~*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.

I expect to see some reaction from Draven's fans when the lead is under 1000.If that happens...Link is the champion again.

Honestly, who really wants to get in the way of this?

I know I'm totally biased on Link's side here, but this is contest history in the making if Link can do it.

6000 votes.

In response for my embarrassing abandonment of Link in Expert Challenge I might just pick Link/Link/Link in every remaining match he's involved in.

You've gotta give Snake a shot. He's looked absolutely fearsome this year, Link likely will have to deal with that Nintendo third entrant (just not Mario), and there's always a chance that some LoLers will stick around to influence the final polls, and one must figure they wouldn't be too happy with Link. Kind of funny how, at this point, L-Block would be Link's best friend in the finals.

As opposed to discussing if a Reddit Rally is going to happen every time Draven competes? You're right that sounds SO much better, and would definitely leave a much longer lasting memory from this contest than Link turning around A 6000 VOTE DEFICIT.
