~*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.

If Dead Rising wins by less than 100 votes I will credit it to the Shaun of the Dead Factor making the UK like Dead Rising.

TWEWY making small ass cuts, don't see it building up to enough for the morning vote.

I'm in absolute disbelief at the amount of close matches we've had this contest. 8 years and this contest will probably end up having more close matches than all the other contests put together. 12hr format ftw

And we're not even done with the 1st round yet!!

see that 9 vote cut? that was Europe there, folks.
---
xyzzy

Considering how much DR is winning the UK, I think DR will constantly be gaining percentage in Europe and could actually end up winning Europe.
You know, since UK's influence on Europe keeps rising as the match goes on, what with being an hour later than the mainland Europe.
We saw the same phenomenon in P3/Civ 4, where P3 started at 60% in Europe, but by the end, the European percentage was lower than the the world average.

You know, we're seeing a lot of consistent TWEWY cuts followed by a big Dead Rising update. George Romero, at it again!

Argh, they're still going at it? I like it better when close matches happen in the day so I can actually get to see them.

I know I should give up given the 40 vote lead but...

UNTIL THE TIME IS UP

Dead Rising up 40. I'm expecting a cut on the next update. Can't let Dead Rising get a comfortable lead.

Hey. Turns out Albion is right. It's 3 AM and Europe is now voting.
Too bad it's Dead Rising that's pulling away. ;)

TWEWY still has the leading percentage in europe, there's been no voting surge yet, TWEWY's votals have been falling off some more.

Are you freaking KIDDING me???

TWEWY just lost about 0.7% in Europe, placing it less than 1% from a 50-50 split. This match goes to Dead Rising, and I lose over 21k battle points.

I'm going to stay up a bit longer to keep an eye on the poll, but this is the point where I'm unofficially calling the match over.

This is why I picked DR in my bracket.

So good.

So glad that I banked. I would have been LIVID.

This match is a hyper close one, just as expected. Everyone who banked on this match with a considerable streak deserves a pat on the bank. You absolutely chose the right time. As for the rest of us, who really need to get a big streak going, we needed to go with our guts. My gut said Dead Rising, and I'm on edge. This could be the new TF2/Fable.....

Wouldn't it be just a ****ing trip if TWEWY won the morning vote now? hahaha

I have DR in my bracket, tbh. I'd rather lose the bracket pick to get my battle pick right.

So would I. I think my banked position is much better than yours is at the present, though.

My gut also said DR and I'm glad I stuck with it, although the morning vote worries me.

I use bear arms in ALL of my decorating.

I was considering banking on SoA/BG2, but if TWEWY blows this match, it won't matter.

I have a question...

For those of you concerned about the morning vote, why would you consider TWEWY to take that vote when North America is already leaning DR via the night vote?
---

Whoops, sorry for the double post. I thought I stopped the first one, but whatever, it's only a slight wording change for the first sentence.

I changed from DR to bank. So I'm starting to regret it a little bit.
Oh well.
