~*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 won't even be happy if GTA wins now. Golden Sun winning for any significant period of time is bad enough.

From: fyrael | #476
GameFAQs might not be necessarily racist but rather just hate the whole gangsta thing.

Yeah, there's a giant difference between being racist and believing that the whole gansta/thug/playa BS is easily the worst culture in this country (followed by redneck America, so that completely throws out the whole racism angle).

If you really think that San Andreas is glorifying that culture, you've never played it.

**GTAIII SERIES SPOILERS**

Almost all of the organized crime characters (Mafia, Yakuza, black gangs, everything) in the GTA series are good characters, but they're all antagonists who meet their downfall because of the lifestyle.

Whether the protagonist is a whirlwind of chaos like Claude, a power-hungry magnate like Tommy, or a good soul caught up in a hailstorm of corruption like CJ, in the end all the gangsters go down.

Thank you, Eddie Guerrero.

UK has over 60% for GTA. Wonder if that's a culture thing or because it's later in the day (i.e. the ASV factor)?

Because it probably is. The geolocation trends are trending heavily towards Golden Sun winning the ASV.

Indeed, people always do. The ASV has yet to come, and we wont know which will get it.

Trust me, we don't really care about that. Not for about 10 years now, since Lara Croft stopped mattering.

Theres a reason why stuff like Monkey Island and Ubisoft stuff do so well in Europe.



And also, 2 straight cuts! C'mon GTA

Europe was always going to favour GTA.Unless it's a top name RPG it's either not released in Europe or unknown.

Hau hauu, omochi kaeri!

If GS seriously tanks this right after I called it over, I'm gonna cheer for Melee so hard on its matchup with Brawl. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Tiny cut, please start gaining again Golden Sun please.

Ugh, all my country's fault. At least it being a day match it should subside later in the match.

The next two hours were (by far) GTA's best during the RSE/GTAIV match. If it can't make a move with them, it's over.

I predict and analyse the Game of the Decade contest here:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/56817040

Two straight cuts for GTA.

I hope it can come back and win obviously, but every minute GS leads is more shame for this site.

See you around, like a donut, Golden Sun.

Golden Sun with a pretty big update there. Overwrote the GTA cuts plus a bit more.

This is what I pretty much expect from here on out. GTA with little cuts that will ultimately do nothing.

I wanted Golden Sun to win for my bracket, but now I just want it to win because I enjoy being on the opposite side of delicious fanboy tears. This is too funny.

Think about the tears GS fanboys are going to shed once their dream come true is shattered by GTA!
