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.

This Mario performance is worse than anything Cloud and Seph have done so far. I mean even if Vivi have some rally votes it should not be even close to matter.

guess only FREAKING MARIO only works if he's against another Nintendo character close to his strength

By the end of the hour, this poll will likely have as many votes as Snake / Alucard / Bayonetta did over the entire 12-hour period.

Mario is 70-30'ing Ganon. Do the math guys...

CIV: (2) Squall Leonhart vs. (5) Amaterasu vs. (8) Missingno

Previous Round

Squall Leonhart – 65.85%
Rayman – 26.21%
Commander Video – 7.95%

Amaterasu – 66.79%
Vyse – 20.59%
Adol Christin – 12.62%

Missingno – 40.58%
Tidus – 40.50%
Banjo – 18.92%

Analysis

I do not think there has been a contest where Amaterasu did not impress me. I know his opponents were terrible, but doubling your opponents combined is impressive to me. Amaterasu has never shown to be among the near-elites which is something she needs to be if she wants to take the upset. If Vyse has held constant I would give her a chance, but with Skies of Arcadia getting nothing it is quite likely that he is even weaker now.

Squall looked okay, assuming Rayman has gotten stronger. Rayman was beaten by Vyse back in 2007, but unlike Vyse he has been getting some games and Ubisoft has decided to focus on him again rather than the spin-offs they were making. In normal circumstances Squall should be able to win this match.

L-Block has showed that jokes are not fully dead which means Missingno has a great chance at winning this match. Tidus may be a step down from Squall, but jokes rarely operate linearly. Even taking into account the rally L-Block received it was not too far off from Auron plus there is no reason why this joke will also not be rallied.

With Pokemon and L-Block performing so well I am going to go with what I consider to be an upset and take Missingno to win. With rallies popping up everywhere it is going to be hard to predict matches, but we will see how things turn out.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Squall Leonhart > Missingno and Amaterasu

charmander6000’s Prediction: Missingno – 38.83%, Squall Leonhart – 36.56%, Amaterasu – 24.61%

Come on Vivi. We're in the true SNV now. Start gaining again! Before Mario's clutch comes to save him.

And then the car wash cost five dollars.

This is quickly becoming the worst match ever instead of the best.

Mario already owns the worst match ever!

Okay, Vivi holds. I was really afraid Mario would smash through the 100 barrier there.

Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick

i was really worried for sub-100 there. good job.

While trends still favor Vivi, there aren't that many more votes left at this point from normal activity, and he can't count on gaining too much on Mario from that- probably not more than a 100 vote edge. It's all about the rallying now.
---
Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick

Vivi has some ralliers. Mario surely has his own ralliers.

Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick

I predict a Mario spike next update. n_n

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

Another lead change or two would make this a five-star match.

Allen didn't screw VV, Phoenix Wright didn't screw VV, Mewtwo certainly did not screw VV,

This match has an outside shot of hitting 40,000

This is why I said a few hours ago Mario was still probably going to win.

If Vivi pulls this off I'll be real impressed. Mario probably smashes through the last few updates with monster vote totals (for the time) and wins going away, though. He's the master at that.

Bold prediction: Crono/Mario/MMX hits 50,000.

Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick

If Mario wins this, Vivi should take his spot in the strongest R2 loser match.
---
Allen didn't screw VV, Phoenix Wright didn't screw VV, Mewtwo certainly did not screw VV,

Bah, Crono > MMX is not nearly as fun.
---
Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick
your 7 time champion, Link.

And Vivi might even get some LFF on Crono, resulting in MMX winning. Argh.

Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick

Mario on the comeback trail. Why does this feel so familiar?

106 now.

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?

Historically, nobody has as many rallies in their pocket as much as Mario, except maybe Pokemanz. (Excluding Draven of course)

L-Block showed off huge rally power vs. Auron but the block isn't as consistent as Mario.

I'd quote the song with you
But I'm depressed over this result
I'd certainly like to escape from reality

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

Mario is summoning the power of all the littile Nintendrones all around the web in order to push for the win.

Okay, that song is too mopey. OOT music it is. Link will crush Mario, for Great Justice.
