~*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.

In case he's on...out of interest, Luster, do you know how many votes each country typically contributes based on the percentages they show? I've noticed that Finland produces significantly more votes than I'd expect.

I can definitely calculate the vote totals for each country based on the percentages. Were there any specific countries you want me to calculate here?

Yeah... unless some crazy rally goes on, I think Drake's got this. Logic dictates that he should be increasing the gap over the next hours.

For those looking to get into the Pac-Man spirit:

or, for a more modern-day twist

Pac-man reimagined as a first-person horror game (shockingly fun):

http://www.kongregate.com/games/briderider/fps-man

on-topic: I've seen some theories that Steve is hurting Drake more than Pac-Man because both are modern. This is a ridiculous idea. Pac-Man is on the bottom of every hierarchy and is LFF'd by everything, and only goes down as more characters are included in the poll. Look at his performance in the vote-ins for evidence of this effect.

Because he's constantly in scenarios where he's getting beat up and roughed up.

That's the point of the games.

Pac recovers, Drake gains less. Not quite over, yet.

Also, Pac-Man's vote intake stayed at the same level there.

Three's a trend!

This is close enough that whoever wins could lose it in a 1v1 situation.
