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

Division 1 X-Stats!

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – 50.00%
Halo: Reach – 15.14%
The Outer Worlds – 14.98%
Life is Strange – 13.28%

Final Fantasy XV – 50.00%
Hollow Knight – 49.58%
Tales of Berseria – 36.88%
What Remains of Edith Finch – 25.35%

Monster Hunter: World – 50.00%
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice – 44.20%
Bravely Default: Flying Fairy – 42.05%
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch – 36.62%

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age – 50.00%
Bastion – 28.09%
The Walking Dead: A Telltale Games Series – 26.83%
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC – 19.33%

Fun with numbers!

If Edith Finch = Life Is Strange, BOTW beats FFXV with 73.81%

If Berseria = Outer Worlds, BOTW beats FFXV with 79.69%

FFXV needs to get at least 19.71% for Edith Finch to not be worth less than 10% on BOTW

If Monster Hunter = Dragon Quest XI:

Sekiro gets 78.13% on Trails, 69.65% on Walking Dead, and 68.22% on Bastion
Bravely Default gets 77.02% on Trails, 68.10% on Walking Dead, and 66.60% on Bastion
Ni no Kuni gets 73.61% on Trails, 63.37% on Walking Dead, and 61.65% on Bastion

Kinda like DQXI based on those numbers!

Berseria slightly redeemed! Still not great bit not as bad as people were making it out to be.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
plasmabeam 4/12/2020 6:46:49 PM#4

and unless BOTW really takes it to FFXV, Edith Finch probably won't be a bottom ten game in the X-Stats!
squexa 4/12/2020 7:10:16 PM#6
Meaning BotW will really take it to FFXV lol.

Edith Finch should be stronger than INSIDE and the Witness but not by much.
congrats to BKSheikah the BYIG guru
LeonhartFour 4/12/2020 7:57:33 PM#7
Eh, I think Edith Finch probably benefited from FFXV anti-votes, so it could be artificially inflated.
Safer_777 4/13/2020 4:21:56 AM#8
I touched the leaderboard at least! But man a core Nintendo franchise losing to Bloodborne? Now that I wouldn't expect it.
So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?
As touched upon in the previous Stats topic, we got a somewhat successful Bloodborne rally going on.

Bloodborne has now committed the unpardonable sin of totally unnecessary rallying

Take it down, RE2
LusterSoldier 4/13/2020 4:57:21 AM#13
The rally went up during the first 10 minutes of the match when it was still very close at the time. It just happened to catch fire hours later after it was no longer in trouble.

I'm seriously worried RE2 might fail to take it down now, if Bloodborne can actually pull a rally with 400 upvotes.
squexa 4/13/2020 5:03:13 AM#15
Oh boy Bloodborne could win this division.

This potential rally goes against my bracket and I therefore hate it

LeonhartFour 4/13/2020 5:28:48 AM#17
The rally doesn't seem to be having a disproportional effect on any other match besides Borderlands/Horizon.
If Bloodborne is obviously toast in a match, this size of rally won’t save it. This match has a thousand votes on the last one, and it seems to have calmed down.

However, I definitely regret changing to RE2!
I just decided to change this sig.

Oh Bloodborne has a rally! No wonder it's increasing in % so fast.

Honestly that's what I wanted to see out of a contest like this, considering how apathetic this site is to newer games in general. We all generally accept that Bloodborne would have this match anyway though right?

It was already winning comfortably before the rally, though.

this rally might be adding an extra 1% to BB's performance..lets not give it too much credit.

The rally is completely unnecessary. Bloodborne’s lead is bigger than all the extra votes, and that’s not even counting the ones that would go to Fire Emblem. Also the percentage gain has slowed - Bloodborne gained 0.1% in the last 40 minutes but was doing that in single updates earlier.

I just decided to change this sig.

ZeldaTPLink 4/13/2020 5:45:32 AM#27
Not sure how much xstats still apply here but I'd still take Doom to beat FE:A, and that is good for RE2's chances.
Now Bloodborne going a bit heavier.

Can’t wait for GameFAQs to start hating Bloodborne lols

ZeldaTPLink 4/13/2020 5:59:50 AM#30
Maybe this causes gameFAQs to hate the soulsborne fandom enough so that my TLOU pick works?

[hopes]
ZeldaTPLink 4/13/2020 6:13:47 AM#31
My fear is that not only this catches up, but it extends to the Dark Souls games. Like, that fandom tries to make an almost full Soulsborne semifinals.

Semifinals 1: Bloodborne vs Smash
Semifinals 2: Dark Souls vs Dark Souls 3

FInals: Bloodborn vs Dark Souls
I mean Bloodborne went from gaining 0.2% an hour to 0.5% now back down to near 0.2%. This is worth an extra thousand votes for Bloodborne in the best case. Bloodborne would still need to get about 47-48% on RE2 naturally to make the difference in that match. And hey, if anybody is desperate r/residentevil is actually more active than r/bloodborne.
I just decided to change this sig.
Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser
ZeldaTPLink 4/13/2020 6:25:47 AM#33
So compared to yesterday's matches, we are up about 1300 votes at this point of the day. They are probably most from Bloodborne, though it's possible some are just an extension of the natural increase in contest interest we saw yesterday.
Bloodborne may end up with a higher percentage then RE2

HaRRicH 4/13/2020 7:07:17 AM#36
Weird time for a rally to catch any traction. This could be repeatable, or, not -- not sure yet. That's an x-factor that could take what I thought was a real even-lookibg match next round into Bloodborne's match to lose.
swirIdude 4/13/2020 7:09:43 AM#37
The r/bloodborne rallier has said they will rally again for Bloodborne's next match, so expect a repeat.
Advokaiser picked Cloud in Guru and rained on my bracket.

FFDragon 4/13/2020 7:11:03 AM#38

Why is it always the s*** games that get rallied? Monika winning that last character battle would've been great and kinda fitting.
Sharinnegan 4/13/2020 7:17:00 AM#41
aand Blodborne has just surpassed RE2's %

RE2 has been tanking a bit too. wonder if the rallied ppl are favoring Doom.

Bloodborne is the best game in this bracket. If it got Undertale’d I would be so pleased.

Horizon rising during the night vote and morning looks like natural trends at work based on the trends from the Aloy/D.Va match. Aloy outright won the morning vote over D.Va in that match.
