*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

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

today's match is awesome. granted, i will not go overboard until i see Vincent face an opponent we have seen previous data on, since we have no idea where Kerrigan truly lies. but, i am very satisfied to se Vincent doing so well as he has always been one of my personal all-time favorites. and, since well before this contest, i have said that Kerrigan will be fodder and Vincent will be a near-elite. we shall see if that continues to be the case next round against Dante.

but for now, Vincent is about to break 78% as the day vote is just beginning. he really might break 80% by the end of the day. the tripling i saw as a good possibility, but getting the quadrupling would impress even me.

oh, and for the record, 9 gurus, including myself and HM, have Vincent winning the Devil Division. <3

Well, anyone with Luigi over Tifa just saw their bracket die.

Random thought. Now that we're seeing how much stronger Diablo is than Kerrigan, how do you think Diablo 2 would do in a game contest?

By the way, Vincent is at 77.86% right now. Could Kerrigan actually be gaining ground with the day vote? Damn, Vincent must be as much of a night wolf as Alucard.

If Vincent = 2004 Dante, Kerrigan would score 12.10% on 2003 Link, putting her below everyone in the 2004 field except for Ratchet, Guybrush and Tanner.

Dante is NOT beating Vincent.

I refuse to jump on the Vincent bandwagon just because he's wiping the floor with worthless fodder. I'll wait until his match against an established character before putting him over the Noble Nine, thnx.

Wow, I just got up and I can't beliecve how badly vincent is killing kerrigan. I expected her to lose, but thought she'd make it somewhat respectable. I seriously think that vincent could be a contender to make it into the elite eight now.

Wouldn't kerrigan have to be more worthless then eggplant cats or around there for dante to even stand a chance?

Who said anything about Dante? He's going down, whatever my bracket may say. I just think we're getting a little ahead of ourselves to say Vincent will be the contest champ based on a match against a totally new character who may well be below CATS. Especially with that unrecognizable pic, seriously.

Oh, there have been several people already putting him over Crono. Someone even claimed he'd be just a bit below Sephiroth... >_>

I wouldn't count Magus out just yet.

Ahem! Sorry, guys, but I have to rub it in, because I was so right:

With that pic of Kerrigan, I've changed my mind about the match.

Vincent will now triple her at least.

That prediction was made last night.

Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

Well, I have two choices with this match. I can believe Kerrigan is the most fodderific piece of fodder around for the sake of my bracket, or I can pray that Vincent somehow loses to Magus.

I would consider it quite likely that Vincent beats Magus at his current pace. He's not a lock yet, but he most certainly is looking good to beat him.

is the general opinion that these results are a sign of vincents strength or kerrigans weakness?

*waves the WTF flag*

Actually, I even had Vincent beating Magus, but then I changed it, and now I have it losing to him. I'm not saying that he's going to be stronger than/weaker than Magus, I'm just saying that it isn't that surprising with the fact I had him all the way there.

Though, not many characters can quadruple ANY kind of character (see: MC) and Vincent already did it in his first match. If this isn't impressive, I don't know what the hell should it be called then.
---
That's right. Cloud N. Candy would get a NEGATIVE percentage, and RPGuy's extrapolated calculator would crash. - therealmnm

is the general opinion that these results are a sign of vincents strength or kerrigans weakness?

Well, both.

I have a question guys. Do you think it will be possible to win this tournament if theoretically, I miss 7 points total (you guys know my bracket). If I end up ONLY missing CJ vs Ness, Kerrigan vs Vincent, Kratos vs Diablo, Vincent vs Dante, and Tifa vs Luigi.
---
"All pretty girls are a trap, a pretty trap, and men expect them to be."
MasterMage119

is the general opinion that these results are a sign of vincents strength or kerrigans weakness?

Mainly Kerrigan's weakness for me. An unrecognizable picture of a PC villain who was expected to be nowhere near Diablo (whose own strength has been overrated for months). Woo wee. Although, I will hand it to Vincent; he is shocking the hell out of all of us right now.
---
Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

I think it's pretty much a given by now that Vincent will beat Magus or at least give him one helluva match.
