~*Simple Explanation of Extrapolated Standings*~
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

~*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.

No, but Tina's lead only increased by 4. Doesn't mean much on a single update though.

tharja would probably beat chrom. there's no way he is going to beat big boss, lucina is more likely to win her match.

Tina gained 4.

"I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now."

I expect Tharja, Chrom and Lucina to be around the same level.

Demyx is better than Axel.

Tharja with 40% makes me feel good about Reyn > Clementine > Spyro, alittle bit.

Tharja JRPG result made me want to pick Yuri > Face
Tina result made me want to pick Face > Yuri

I don't see Mcshooty being the same strength as Tina.

Great name, not the same level of relevance.

I think picking Clementine to win was a mistake.

Not sure how it relates to this match exactly. Maybe it's just my judgment

SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0

Nah, The Boss is stronger than all of these scrubs by a decent bit.

In all fairness, Chrom is probably stronger than all of them by a decent bit as well.

So Tina > Face... really???

Yeah IDK what Clementine has anything to do with this match?

Walking Dead characters are still totally untested, so I'd say their still somewhat unpredictable.

Tharja's doing phenomenal in Britain, and Tina's bombing there for what it's worth (nothing).

if Chrom gets a random Smash Bros announcement, I could buy it. Until then, I think Boss can squeak by. There's a lot of MGS fans on this site, especially of 3 I feel like.

Yup, next one will be Draven vs. Jak, but that might be a dud.

draven is definitely a weird one, but he has by far the most popular meme lol has ever produced.

Huh, that was an interesting update. This could be a barn burner to come folks!

Tina's doing really well in the Midwest/Mountain Region, so maybe Juliet can pick up some steam as they go to bed.
---

This is Yesmar.

The battle for 2nd place in Link/Isaac/Tingle was decent for about an hour.
---
This is my signature.

Oh, and this exact logic is why I picked Catherine to win her match. "Gamer nerds" cared WAY WAY WAY MORE about Catherine than TWEWY.

I see what you mean with siding with JRPG characters. However, I'm not sure Catherine > TWEWY is necessarily certain.
---
Pokemon VGC2013 BC Regional - 16th place
Pokemon VGC2013 US National - 39th place

Catherine isn't even a JRPG!

Tina seems to be winning USA easily but losing everywhere else, maybe this is not over just yet

comeback initiated

For what it's worth Juliet seems to have a pretty strong on the East coast at this point. Maybe she will get a good morning vote.

It's a shame we can't view results for an entire continent overall. That means we can't view results for Europe as a whole. We can only look at the results for various European countries, many of which have like 1 or 2 votes right now.

That was a good gain by Tina, up +12 (41).

Juliet's finishing in first in a fair number of US states on the East Coast, including New York!

Tina should probably hold in Massachusetts though. Multiplayer games tend to be pretty popular there.

"What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!"
This is Yesmar.

Tharja with only under 7% in West Virginia, haha.

Now Awaiting:
Tales of Xillia, Squigly patch for Skullgirls

Almost cut Tharja there, too.
---
"I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now."

I am so happy coming home that Tharja is in the lead. This was probably the one match in R1 that I was most worried about.
---
In Oz; cruel is the usual punishment.

Cool! I just realized that if you click on the countries that used to have individual poll results it gives you detailed region by region maps for them as well, like the state maps for the U.S.!
---
"What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!"
This is Yesmar.

Also, don't know if anyone got this one yet but there was a 82.56% correct pick percentage for the previous match.
