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'm screenshoting them all and will have a nice collage prepared for after when Sonic is declared the winner. I might even have a youtube video where it zooms in on Koala's username and destroys his reputation. |

just got back from a long ass weekend, way too tired to go back and see what the hell's been going on, but what the hell dude that wouldve been eliminated 2nd round if not for a severe fanbase split is now beating sonic to get into the semi's. 4-ways are the dumbest thing ever confirmed --- mmm test icicles |

so what are people attributing this result to? rSFF or just Sonic characters seriously blowing ass in this format? If anyone really thinks Kirby > Sonic 1v1 let me kick you in the nuts RIGHT NOW. --- mmm test icicles |

Cloud>Kirby. Let's do this. But seriously, Sonic has been awful this contest. If Kirby's my contest hero(and he is) Sonic's my contest zero. After the people who vote stuffed for Crono. You know who you are. Also, Kirby would NOT have been eliminated in the second round if Big Boss and Raiden didn't split. He may have lost to Big Boss, but would NOT have lost to Master Chief. --- Free of lilih related Tyranny since 18/10/08. Mother 3. That is all. |

Magus looks worse and worse by the year, while Crono has a shot at the finals. Funny how that works. But Crono's win does beg the question: Why is it that Magus never was able to pull of a win like that, yet Frog and Crono were? --- Isaac and Princess Kumatora for SSB4!
