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

JonPen1416 | Posted 9/28/2007 9:55:09 PM | message detail
I think Roxas is not nearly as popular as Axel, who himself is a pretty good deal behind Riku in strength. I can't help but feel it will be Rikku/Vaan redux, with Riku following his namesake and looking a bit inflated.

I coined Super Snake last year.

And to those asking about it in the last topic, Snake losing to Samus was a result of his newfound Nintendo power base abandoning him en masse. Good to see Snake easing any doubts I had about him this year. I was starting to think last year may have been a bit of a fluke, but now he's looking pretty much gurenteed to beat Sonic (unless Sonic goes out and gets 60% in his fourpack or something).

BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 9/28/2007 9:58:19 PM | message detail
I have Ryu tomorrow, but I still think it'll be a really close match either way. Roxas is playable in KH2 right? He seems like a more central character than Axel.

Of course I'd expect Riku to destroy Hayabusa 1 on 1, but I think Roxas should do enough damage to let the original ninja get first.

Yes, but Axel is cooler, and he was also in the GBA game, if that's worth anything (probably not...).

Not to mention the fact that many people would like Roxas more if he wasn't playable.

Not very much before I started climbing the Leaderboard last year, but I've been a devout lurker/semi-poster since 2002. I would credit the foundation of my victory last contest to CS&D.

Agent M | Posted 9/28/2007 10:02:17 PM | message detail
Samus is stronger than Mario, except when she faces Mario.

Also she sucks in multi option polls, and people abandon her whenever other Nintendo characters are present. She doesn't seem to have a big hardcore fanbase, but gets full Nintendo support against most anything non-Nintendo.

I think Snake would beat Samus no problem in a 4 way poll honestly.
JonPen1416 | Posted 9/28/2007 10:02:26 PM | message detail
Yes, but Axel is cooler, and he was also in the GBA game, if that's worth anything (probably not...).

I can't help but think (perhaps stupidly) that a decent amount of Axel's popularity actually comes from the GBA game (because he is pretty cool in the GBA game and pretty pointless in KH2).
