~*Simple Explanation of Extrapolated Standings*~
A = Strongest Character
B = Character Weaker than A
C = Character Weaker than B
To figure out a character's extrapolated 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

Advokaiser won the guru! Congrats!

Oh wow, #8 on the decade, and 22 all time despite 2k6 being my first Guru.

Strange, I don't see Yuri Lowell on that list for all the s*** he talk

All this high praise for it has got me looking to wishlist it on the Switch now...not available to do so yet though.

Might get it on Steam before then.

It's hard to believe that Dying Light is the weakest of the non-Tomb Raider losers. Either Red Dead 2 is a powerhouse, or we're in for some hilarious round 2 matches.

The biggest issue of note today is to see how much MGSV gets exposed. I'm not counting on Dead Cells to be worth much more than the blank that was Disco Elysium, so once again it's all up to the antivotes. There's the question of whether or not Hotline Miami is underseeded, but today's result can't be trusted due to the SFF. You know, because both games are difficult and involve dying a lot.

I should note that I don't think FighterZ's match pic will be working any miracles here, but if it somehow does than that's proof positive we need to get Goku in a character battle ASAP.
Leonhart4 4/7/2020 4:29:49 PM#16
I can believe Dying Light is the weakest game today
Gall 4/7/2020 4:32:11 PM#17
I can believe it's low fodder, but weaker than a hated fighting game and a game roughly 10 of the voters have played?

I don't believe RDR2 is going to crush the rest of the division.
Gall 4/7/2020 4:35:32 PM#19
I don't either. I'm saying that Kingdom Hearts and Animal Crossing are going to get crushed.
Leonhart4 4/7/2020 4:36:35 PM#20
Well, it's got plenty of space for Dying Light to be the weakest game and still beat either of those games comfortably.

Still surprised that RL/DBZ is one of B8's most contested matches. Let's see how close it'll be!

68% had Animal Crossing so it was a decisive favorite for the casuals too

Rocket League and DBZ sure to be a barn burner

WTF at how weak the Witness is. How do you go from indie darling to blown out by a third rate C tier PS exclusive that nobody has ever played?

Nope. Witness has it beat.
Either Yakuza 0 is secretly amazing or The Witness is the weakest game in the bracket

Which is to say, The Witness is the weakest game in the bracket
Advokaiser is the man. Congrats!
