~*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.

I have nothing to root for in these contests if CT is no longer an elite game. Well, if Missingno wins the contest or something I guess I'll stay then, because Crono would look pretty good.

Although I still have faith in Crono here. When the Missingno rallying/stuffing/whatever winds down, Crono will advance.

So on a serious note... since Missingno. is managing to take off so quickly (whereas L-Block needed a bandwagon), does it have a chance against Sephiroth?

In a night match, against now bandwagoned-Missingno, with super anti-vote FF7 character?

I don't see why not

This match will be a pretty important match in the history of the Noble Nine. Not only does it mean the Noble Nine loses a match in a 1v1 setting, but it is the first time a Noble Niner loses in the first round.

Dude, if Missingno starts a huge bandwagon, he could crush Sephiroth worse than he is Crono. He could crush Link worse than Crono.

Imagine Crono being #2 in the x-stats. That's worth sticking around, isn't it?

Yeah, someone's stuffing.

It's not necessary that it will... Script voting and "dupe voting" (phony links and such) could keep the pace up more or less indefinitely...

I don't see why not

Missingno might be up 300-400 by the end of the board vote against someone like Seph.

I see us getting our hopes high, then Yoshi just WTF smashing missingno and having crono below magus in the X-stats, all according to Alucard's PLAN.

You know, don't care about this match much, but as a Pokemon fan: People who like Missingno are lame.

Missingno is the best thing about RB. Pokemon fans are lame.

This is the best match this season so far.
Hm...I don't know.

What was better? This, or Ken vs Wes?

Imagine Crono being #2 in the x-stats. That's worth sticking around, isn't it?

That it would. If it comes to that I'll be pretty torn on who to vote for in Link vs. Missingno.

Anti voting and lack of bandwagoning since he already had won.

A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice.

And if Yoshi beats MissingNo, I'm closing my account. There are some things which sound improbably to many which they want to avoid (this match result, for example), then there's supernatural, ******-up, out-of-the-norm stupid events such as Yoshi>MissingNo.

Missingno is going to crush Yoshi if he wins this. Bandwagon will already be forming.
