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. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: 1st place, 38857 votes (30.47%) |

He dropped off a bit after that, but he was pretty consistent all the way through. Riku would've been extremely consistent if not for that first night vote. Dante did great during the early morning and was much stronger than Leon throughout the day. Hogger's best time was the first night vote, but man, his early morning vote was abysmal. Yesterday's stats: Dante – 50.00% Leon Kennedy – 47.60% Riku – 39.60% Hogger – 27.83% Division 7, Lower Half Dante – 50.00% Leon Kennedy – 47.60% Riku – 39.60% Siegfried Schtauffen – 28.61% Hogger – 27.83% Ramza Beoulve – 27.69% Laharl – 27.30% Captain MacMillan – 24.19% Pretty straightforward stats. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: 1st place, 38857 votes (30.47%) |

2006 was probably Sonic's best year ever. I find it hard to believe
the year four ways started, people randomly realized Sonic's games suck. That's a good point. (I think Karma Hunter was trying to say the same thing, but in a much more confusing way that I didn't understand at first) Still, I think we can safely say that SonicSUCK can't be all format-induced - it must largely have to do with lack of well-received/high selling games, and falling levels of exposure relative to other characters in the recent video game boom. Sonic isn't the icon he was just a few years ago anymore. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I dunno, Sandbag looks like a pretty legit midcarder (at least in this
format). All this tells me is that Subby/Magus would probably be a good
match, and I'd take Sub-Zero. Uhhh...Sandbag vs. Master Hand: Who you got? I hate to say this, but we need to see Master Hand again. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: 1st place, 38857 votes (30.47%) |

Sure, beating Kuja doesn't mean much, but IMO, neither does edging out CT's answer to Donkey Kong (AKA, Magus). --- Isaac and Princess Kumatora for SSB4! SSBB Mains: Zelda, Peach, Lucas, Ness Now we must duel, like two gleaming banjos on a moonlit stoop! -Dimentio, SPM |

I found Tifa's way more gagworthy than any of Sora's. And also, I'd take Master Hand > Sandbag pretty easily, and I'd take Kuja > Sandbag 1v1. Sandbag may have tendencies of legit characters but I still don't think it's entirely legit and I don't think it'd hit 50% against much anything. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 2 - Raiden/Big Boss/Kirby.

From: Fayt_Esteed | #027 Magus once beat Ganondorf and put up 35% against Link. He may not be as strong as he once was, but he's still a midcard. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/rydia.gif http://card.mygamercard.net/aero/Albion+Hero.png |

2006 was probably Sonic's best year ever. I find it hard to believe
the year four ways started, people randomly realized Sonic's games suck. It wasn't his best year so much as it was Crono's worst. He did just as expected on Vincent and wound up equal to Mega Man in the stats again. If 2006 was Sonic's best year, that means Mega Man boosted with him from 2005, and that doesn't make any sense. Sonic stayed consistent from 2005-2006, then dropped off last year, and even moreso this year. As for this Auron talk, I don't think he's moved anywhere from where he's been the last 4 years. The near NNers is still Squall/Vincent Auron Ganondorf/Tifa --- I want adventure in the great wide somewhere...

Magus once beat Ganondorf and put up 35% against Link. He may not be as strong as he once was, but he's still a midcard. And he decided to suck ass in every single match he's been in since 2005. Hence my calling him CT's answer to Donkey Kong. Although DK has always sucked... --- Isaac and Princess Kumatora for SSB4!

Ganondorf can be easily explained. He's done nothing but suck since the
Villain Contest, and all we saw of him in 2004 was losing to Link worse
than CATS did. --- 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 |

I'd take Sandbag over Master Hand. I was initially going to say that
Magus is way out of Kuja's league- which is true- but Sandbag only beat
Magus in a 4-way. Nonetheless, Sandbag seems to have a much more
appealing character than MH. Sandbag has those eyes....MH is as bland
as can be. --- Crono's quest to kick L-Block out of this contest: Round 3: Crono vs. L-Block vs. Pikachu vs. Alucard |

Ganondorf will soon be exposed as a fraud just like all the other
previous Noble Nine breakers. And then it will be Vincent's turn- no
matter how many proofs of the reality of his strength Vincent has
given, the wrath of the Noble Nine shall fall upon him yet. The Noble
Nine will not lose (1v1 matches) and all who dare to assume in
arrogance the title of #1 Noble Nine Breaker shall fall! --- Crono's quest to kick L-Block out of this contest: Round 3: Crono vs. L-Block vs. Pikachu vs. Alucard |

Oh, and on the stats page, the Dante having more people picking him for
2nd is really weird. With 30% of those people Leon for 1st pickers, and
41% picking Dante for 2nd, that's another 30% that picked either Riku
or Hogger - and obviously can't be too many Hogger pickers. So it seems almost as many had Riku in 1st as had Leon in 1st. Interesting. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
