*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 call it now. Even though Final Fantasy is a mortal lock to win the contest, some Nintendo series (and I'm betting on Mario) will be the #1 overall seed. Happens every contest :(

I am nominating Mega Man to make god damn sure it gets in this time. it's not going to need it, but whatever.

other things I'll nominate:

Metroid
Shadow Hearts
Dragon Warrior
Xeno- (is that a series?)

I'd do FF and those, but they'll make it no problem. I wonder if this is 16, 32, 64..?

Metal Slug
Super Mario

There's what I came up with.

The Legend of Zelda
Super Mario
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Ratchet and Clank
Kingdom Hearts
Resident Evil
Silent Hill
Metal Gear Solid

My eight so far. Not a very bright beacon of originality. >_>

One point, however: CJayC claims all numbered spinoffs count as separate entries. Would that mean Metroid and Metroid Prime are actually separate?

I doubt it, since the two series are very intertwined and canon. MM and MMX, on the other hand, are two completely different worlds. The only similarity is Wily, and you almost never see or hear from him in the X series.

My list:

Metal Gear Solid
Mario
Mario Kart
Mega Man (original series)
Star Fox
Prince of Persia
Halo
F-Zero
Perfect Dark
Super Smash Brothers



Though mainly favorites, I threw in one or two I thought would be good to see contest-wise (looking at you, PoP and F-Zero).

As posted in the other topic:


I hate to whore the board out, but I plan to make a note in my final nomination about my Four-Pack of Fun board. ASSUMING CJay gives it the light of day, I would hope that he would see plenty of four-packs that may be good ideas for him...plus the board's been dying recently. Any suggestions and four-packs on the board would be nice.

Character Battle for the summer confirmed! Oh am I happy ...

Hoo-rah.


I do want to mention something that will inevitably be brought up: the Board Odds Project. With Slow gone, unless he comes back like a hero, we need somebody to take his place for when the bracket is released.
