*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

Yep, Cloud leading by 75 is sure dominating. I maintain that if Link were to actually lose this, that it would be the single biggest upset we've ever had in one of these things.

Over Cloud/Link I?!?!?

I dunno about that. I still think Cloud's first win was bigger. Plus, this wasn't out of the realm of possibility for Cloud from the start. Everyone just assumed that Link was gonna own him without even seeing either one in action.
---
"Stay there for me, trapped in memories."
"I...I won't become a memory."

Yes, over Cloud/Link 1. But that's probably just me.

Too be entirely honest, your 55%/asskicking votes deserve just as much sarcasm as you've dealt out right now.

1. Fiction. I think Cloud will be stronger with the after school vote than many suspect.

2. Fact. I'll even predict the match breaks 110,000.

3. Fiction. It'll be around 600.

Valiant effort, but I'm not possitive that it will mean a damn. He's not got much time to pull away before the day vote comes.

I once made a sig bet with TRE that Ganon wasn't actually over 31 on BL. The jury's still out on the pigman, but props to TRE 'cause I'm a believer again.

Well, the morning vote will hurt Cloud, but he'll have the 'school vote' before the 'afterschool vote' to create somewhat of a buffer. Advantage still to Link, though...last year isn't exactly easy to clear from one's mind.

*is Karma Hunter*

Ouch, all FF7 final.

Cloud's gonna get the school and after-school vote.

Vote every day in the NCAA Character Battle 2005 contest!

According to 2004, (which for all intents and purposes we can probably toss in the nearest trash compactor, but it's all we've got) Cloud was doing pretty well till around 8 ET. Going by that, it'll be 2 hours before we should look for Link to take a shot.
