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

BOLD PREDICTION: Crono disappoints in his first round match hyping up the Raiden bandwagon, only to have Zero stomp his girlish annoying face in in Round 2.

I'm sure Crono has fallen from last year...

But there's no way in hell he plummets all the way to Zero levels. Crono/Vincent/Ganondorf... maybe even Zelda and Bowser could give Crono a scare. But Zero is in a whole other tier here.

Honestly cannot wait for Cyber-Raiden to own Zero. And I am a huge Zero fan. This is what Turtle influence can do to you.

big magus update there

things will start looking more normal from now on.magus should finish this match above 35%

people are worrying too much about him.

2.) I have yet to see a match in the history of the contests that you think makes your future picks look bad. That kind of "I knew it all along" attitude is Psych 100 stuff, not even 101

I just finished saying how this match looks brutal for Knuckles and Frog advancing.

I stopped paying attention to Magus/Phoenix when Magus took the lead, because I knew then that it was over. I turned my attention to Phoenix/Bomberman. Some updates get me to thinking "Phoenix is slowing down, it's just a matter of time before Bomberman starts gaining", and then the next update sees Phoenix make a gain himself... it's baffling me.

If you didn't already feel bad about Frog and Knuckles to Round 3 you deserve even less credit than I currently give you. Not to mention that your implications and conclusions based on the evidence are, as per usual, ludicrous.

I really don't see Crono as having dropped much, if any, from last year. Last year age started to show, but his decline has always been gradual. He's not the type that just falls off a mountain each year.


...Sadly, the same can't really be said about his companion in arms in these contests. (Re: the Frog and Vegeta)

Even with Vincent/Crono in the mix, Zero would have to hope for MAJOR SFF in order to compete. He's just not strong enough.

Meh, I've given my reasons for taking Zero there enough times that most people here should know them (or are too ignorant to care). What happens happens. My bracket is riding on it. I get it, I win. I don't get it, I lose. It's that simple.

Even with Vincent/Crono in the mix, Zero would have to hope for MAJOR SFF in order to compete.

Don't even seriously argue this match. We all know, for a fact, which two are advancing.

Here's a hint: Zero isn't one of them!
