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

..Close enough to be a trend.


Regardless, its looking like L will actually SPLIT the ASV with Snake...


...Squall is also picking up on SONIC!!!


...This is the match of the century!

Sad thing is, L-Block is doing this against one of the two characters I never like to see lose. Couldn't you have thrown him in the top section of the bracket, Bacon?

I can actually see L-Block hanging with Link for awhile before Link finishes him off late.

As for Cloud or Sephiroth, that'd be a rout from the very start.

I must say, even with this new format, it's nice to see a brand new character to these polls get as far as the final 8.

Boo! Solid Suck!!!


Oh well, L will probably only lose to Snake by less than 1000 votes, which is already a vast improvement from last round.


Next round, L will beat Snake by 5000 votes.

Even if L-Block wins (unless he starts to run with this thing and wins by a couple of thousand), I think Snake goes in as the favorite next round. He can hurt Chief and Dante (Dante especially) way more than Sonic or Squall.

Of course, L-Block isn't taking first until the finals.

slowest comeback ever

that last hour will be rough for L. I wonder who gets the bigger rally at the end should it be close, BRACKETS/Solid ****ing Snake or a Tetris Block?

Doesn't matter if Snake zaps Dante, or Chief zaps Snake or whatever, L-Block will just become MORE POWERFUL!

Right now, he's proving he can use the ASV to stall Snake! Next match, L-Block will finally gain control of the morning, and the perfect war machine will have been created for the Finals!

I was thinking about that last night. At first, I figured Snake, the most universally loved power player in these contests, would have an edge, but after taking a look at the boards, no way. If rallying is going to decide it, L-Block wins.

If L-Block studies hard, he could become a doctor or a laywer.

More likely a stuntman.

It's like the entire stats topic has made a heel turn and hit Snake in the back of the head with a steel chair. But then again my main rooting interest is BRACKETS although I don't particularly like Sonic humiliation either.

32 vote cut.

Lol. L-Block better not choke this. At the same time, Snake has to keep these big cuts going. Chopping off 10 votes and then being stalled/losing votes will only cancel themselves out.

Looking at the updates, I'm *real* glad I wasn't here for the start of this match. Poor Snake... :( At least he's closed the gap (WITH A TETRIS BLOCK), but I'm not sold on his day vote versus L's, even (or especially?) after last round. I guess we're seeing it now, though...

Where is KH. He can motivate Snake into winning by sheer fanboyism...!

uhhh the problem with rallying for snake is that half of the people i talk to are actually pretty damn likely to vote for the block.

hey yo didn't you call every single person you know in order to help frog or something. snake needs you.

While L-Block is being interrogated by Snake, a second L-Block descends from the sky and crushes Snake. This preserving L-Block and crippling Snake until his friend, I-Block is chosen to finish him off.
