~*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? Common Stats 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. This is the best example of SFF we've ever seen. However take some SFF labels with a grain of salt, as many people will slap it onto any match that doesn't make perfect sense.

Extrapolated Standings - The mathematical "strength" of a contestant that's determined based on their performance relative to the rest of the field. This number is typically based on the contest entrant's loss, but adjustments are sometimes made. See above for a watered down explanation for how the stats are calculated.

Noble Nine - Link, Cloud, Solid Snake, Sephiroth, Mario, Crono, Sonic, Samus and Mega Man.

"I remember a time when someone called World of Warcraft 'World of WoW'"

This contest is determined to screw me over every time I take a risk with my battle points. Come on Warcraft, even though I really couldn't care about either game. Lacks the fun of TF2/Fable in that TF2's awesome and Fable's terrible, so I have much more reason to root.

Chex Warrior (Chex Quest) for CB2011

It looks like Morrowind might be slowing down. Three updates in a row it's dipped under 200 votes for the update.

And no joke, peak hours for Blizzard (especially Dota) are from around 8-midnight EST. I can't possibly imagine WC3 losing this if it's close, plus Albion's always around to rally the WoW forums if need be!

Don't try to glean anything from this match. It feels like TF2/Fable all over again.

I don't really think WoW players really care very much about WC3.

Close yet again but not quite good enough. We were just two brackets away from the perfects going perfect. The prediction percetanges are pretty high be considering this is SSBM vs GH2, they were lower than I expected. We also lost two zero brackets on this match.

No one fell off the Top 50 this time.

Dr_Football punted my bracket across the field.
Congrats to Dr_Football for winning the Character Battle 8 Guru Contest!

It won't be that close. Warcaft to sail through and win by about 500 votes. At least i hope so, haven't banked since Sunshine/Halo 3

Greyfeld, Albion, Justin: DO YOUR THINGS

lol if you plan on anybody rallying for WC3 properly, bank on Albion, because I'm pretty much out of ideas. I have a thread going in the battlenet WC3 boards, but it only has 11 hits so far. I'm guessing it'll pick up as the day goes on, but for this time of day, I'm pretty much stuck with watching the poll.

c'mon WC, don't make me regret going against my bracket for the Oracle

Putting a link onto high traffic Battlenet servers peridocally is a much better way to rally.

sort this out warcraft you moron.

Was Morrowind good with the ASV in the contest it was in? I wouldn't think it would be anywhere near as good with the ASV as Oblivion.

But is by a hookshot.

Yet is not by a clawshot. Double or Single.

TP sucks.

Anyway I live in UK so what time is it in America? ASV is 3pm correct? well America has different time zones...when does ASV kick in?
---
http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l271/Mithos_2006/Ayaneff13.png

wow. 1 vote.

Morrowind lead by 1 point.

Epic epic epic

ASV start!

Eastern ASV should be kicking in within the next half hour (Currently 230 PM on the east coast, 1130 on the west coast)

ASV, favour WC.

Nyuu~

Keep it up, MW.

"Ike and Ash and co. saw a Yoshi and didn't catch it" - Mer telling us his dream

WC3 is molesting Morrowind in CA which does not inspire great confidence in Morrowind once the second wave of the ASV hits.

damn the censorship of the R word.

Hau hauu, omochi kaeri!

This contest has been ridiculous in spitting out close matches - long may it continue!

I predict and analyse the Game of the Decade contest here:

What's the largest lead been this match? I haven't seen either game break the 200 vote barrier.

"No reason. There would have been cookies though."

Morrowind wins

110 by WC3.

._.

how long till the expected WC surge?
---
Hau hauu, omochi kaeri!

Well, early ASV looks to favor WC a bit. Late ASV should definately favor WC due to California.

So, guys.... how are you feeling about Brawl vs. Melee? Lately I've been feeling that Melee's going to win this.... I mean, look at the leaderboard. All the Smash picks are Melee.

---
"Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. So...what is a party?"
"Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think."

Well, 4 straight cuts for Warcraft. Think we can call it the one taking the ASV here?
