~*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, Missingno 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.

Street Fighter is 0-4 with the board vote this year. Couple that with Dante's brackets, and I still think Ryu has a good shot. I just hope he survives this hour so the Californians can get here!

Everyone with a score of 25 or less got the match wrong.

This match was pretty normal. The Top 5 tiers all went perfect.

No one fell off the Top 50.

Nice votals. Of course, it's to be expected between Capcom's big juggernauts.

Not Wylvane

This match reminds me of Dante VS Vincent. Dante wins the first 5 minutes, then dies.

I'm satisfied (though not thrilled) with Ryu down 36 at the freeze. I think that, much like Akuma's match, Ryu's going to have some trouble in the first hour as Europe exerts an undue influence that will wane as the match progresses.
