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

I almost did, but I always wanted another Tanner, even if it's someone I actually like.

Thus, I voted Link so he'd have one insane lead.

Who cares about agent J? Link is gonna break friggin 70%. I know he didn't have any stiff competion but still, those are insane numbers for any 4-packs.

Bidoof wouldn't be this far ahead from the work of simple vote stuffing. Miles is just weaker. In this type of format it's hard to make a comeback, doubly so with Link present. Edgeworth is practically getting choked out. Or is that Agent J rather?

when you think about it maybe it's the fact that edgeworth doesn't appear as much in PW2 that's hurting him.
on the other hand he's on the front cover of that game.

It is obvious then that people only voted Phoenix Wright due to the fad, especially the mrdictionary's OBJECTION thing. Most wouldn't know who Miles is if they haven't played any PW game up to the second case.

Just like yesterday confirmed Edge > Bidoof, right? TINGLE WILL PROTECT THIS HOOOOOUSE.

EC with the logic. characters aren't tied at the hip here. I do think Mudkip wins that, but who knows? everyone here proclaimed Edgeworth a lock yesterday, and uh.. yeah.

Awww yeah Bidoof, carrying the torch for BT's return to the top.

Assuming Zelda can pull it off tomorrow =(

Speaking of tomorrow, anyone think Tails will be way ahead of The Boss there? He definitely stands out, and if MGS/FF7 SFF is to be believed, The Boss will be in for a world of pain.

Why would MGS/FF7 SFF apply to a character who wasn't even in MGS? There hasn't been any reason to believe that it applies to characters from the later games.

Well, Bidoof is hanging on. And I'm confident on Vincent > Zelda, so I feel I'll get those points.

I do regret not having taken Raiden and HK-47 for the rest of the division, though...

lol not realizing Cloud wins in this format.


Look at last year


Cloud: 35%
Link: 45%
Snake: 20%



What happens now when Sonic is thrown into the picture. He's definitley not going to take away any Cloud support and maybe 2-3% Snake support.

Cloud: 35%
Link: 45%
Snake: 17%
Sonic: 3%


Now let's see... it would be good to assume that Sonic gets around 15%.... All of the expense of Link.


Cloud: 35%
Link: 33%
Snake: 17%
Sonic: 15%


Voila. Cloud victory

Oh my bad! Cloud generously donates .87% while Link loses 12% and Snake is entirely untouched! Your theory makes perfect sense!

When did Sonic gain the ability to SFF Link?

Sonic/Nintendo matches have been rare. And we've never seen a Sonic/Zelda match. But we have seen two Sonic/Nintendo matches and they were beyond messed up.


Mario/Shadow
Super Mario World/Sonic 2.


This is proof that something funny will happen with Sonic and Link. We've seen Sonic fight FF and Metal Gear all the time and nothing strange like this ever happened
