~*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.

This was a triumph.

Master Chef would probably beat Master Chief at this point !

KrahenProphet lived up to his name.

^They would tie at 50% at the end of the match.

After seeing Zero I got more confident about this match.

Where's Ryu H getting all of this from? This should've been a lock--it's XBox vs. XBox, and Master Chief is pretty much the XBox character.

CB8 score: 77
Incorrect picks: Ocelot, Wesker, Fawful, Tidus (2 rounds), Phoenix (2 rounds), Simon, Kratos Aurion, Crono, Soap MacTavish

MC 2k10 > MC 2k6... sure, these are things I can believe. But remember that Hayabusa is doing this in the middle of the day. Imagine what he would be at right now if he'd had the entire FNV to work with. Subby's not a lock over him, though I still hold to what I say about him being worth more on Chief than 2k6 gives credit for.

Pretty weak votals. Not Laharl/Neku bad, but not nearly as good as, say, Zidane/Ike.

Okay, time for me to say it.

I wish I had listened to the stats topic on this one. =(

Master Chief's best non-fluke win in the last 5 years was failing to break 60% on an FFIV side character. It's not unrealistic to think Hayabusa does better than that.

So Crash Bandicoot gets 40% on Chief now?

LOL Chief

"Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!"
"Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!"

So Crash Bandicoot gets 40% on Chief now?

But Cheif got 70% on him 6 years ago! Chief should have this!

This Crash Bandicoot resurgence confuses and enriches me.

2004 Chief > 2010 Chief

****ing hell, Chief.

Ryu H is actually split between all three of the big three though. There's the old NES games, the XBOX games, and the Sigma games on the PS3.

So uh...I was joking before, but...

Cecil vs. Chief in a night match, does Chief even compete?

Chief needs to step up and block Ryu's percentage gains here.

So, has Crash decided to stop being a loser and started being a beast, or what? Does this mean Crash can give Nightmare a match, now? does this mean he beats both Bomberman and Phoenix, now? Does this mean he can beat KOS-MOS?

75/86 points - The Great GameFAQs Character Battle VIII
NP: Mega Man > Zack Fair | Ryu Hayabusa > Master Chief

So, just to press the point a bit, what would Ryu H need to end this at for you to give him a shot at Subby?

It could mean everyone in this fourpack is just horribly, horribly bad and Mega Man will end up tripling Ryu H.
---
Not Wylvane

No it just means Chief sucks. I'd take Sub-Zero > Ryu H in a heartbeat.

Crash still sucks.

---
75/86 points - The Great GameFAQs Character Battle VIII
NP: Mega Man > Zack Fair | Ryu Hayabusa > Master Chief

Yeah, I'm not sure why people think Hayabusa couldn't beat Sub-Zero. I wouldn't have much problem taking him to win that one, though it'd be a close match.

wheresoever you go, go with all your heart

So how about that Xbox hierarchy guys?

My account closure is pending. Shush now.

Aw yeah, Hayabusa! Get Crash up to 45% on Chief!
---
"So cold. I am always by your side."
"There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!"

This is fairly brutal. Best character is winning, just wish I'd called this in the oracle.

Where's Ryu H getting all of this from? This should've been a lock--it's XBox vs. XBox, and Master Chief is pretty much the XBox character.

See, logic like this is getting slam-dunked upon right now.

I just happened to read last topic by chance, and somebody said that it's me who had chosen Toadette for the guru nomination.
That's bloody wrong, I would never do such a horrible thing in my life.
I have chosen Wario, which was a lame choice anyway now that we look at it, I wish I had chosen myself after seeing Zack doing quite good.
But I didn't choose Toadette, jeez.
And go Ryu!

I still think Subby > Hayabusa, but Hayabusa beat Zero, so why couldn't he beat SUB-Zero LOLOLO

Did people actually pick Master Chief? He bombs at the slightest sign of a resistance.
