~*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.

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

This has to be the most exciting match in a long time. I have had my GFaqs window open since 11:30 this morning, checking it all day between classes and homework. The only way this can get better is if Ken retakes the lead again. Making it the 8th? lead change this match outside the first few minutes.

Ken cut- IN_DE_STRUCTABLE

Yeah that's the way Weskah' my boy.

Anyone know if morning Asian votes might come into play here >.>

Kirby/Rikku should be good simply by virtue of being our first Nintendo/Square match....if it's closer than 55-45 that's a bonus! And if it's actually close.....awesomeness!

Thanks for saying this to jinx Wesker, Ulti :D

People have repeated this over and over for both characters and then suddenly the losing one makes massive pushes to tie the match up and take the lead.

Wesker took the ASV votes, but now with sleeping Europe this match is far from over.

This is a huge match for the 12 hours > 24 hours theory. Ken would have won this easily with the overnight Europe vote.

Ken still plans on losing, he just doesn't want Wesker to get a higher lead than he had.

Asia has 2500 votes. Total. Clearly a chunk of these have already been cast. America is far more important.

I feel dirty saying that.

Are you kidding? Street Fighter gets slaughtered by Europe. That's why their morning vote is so awful.
