Yeah, each match in the battle royale is worth 8 points. D'oh! I'm reasonably sure I had Snake eliminated first, then Samus, then Mario, then Sephiroth, then Cloud. There's no way to see our battle royale picks for now though, is there? --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. |

Honestly, how rude. Stupid Tifa gets to have the match of her life,
while Zelda is stuck here in pink, flowery dresses, against a giant,
energy-blasting robot. Pfft. --- caps |

I want to say I'd be in first right now if I had done more Contest
Stats and Discussion research before making my picks. I lost my only
four points because of Sub-Zero, Ganondorf, Phoenix Wright, and Amy
freaking Rose. On the other hand, with more CS&D research, I might not have picked Sonic over Crono. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. |

I don't see any way Snake goes out before Samus in the BR. He or Sonic
should both have a much easier time avoiding SFF than Samus behind
Link/Mario. In fact, I could see either of them doing quite well, once
Link/Mario and Cloud/Seph are forced the split the vote between each
other. --- thengamer.com/xstats - "lol x-stats," The Contest Simulator thengamer.com/gamefaqs - The Contest Archives |

If Sonic wins the bracket, we should have an even lower %age than Cloud
2K3. Of course, he probably won't, but it would be interesting to see. Personally, I just think this is the nail in the concept of true transitivity's coffin. Not true, transitivity doesn't apply across years, only within years. Or maybe you're confusing it with linearity, which is a common mistake around here. A lot of you may feel inclined to believe that this year proves that the X-Stats are useless or that voters are inherently unpredictable and thus the contest isn't even worth analyzing. Nah, you'd have to be pretty dense to think that. This year hasn't been any less accurate for x-stats than any other years, it's just that some people seem to get jollies by wasting their time attacking math or something. But that's the case every year, in like half the matches we see ;) The concept of direct past results not being wholly accurate has been exemplified by this contest (but this was also the case in 2K3, to an even greater extent), but that isn't extrapolation. In Sonic vs. Crono for instance Sonic was a bigger dog than he deserved to be extrapolation wise, because people put a lot of faith in past results, and Sonic had an undeserved reputation for losing close matches (which mathematically doesn't make sense, unless there are cheaters). That's mainly psychology and superstition. Likewise with Snake; going by extrapolation vs. past result you could see his victory coming, but most of us (including myself) took a while to adjust to that, and even when Snake was the favorite it wasn't by the degree that this year's result implied, because we had 2 direct matches to go by. For this match, the question is if there will be any significant night/day trends. I myself wouldn't expect there to be, but maybe. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Liquid Snake suffered...maybe 3% worth of SFF against Sephiroth in
Sp2K5, and possibly less than that...possibly none at all, depending on
how strong you think Sephiroth actually was in Sp2K5 (use SC2K5 Snake
and you see Liquid's very close to Frog 2K5). I don't think Snake would
suffer any SFF at all against Cloud or Sephiroth in a 1-on-1 match, let
alone in the Battle Royale. I figure Samus may have a slight chance at beating out Sonic, if Sonic's iconic status hurts him a lot in this sort of situation...(i.e. he's strong in a normal contest environment because he's an icon and generally liked, not because he's a common favorite), though Sonic should definitely be favored. (Mario could have a similar problem, but then again, it's NintendoFAQs). If Snake's in the BR, though, I'd personally give Samus almost zero chance not getting last place. --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |
