~*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.

Look how starved we were for a contest. Votals in the first minute were very reminiscent of the good old days.

Weird, you can see the vote totals increasing, but the percentages and votes for each character aren't updating along with it.

Few things.

-that is a REALLY impressive results page. No bars is jarring, but the new page is better.

-cool picture layout and ALL THREE ARE MINE B****ES, GET USED TO IT (I think I'm the only one that submitted for like half the characters, truth be told)

-Link getting anti-voted is glorious, Mario sharing the final with him means he can seriously lose to Snake.

I voted for Tingle by accident, meant to vote Isaac.

What i mean is that it says I voted for Tingle but has all 3 votes for Link.

Link has taken it to the next level. Giving the board false hope that he may finally have a weakness, but will then crush it without remorse.
