I know this is hideously early, but I want to make sure Raven 2 gets
some credit in the opening post for all his work in transferring all
the character bios and contest history over to the Wiki. We owe him a
pretty big debt of gratitude, thanks for the favor bro :D And since it's all now on the Wiki, keeping info updated at the end of each contest (or during) is now a community effort. It got far too big for me alone to handle. Feel free to update how you see fit, but please do not change any bio information (fixing typos and adding info is fine) or vandalize. We (wiki admins) will have to ban your IP if you do, the contest histories are meant to be taken seriously =/ And obviously........ SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!! ~*creativename's contest site (all things contest!)*~ www.gamefaqscontests.com ~*The Board 8 Wiki (lots of useful contest and board information, including all past Post-Contest Analysis from Ulti, transience, Ed Bellis and others)*~ http://board8.wikia.com/ ~*NGamer64's Archive Sites (good stuff!) and (LOL) X-Stats Sim (some offensive language)*~ http://thengamer.com/gamefaqs/ http://thengamer.com/xstats http://thengamer.com/stats ~*Character Contest Histories (Thanks to Raven 2 for the info transfer)*~ http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Contest_Histories ~*TRE's poll listing (every poll!)*~ http://members.shaw.ca/teamrocketelite/Polls.html ~*aprosenf's poll script*~ http://web.mit.edu/adamrose/Public/allpolls.txt ~*Simple Explanation of Extrapolated Standings*~ A = Strongest Character B = Character Weaker than A C = Character Weaker than B To figure out a character's Xsts Percentage ---> [(CvB)(BvA)]/50 = CvA To compare how C would do against B ---> [(CvA)/(BvA)]*50 = CvB To figure out how B would do against A ---> [(CvA)/(CvB)]*50 = BvA ~*All the match pics*~ http://sc2k5.com/gallery/index.php ~*Acronyms and Percentages for Dummies*~ http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Acronyms_and_Percentages ~*Say What? 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. |

Who has Link not killed? Just Sonic, cause he nuked the field in the battle royale, and I know he destroyed Crono and Megaman. --- Gunner is, what is the word... passionate. but i think that MichaelWClark dude is far crazier than anything Gunner has posted. Posted by Mark Milton |

Snake would be tied for Cloud in that case, since Cloud hasn't beaten Crono before. --- DQVIII LLG - level 1/6/10/24, Marcello defeated (12 attempts) Brawl FC: 0344-9611-6716 |

| I don't know if this is over - Link's morning vote
is damn good, Snake's got the daytime, and if Snake can grab the lead
back (spoilers: he should) then Snake could go into the afterschool
vote with the entire internet on alert. Link should be looked at as the favourite, but Cloud was a lock. --- xyzzy "I hope you are this idiot only in the internet ^__^" -linkhatesganon |
