Some Common Stat Topic Lingo Defined*~ SFF (Same Fanbase Factor) - Same Fanbase Factor is the theory that, if two contestants share a common fanbase, the weaker of the two options will underperform in a direct matchup. For instance, Link was expected to defeat Ganon with 65% of the vote in 2004, based on their 2003 values. Instead, Link collected near 88% of the vote, because the Zelda fanbase so clearly sided with him. However, take some SFF labels with a grain of salt, as many people will slap it onto any match that doesn't make total sense. This has caused a few SFF jokes, with LordOfDabu's "Some Frivolous Factor" being the funniest of them. X-Stats - Short form of Extrapolated Statistics, aka the mathematical "strength" of a contestant that can be determined based on their performance in any given matchup. See above for a detailed explanation of the x-stat process. rSFF (Reverse Same Fanbase Factor): An unproven theory that states that an SFF match will feature the expected weaker character receiving more benefit from SFF than the stronger character. For example, all evidence supports Samus being indirectly stronger than Mario, yet Mario blew Samus away during their 2005 match. That's rSFF in action, and the one case we have of the weaker statistical character winning with it. For other information, surf the contest sites a bit. They have everything. --- MY BROTHERS WILL NOT HAVE DIED IN VAIN! Now Playing: Final Fantasy 4 DS, Spore ~*ST*~ |

Arthas' power hour was his lowest time through the whole poll, though that can be chalked up to Mega Man. Ike's best non-ASV time was the Power Hour, but he was against 3 night guys. Should be interesting. |

How many votes did Arthas comeback from, though? I want to know his
comeback potential, because Ike's looking to surmount a sizeable lead. --- SNES Reviews - http://mega64.20ehost.com/ "[Wylvane]'s the type of guy we probably need more of around here to keep the place interesting." ~Smurf |

Anyone else find it odd that we get more SFF between Shadow and Link than we do between Falcon and Diddy? I thought SFF was more pronounced with characters who already had vastly different strengths. Didn't Mario beat DK and Bowser down a lot more than Samus? |

Pikachu is dying. The very fact that he has a board vote (I mentioned this a dozen times last year, but it warrants repeating) is sickening. You people should feel ashamed. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

| Arthas still has a decent chance here, but if Ike
keeps winning updates during the Power Hour he's not going to be able
to build his lead much at night. And Ike should beat him during the day. Incidentally, the biggest lead Diablo had was 252 votes and he started losing it at 1:50 AM. Arthas got as high as 631 by 2 PM before Diablo could cut off about 300 votes, ending it at 347 votes. --- Mustache...and green... |
