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

rallying sucks.

Rallying never amount to jack. Warcraft was likely strong to begin with.

Makes me wonder how Diablo would do in Warcraft's place.

Actually, I'm planning on making the traditional column at the end of contests, because as it is, basically you've got some entrants as winners, and their opponents as losers. After the entire thing is done, you can actually have both as either winners or losers.

Regular polls like that shouldn't be an indicator. It only got 58,000 votes. These matches have almost double that.

Interestingly, the Carriers began to truly arrive for StarCraft against Wind Waker at midnight. That's when it cut off the last thousand votes (and built up it's own lead of 100), after taking roughly five and a half hours to cut off the first thousand.

At the 1:05 mark, this match has 13231 votes. To compare with other matches at the same time:

Zelda/Civilization - 10921
Metal Gear/Soul Calibur - 11510
Castlevania/Halo - 12216
Kingdom Hearts/Harvest Moon - 11807

I would've used Mario/Madden, but it was lagging at that point.
