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. --- Del Boy:He who dares, wins! |

XD @ Squall And to chime on on whether Zero hurts or helps Mega Man, I point to EVERY OTHER SFF MATCH WE HAVE EVER SEEN. No matter who wins here, they're going to be lucky to break 15% next round, at least if Vivi is there, he hurts cube and Snake, instead of Zero just hurting Mega Man. --- I want adventure in the great wide somewhere...

Gaddswell (#034) Yeah, I was thinking it was doable if Vivi could keep it under 100 by the final hour, cuz ralliers would likely support Vivi over Zero... but it doesn't seem good for Vivi. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/rydia.gif http://card.mygamercard.net/aero/Albion+Hero.png |
