~*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.

The Fodder Line - A final X-Stat value of 15% or below.

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

Also, ninjas.

The top perfomers got murdered on this match. Well not the perfect. Dr. Football lives through another tough match. The -1s got slaughted on this match with only 5 surviving. As you go down, the prediction percentage actually improves. It's not until the -13s that 50% is broken, though.

21 people fell off the Top 50 today. dragoncrazer, DynamicRobbie, JJH777, Grand_Healer, Danyeahl, Billy_Gates, SenorCactaur, UnseenShadow9s, Purist, Black_Tuesday, L4zythe2nd, GreatSvenster, bwlfro5, Popcornball, alleniversonms, Enteril, Yar_I_A_Pirate, DoctorBIind, The_Doom_Dealer, nipukka and EndOfDiscOne did not have Sub-Zero beating Tidus.

12 got the match wrong but survived. Former second place t33kay, sonicgamer262, vpHigherlove, Ninja4820, l33tcpu, Mithos17, Soul_Reaver4, DankaBlack, FireLaserBeam, mdgilb06, lolo262626 and Rainerrria also did not have Sub-Zero beating Tidus.

Europe contributes much more votes than Asia. Phoenix is dominating there. N/A there are about 50/50, slight edge to phoenix. This could be good.

Phoenix is stronger than FFX in Europe, from what I see.

Jecht isn't like other Final Fantasy characters. Let's see....Tidus won in Europe yesterday. Well if they like Tidus, they must not like Jecht!
