KamikazePotato posted 2018 x-stats setting Link to 50%. I made a set of adjusted-standings that allow you to make comparisons between the 2013 stats and the 2018 stats. The traditional way to adjust the 2018 x-stats appropriately is to eliminate the outliers and then do least squares (or an average) of what is left. I would like to suggest that is a bad idea. If you look at each character individually, you will see that a LOT of characters have fallen in popularity. To remedy that situation, I removed all characters who appeared to have dropped significantly since 2013. From the characters that remained, Sub-Zero seemed to be the best fit as a constant between '13 and '18. However, given that KKP has given Sonic's division adjusted pretty low, perhaps using Sub-Zero isn't the best idea. Instead, I will use Crono as the constant.

Here's how I extrapolated some of the characters that made the Legends bracket:

Zelda - through Cloud
Mario - through Cloud
Tifa - through Mario/Sephiroth and Tifa/Sephiroth
Samus - through Tifa
Snake - through Zelda
Sonic - through Snake
Crono - through Alucard/Cloud, Alucard/Bowser, and Bowser/Crono
Mega Man - through Crono/Mega Man
Ganondorf - through Mega Man

By contrast, KKP measured Zelda through her direct match with Link, and then measured Snake, Sonic, and Auron's division (and Samus and Tifa, too, I think) through Zelda.
