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

Frog, take a bow. <applauds>

God I love Frog. Frog's Theme on repeat since 10:25 CST? Hell yeah.

Agreed. His theme is just too damn good.


On this new match, looks like Midna is disappointing like I and some others expected. Too bad I didn't pick Scorpion like I wanted to.

150 vote at the freeze... and the Power Hour character is down? After the first 3 days I don't want to say anything, but things look really good for Scorpion right now, and I'm angry. :(

At the least, I'm liking the fact I went with Scorpion in round 3 over Midna, although she's not out of the running for first yet or anything.

I didn't think I'd be saying this, but I am sure glad I have Frog in Round 3.

Or maybe Scorpion wants to relive 2002.

To those people saying people shouldn't be calling matches after what we just witness in the last hour, well, we've been around a lot longer than that...I do agree people often jump to conclusions too much after 5 minutes, but that's usually because known trends contradict those conclusions.

In this case, known trends are what support them. Midna is not looking good to finish 1st here. She could come back, but Scorpion is looking pretty right now.

lol bad trolling

I'm actually getting a bad vibe of Kratos A. > Midna than Midna putting any fear into Scorpion here.

...not that Kratos Aurion doesn't kick Midna's ass seven ways 'till Sunday, but yeah.

argh, I almost went to Scorpion > Midna, but resisted. oh well, at least my round 3 looks good. Frog needed a miracle and a few dozen rallyers to beat freaking Axel. Scorpion will be the heavy favourite if he holds on here, because Midna's not going to do any better with Samus in the poll.

Like I said somewhere else, it was massive amounts of rallying that put Frog through. I have a topic on LL with 76 responses, somebody made one on the Chrono Compendium, and a friend of mine got his WoW guild to vote for Frog. Never underestimate the hardcore character's ability to last minute rally

I definitely see Kratos A. > Midna happening more easily than Midna > Scorp at this point, despite the vote leads each have on each other. This is absolutely awful for Midna during the power hour... the lead is only going to balloon as the night goes on.

My main qualm with Midna is that she's never had anything approaching an appealing design, but Zeldafear is what made me give her the nod here.

But you could never know, this could just be some power from Scorpion here or the nature of four-way battles. Scorps looks pretty badass at any rate...
