Y'ALL READY FOR MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATH!
Disclaimer: I'm not telling you who to vote for, I'm just doing some calculations and showing you what they were before I made my decision. My math doesn't prove or disprove anything. Which I think you already know cuz the last two months, my pick didn't even win
But anyway, I ain't mathematically proving anything definitively, I just like whoever I picked based on subjective statistics.
NOW, WITNESS MY MATHS!

Okay, so… I’ma go ahead and cut the people who didn’t win more than half of their matches. So, that eliminates LSM and Ned Kaye.
I’m also going to cut Corey and my two dark horse Other Selections, Cashe and Boots. Great months from all three, but limited match numbers compared to the rest of the field.
So that leaves Vita, Bobby and Alias.
Okay, now watch this though. A lot of people are citing Vita’s 6-0 record. Bobby comparatively has a 3-0 record, all of his matches taking place in the King of the XWF tourney. Alias also has a 3-0.
HOWEVER… How difficult were these records to obtain? How do they compare with one another? Let’s calculate…
COMBINED OPPONENT WIN-LOSS RECORD FOR MARCH
Vita beat…
Morbid Angel (0-1) (0-3 if you also count MiniMorbid which… do you? What’s the canon? Are Morbid and Mini-Morbid the same guy or different people? Whatever, let’s play it safe and say 0-1)
Calvary (twice) (1-3)
Alex Minette-Vega-Yin (0-1)
Ruby (1-1)
Hide Yamakazi (0-1) & Jacki O’Lantern (0-1) & Oliver Taylor (0-1)
Combined Record of Opponents in March: 2-9
Combined Records of Opponents minus matches against Vita: 2-1
Combined Wins of Vita’s Opponents in March: 2
Bobby beat…
Raion Kido (2-1)
Jenny Myst (3-1)
Calvary (1-3)
Combined Record of Opponents in March: 6-5
Combined Records of Opponents minus matches against Bobby: 6-2
Combined Wins of Bobby’s Opponents in March: 6
Alias beat…
Peter Vaughn (1-1)
Mark Flynn (2-1)
Charlie Nickles (1-1)
Combined Record of Opponents in March: 4-3
Combined Records of Opponents minus matches against Alias: 4-0
Combined Wins of Alias' Opponents in March: 4
Okay… So, Vita had an incredible month. Six wins in one month might be a record. But she also had beat 9 people that all-combined scored two total wins for the month of March.
Meanwhile, Bobby went undefeated and scored the only victories in March over last month’s SotM, Kido and Jenny Myst.
And Alias literally beat three dudes (myself included) that only lost to him for the entire month!
…Shit. Okay. So I’ma cut Vita. And that just leaves Bobby and Alias…
…Sheeeeeeeeeeee-it.
So, as a rule-of-thumb for JUST my vote and no one else’s… I tend to give an extra point for beating last month’s SotM. And Bobby beat Raion soooooo…
For the record, Vita, Alias and Bobby all had incredible months and should be very proud.
…Buuuuuuuuuut, I gotta throw it to Bobby this month. Long live the King.
