much in fact, it would take me a year to type out all of them. Instead, I’ll just tell you some, and soon, you’ll open your eyes to the rest. You’ll be able to see past the thin wool blanket CJay laid over your eyes. You’ll see past that wool to see the truth behind the lies. Crono vs. Zidane sounds like a Square vs. Square match to me. SFF? Oh yes. Not only does Crono get to SFF his opponent here, but if Kefka makes it out of Round 1, we’ll be seeing a re-match between Crono and Kefka, resulting in Kefka getting SFFed again. Speaking of SFF rematches, if Magus makes it out of his division, and Crono makes it out here, they’ll meet in the Elite 8. You remember how that went last time, and it’s all looking to happen again.

But do you really think that’s it? Ha, you’d be a fool to think it was. Look at what the divisional finals are looking to be. Master Chief vs. Crono. Can you say “Master Chief vs. Frog?” CJayC is obviously trying to get up some kind of MC/Chrono Trigger rivalry. What he plans to do with it? I have not discovered yet. Now, if you haven’t thought Crono’s path through the Contest was fixed enough, this final piece of news will open your eyes. Crono is expected to make it to the Finals, but who awaits him on the other side? Either Samus, or Mario. That’s right, we could be seeing Mario vs. Crono 4 in the Finals of the Contest. Congrats Ceej, you might have tried to thrown us off with no Snake/Knux match, or no FFX/Sonic matches this year, but I can still see right through you…

And that, concludes today’s episode of….CONSPIRACY THEATER

Aliens don’t exist? Who do you think is REALLY running the US? Bush and the governement? They aren’t smart enough for that. Men from Mars? Much more likely.

*DUN DUN DUN*

Another newbie vs. vet match! Will they ever end? This time, Crono takes on Zidane. Zidane would have to be much stronger than Vivi to win this match, and I don’t see that happening. The red-headed wonder wins easily.

Moltar’s Bracket Says: Crono will win.

Moltar’s Prediction is: Crono: 78% - Zidane: 22%

Kefka vs. Tommy V. - Bracket: Kefka - Vote: Kefka (17/18)
From: Master Moltar | Posted: 8/6/2005 4:51:50 PM | Message Detail
Ulti’s Analysis

In the four first round matches in the Flood Division, three of them absolutely suck. One is CATS in his standard fodder spot, one is an SFF affair, one is two old earthworms ****ing, and one is Kefka/Vercetti.

The company cap being removed was nice, but it's caused a lot of the new Square characters to be given the shaft without really being tested. Take Crono/Zidane. Zidane is a character capable of winning a match given decent seeding, but in this contest he was stuck facing Crono in the very first round.

Then again, given Kuja's total bombing in the Spring and Vivi's complete destruction at the hands of Zelda, I highly doubt Zidane will be able to get around the SFF enough for him to actually do anything noteworthy in this match. He MAY not suffer to the extreme that Kefka did due to how far away FF9 is from CT, but that's a big if statement. Kuja and Vivi really don't give me any hope that Zidane will do anything other than turn around and take it hard for 24 hours straight in this match. Kuja is expected to get just under 16% on Crono before SFF. Zidane may be lucky to break 20% in this match.

Prediction: Crono with 83.32%



Soul’s Analysis

Zidane is from Final Fantasy 9. He is the main protagonist. That's right, Vivi is the supporting character for FF9, and manages to be more popular then Zidane.

Crono is from, well, you know. He always does well. You also know that. In fact, he has a great shot to win this contest. You know that. Crono is going to destroy Zidane. Well, umm, maybe, maybe not. Although FF9 is not as popular as other FFs, Zidane could still be pretty strong in the contest.

Of course, it doesn't matter if Zidane is strong enough. Crono will win this match, no matter how strong Zidane is.

My prediction: Crono wins with 70.41% of the vote. Now on to the Devil Division!



Outback’s Analysis

gg

Crono with 74.55%



Inviso’s Analysis

What the crap? Crono has once again been denied a one seed, while Master Chief, Dante, and Kirby all got ones. That just doesn’t make sense. Crono is expected to make final 4 and perhaps final 2 and even go on to win the non-championship bracket. After finally managing to beat Mario and making the first ever beating of a character that you’ve already lost to, Crono has proven to be a big force in the contest. Zidane is his opponent…and Zidane is not Vivi. FFIX is a weak FF game, and Zidane really doesn’t have much of a chance against NON-Square characters, let alone a fellow Square character, from Chrono Trigger, that happens to be noble nine. Poor little tail boy. He loses and FFIX has absolutely no respect for the second contest in a row. After all, if your main villain loses to a hand, then Crono should be able to do so much more.

My Bracket: Crono
My Vote: Zidane Tribal
My Prediction: Crono with 78.94%



Tnote’s Analysis

I hate you CjayC. You take my favorite Final Fantasy protagonist, and you pit him against a character that will SFF to hell and back. Final Fantasy IX receives far too much hate around here, especially given how awesome the mechanics are. Sure, load times suck, but the story is fetch, Kuja is a ridiculously awesome villain, and Vivi is probably the most developed sidekick in the FF series (not including Delita). Sure, he does not hold a candle to either Magus or Frog, which in itself explains how this match will play out. Crono will be making his run to Sephiroth, and it begins here with an utter thrashing of Mr. Tribal.

Pick: Crono with 74.83%

Vlado’s Analysis

I have just started Final Fantasy IX and I really like Zidane. He's about the exact opposite of Cloud and Squall, he's very cheerful and optimistic. Anyway, I'm supposed to analyze his chances here. Well, quite frankly, his chances are non-existent. Crono is, in my humble opinion, the most likely winner of this contest, now that Cloud, Sephiroth and Link are gone. Zidane can do really well, he could even reach Vivi's level if he's lucky, but even that will be far from enough to give Crono the slightest trouble.

I think there won't be much SFF in this match, as FFIX fans really stick to their characters. But, we saw how Kuja did in the spring... FFIX is not strong enough to battle even the weakest characters with casual appeal. Crono has everything on his side - he's one of the strongest in the contest, he has the "cool" factor out of these two and Zidane is a mere debutant, who was given absolutely no chance in this contest just by being put here. I think this match will put Zidane slightly below Kefka's level in the X-Stats. He deserves better and I really hope he'll return next year.

Predicted percentage: Crono with 72.47%
