I made a post about the math theory behind how these 4-way battles might work: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/detail.php?board=8&topic=37693592&message=414547155

Basically, results in this format are probably going to be very, very skewed if that theory stuff is right. We are going to see some characters with almost unimaginably bad percentages here - it won't simply be that if a character is 10% against Link, he'd get around 5% against Clinkeroth in a 4-character match; he'd actually get much worse (if my theory stuff is accurate).

I'll try to work out a formulaic way of handling this, rather than actually generated random numbers and comparing them. When I do that, I might make a form on my site where you can enter your estimates for strength, and then it will give you copy&pastable Oracle results - if anyone thinks such a thing might be useful (I'm posting about it to put some pressure on myself not to lazy-out on it later...though there's a good chance I won't do it for a long time)
