~*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.

There's really no one more fitting to make stat topics today. I'm not doing it (laptop = posting as little as possible, it's typing neutered), so knock yourself out.

Laugh at me all you want if Missingno wins. Gotta go down with Crono here if he loses- my fate on Gamefaqs will be tied to his.

Can anyone go to the serebii forums and start rallying for Missingno please? I'd go there, but that website is really, really slow for me...For some reason.

Crono continues on!

Cut of 33!

Rallying isn't against the rules, is it?

Hell yes Crono!

I don't mind the NN being broken, I just want it to not be Crono that does it in 1 on 1's.

crono is a piece of crap character who has done nothing in 15 years, we all know he deserves to be the one to break the n9

Nominate Red XIII for the Character Battle VII!
He's the Lion with a fire tail from Final Fantasy VII.

Yeah, that's pretty much a given at least point. Ah well, it was fun while it lasted.

You wouldn't be moderated for trying to run a rally on GameFAQs, nor is it against the rules of the contest. Vote stuffing is against the rules, but not rallying. CJayC has stated this himself before.

The only time that a rally could be moderated on GameFAQs is if you tried to run a rally on a game board, where it would be considered Off-Topic. As far as rallying on other forums, it could be moderated for advertising another website.

Hurry up and take the lead already, Crono!

Christ, it's like Vincent v. Crono 2008 all over again.

Which bodes exceptionally well for Crono!

If Missingno. can hold on to win, great. If not, I hope that Crono won't destroy my bracket in the second round by losing to Yoshi.

Except people will actually bother rallying for Missingno at the end if it's that close. We've never seen Frog or Crono pull off their vote stuffing at the end against a joke character.

Megaman would be doing about the same as Crono
