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

Mostly because it's just irking me right now.

I mean yeah, it's easy to pull out a Marcus Fenix or Master Chief match and show that it's clearly very different, I suppose. Mostly I just want support that Ness wouldn't have necessarily taken the ASV if they had one in his match, since Ike's trends are very like Ness's.

I think the real argument I'm reaching for is that the weekend has a day vote and it's not just "all condensed into the morning." I guess I should just wait till Marcus's/Chief's match this next round, as they both happen on a Saturday.

If Ike had held the lead to under 2000 he might be in this. As it is this match is all but over, for everyone.

Well, Ike is taking off, and Gordon and Duke are still pretty much split.

Yeah, I think it's over. Ike's going to get close, but fall short in the end.

I'm not sure I understand why Duke was the upset pick, given how recognizable he is.

if Freeman loses after he built a 2100 vote lead against a guy without a game, I'm going to laugh. it will be the best Freeman-ism yet.

Sadly, it looks like the distance is just too far for Ike.

But next year, with FE10 an Brawl, he'll be a deadly force.

This match is annoying the hell out of me. Every time Freeman mounts any sort of comeback of decent sized cuts in a row, Duke just decimates him with one and then pads his lead a little more.

darn you balls of steel

hmm, 261 votes that hour. Ike's going to need to go faster than that in order to catch Freeman. fortunately for him, the two strongest hours of the afterschool vote are coming up, but he probably needs to be nearly even with him by 9pm to have a chance here, and I doubt he's going to double his pace.

So if Ike can keep cutting Gordon by 20 something votes per update, he'll reach him by the very end. It's a small possibility, but it could happen.
