I think back to the time when my search first began
I left behind those shores of sand
For the endless, everlasting world out there!

*Extrapolated Standings*

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

actually, they're kinda the same

first contest, a crazy overperformance

everything afterwards, a colossal disappointment

the only difference is that Frog has two less-than-legitimate wins whereas Magus supporters were like "well, crap" against Knuckles

Its funny that if Big Boss flops (as much as I doubt it) it'd pretty much discredited the Picture factor theory, and we'd suddenly have to come up with other reasons for the odd matches of the past.

Not necessiarily, it could just mean the voters are smarter than we think, and notice that when attempting to vote for Snake, they are actually voting for Big Boss. Thus, they change their tune and for a true American hero, Phoenix Wright!

Well, that's just it. If it proves they're smart enough not to be mislead by the picture, then even with looking at a picture of Solid **** just looking at the name Solid Snake in the poll option should be enough for them to figure that out.

The fact that Big Boss only gets like 3 centimeters of space doesn't really help matters. If it was one-on-one getting a Naked Snake picture would mean GG MARIO BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME

Magus gets 50% of the picture so that if he loses there'll be no excuses! (well, aside from the obvious)

And while it may be unsurprising, I'm feeling *really* good in Big Boss. How good? You'll just have to wait and see!

Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package.
