~*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.

"I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now."

Expecting characters to dominate certain regions based on the results now is a little misleading.

I mean the reason the West Coast might be overwhelmingly Charizard is because the ASV hasn't come close to being hit yet.

Just sayin. In Ken vs Wesker I don't believe Ken totally rocked Wesker during the late parts of the ASV and I think he was winning California like 60-40 at this time.

No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

So I made some more sprite round pictures. You like?

Hey thats not true! Delaware has uh...that river that George Washington crossed. So yeah!

Better than being stereotyped as conservative Christian rednecks!

Bit of a problem with those pics: it's supposed to be 140 wide and 150 tall.

Also, looks like Charizard may win the ASV after all.

"Oh that the world were more like Ulti." -Meeks

Looking at the Sub-Zero pics again -- specifically the first one -- his legs magically disappear thanks to the black logo behind him. I think it may look better if you zoom in on him and get a good shot from his knees up.

Also, are there any good pics of him uppercutting or holding somebody's spine (he did that for a fatality, right?)? It's a solid pic as-is, but it would be good to get one of those two well-known trademarks of MK in the pics as well.

Man, at this rate Charizard could hit 55%. Doubt he keeps this up for the rest of the ASV, but...what an ASV!

"Spoil it for me. I'm never going to play that game so I want to know if he's going to be another Auron or another Sin." - Soul about Jecht vs. PW

Also, Duke was extremely lucky that he didn't draw Charizard in a day match.

---
KrahenProphet lived up to his name.

But as it is, he's still LOL Duke

...So Kratos vs. Zack? Zack got 60% on Duke. It's looking like Kratos is going to end up around the same area.

"Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?"
