~*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

~*Say What? Some Common Stat Topic Lingo Defined*~

SFF (Same Fanbase Factor) - Same Fanbase Factor is the theory that, if two contestants share a common fanbase, the weaker of the two options will underperform in a direct matchup. For instance, Link was expected to defeat Ganon with 65% of the vote in 2004, based on their 2003 values. Instead, Link collected near 88% of the vote, because the Zelda fanbase so clearly sided with him. However, take some SFF labels with a grain of salt, as many people will slap it onto any match that doesn't make total sense. This has caused a few SFF jokes, with LordOfDabu's "Some Frivolous Factor" being the funniest of them.

X-Stats - Short form of Extrapolated Statistics, aka the mathematical "strength" of a contestant that can be determined based on their performance in any given matchup. See above for a detailed explanation of the x-stat process.

Noble Nine - Link, Cloud, Sephiroth, Mario, Crono, Solid Snake, Sonic, Samus and Mega Man.

Near-Elite - The Squall, Auron, Tifa, Vincent, Zelda, Kirby, etc group that has come at, near or even ahead of Noble Nine characters in the past.

For other information, surf the contest sites a bit. They have everything.

Crap. Whoever wins this match has earned my respect and will get my vote in round 2.

Who will the winner fight? I don't know. It doesn't matter.

That was in 2006. RE is stronger now, imo.

This is probably true (or Ken is *really* bad now), but being stronger *usually* doesn't alter trends.

We better get a good finish out of this. It'll go down as one of the most epic of all time.. maybe the most epic.

California ASV hits in less then an hour, maybe two at best. But yeah, the boost is coming

Ken hasn't been in since 2003 and has never won a match. Wesker has been in several matches and has won a match


Ken deserves this

5 votes. This is getting insane.

Also, the tie's total votes are 29292. Somehow, I now have "Tunak Tunak Tun" stuck in my head because of this match.

"And the theoretical maximum is 2880 messages, so I was only performing at 45.94% posting efficiency." - Luster Soldier

Ken doesn't desere a win.
---
Contest score: 10/11 Today's picks: Ganondorf & Albert Wesker

And wouldn't it be the DSV favoring Ken in California, which still leaves open the option of the ASV favoring Wesker (or at least favoring Ken less)? Unless the west coast historically really likes SF or something.

I voted for Ken even though my bracket says Wesker.

I'm starting to regret that decision.

How doesn't he? I mean, Dan Hibiki is surely more deserving of his spot, but Ken's a great Street Fighter.

It's one forty five in California right now, most schools I know get out at two, so it's actually probably not far off >_>

Dan Hibiki NEEDS to be in the next tournament. Even if he loses in round 1, it's totally in-character for him and it's fine.

Who said Ken wasn't IN-DEST-RUCTIBLE, huh? Will not go down.
---
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

For sucking this much? Ken is choking in a match that most of the board expected he would win 60-40! Of course he deserves to lose.
---
Contest score: 10/11 Today's picks: Ganondorf & Albert Wesker

...Is that a "Yes?"

That's a yes.

I wish we had trend data for that, though, since Ryu could have conceivably have been dropped there in the ASV and still ended up doing pretty good. If the same thing happens to Ken he could still be in trouble.

Ryu has always been Ken's greatest rival.

I think CA is definitely one of the states friendliest to fight games. That, and Ken just looks like such a surf bum.
