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. --- (|| ' ' ||) Not changing my sig until EBA2/Ouendan 3 is announced. (4/22/08) . /|_|\ http://imgcake.com/img/40/all_eba.jpg |

Marcus has only cut about 400 votes in 4 hours of ASV tho. Thats
nothing compared to what he did against Kefka that might of been the
most impressive ASV we've ever seen. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/rydia.gif http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |

quick how close is ocelot/kratos I wanna say closer than Ocelot/Jill despite the REFEAR but I'm most likely wrong, since Ocelot will need to boost a lot to be at Kratos' level. Then again, who knows how much MGS4FEAR has done for Ocelot. --- But the scars of memory never fade away. I can't stop loving you. Stop my tears. Stop my loving. Kill my memories. |

You guys are tempting fate, any minute now Lopen's going to show up
with his creepy Sephiroth erotic fanfic predictions and we'll all be
sorry. And yeah, going back to the end of the other topic, I guess Riku was the one who stood out to me as utterly failing to rise to expectations with the day vote. Damn you, Riku. --- Attention, all yoctograms! (It's x2) DIE! |

almost call for Sephiroth to have the highest percentage of the contest

I'm taking a page out of HM's book and calling an Ocelot win over Kratos. Reason? Ocelot = Other MGS guy who overperformed, and Kratos = Felix the cat. Or Fenix. Or Phoenix. Whatever this guy's last name. --- Good Times, Great Memories |

he could anyway. LFF doesn't matter when your opponents are so bad that
they can't take advantage of it. SFF outweighs LFF in this case. but I don't think Sephiroth is approaching 60% either way. if he is, Tifa's in real trouble. --- xyzzy http://users.tpg.com.au/112358//85454546braidav.gif |

Keep Rosa outta here! But if Sephy gets 60% or so, that still leaves Tifa 40% to work with, and she can get 20% while Nana and Ratchet split the remaining 20% or so.
