*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 don't mind the scenes, but the graphics on the DS can't exactly do Xenosaga very well.

Where did you get it from? Through your provider, or off of a website? I ask because I have been searching for the intro music as my ringtone ever since I heard it play off this kid's phone in the mall a couple years ago.

And if you actually didn't do it, but are only typing it because Vincent is 'overperforming' well, then nevermind.

Heh, Crono's doing alright here. And to think I thought he would start *losing* ground at this point. Guess Vincent's day vote doesn't have the edge one might think compared to Crono.

Then again, I may have to eat those words come the after-school vote...
---

I see Crono being hurt by the after school vote.

And I also see a Mario/Sonic final.

Ah, excellent performance by Vincent here!

Unfortunately, this does not bode well for Crono next round.

So has anyone tried to figure out this new voter demographic? I know we've established that's where the Nintendo increase (and the general vote total increase) came from. But since it's not that they're voting for anything and everything on a Nintendo Console (see: Chrono Trigger) it really seems like our new surge of voters is coming from...

little kids with Gamecubes...

Advent Children is ****ing sweet.

More casuals, IMO.

The change in voting trends come in part thanks to the initial Gamespot link, and in part due to Square not releasing anything noteworthy since 2002. With no reason to come here, there's less Square fans, and more Nintendophiles with the onslaught of the DS and KILLER APPS like Hello Kitty: Roller Rescue.

I actually expect casual gamers to be greater fans of the PS2 and Xbox. Of course, it could be just a Gamefaqs thing. Or it might be the DS causing more Nintendo fans to visit the site.

*sigh*

That's been my thought, although I would think it's just kids with next gen consoles. Because to be quite honest and putting down all pretense of bias, (anyone who knows me knows I worship square) SSBM is probably the best game on any next gen. console.

Geez, wth is it with crono gaining some 30-50's during downtime, then all of a sudden some 120+s.

Vicent > Tifa
Crono > Sonic

Tifa would lose to squall

Is this true?

Nicely done, Vincent. Keep up the good work.

"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."

probably not... wait until next round. the x-stats should be able to tell us who's indirectly stronger.
---
.

Perhaps Vincent is just benefitting from Advent Children, but if not, Crono's in serious danger since Sonic got 56.40% on Tifa.
---
"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."

I doubt squall > luigi, if is, very close. Why? Because the year squall won was in 2k3(strongest square year), squall has weakened since then a bit. Luigi along with nintendo have gotten a huge boost. Vincent barely stronger then squall, I'd give it to Tifa.
---
- - -

squall has weakened since then a bit

Not much at all.

And I really Doubt Luigi raised that much.

Kirby may be different.

KB

Well, that's your opinion that you think he didn't but signs show he did, if he can get that close to tifa, who owned the hell out of vyse. Also, I did say a bit, not weakened a lot.
---

Vincent is not this powerful. This is gross underperformance by Crono... Sonic/Megaman is practically a lock for the finals now.
---
PH33R THE HANDGESTURE! http://handgesture.ytmnd.com/

I can't see Vincent being powerful, but I couldn't see him above Dante or Squall, so maybe this isn't such a bad performance from Crono. He even gets the day vote.
---

Well, its not a good preformance by Crono.

There could be some rSFF going on, but not likely.

I dont what the LOL X-stats have to say, but Squall I my logical view, Squall would get 40% on Crono.

maybe a little less due to SFF.

So seing that Vince and Squall are pretty equal, Vince is getting more than he should.


KB

60-40 sounds right to me. I don't think this is as bad as some people here are thinking.

of course, I've always said that MM could beat Crono.
---
.

Just wondering. If Vincent gets 43%, then how high would that put Magus and Knuckles? Maybe Magus wasn't that much overrated after all.
---
When this happened, all of us got PWND by Smurf
http://www.freewebs.com/vgcg/Knuckles.jpg

here's Vincent's division:

Vincent: 50.00
Squall: 49.41
Dante: 46.00
Knuckles: 45.65
Magus: 44.86
Terra: 26.22
Geno: 24.86
Kerrigan: 21.00

---
.

People are actually surprised that Vincent is getting 44% on Crono?
---
MM are my INITIALS "There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those that read binary and those that don't."

Just FYI, Squall 2k3/2k4 would be expected to get 32.37% on Crono 2k2. If Crono widens the gap, it could end up close to that, but if not, it's looking like either Squall rose (unlikely) or Crono's down below his 2k2 levels (incredibly awesome).
---
Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent.

Heh, 42.37%, sorry.
---
Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent.

Personally I think Vincent is just way stronger than people think

Does this match mean this then?

Vincent>Samus

cause Crono>Mario, and Mario got around 60% on Samus, while Vincent is doing around 45% on Crono...
---
You can have your opinion...
...It's wrong, but you can have it

If he can't own dante or squall then he isn't. Crono has just gotten weaker, why can't people admit it? He has nothing going for him besides a 10year old game. Do you really expect him to stay so popular when a lot of the people on this site probably started on the ps1-n64?
---
- - -

If you take Vincent based on Dante's strongest year(which shouldn't be too bad since it should be one of Dante's best years with DMC3) and Master Chief based on Face CATS, both performances match up perfectly and put Crono around 35% on BL.

It's a pretty big spill for him, but it still puts him within striking range of Sonic and perhaps Megaman. I wouldn't call him the favorite though.
---
Uh oh, they started moving their legs back and forth while standing in place. You're about to fight aren't you? - My friend watching me play FFT

I mean, just based on what the fanbase is I could have seen this coming. If you're still clinging to the x-stats, then this might not make a lot of sense. BUT if you just take into account who the characters are and who would vote for them, it makes perfect sense.

I don't think this means that Crono is much weaker at all. This is a SFF match, and I could see fans of both siding with Vincent. Especially seeing that he was expected to lose, this could very well be another bandwagon effect by those wanting to see Vincent end off in this contest well...
---
MM are my INITIALS "There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those that read binary and those that don't."

Megaman is going to the finals and losing to Mario.

---
Magus screwed my bracket over. Yay!

Even so, it's the second underperformance of the contest in a row. That's not what you want going into face another noble nine character

Tag.

What was the final score/votes for Bowser/Snake?
---
This is not a sig, just felt like writing something down here.

Solid Snake: 51387 votes (50.59%)
Bowser: 50191 (49.41%)

This match was just as close as Vincent/Squall in percents, but Solid Snake had a bigger lead on Bowser.
---

Just a little while ago Vincent barely beat Squall who would have no reason to increase (and is showing no signs of it it) whatsoever. An Advent Children leak couldn't of done THAT much for Vincent in such a short period of time, and Crono already looked weak again MC with the rest of the CT characters looking weak as well. I think we should just assume Crono is weak until next round.

---
Can't think of a good sig.

I could see it doing some damage. hell, FF7 is #4 on the faqs right now.

It still won't help Cloud however.
