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

Final Fantasy VIII for #1!

Yuna: "Stay with me until the end. Please."
Tidus: "Not until the end. Always."

For once. I have nothing to say. I haven't played any games in almost a month, since I'm separated from my game systems. This contest is over, so nothing much to talk about. So I'm just posting for the hell of it!
---
MM are my INITIALS "There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those that read binary and those that don't."

I don't play that many games myself - I've bought three this year. (likely to be 4 with DQ8 out soon). I've been slowly re-playing my old RPGs, but other than that I don't play stuff that much.

I haven't played much since I beat Halo 2's single-player mode. Had I been able to ever get Xbox Live working, I bet that would have changed alot...but, alas, I only game on occasion now.
---
Serious Reminder: Nominate Jay Solano for 2k6.
Why? Good question...just do it and nobody gets hurt.

Put my not playing isn't by choice! ;_;

I was smack in the middle of playing Dawn of Sorrow, Jak 3, Metal Gear Solid 2... Getting ready to start on a replay of Tales of Symphonia. Replaying Ninja Gaiden. Getting prepped to give Knights of the Old Republic a chance. But I've been away from home much longer than I expected to be.

"MERE TYPOS WILL NOT STOP ME." -ertyu001

It's not mine. v_v As much as I manipulate my little brother, I couldn't get the DS out of him now that he has Nintendogs. PLUS he has my Castlevania down there since I can't play it.

He needs it though. We're still out of power down there from Hurricane Wilma (although we do have a generator...)

"You little hoochees!"

Wow, somebody else on this board other than me and Heroic Mario has played the Jak games? Amazing.

It's a shame that more people haven't. Great series.
---
Yuna: "Stay with me until the end. Please."
Tidus: "Not until the end. Always."

Yeah, I went and picked up Jak & Daxter and Jak II right before the Ness/Jak match just to hype myself up and find a reason to like Jak. Great games! Jak 3 is definitely the best one to me so far...
---
MM are my INITIALS "There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those that read binary and those that don't."

I've played the first two, but not Jak 3. Fun games, though Jak II was really frustrating.
---
Jman_gamerX8 has owned us with his sexy plumber bracket.

Jak 3 toned down the frustration levels of Jak II. One of the most frustrating things about Jak II was its lack of properly placed spawn points. Jak 3 was a bit more forgiving, although the challenge was still there.
---
MM are my INITIALS "There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those that read binary and those that don't."

Meh. Had a grand total of 29 points if I added it up correctly. 13 of those points are due to SMW, and 5 of them are due to SM64. Otherwise, my list was pretty decent!

I'm a lil' surprised FFX got so close to FF3/6, myself, no matter where they ranked. Add to it FF3/6 was the lowest-ranked of the Super Seven AND was the only one with a gap inbetween it and the Super Seven (a gap of three games, no less), and, well, maybe it really is beginning to lose its touch...?

Heh, I noticed that too. Also, though I haven't checked to see, I figure Vyse and Ryo are about even if you compare what Vyse did this year.
---
Serious Reminder: Nominate Jay Solano for 2k6.

I really do think that's a bit overblown. FF6 is still a top 10 game and had to compete with CT for a tournament like this. LTTP had no other SNES rival.

FFX that close to FFVI doesn't surprise me at all.

Hmmm... my entry looked good until Metroid Prime decided to show up 19 spots too low, which makes up about half my total points >_>
---
Jman_gamerX8 has owned us with his sexy plumber bracket.

Heh, my under-estimation of LoZ:LttP is what got me. If I had switched it and Halo (I had LoZ:LttP at #9 and Halo at #6), I'd be at 14 points right now. Technically though, SM64 at #7 cost me a point more than what LoZ:LttP did, but losing that extra point was worth it to keep it on the list, heh...

...unless it costs me prizes or leaderboard glory. Then it's hellfire and brimstone.

so if there's a top 50 how many guru's are expected on it?
---
Nominate CATS,Jay Solano,Weedle and Ifnkovhgroghprm for sc2k6

SM64 cost me nearly half my points, at #7. I messed up nearly everything else, but it was only a one point drop here and there.

