~*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.

Augh why does the pause virus hit Terra too?

Terra going to rock some lightsabers

(I have Revan in my bracket with no confidence who is this guy even !)

---
wheresoever you go, go with all your heart

You know, the Fodder Line info seems off to me. At this point, someone with a 15% X-stat value would be absolute fodder. Most fodder that is not like Jade or Tanner seems to hover around 18%.

Placeholder anti-capslock sig.

This is kind of similar to Sackboy/Kratos-We have a character who has a fairly well-establish if not spectacular contest reputation against a character who is for all purposes new and could be spectacular or drop a bomb. There may have been a Dissidia boost, but the truth is Darth Revan controls the outcome of this match-he could potentially be anywhere from Zero level to Isaac level. We'll know in a few hours.
