~*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.

Okay on the topic of this match...

...am I the board's biggest fan of Zero Suit Samus?

(what's more shameful is that the "sex appeal" has nothing to do with it, it's more for her moves in Brawl)

There won't be a rally. L-Block's going to get crushed by Auron too hard to really gather a comeback, and L-Block hasn't had a real rally since 2007 anyway.

Not a bad board vote for the block.

Or maybe it's a terrible board vote and Auron's in big trouble.

24 hour matches for FINAL rounds with elite characters is good. Not for joke early rounds with fodders and midcarders.

I'm hoping that cut before the stall means that L-block's run out of gas.

For reference, this was Altair vs. Lara during the board vote:

25.10% 29.22%

Altair ended up winning that pretty easily.

Expert voting
Auron got this 100% the question is who finish second
And I got L-Block in my expert so there!

Also, if next match is Samus/L-Block/Tifa, does L-Block win for resembling a penis in a match pic with four giant breasts?
