Three match pics for Mario/Snake, seven for Crono/Mega. And Ceej once again tries his best to pretend that X doesn't exist, despite telling us that all forms are essentially the same. So we have all Mega forms conjoined for purposes of the contest, yet only one form makes it into the match pics.

Makes sense.

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

makeyourchance: Of course, you could also say, "LOOK AT ME I'M A FLYING ANUS", but that's beside the point.

And Ceej once again tries his best to pretend that X doesn't exist,

He's like Capcom, because MMX has never had any reps in a crossover besides a Pocket Fighter cameo and 2 cards.

And as I say that, Crono gains a nice spike in the votes in that last update...

Upon examination of the last match, Mario handed Snake his worst percentage loss ever...by .03%. ;_;

For the first time ever, Solid Snake has made the Final Four! Believe it.

crono has been always increasing his lead consistently (40+ votes each time) except for the unexplicably 3 updates that MM won

They're not inexplicable. MM's VPU have stayed more or less constant, while Crono's are all over the place.

lol blinders

Crono's last gains were from his own huge surges. MM has stayed constant.

Huge MM gain there.

Interesting point, the votals are huge for this match. It took Sonic/Mega Man another hour before it got to 9000.

And look at that! Crono goes back down to his "normal" VPU, and MM takes another gain.

MM's VPU range has been about 30, while Crono's has been 60.

You can make that 20 for MM if you take out one bad update.

This happened with Snake/Mario too though. Mario made some huge gains then Snake would chop off a couple and even 30 one time.

X is in one of the pictures. Mega Man takes up the majority of the picture, but above him is a close up of a face and it's X's face.

how come link/cloud hasn't been discussed to hell and back like magus/squall was?

the match ought to be the greatness considering the fact that FF7 fanboys have been swarming over gamefaqs more than usual

What a 42 carat plonker you really are~del boy only fools and horses

Mario/Snake made more sense though. That was Mario's worst time, and Snake's best. It only makes sense that he'd score a few good updates in there. He scored a fair amount of updates at the end of the poll, too.

I thought Snake only needed 42.41% for Kirby > Samus. He made that, didn't he?

crono wins 5 or so votes.hes starting to lose percent now

I thought Snake only needed 42.41% for Kirby > Samus. He made that, didn't he?

I'm not good with the xstats, but I thought it was 42.81, and Solid Snake got 42.79. But I hope you are right.

Mario had pretty regular updates... his range was about 20 or so, but when they took a big loss, they stayed low, but it's to be expected as it's kinda the dead zone of gamefaqs.

Snakes votes were more irregular, but his range was about 30 during the entire time too.

---
~This sig was pimped by Icon's sig~
Cheer up Emo kids.

Nah, 42.81 was the magic number for Mario to give Snake his worst percentage loss ever (I was wrong, he only beat MM's percentage by .02%). Kirby should be above Samus in the unadjusteds with this.
---

crono loses some votes again

It was 42.41% Well done Snake!

Things are looking good for Megaman. Crono can't get a 1000 lead before Megaman's worst hours are over. Go the blue bomber.

I just realized something funny: If Mario can SFF Megaman as bad as he did to Samus, then the Xstats will say Mario, Solid Snake and Bowser> Samus, Megaman, Crono and Sonic.

XD

[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]

These aren't Mega Man's worst hours...if anything, they're his best. We're coming up on his worst hours, though: the early morning vote.

From there, it's just how much his day vote outclasses Crono's, if at all. If he can't make any headway with that, he's pretty much finished.

700 vote barrier holding strong, I see.
---

This is strength vs strength. Both characters are good with the night vote, but Crono is obviously better. This means that for Mega to win, he'll have to rely on the day vote to give him a lead that is too big for Crono's second night vote to cancel out. Given that Crono is horrid in the day and MM is simply average, it's possible. Especially on a weekend, where just about anything can happen.

---

looks like the lead will keep increasing

The more Crono stretches this lead, the harder it will be for Mega to win this thing, because Mega has to both come back and hold off the insane CT night vote later.

Though I want Crono to win. Mario vs Crono 4, baby! And this time, Mario is looking stronger than he ever has.

Hmm...depending on how this match goes, we could potentially see Crono, Mega Man, and Sonic all within a percent of each other. Then, suppose if Crono goes to the finals and does much better on Mario than seems possible...

...WDF redux, anyone? <_<

Whatever...

whoa.lead stayed the same.744

Or what if Megaman gets to the final than gets SFF'D and does worse than Solid Snake o_0

That would be a nice situation, to be honest, if only to see the glory of Solid Snake at #2 in the unadjusted X-Stats. The sweetest thing of all, though, would be for Crono to get there and Mario to SMASH him with, say...oh, 57.22+%. <_<
---
For the first time ever, Solid Snake has made the Final Four! Believe it.

that wont happen.mario got less than that on snake.mario is on the same level of crono this year.he isnt the favorite anymore

...not exactly sharp enough to spot what I was doing there, huh?
---

Mario wouldn't beat Crono with More than 53%...

Samus only got beat that bad due to SFF.
