KM, remember on AIM how we were talking about the validity of your 4-way poll formula (and mine)? You know, how I was trying to convince you that if, say, Kefka gets 20% on Link, and Edgeworth and Bidoof each got 10% on Link, Kefka would get get 50% on Edgeworth and Bidoof? Anyway, the following stuff suggests it's all true.

Well, I skipped testing that idea with creative's formula, thinking it wouldn't work... until a minute ago. IT WORKED PERFECTLY (the other methods did not). So, maybe his was mathematically correct, after all (despite an apparently obvious flaw)... however, the results still don't make sense, so maybe multiple factors besides raw strength influence the results.

The way I tested them was this: use the amazing excel file King Morgoth provided, and then use only three characters. Then, I'd set Link to 50%, and set both Edgeworth and Bidoof to X%. I'd optimize their percentage until the "X-stats" results suggested 80% for Link, and 10% for the others. Then, I'd set Kefka to 20% (20% on Link), and keep the x-stats of Edgeworth and Bidoof the same. The result ended up 50%, 25%, 25%, exactly as they "should" be. I did a similar thing with other 4-way result calculators, and it wouldn't work out.
