~*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

So MGS 2 is stronger than MGS 4,but I thought that the fanbase considers MGS 2 the worst right?Well we shall see how much more strenght MGS 3 has than MGS 4 then in the next match.

SotC overthrowing MGS on the Sony hierarchy?

That's about as crazy as Pokemon overthrowing Zelda on the Nintendo hierarchy!

No way, Pokemon has insane numbers on Zelda

It would be like Metroid beating Zelda

Casuals though make a bracket based on seeds.And SOTC is the 2 seed.I guess the prediction will be around 25%.

25% is pushing it, remember that 8-pack had MGS4, Diablo II, AC and MGS2 to take percent not to mention Eternal Darkness, Banjo-Tooie and The Sims probably have something like 5% between them.

Does UltimaterializerX said something about today's match?Because I have heard that he really hates SOTC and now it has beaten TWO MGS games...

Can't wait until Pokemon/Zelda 60/40 SotC so we can laugh at MGS series

GotD Bracket: 156/172 Today's Matches: MGS3 & MGS4

Agreed. Bracket placement means GSC will probably be out in the semis, but it should finish #2 in X-Stats

Currently playing: Kirby's Epic Yarn

anyway, this is an awesome upset. we freaked out when Magus went down but this is bigger.
---
xyzzy

How shocking is it that my only perfect division to date is the west division. I got MGS3>SotC in my bracket next round; hopefully I don't regret it.

If Ngamer puts Ulti and I on The Show the week SotC beats MGS3, he will have no choice but to talk about it *wink*

(checks poll results)

...sod off, Shadow of the Colossus. :\

Seriously, this is the weirdest result of the contest. It's one thing for SotC to beat MGS4, but it's almost guaranteed to beat it worse than MGS2! Truly bizarre stuff.

I guess Metal Gear is to GotD what Kingdom Hearts was to this year's Character Battle. Talk about embarrassing.

---
Kingdom Hearts + Uncharted 2 = dead bracket.
This contest, man.

Man, SotC would end my perfect Round 3 streak like it ended up perfect Round 2 streak.

So it better win the division finals.
---
No need for words,
Just cast Luminaire and be done with it.

Oh ho, two cuts in a row

the ASV really kicks in in about 15 minutes looking at the KH/KH2 match, I Really think MGS will, if not win, make it really really close.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

Come on MGS4.

I never really realized how annoying this bandwagon BS is until I had a decent bracket. I was very comfortable with my lead on SBAllen...right up until today. I have MGS4 in the finals....*sigh*

"You brought your *****, to the waffle hut?"

SotC still relatively stable for now, looks like. That'll probably change in the next few minutes.

If you're really taking Melee/Brawl comparisons from this match, then be all means, go and bask in the stupidty.

Did I mention that BOTH TIMES it beat Brawl, there was another nintendo game in the poll? No? Well, let me say it.

BOTH TIMES MGS4 beat Brawl, there was another nintendo game (TP and OOT) in the poll. There, now hush.
