*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

Huh? The old one purged? When was the last time THAT happened without it being full? <_<

That hasn't happened for like 200+ topics, right?

Yeah, it only had 8 posts. I guess everyone forgot about it. Usually someone starts a discussion that lingers while the old one finishes out.

Speaking of Knuckles and the Sweet 16, you know one thing that would make the bracket better is to have new blood getting to the later rounds. I absolutely hate when characters have automatic losses hanging over their head in the second and third rounds.

I wouldn't mind having the big boys battling a bit earlier in order for some new blood being able to get to the Sweet 16.

*blatant attempt to get sprite pics of Knuckles and Luigi*

I WOULD like to see Knuckles vs. Luigi with sprites...

Aeris: I KNOW.

On the topic of snubs, I definitely want to see Fox and AERIS return next year. Other than that I'll be nominating CATS, Gordon, and mostly new people (including Jay). I might give Crono a nom just because he's STILL never gotten a #1 seed.
---
SC2k5 and SpC2k5 First Vote Champion
Nominate Aeris for SC2k6.

Fox needs to return, Ken needs to return, and I'd like to see Toad get in this year.

so how much do vote totals matter in the end?
is it better to have 120k votes or a simple 50k?
---
Nominate CATS,Jay Solano,Weedle and Ifnkovhgroghprm for sc2k6

120,000, no doubt -- higher vote totals makes these contests more epic and credible.
---
Serious Reminder: Nominate Jay Solano in 2k6.
Why? He floats like a butterfly and stings like a...butterfly. Can't match grace like that.

The higher the vote total, the less of an effect that bracket-voters can have.
---
MM are my INITIALS "There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those that read binary and those that don't."

We should try to have the Stats Topic come together with a list of five or so characters we want to nominate for 2006. Fox seems like a pretty popular idea, and I would like to put forth Aeris as another possible nominee as well.

who reckons prince of persia is likely to remplace someone like kratos for 2k6?

So, WHICH fighting game character will Sonic take down in the first round next year? I say Nightmare.

Yeah, as long as there's something for characters on hiatus as well.

Yes, I intend to incorporate a slot for characters who've been in before but not this year.
---
Yuna: "Stay with me until the end. Please."
Tidus: "Not until the end. Always."

I know more people are going to get behind Fox or Aeris for that kind of thing, but personally, I'd rather see Aya Brea, Morrigan, or Strider just to see how they'd do now.
---
Yuna: "Stay with me until the end. Please."
Tidus: "Not until the end. Always."

I'd like to see them back too - the problem is, they'd probably all be fodder. Considering that Aeris has some real power (and I like her better), I'm more interested in seeing her return. But I might be willing to spend a nomination on someone like Morrigan.
---
SC2k5 and SpC2k5 First Vote Champion
Nominate Aeris for SC2k6.

I think Aeris would take that spot without trouble.

No, do NOT put Aya Brea in this thing again. Square has all but forgotten about Parasite Eve. Once she performs poorly, people will just call her match against Donkey Kong a fluke. I would have said Musashi because at LEAST he's still relevant, but his PS2 game was pretty forgettable.

I'd go with Fox myself since he has barely gotten a chance to do anything in these contests. At least Aeris has two Sweet 16 appearances under her belt plus a strong showing against Sonic. Plus we pretty much know that she will probably perform around Tifa's level.

Fox, we pretty much have no clue where he stands. He got pitted in the first round against Cloud, and we've seen other occurances of people getting knocked out in the first round that are deceptively stronger. Then he gets stuck in TWO SFF in 2k3, one where he benefits, and one where he is on the ass end. Then you have to add to that the Nintendo boost of 2k5, and you have to wonder how he could have done. You could have stuck him in any of the divisions and made it interesting...

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

So far for new entrants/old entrants that need to get in again, I'm all for the following:

1. The Prince of Persia
2. Fox McCloud
3. Aeris Gainsborough
4. Phoenix Wright
5. Raphael/Nightmare
6. Pikachu

Granted I don't like all of the above characters (3,5,6) but I'd like to see them in a contest setting, there's probably more, but that's all I have for now.

Well to be fair I'm not doing it because of SSB:M, it just so happens that SSB:M is a game with a collection of Nintendo's most popular characters, I can't help that.

Reading old stats topics is fun. Apparently slowflake is psychic:

From: Slowflake | Posted: 9/4/2003 5:38:29 AM | Message Detail

[...]

Who was the #2 villain behind Sephiroth? Magus? Ganondorf? Bowser? (These four should be the top seeds in a villain contest!)

[...]

Another point of interest... Mario vs. Samus could be THE bracket-buster if it happens next year.
---
SC2k5 and SpC2k5 First Vote Champion
Nominate Aeris for SC2k6.

people I'll nominate:

1. Jay Solano
2. Serge
3. POP

after that it's up for debate. I don't care to nominate character #454 from SSBM or FF7, but I'll probably do Fox for Soul. I would really like to see Serge in action.

---
xyzzy

Man, I would've loved to see Sephiroth obliterate Magus and see everyone call it SFF. That would've made the Knuckles upset all the sweeter, methinks.

And the stat topics tend to get more humorous the further back you go.
