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

Probably because if you're not a regular contributor, you get modded for trolling.

That's stupid. You should make a new topic when the old one is full, there's no point in having one waiting around. It just takes up space.

The n00b just wanted some publicity, I call trolling.

I highly doubt a topic with only 20 replies fills up much space on CJay's servers.

And this is done because trolls love to create the new stats topic when the old one ends and before a stats member could put up the next one.

It was asked about earlier, so...about the FF7-fave poll being redone: I made a feedback ticket afew weeks ago asking for it to be redone now that FF:AC is out and DoC hasn't been released yet...

...went to "Read" the next day. Then again though, the same thing happened with my Mario-fave poll months ago, too.....

I'd like to see some Favorite Final Fantasy polls with FFVII withheld, just to see the results. Seeing what game wins without FFVII, seeing how badly Squall slaughters the rest without Cloud, seeing how much Kefka can actually get without Sephiroth.

Even though it's pronounced "Air-iss" either way, which makes me wonder why people prefer "Aerith" when it's not even pronounced that way.

Thank you! As if anyone could enjoy that awkward th sound instead of a simple s.

It's pronounced the same way regardless of spelling. But Square's official spelling of the name seems to be "Aerith" now anyway.

Since the last really wasn't a big deal or anything ...

Vincent v. Solid Snake -- Who wins!

Keeping in mind, of course, Dirge of Cerberus is coming out August 15th, 2006!


I could definitely see Vincent being stronger indirectly (and taking Sonic or Mega Man out directly, if only a small chance), but against Snake, I just don't see it happening. I do believe there'd be a lot of SFF in that match, and even if history tells us that FFVII takes the SFF (FFVII - MGS, Sephiroth - Liquid), it's Solid Snake.

As much as I would vote FFVII over MGS and Sephiroth over Liquid I'd vote Snake over Vincent in similar fashion.

I'm not saying it couldn't happen at all, but I see him taking out Sonic and Mega Man before Snake.

Nominate Vincent Valentine for the character battle!
Steiner Shocker | Posted 8/5/2006 12:53:44 PM | message detail
That's pretty silly then. With the power of the internet, people can actually argue about the difference (And, of course, with the power of the internet, more people can not care than ever)

LeonhartForever | Posted 8/5/2006 12:54:08 PM | message detail
I'd sooner be inclined to say there's no SFF at all than to say FFVII gets SFF'd.

...Unless we're talking about somebody like Cait Sith or Palmer.
