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. --- (|| ' ' ||) Not changing my sig until EBA2/Ouendan 3 is announced. (4/22/08) . /|_|\ http://imgcake.com/img/40/all_eba.jpg |

Yesmar would have got it if he'd kept on with the Britishmen. They had
one glorious mathc and then got a brief mention in a match later on.
Since then we've longed for them but haven't received them. --- Sad. |

The one thing that makes me a little worried for Sora is thinking about
what Aeris did. That match probably should have been around 55-45% and
Aeris did substanially better. Now I know that Sora has held up against
Squall several times, but FFVII is a whole different factor, and last
time the two faced off, it was not pretty. --- "All you base are belong to us."--CATS |

Is this gonna be the closest a match has ever been the entire time? The lead for neither side ever exceeded 500 --- http://news.cnet.com/i/bto/20071030/cube-2_540x618.jpg http://card.mygamercard.net/aero/Albion+Hero.png |

I think he's done for, almost 500 votes behind with only 3 hours left
and people voting zero instead of mega man when they're trying to rally
him. So the cube advances thanks to Albion however i don't think he is capable of getting him through the next round since he would have to make Snake lose to do that. For tomorrows match Cloud will snag first no doubt, but the real fight here will be Sora and Squall. Mewtwo is pretty much dead since he barely beat Midna. Squall may take 2nd this time as he isn't cursed with such a terrible pic this time. Sora has shown great strength this year and he might sneak past Squall here for 2nd. Unless Albion can muster some sort of Mewtwo Rush this match wont be as interesting. --- "If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it.
