~*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.

Sweet update.

Wesker > Ken

This would still be under 100 if it wasn't for the obvious stuffing the one update.

Hopefully it doesn't ruin a great finish!

There's a few people who usually do it.

That's the last thing we want. Forget about getting a perfect bracket man, not happening. Epic matches are better.

You know, I'm surprised this hasn't happened yet. But then again, I don't recall there being much competition on getting the stats topic's first post last contest too.

Man, I'm ugly. -Dark_Spiral

Nah, if Wesker breaks the 100 barrier again, things can get dangerous. Ken needs a good cushion now and Wesker can spend the rest of the match trying to come back, imo

I just woke back up. Why is Ken winning? =[

IT'S A 150 KEN VOTE LEAD
HE'S BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT ALL HIS LIFE, IT'S HIS DESTINY

WRONG WAY, KEN

Not Wylvane

Man, Ken likes to showboat, doesn't he? He's letting Wesker flirt with going past 150 before beating him back.

You know why this isn't over? A lack of confidence on both sides.

I havent't seen anyone say they BELIEVE! in Ken OR Wesker
