Good ol' Switzerland, neutral as always.


That is too funny.

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.

honestly I enjoyed the hell out of Mario's shenanigans and was on the fun side of Crono/Vincent, but I also got decimated by Snake a few times.

It's all good, I spose. I'm just happy this contest has given us a match where we can all act like 15 year olds again.

Everyone knows Missingno is cheating at this point, but there's kind of a live and let live thing about it. People are gonna take a win any way they can get, legitimacy has always been pretty 'eh' on the list of concerns.

Also I'd like to see if Tidus can make this closer, but Missingno probably makes this close to, what... 80 vote lead I'd guess? That seems like an okay guess.

I mean, I get that we're starved for action here but there is absolutely nothing exciting about this. This is exactly what everyone thought would happen. Joke cheats to win in the final 20 minutes. This would be a lot more entertaining if this was an actual comeback.