Pay no attention to this average middle-aged man standing by this sign.

Well if there is a Spring Games contest, this shows us not to underestimate San Andreas or Resident Evil 4.

Jman_gamerX8 is sexier, funnier, and all around better guy than I am, because he won the Summer 2005 Guru Contest.

Wanna bet that the movie had something to do with that?

This space reserved for next Guru winner, unless it is moi.

I can't imagine the movie had any affect whatsoever on people putting it in their top 10 games.

Looks like GTA was unfortunate. The three games seemed to be stealing each others votes.

If this was last year, I wonder if Vice City could have stolen 7th?

Explicit Content, Thrusting Harder Than Ever
http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=23866059&page=0

Oh YEAH, baby! One point for SSBM, four points for FF6, three points for FF10 (darn... so close...), three points for GTA:SA, six points for KH (not quite, but it didn't get battered as bad as it could have been) for a grand total of 17 points! Not too bad... now, onto a little bit of analysis from yourd truly.

SotN ranked #15? Wow. OoT/GE SFF becomes really valid, and I'm starting to wonder if GE isn't really an elite in disguise. D2 only two places behind Starcraft... I'll take that. SMW BEHIND SMB1, and worlds behind SM64? Didn't expect that. GTA3 > GTA:VC? Interesting. Metroid doesn't really look like it's a force, with Super at #24 and Prime at #29... People actually got over their fear of voting Pokémon? Too bad they voted the wrong series at #28... Tetris at #34 seems really high, and quite close to LoZ to boot. People outside of this board still care about this game? WIND WAKER OVER MAJORA'S MASK OH GOD YES OH GOD YES! The first Metroid beats out MP2... darn you for only selling 500k copies. ToS beats Halo 2? I'm damn impressed. Speaking of which... Halo 2 at #85? Looks like not being on the drop-down list really hurt it more than I gave it credit for.

Oh, I mean, four for FF10, two for GTA:SA. Same end result, though.

There's always someone better.

#15: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - PS
#16: Kingdom Hearts - PS2

Now see, this is just proof that Sora is a better character than Alucard.

I'd really like to see a top ten character contest with this format, now. And I'd REALLY like to see the top 100 master list for that kind of a thing, too.

...any way of telling Ceej that would be a good idea? <_<

That would be awesome, but I have a feeling he wouldn't allow us to give Cats 10 points.

CATS would be the ultimate write-in then. Besides, he's shown more strength than legit characters before and he's been in every contest (barring the Game Contest).
---
Serious Reminder: Nominate Jay Solano for 2k6.
Why? Good question...just do it and nobody gets hurt.

I have 21 points, if I counted right. Not too bad. Am I seeing ToS as the top write-in, or am I missing another game? <3 GameFAQs. Disappointed to see Metroid games so low and flat-out shocked to see SMW fall so far. I thought it would be a lock for the top 20.

That... was her final mission. And like a true soldier, she saw it through the end.

SOTN that high and Mario 1 above Mario World really made by day.

Currently Playing: Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, Advance Wars 2

Mario 1 over any of the other Mario games on the list saddens me, myself. Decent fun, but nothing compared to nearly any game that the series ever created.

Heh, it looked as if my list suck badly though when you look at it, it was a nice one. Barring out that I put MGS2 instead of MGS, I would had finish with around 21 points even though I missed 4 games.

Meche313, official alt. ^_^

Pokemon gets antivoted pretty badly, so a format like this is more conducive to its doing well. still lost to Xenogears, though.

Heh, I prefer SMB to all the other 2D Mario games (Keep in mind that the first Mario game I owned was Sunshine, so this isn't any nostalgia)

Pokemon gets antivoted pretty badly, so a format like this is more conducive to its doing well. still lost to Xenogears, though.

Then wouldn't that do the same thing for Metal Gear Solid 2? Instead, it got #41 and was the lowest of its series' three games.
