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. I made the change to the links that Ulti wanted! --- http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u205/MapleMasta/IkeClimbers2.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDaGWrPcjb8 |

| Wonderful, Megaman took back the lead! On another
note, Snake is now beating MM and Zero combined....not sure if that
will hold up. --- Crono's quest to beat Mario: 5 days until: Crono vs. Samus vs. Vincent vs. Pikachu |
| charmander6000 | Posted 11/9/2008 6:10:06 AM | message detail |

So how much of a lead does Mega Man need to get? Knowing WCC's trends a
few hundred will be enough, but with the fear of a massive rally I
probably won't relax until Mega Man has broken the 2000 vote barrier.

albion is sleeping (he isnt responding to me on aim). Wait till he
wakes up and starts rallying again. As of right now we just need mega
to get a large enough lead (say...500) so that he could hold off a
rally. Also, im starting to believe that snake could get 2nd in a link/cloud/vincent/snake poll, which the finals very well could be. --- Currently playing: HoMM3, FFII Next up: AJ ; Awaiting: SC2 |

You've already done your piece. Stop rallying for the Cube. It's obvious you don't care about making this match "interesting". Your Arthas/Hogger rallies proved it.

Also, im starting to believe that snake could get 2nd in a link/cloud/vincent/snake poll, which the finals very well could be. Link will leech away Snake brawl boost and Vincent probably won't hurt Cloud much. I doubt Snake can take 2nd in the final. http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/drupal/node/22?matchnum=2920&num=4. Let's just hope that Snake can beat Cloud in the semi-final with Sephiroth in that match. --- Steroid Snake's quest : To advance to the final for the third consecutive time.

Albion should rally on the same forum that he rallied for Arthas/Hogger on. That'll probably help out the Cube. --- Luster Soldier - Popular at school. ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ |

The best part is, Albion thinks he's special by "personally swaying the
results", while anybody with enough time on their hands could do the
same thing. It just happens that he's the only one with THAT much time
on his hands. Oh it must be nice to not have a job and not go to school. --- 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 think, if he gets his old snake photo, snake could beat anyone 1v1 outside of clinkeroth.
