*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

I can only imagine all the whining that will occur if Tifa beats Sonic. Sonic fanboys have proven time and again that they are some of the most annoying and ignorant fanboys there are. They'll go nuts seeing their precious character get beaten by the heroine of FFVII.

Oh please, teasing you for a day is a lot different from some idiot bringing up a meaningless match from a year ago for the sole purpose of trolling and you know it. You made a stupid pick with stupid reasons. Get over yourself.

I think you crossed the line of teasing awhile ago. I don't mind being teased about dumb picks ordinarily. Ryu vs Sonic anyone? But you've been coming off as far more jerky than joking for the majority of the day.

And this isn't only you, it's quite a few people.

And I barely even see you get made fun of about that, outside of random good-natured ribbing from Semi or some such. The people who bring up Vivi/DK only do it to troll, and it's horribly obvious.

Though bumping MM's topic and giving him the same treatment that the board has given everyone else in his situation is now an act of treason.

You guys can say whatever you want, but it still seems like a bit much to me, especially when Vincent was the consensus of the majority in the first place. It wasn't like this was some extreme upset that we can all rub in everyone else's faces for missing. I sure didn't see RPGuy doing this when Ness kicked our collective asses, and I respect him for it.

Barely? That comes back to bite me everytime I try to make a prediction about a "hyped" match. Hell, joking or not, I still got comments about Mega Man/Link when I tried to talk about Vincent doing as well as he did.

Not that any of this matters, really. People who picked Vincent are just having their fun for a day. There's no harm in that. It isn't like this will continue days after the match is over.

Time to settle this. Sure, Kerrigan over Vincent was a stupid pick, but there have been worse. Mega Man over Link, Ryu over Sonic, Vivi over DK, all of those are horrible, but the obvious losers were the morons who picked SMRPG to beat Street Fighter II.

...wait, what? SFII LOST???!!11!?!?!!11

See, I only act like this when people argue for the loser in a horribly obvious match, then said loser gets completely blown out of the water. I hardly ever rub extreme upsets in anyone's face, odd as that sounds.

When you make topics with bold predictions that come as far away from coming true as they possibly can, you open yourself up to criticism. That's kind of the whole point. High risk, high return. You get to tell people you were right; or you mocked. That's the way it is.

I had Ness too, and said repeatedly why he should be the favorite. But having CJ wasn't some crazy, irrational pick.

I don't know if you've been looking at the rest opf the board, but there really is some bad trolling going on right now. Some people tend to go beyond rubbing it in someones face. It's nothing new to this board, but some people are going a bit too far.
