~*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, Vincent, Kirby, Missingno, et al group that has come at, near or even ahead of Noble Nine characters recently.

The Fodder Line - A final X-Stat value of 15% or below.

I still see Cloud>Snake likely, but it will be close and Cloud will have to make a big comeback. It's a 24 hour 1v1 and not a 4way though so I think he will.

None of Sephiroth's music works for this kind of situation, and I REFUSE TO PLAY ONE WINGED ANGEL IN SNAKE'S HONOR.

Don't give up yet, Extha.

172, 110, 107, 52, 19. If that pattern holds, Sephiroth will cut next update!

ExTha, I remember you were crying for like 5 hours when everyone was claiming that missingno would beat seph.

Learn from your mistakes. Seph may not win this but it will certainly come down to under 1000 votes in the end.

This is bringing back bad memories for me. Especially since Snake would screw me over for *second* time but with the Oracle now. He's like stalking me I think.

...but, Snake stalks everybody...that's just what he does.

This match is in no way over.

It has the making to be maybe the best ever, or at least the best since Snake > Seph 06

Time for Snake > Sephiroth BELIEVE!!
http://i42.tinypic.com/4u8gtu.png

We're already 600 votes ahead of Cloud/Ryu, and that puts us on pace for 94,000+ votes today. That'll be a new record for the contest!
