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

Never forget. Never forgive.

What does everyone think Yoshi is going to beat Mega Man by? Like 20%? 30%? I think 22.51%, personally.

Well...Tifa's got a long, ardorous climb to get Sonic under 56%, but I think she'll make it. Or at least get close...

Tomorrow is a very important match for Megaman. He has to do as good or better than Sonic did against Tifa.

Should be a good match, but I doubt Yoshi will ever have a chance. 45% seems probable, though.

Tifa held her own quite well, despite her total choke job against Luigi last round.

Either Sonic hasn't increased by much, or Luigi is making a legendary boost, in Cloud 2k3 style.

I just find it ridiculously hard to believe that Jill is less popular then Leon which makes Megaman look awful in my eyes.

If Link can SFF Mega Man, you bet your arse Mega Man can SFF Yoshi... heh. Mega Man with over 60%!

I just find it ridiculously hard to believe that Jill is less popular then Leon which makes Megaman look awful in my eyes.

Even though Leon's current game is all the rave of RE fans? Jill may have had a higher peak of popularity or may have BEEN more popular before, but right now, it's apparently all about Leon. 35% isn't THAT big a deal anyways. I mean, Tommy Vercetti was able to get 33% on Mega Man back in 2k3. What's wrong with Leon Kennedy of RE fame getting 35?

I think the prediction percentage for Mario/Samus will be lower than Mega Man/Sonic, if Samus wins (and regardless of who wins in Mega Man/Sonic).

20XX Division Round 3 - Match 56 – (1)Mega Man vs. (3)Yoshi
Flutter Kick! Flutter Kick!!!

Mega Man
Round 1 – vs. Conker (Mega Man: 76.02% - Conker: 23.98%)
Round 2 – vs. Leon (Mega Man: 64.56% - Leon: 35.44%)

Mega Man looks very bad in his match with Leon…ouch.

Yoshi
Round 1 – vs. Laharl (Yoshi: 73.66% - Laharl: 26.34%)
Round 2 – vs. Pac-Man (Yoshi: 72.83% - Pac-Man: 27.17%)

Making Ocelot look like he’ll struggle with Laharl. Silly Pac-Man

Alright, we have an unimpressive looking Mega Man vs. an impressive looking Yoshi. As much as I hate to say it, Yoshi on his best day couldn’t beat Mega Man on his worst. Last I checked, Mega Man was an elite in these Contests.

“But Moltar!” You scream, “Leon couldn’t even get 60% on Gordon Freeman, and then Mega failed to double Leon!” Well, Gordon DID have Half-Life 2 come out since the last Contest, and people DO love the snot out of that game. It’s not too farfetched to think that Gordon has gone way up, and that Leon was underestimated in his match against Mega Man. I still think Mega Man is the strong elite he is, especially after beating Conker like that. Yoshi should do well though. Snake got 43% on Mega last year, and Zero got 44% on the Blue Bomber in 2004, so it will be interesting to see where Yoshi fits in. To think, Yoshi being a near-elite! That would make my day.

Moltar’s Bracket Says: Mega Man will win.

Moltar’s Prediction is: Mega Man: 60% - Yoshi: 40%



Ulti’s Analysis

To make a good writeup or not to make a good writeup, that is the question now that my hands hurt like hell from writing thank you cards yesterday with no break :(

Hmm. I feel like being lazy, so I'll just say that I think Mega Man will underperform and be done with it. Not only do I believe that Sonic will shut up all of the Tifa fans, but I also think that Mega Man is in for a surprise as well. But more on that when the time comes.

Prediction: Mega Man with 59.99%



Soul’s Analysis

Round 2 Results

Mega Man defeated Leon Kennedy: 64.56% - 35.44%

Yoshi defeated Pac-Man: 72.83% - 27.17%

Mega Man came off of a disappointing win over Leon last round. You know, the same character that couldn't break 60% on Gordon Freeman. Predictions of Mega Man winning the contest came to an abrupt halt after this. Not only was Mega Man weaker, but the now he has to heavily worry about Sonic next round. And even if he somehow manages to "upset" Sonic next round, he's basically a sitting duck against Crono the round afterward. Also, it seems as though many people believe (finally) that Mega Man should not have been adjusted last year. If his match against Link was legit, Sonic would be ahead of him by more then 1% in the X-Stats. Add in a possible Sonic boost, and well, I wouldn't want to be in Mega Man's shoes right about now.

