Is it just me or are a lot of the values Link has historically been set at pretty dumb? I, uh, really, REALLY don't think 2007 Link being worth 59.90% on Base Link is a thing.

I agree that they are really dumb. In fact, I made the 2007 stats eleven years ago because it seems nobody wanted to. I used Morgoth's mult-way poll calculations, which was the prevailing x-stats method at the time, to show how terrible that method of extrapolating is. Honestly, the probability/ratio method of calculating works a LOT better. Even the linear calculations (which we use in all 1v1 matches) work better than Morgoth's, despite its inaccuracies in 3/4-way polls.

I'm wondering how 2008's x-stats were created, though, because they don't look like they used Morgoth's method. (I was completely AWOL between late 2008 and 2010.) It looks like the traditional linear calculations were used that year.

Except Zero Suit Samus doesn't even hurt Samus anymore because it's firmly become established as its own thing because of Smash.

Didn't Samus get a ZSS pic against Snake? What if a ZSS pic actually makes Samus stronger now? Unfortunately, the pics on creative's site are in pieces and scattered, so I'm not able to check on what pics were used in which matches.
