A = Strongest Character
B = Character Weaker than A
C = Character Weaker than B
To figure out a character's Xsts 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

http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Acronyms_and_Percentages

~*Say What? Common Stats Topic Lingo Defined*~

SFF (Same Fanbase Factor) - Same Fanbase Factor is the theory that, if two contestants share a common fanbase, the weaker of the two options will underperform in a direct matchup. For instance, Link was expected to defeat Ganon with 65% of the vote in 2004, based on their 2003 values. Instead, Link collected near 88% of the vote. This is the best example of SFF we've ever seen. However take some SFF labels with a grain of salt, as many people will slap it onto any match that doesn't make perfect sense.

Extrapolated Standings - The mathematical "strength" of a contestant that's determined based on their performance relative to the rest of the field. This number is typically based on the contest entrant's loss, but adjustments are sometimes made. See above for a watered down explanation for how the stats are calculated.

"Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!"
"Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!"

I'd rather watch Link 90/10 Ganondorf than Link/Ganondorf 60/40 Batman/Joker.

Though I guess the latter would be nice to shut everyone up.

Can Cloud gain 10% from the board vote here? I don't think Trainers are safe even with 60% at the freeze.

Updater isn't active because the poll number is two higher than the last. Should have expected that with 64.jpg.

This is beautiful. I hope it goes on for the full 24 hours.

Mario > Link let's do this

FIGHT THE LAW

"I can set you free, mate."
"My freedom was forfeit long ago!"

Based on two minutes of data, this clearly proves Mario is the strongest character on the site and Link is always rSFFing him.

Already under 60%

Cloud/Sephiroth's victory is guaranteed.

Lead of 145 at the freeze.

The lead seemed to steadily increase throughout tbqh. Will probably still lose though =(
