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. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

CASTLEVANIA: SOTN ~ I am the Wind lyrics Version 1.0 Created by ZhouTaiRoks ----------------------------- Just like the wind, I've always been Drifting high up in the sky that never ends Through thick and thin, I always win 'Cause I would fight both life and death to save a friend I face my destiny every day I live And the best in me is all I have to give Just like the sun (Just like the sun) When my day's done Sometimes I don't like the person I've become Is the enemy within a thousand men? Should I walk the path if my world's so dead ahead? Is someone testing me every day I live? Well, the best in me is all I have to give I can pretend (I can pretend) I am the wind (I am the wind) And I don't know if I will pass this way again All things must end Goodbye, my friend Think of me when you see the sun or feel the wind I am the wind, I am the sun And one day we'll all be one I am the wind, I am the sun And one day we'll all be one I am the wind, I am the sun And one day we'll all be one I am the wind, I am the sun One day we'll all be one... --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/16hnm05.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

| Arthas will probably finish above Falcon.
Alucard/Pikachu might be close: Alucard will dominate the night once
the power hour is over, and Pikachu will have to try to come back with
the ASV. --- Crono's quest to kick L-Block out of this contest: Round 2: Crono > L-Block > Ryu > Amaterasu |

None of this really makes sense. How is Arthas doing so bad here? WC3
face shot should be his best picture. Not only that, but Alucard went
from struggling with SFF'd Falcon to looking the favourite to beat

Arthas barely beat Ike last round... clearly, uh... Falcon is stronger
than Ike and uh... Alucard is way stronger than Spy and uh... stuff. --- For your health. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Cyclo/pokewhat.jpg This is my Chocomander, Steve! |

I can't even spin this one way or the other for Ike because even though

Hmm... which American FE games has Ike starred in? I bet Falcon beats
him with Smash support, so he'll probably have to count on those. --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/16hnm05.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Then explain why Alucard is doing so much better on Falcon? Unless he and Diddy weren't overlapping at all --- I want adventure in the great wide somewhere... I want it more than I can tell! - Belle http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/3949/beautyandthebeast21024uh9.jpg |

And yes, I would expect Falcon/Pikachu to overlap a little more than
Falcon/Diddy. Most of Falcon's strength probably comes from Melee,
which does not feature Diddy, while most of Diddy's strength probably
comes from outside of Smash. --- Crono's quest to kick L-Block out of this contest: Round 2: Crono > L-Block > Ryu > Amaterasu |

We're still in the Power Hour. Alucard will build himself a nice lead
