~*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.

Vote totals are currently 15 thousand ahead of Link/Draven.


This match will continue to outpace Link/Draven for a while since the downtime was happening at this point in Link/Draven. Without any downtime in this match, we will definitely hit 130000 votes. Maybe 140000 votes if the rallying is more intense for this match since it's much closer.

Draven tanked that update, but that could be due to the rally disappearing?

Which only means it's coming up again...watch out everyone

New rally thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1mfum5/gamefaqs_character_battle_finals_draven_vs_solid/


Those W. Championship threads can keep it off the top though. + Snake's natural vote intake can see him through this.

My god these LoL people. They're trying to frame us of vote manipulation so they can get the thread deleted and start another one.

In other words - they are trying to vote manipulate by falsely accusing us of it!

These people are complete loons! o_O

I still have hope, but I hate myself for it.

I will always believe Snake is the man who makes the impossible possible, and I believe he can do it today.

But the chances are sub-15%.
