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

Hi, guys. I'm Aeon. I'm making this brief sojourn into the stats topic to inform you all that Magus is, in fact, increasing his lead and will survive the much lauded Knuckles day vote. My supporting statistics for this are that Magus kicks ass.

Well I like Magus better as a character but I have Knux in my bracket so. :( But so far it certainly seems that even with the mythical "day vote" Magus will beat Knux.

Knuckles better not lay an egg with the day vote. He's a male and that would be creepy.

I don't know if you'll read this, but I don't really desire to continue our debate from last night chichiri. If you think bowser and gannon both got roughly 10% boosts from their matches then I'm not going to change your mind, and you obviously have no intention of doing anything but telling me how my argument is lacking withot providing reasons even though I've provided a few, and made a topic that while lacking in replies doesn't show any indication that sephiroth would get antivoted by nearly 10,000 votes in one match but none of his others.

How about we both just give it up?

As it stands, I am going to get 5 points from the Devil Division. Magus>Knuckles, Magus>Squall, and Magus>Vicnent don't look to be happening.

And, as you can see, it's all Magus' fault.

Given how bad CT is at the dfay vote knux might actually end up winning. If that happened he'd definitely be the biggest winner of the round. I don't think anyone gave him a chance to win this match and he's keeping it very close.

The way knux generally owns the day vote and ct bombs during it, I wouldn't put it past knux to take a sizable lead.

Quick question. How did 2k3 Sam Fisher compare to 2k4 Sam Fisher?

I'm curious as to whether there might actually be a CT drop. Of course, we still have no clue how strong Frog is and Zidane should have some strength even if he isn't from the most popular game. Of course, I doubt even a drop would sufficiently explain this.

From: Slowflake | Posted: 8/10/2005 6:47:10 AM | Message Detail
Wylvane may be on to something. Frog flopped royally. Magus is doing the same, except he's losing (or about to, rather). What about Crono? A match with Zidane isn't exactly the best way to measure that.

Yeah. We don't know how much he SFFed Zidane, or how much Zidane sucked in the first place.

The contest is getting more and more interesting.

I don't see any way for Magus to win this now. He's just gonig to get worse furing the peak hours while knux gets stronger. What the hell is it with sonic characters and becoming stronger then they really are sometimes for one match? I'm looking at you shadow.

If, and only if:

1. Crono decreased a lot.
2. 20XXDF is bull.
3. Mario rSFFes Samus.

That's a lot to ask for.

From: I_Dont_Love_You | Posted: 8/10/2005 6:56:03 AM | Message Detail
Such a drop would make me feel better about having Mega Man over Crono if Magus weren't already killing my bracket and if I weren't scared that Sonic/Tifa would beat the Blue Bomber.

If a drop really has occured, I'd still think Crono would make it to the final but would either bomb to Samus or have yet another close match with Mario.

Or he'll lose to Vincent. I'm loving this contest.

Mario would have to get past Samus for that to happen, no? I can't see him beating Samus. But if, IF, Magus still wins this by keeping it close for the second night vote (which it seems he may be unable to) my pick of Squall>Magus may be looking better.

The lead is under 100 votes now. It's only a mtter of time before knux takes the lead and starts gaining through the entire day. Something tells me he's going to need to fend off a small magus comeback during the night, but if he keeps rising this fast through the entire day it won't matter.

I'm still leaning toward Samus, but now that my bracket's screwed I'm throwing all my support to Mario since I'm a Mario fanboy by heart.

Kefka was the slight underdog gonig into that mach statistically speaking soit wasn't that surprising. So many new square characters fallnig below the VFL, and so many others surprising the hell out of us with their strength is however shocking to say the least.
