*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

That's fairly impressive, and will go by the wayside if Tifa beats Sonic, anyone not Mario or Samus beats Snake, or Vincent beats Crono. That's all we have to look for, really.

I really don't see why, unless Sora blows Alucard out of the water tomorrow. Even completely unadjusted Snake is above him, and he's showing signs of looking like he should be adjusted.

Donkey Kong will beat Master Chief.

We have to do soemthign about the first post, it's excessively crowded and most of those links are irrelevant or unnecessary (how many links do we need to sc2k5.com?)

Now Link, fill up your hearts

I'd die happy if DK beat Master Chief. I have a feeling that DK will have a sizable lead with the first night vote and morning vote, but he'll probably choke it away during the day and fall too far back.

http://picturesofwalls.com

i'm going on record right now as aying that Sora will win over Alucard with ease. much like today and yesterday, the match will never be in question (although Alucard could win this board vote) and Sora will finish with over 54%. and all for these reasons:

1. Alucard was over-estimated in Ganondorf's SFF adjustment last year and shouldn't be ranked as high as is. (that one is more opinion than fact, but it is also pure speculation as to where exactly Ganondorf should have ranked in the first place.

2. Sora got a new game on a new platform that sold several hundred thousand copies already, possibly introducing him to many more fans. plus, his personality was a bit more mature and likable in Chain of Memories.

3. this contest has had more voters than 2K4, and higher vote totals almost always favor the more mainstream character. and while SotN is one of the greatest games of all-time, Alucard is not a mainstream character.

Both of those are terrible, particularly Tidus.

Bowser looks awesome and Ryu doesn't look too bad.

Donkey Kong looks good and Master Chief looks decent.

Is part of the plan lookin' like a mannequin?

I'm cool with the rest of the pics, though Kirby/Tidus needed better quality.

I think the Tidus/Kirby picture is fine. In fact, they're all pretty much above what we've been getting this round.

Except for Alucard vs Sora... Alucard looks so bad in that picture.

The Pics:

Alucard vs. Sora: This one is great. Both characters look amazing.

Kirby vs. Tidus: Too much Kirby.

Bowser vs. Ryu: Bowser looks like a moron. Ryu's pic is nice.

Master Chief vs. DK: OMG, a DK pic where he doesn't look like a moron. Master Chief will have his work cut out for him.

Bowser/Ryu is easily, easily the best pic thus far this round. Very nice pic.

Of course Alucard does... CJayC wrote the KH FAQ!!!

SC2k5 - 39/42 (Kefka, Magus, Ocelot)

Above what we've been getting? I can't say I agree with that at all. Both of them could have gotten far better -- it's about the same terrible quality we've been getting this round.

---

Bowser got the pic Leonhart used to continue Ceej's spree of "worst pics ever" for the round.

Ceej may have wrote the KH FAQ, but he's said more than once that SotN is his favorite game of all time...

The King of all Cosmos' route to summer victory:
Round 1: (0) Voters

What? What's wrong with it?

Pretty much everything. From the quality to the picture itself, it's nothing that is good; he could have chosen something far better, if you ask me. I would have liked to see him get his best possible picture there. But, eh, it isn't like that'll kill him or anything so I'm fine.

---

The pictures look great. Alucard looks a little weird, but it's not terrible. Kirby/Tidus is a bit fuzzy, but is still ok. The rest kick ass! GO DK!

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b38.jpg

Alucard looks like a female. An ugly one. Sora gets the pic advantage, although it really isn't a big deal in this match.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b39.jpg

For some reason, I really don't feel comfortable when looking at this pic. Moving on...

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b40.jpg

Where's Bowser's kart?! WHERE?! Ryu stole it and is about to receive an ass kicking for his troubles. That's where!

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b41.jpg

It's impossible for Master Chief to not look boring as sin in a pic. I hope DK clobbers him good.

---
Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

Leave it to CJayC to make Donkey Kong look like the most photogenic character ever.

Seriously, if Master Chief relies a lot on "Hey, it's that dude from Halo!" vote, he might be in a little hotter water. Still should win with ease, though.

Bleh. It's quite decent for a mugshot, not as if you could tell he's driving a cart. Other than him gnawing the stick-shift. *sweatdrop*

I've seen far worse official pics for Bowser off Google.

Kirby/Tidus is out-and-out NASTY though. Just looking out it makes me feel like I'm coming down with the Clap.

AGGGHHHH!!!! ALUCARD HURTS MY EYES! - Advantage: Sora

A pink thing versus Meg Ryan w/o lipstick. - Advantage: Tidus

A very good Bowser vs. Ryu pic. I can't tell if there will be an advantage.

Another good pic. DK has the slight advantage here.

I doubt it, seeing as Halo is played for the multiplayer anyway.

I'm not sure, but maybe. Although Samus didn't have her trademark colors in the first round and still favored very well.
