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 |

mario in the finals confirmed You would think that Link would affect Mario more than Pikachu affects Samus, but looking at this match......L-Block had a 2000 vote lead on Link by this point.

Crono > Vincent is not the best result for Crono at all Samus advancing would pretty much guarantee Crono in the finals |

Well, L ruins the contest. Why wouldn't we want him out? Yeah, last year really was terrible, alright. L-Block is the foundation of this format. It winning no longer rocks anything. It losing to SAVE_US.RAT however, rocks the contest again. Back to Link > Cloud? Uhhh...yay? |

Link losing to L-Block was amazing because it was so unbelievable, so
out there, that it was awesome. Pikachu, once hated, becoming the
board's last remaining hero standing between the Block and a guaranteed
spot in the finals is awesome. --- ~War~ The Cream of Transexual Ex Girlfriend Fanboyism ~War~ |

Pikachu, once hated, becoming the board's last remaining hero
standing between the Block and a guaranteed spot in the finals is
awesome. This is something else that's been bothering me: Didn't everyone say this about Ryu last round? Who's to say Crono/Vincent couldn't surprise us too? oh hell yes someone linked this **** to /v/ Excellent. Now it's on. |

From: Gaddswell | #040 I'm trying, but my topic on mmo-champion only ha 133 hits so far since I put it up about 20 min ago.
