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

At least Luigi's performance is looking better. I mean, if Mudkip is indeed a stronger Bidoof, then it has to.

MegatokyoEd | Posted 10/10/2007 9:29:42 PM | message detail
Even though Bidoof is obviously going to lose this... I think this really signifies bad things for Luigi. Mudkip was not Bidoof in his poll. He actually semi won the day-vote over Luigi.

Tarrot | Posted 10/10/2007 9:29:43 PM | message detail
I don't know what's better, the fact that Doof's leading against Vincent, and that his lead is consistently increasing, or the fact that Doof's performance against Vincent and Zelda is beating out what he did against Agent J and Miles Edgeworth.

I really want to see the X-stats on this when its up.

By the way, one thing I would say is that the joke is a lot more obvious when it's up against 3 legit characters instead of one and a couple of other "jokes". I mean look at that pic, one of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong. But yeah I'm looking mighty hard at you, 4chan. I mean that figuratively, no way in hell I go near that place.

Reposting...

This is the most absurd result of the entire contest. This is not Phoenix Wright leading on a weakened Magus. This is BIDOOF leading on Vincent ****ing Valentine.

It is pretty absurd, because Vincent will probably end up looking just fine when this is done.


Sure it will, but let's have our fun, creativename, let's have our fun.

Watching Bidoof collapse overnight, now that should be funny :) Still, Bidoof should end way above the 9-13% everyone seemed to be predicting him at.


Yes, but still, it hurts us!!

Since I've never played a Pokemon game I guess I don't hate Bidoof like others here seem to. He's neutral to me. Pikachu maybe beating out Vivi, now that hurts me.

Actually, this poll has less votes than usual, so I think stuffing is out of the question and this is legit. Bidoof just has a lot of fans.

I had Pikachu advancing there and I thought the best Pikachu would do in that match was come close to Tidus.

Vincent currently has 36% one on one against Link. Not bad I guess. With Zelda in the poll I'd expect him to do a bit better, but I think Link probably has the better early vote as well. So Vincent should go up a bit.
red sox 777 | Posted 10/10/2007 9:35:18 PM | message detail
This match ought to be getting a lot of votes though, as we have the two strongest forces in the contest present (Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy VII).
