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 say Shadow Hearts is. The PS FFs have a very big overlap with the PS Resident Evils, so aside from the GC RE4 there's the potential for a LOT of SFF there.

If Street Fighter wins it might be a different story, but that would entail RE losing and lowering SH even further...

Madden's gonna get even weaker after FF is done with Mario though. they're both going to look pitiful, but I think Madden has the edge here.

XD @ those stats

I can't remember who said it in an earlier topic, but I agree: this is basically going to be FF, Zelda, Mario... and then Metal Gear at like 25%. Yeesh.

Who do you guys have for SMB vs. FF. I picked FF. Not sure it will win though because its up against SMB which had to have gotten some sort of boost from NSMB for the DS. '_'
