~*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

Yes, it took quite a while compared to the other two, but we got it like half a year ago.

A lot. Skyrim has been a slow starter, and Nintendo is generally front loaded.

pokemon usually has good board vote
Skyrim had better have an astronomical rise after the board vote, because frankly, even if does this result might still turn out bad.

if Skyrim does finish 60%, that looks like a clear Witcher 3 winner since Mario Galaxy 2 has to be stronger than Mario Kart 8

Yeah, I mentioned this myself in the Board 8 Discord, so I wasn't ready to declare that Pokemon is in trouble yet.

other way around, mk8 is a very popular multiplayer game so it's expected to get more votes than smg2.

smg2 would destroy Mk8 directly. Indirectly its probably a 57-43

smash is a different beast compared to mario kart

you need to do research into the contest and its history

MK games post 64 have been worth s***

Did we ever hash out the % Skyrim needed to be the favorite against Witcher 3

Because in no universe do I take Mario Kart 8 > SMG2

Yuri_LowelI 4/26/2020 5:12:35 PM#42
This is a poor performance by skyrim regardless

this is the same game that was going toe to toe with Metroid Prime 5 years ago

Imagine what Metroid Prime would be doing to Mk8 right now

A doubling

Which might still be in play

It got to a doubling after a similar start against Phoenix Wright!

Yes, and the more popular and more players that can play a game, the better!

That's why Fortnite has been such a juggernaut this contest

probably 65% + to be even

favourite? 68%

and absolutely not. Mk8 would get destroyed.

I mean, Skyrim is already over 60% in the 2nd update. It could still get low 60s here, which wouldn't be a terrible result.

1 person fell off the Top 50. Dark_Koopatrol got at least one match wrong last time.

Things would have gotten ugly if Batman pulled off the upset.

Skyrim can't establish itself as the favorite against anything in this match IMO. The Mario Kart series is too weird. It'll need a very strong showing against Pokemon to raise its stock with me.

Also, the who else thinks the highly anticipated Witcher vs Skyrim could suddenly wind up as Persona vs Dark Souls? I never would have considered Witcher losing early after Round 2, but Round 3 has been humbling for most of the heavy hitters.
