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

If Crono somehow managed to win this, it would be the biggest embarassment ever for Sonic.

At any rate, great showing from Sonic. If he does win, that means every noble-niner has won at least one match against another NNer. Kudos to the Blue Blur.

Well, I'll be looking forward to Snake/Samus in the finals. Which I honestly think Snake is primed to take.

If Snake were to beat Sonic with similar to what he beat Mega Man...just how much of a boost would that be?

Snake pretty much boosts up to Mario's level if that's the case (assuming a constant MM and Sonic).

That would imply a constant MM, which would imply that he's on 43 on BL (dead even with Mario). Oh, and that means Snake boosted six points.

For those talking about the favorites status for the male finals, we have a decent point of reference...

If Sonic and Snake are equal, Yoshi beats Luigi with 53.54%, and in 2004, Yoshi won with 54.48%. By the way, if Sonic and Crono go close to 50/50, Bowser gets 53.23% on Luigi.

Basically, if Snake wins, Yoshi > Bowser, but they're looking to be pretty much equal either way.

ChichiriMuyo | Posted 11/10/2006 12:42:17 PM | message detail
Seems like a bit too much of a boost for Snake. Also, those of you insisting that Sonic is going to win this one should be careful. There's really no telling here.

From here to midnight Eastern, Sonic lost 0.07% against Vincent.
From here to midnight Eastern, Crono lost 0.21% against Vincent.

Crono currently has 50.22%. One projection at least still shows Crono can win! And, Vincent actually came back 300 votes against Sonic in the last 2 and a half hours. The second night vote may not quite be nonexistent.

Well, at least I can get SOME satisfaction out of this contest if Sonic finishes off Crono. With Bowser and Zero not performing up to snuff, and Knuckles AWOL, Sonic was my last character to cling on to on the male side. On the flip side, Samus >= Tifa and Zelda beating the snot out of Aeris is everything I could have hoped for!

I'm with Chich on this one... this match isn't even close to over yet. Should Sonic be the favorite? Hell yeah. But Sonic only has another 3 hours of the after school vote to fall back on. After that Crono might be able to get his ass back into gear.

I have him losing in the finals, meaning he'll lose to Snake, if my Sonic Bracket Curse holds to form.

And to think, I originally had him losing here to Crono! That means he would've had to find a way to lose to Luigi!