But even before all that happens, he has to worry about defeating Yoshi! Although Yoshi has defeated two fodder to get to round 3, he still looked mildly impressive. Of course, you have to take FFF into consideration here as well. Although, I believe you can assume that Yoshi got a boost because everyone around him (ie: Nintendo characters from the Mario franchise) all got a boost.

I'm pretty positive that Mega Man should have no trouble in winning the match against Yoshi. I find it hard that Yoshi could beat Mega Man. With that said, I know it's going to be a close match as well. If Mega Man can keep Yoshi under 40%, he looks like he can defeat Sonic next round. Well, we got to wait and see I guess.

My prediction: Mega Man wins with 56.50% of the vote. Blue Blur > Blue Bomber.

SC2K5: Samus is going all the way!
Sonic vs. Tifa - Bracket: Sonic - Vote: Sonic (76/88)

Outback’s Analysis

This division was never in question from the start. I guess I'm kinda glad to have some sort of normalcy here.

Mega Man with 63.00%



Inviso’s Analysis

Mega Man is actually one of the four characters people mainly believe will win the tournament, yet in the past two rounds, he’s performed rather badly. Against Conker, he performed weakly, a little lower than Crono…but Mega Man always over performs in round 1 and then does badly later. And this over performance is Mega Man’s weakest yet. And then, in round 2, he goes on to fail at doubling a character that did rather poorly against Gordon Freeman. Yoshi on the other side of the division has blown out two characters thus far, the only non-noble niner to do so. He has actually shown a good example of a Nintendo boost. He’ll definitely be giving Mega Man a run for his money, but I think the Blue Bomber will win this match, even if it is close when he does so. Too bad I’ve disliked every character in this division besides Leon and Gordon, who are already eliminated.

My Bracket: Mega Man
My Vote: Mega Man
My Prediction: Mega Man with 54.19%



Tnote’s Analysis

Mega Man is done overperforming, as the 2nd round is over. He egged it up against Zero last year, and will probably do the same this year. Yoshi thrashed Pac Man like Luigi said he would, but like Bowser said he couldn't. Yoshi should be thrilled if he can crack 45%, but I do not expect the Nintendo boost to be that prominent.

Pick: Mega Man with 58.27%



Vlado’s Analysis

Eh... Well, some think that Yoshi can win here, thanks to the huge Nintendo increase, but please... This is Mega Man, it's not some random midcarder. Yoshi is very well liked among the Nintendo characters on
GameFAQs, but I doubt it will be enough to threaten the Blue Bomber. Now, if it were Ganon, it could have been possible. Mega Man didn't impress against Leon, but what says Leon isn't strong? After all, he's the star of a game that was Gamecube-exclusive so far. With the Nintendo increase, it makes sense that he'd be stronger than one would initially think.

Yoshi beat Laharl and then Pac-Man, breaking 70% on both, but not impressing in either of the matches. This division is so weak it makes me sick... I'm still bitter than Ocelot lost to someone like Pac-Man. What the hell happened there! X-Stats fail. I'm absolutely sure that Ocelot would've done better on Yoshi than Pac-Man did. But whatever. Nintendo or not, Yoshi can't beat Rockman. He's not Master Chief, after all.

Predcited percentage: Mega Man with 56.19%

SC2K5: Samus is going all the way!
Sonic vs. Tifa - Bracket: Sonic - Vote: Sonic (76/88)

Against Conker, he performed weakly, a little lower than Crono…but Mega Man always over performs in round 1 and then does badly later. And this over performance is Mega Man’s weakest yet.

What?

No, he wouldn't have. TJF isn't even that apparent in the picture.

But does anyone think Mega Man's picture might help him overperform against Yoshi? I mean, he's about the Hadouken him into oblivion, similar to what he had against Snake last year.

Man, we're already at 90,000 and we've still got 6 hours left. Nice to see. However, it doesn't look like it'll beat Snake/Zelda. That match must've been very heavily end-loaded. It's 3000 behind now.

I don't mind Tifa pushing down Sonic with her night vote. Sonic already won, and I need him to look a bit weaker of Mega Man is going to pull through. And it has the effect of making my oracle a bit better.

Do you guys think Yoshi will overperform a bit tomorrow? He might make Mega Man look pretty weak.
