Talk:Closest Matches

So only matches that were directly for points get credited, right? 1v1s naturally, and races for second in 4-ways for the same reason, and races for first in 4-ways also count because bracket-makers had to pick the order they thought the top 2 would finish. But races for 3rd place in 4-ways don't count because both contestants would be eliminated anyway, and likewise, any Battle Royale result other than the lowest two doesn't count, am I right? Because I've been looking through the archives, and there are a few such "trivial" results that are closer than some of the current top 25 for all formats. Only 162 votes separated Snake and Sephiroth on Day 2 of the 2006 Battle Royale, and just 7 separated Street Fighter IV and Persona 4 when they met in 2009. Just thought that should be noted.
