~*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.

Can we get Kazooie in instead next time?
She's much funnier than Banjo, and while I haven't played Banjo Tooie, pretty much all the special moves in the first game revolved around her. Banjo was just her transportation!

I think Amaterasu is a bigger threat than Missingno at this point, even if Tidus loses.

Man, if Missingno. is even a fraction of his 2010 strength Tidus got the royal screwjob once again with this bracket.

If Tidus can keep this under 600 votes before the true night vote begins, he has comeback potential. That's how many votes Alucard swung against Captain Falcon.

Tidus can't take many more updates like that, he's on the cusp of not being able to come back realistically as it is.
