400 x 500 = 200,000 stats topic posts at the end of this topic. And yeah there were a couple of mishaps, but remember that one stats topic was remade after it was over 250 posts due to a whacky purge.

Anyway, yay 400! *pops champagne*

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

man, Snake is going to look like the sexiest upset pick ever vs. Mega Man - potential SFF on Squall and the same with Dante, assuming he wins. Mega Man on the other hand gets Sora on KH2-roids. I fully expect Snake to be the board favourite by the time that match comes around.

Don't act like it won't be warranted! <_<

I wasn't meaning so much that today's match SHOULD change people's opinions on Sonic/Vincent, as it's something I've been curious about for afew days, but today's match doesn't look good for Vincent either.

Heh, if Vincent did get 49% on Sonic though and Sonic > Solid still...there'd be a good chance that Solid is rSFF'ing Squall!

Eh, I don't think it says one thing either way. Vincent's chances aren't lowered because of this match.

Of the sixteen women that made it in the second round of the female side of the contest, here's two divisions based on their individual vote-totals from the first two rounds combined -- one of the winners, one of the losers:

1-Zelda
8-Chun-Li
4-Tifa
5-Rikku
3-Yuna
6-Aeris
2-Samus
7-Princess Peach

1-Jill Valentine
8-Terra
4-Kairi
5-Ada Wong
3-KOS-MOS
6-The Boss
2-Lara Croft
7-Joanna Dark

Fairly easy divisions, if I may say so myself...at least the first division, anyway -- only Zelda/Tifa in that one.

No one paying attention leads to mass bumping. Mass bumping leads to disruptive posting. Disruptive posting leads to the dark si- I mean moderations >_>

Pleinair's been modded before and year-old topics deleted. The only reason they lasted so long is that no one really brought them up to the mods.

Squall with three straight respectable updates. if he keeps this up and the day vote favours him as it should, he might actually look okay here.

xyzzy

dragoontheguy | Posted 10/21/2006 11:43:54 PM | message detail

I knew squall would come out of this with over 40%, but the fact that he's increasing in percentage in the dead of night (snakes best time) is sort of weird. Maybe the initial vote favoured snake even more then I realized.

43% or so looks within reach for squall assuming he gains in percentage during the day vote (I'll say that since some people don't like when "take the day vote" isn't meant literally >_>), and if he didn't gain during the day that would be quite the wtf moment we'd have.

Just out of curiosity sake, what is squall projected to get on snake using last years xstats anyways? Unadjusted of course. If anyone knows I'd appreciate an answer... I'm too lazy to figure out the math behind it. >_>

Doesn't matter if it's adjusted or unadjusted.

Snake (2005c) VS Squall (2005c)

Snake has a strength of 36.97.
Squall has a strength of 35.16.

Snake wins with 52.45% of the vote!
A win of 4,608 with 94,130 total votes cast.

I know some people here make their own adjustments to the xstats, and figured some probably dropped down the devil division, so I was just covering for that.

47.55%.

Assuming Squall finishes at 43%, based on a constant Snake that would put him at Magus 2k5's level.
