~*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.

Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created.

From: LeonhartFour | #005
Oh boy, can't wait for the reactions in this here topic.

One of the following will occur:
1) Missingno leads for over 20+ minutes, ExTha keep singing "One Winged Angel" lyrics to rally up Seph, red sox cheers Missingno on and writes more great fanfic, half the topic declares the death of the contest/joke characters, Ulti is in extreme troll mode.

2) Sephiroth totally owns Missingno, everyone is disappointed, ExTha is really annoying, everyone tries to ignore him, red sox is upset and writes disapointing fanfic, half the topic declares the death of fun in the contest, Ulti is in extreme troll mode.

ExTha won't be the only one abusing One Winged Angel lyrics tonight. That song fits Missingno perfectly. Besides, Sephiroth's Theme > One Winged Angel

"I beat him, and he says lightyears measure distance, not time. ..Dammit, Brock is on another planet." - SEP

Awesome stat time: MissingNo.'s sixth update against Crono was his highest of the match not counting the board vote and leftover board vote (i.e. first 10 minutes).

Sephiroth's Theme > One Winged Angel

this is actually true. sephy's theme is pretty creepy.
---
Ah, you know it's funny, these people, they go to sleep. They think everything's fine, everything's good... They wake up the next day and they're on fire.

Sephiroth is slowing Missingno down, but that's about it.

You nailed it on the head.

Well everyone, even if Missingno doesn't win tonight, it's accomplished its purpose. Crono will end high enough in the xstats barring bad Cloud/Sephiroth SFF to satisfy me.

Anyway, I'm going to finish this chapter in FF13 since this will probably be a bit tedious to watch for awhile.

I think the best Sephiroth can expect to do for the first hour or so is stall, so that works out okay for him. He can erase 300 votes overnight easily if the night vote favors him.
---

2 updates won by just over 10 votes.

Missingno gets a 13 vote gain next time.

MissingNo.'s percentage is dropping like a rock in North America, which could be very bad. He's actually rising a lot in Oceania, which brings in a lot of votes (especially in a night match), so that might help him stall.
And Lucid, I feel obligated. O-H

One-Winged Angel seemed cooler when I was younger, but it's become my second-least-favorite battle theme from FF7. Birth of a God is much better, imho.

Well, that will keep Missingno running strong until about 3:00 AM.

Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ!

Missingno seriously needs to start getting some spikes to pad that lead before the night vote. 450 or whatever he'll have at the end of the power hour isn't enough.

Missingno narrowly wins another update. Insane votals.

Every man lives. Not every man truly dies.

I hope you have a plan to stall all night long, Missingno, because these paltry gains aren't going to give you much of a buffer against the storm when it comes.

When does the FF7 night vote normally kick in? Isn't it usually about now?

I am the dragon of blood, a relentless prince of pain
Renouncing God on his throne, my blood is forever stained.

4chan is actually actively backing Missingno right now, something I never saw them doing beforehand. Missingno has all the factors in its favor to somehow stall this out until the morning vote.

Demyx is better than Axel.

which part of 4chan cares?

LUElinks is also rallying for Missingno.

FFVII gradually gains in power until 4 AM. At that time it kicks into hyperdrive and kills everything.

Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!!
Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 4: Luigi

All important chart!

Time | Auron | Squall | Votes
0:05 | 48.75% | 51.25% | 843
1:00 | 48.30% | 51.70% | 7812
2:00 | 48.20% | 51.80% | 6807
3:00 | 48.54% | 51.46% | 6255
4:00 | 49.32% | 50.68% | 6561
5:00 | 48.18% | 51.82% | 6446
6:00 | 47.40% | 52.60% | 6042
7:00 | 49.05% | 50.95% | 5878
8:00 | 47.96% | 52.04% | 5167
9:00 | 47.60% | 52.40% | 4664
10:00 | 47.36% | 52.64% | 4244
11:00 | 47.29% | 52.71% | 3893
12:00 | 48.28% | 51.72% | 3401

Auron does his best work pre-ASV for the most part but never wins an hour. Squall really takes over during the second half of the match, 52%+ for all but two of the hours there.

FFVII goes up almost constantly post-freeze, but it doesn't really start destroying things until about 3-4 A.M.
