Probably the last topic of the season.

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. --- FastFalcon is in my sig. How can this be. http://www.rosebride.com/lyn/otakon2k6/chronotrigger.jpg |

Not that bad, actually, since CD-I Link here's looking to have typical
joke character trends while the other 3 rise with the day. This may actually be a match! >_< --- http://www.court-records.net/manga/4koma/(eng)4koma2.png |

CD-I/Toon might be a match. Young Link is just going to get beat down more. He's yet to have an update of 9%. He's not going to be competing. Curious to see if Link can triple all the others combined in an update at some point today. --- That'd be impressive. |

The morning should be the worst time for CD-I Link, since it was
L-Block's and WCC's worst time too. That was when Ryu made a comeback
on L-Block and started building up a big lead on him. That was also
when Mega Man made a comeback on WCC and took the lead. --- Luster Soldier - Popular at school. ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ |

Young Link is just going to get beat down more. He's yet to have an update of 9%. His best update was 8.24%. His worst update was an epic 2.44%. I'll laugh if he can pull off an update even worse than Lucas's epic 1.91% update. --- Luster Soldier - Popular at school. ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ |

Also, since the first freeze CD-I has lost nearly 10%. A collapse far worse then even L-Block is on the cards with 15 hours left. --- Shocking. |

Also, from the last topic: Sonic Knuckles Tails Magus You know, I'd almost be tempted to pick Magus > Knuckles. I can't articulate quite why, since Knuckles didn't exactly impress any more than Sonic or Tails did, but I feel like in a straight Sonic character poll Knuckles might end up looking like the fan favorite. --- My Contest Hero: Zack Fair Winner, speeds by, FastFalcon the Guru... |

Time | Classic | Young | Toon | CD-I EBV | 48.83% | 6.15% | 13.55% | 31.46% | (0:00-0:05) PHV | 55.38% | 5.64% | 13.18% | 25.80% | (0:00-1:00) FNV | 59.55% | 5.78% | 14.32% | 20.35% | (1:00-6:00) BSV | 64.30% | 6.07% | 14.86% | 14.77% | (6:00-9:00) Classic Link did horrible in the EBV and PHV while CD-I Link did well here. Young Link is staying somewhat constant here while Toon Link improves himself in the FNV. CD-I Link shows the trends of a joke character and of course drops greatly after the PHV ends. Toon Link barely outperformed CD-I Link in the BSV and almost lost the BSV from doing bad in the last hour of that time period. By the hours: Time | Classic | Young | Toon | CD-I 1:00 | 55.38% | 5.64% | 13.18% | 25.80% 2:00 | 56.59% | 5.66% | 13.22% | 24.53% 3:00 | 58.71% | 6.08% | 14.27% | 20.94% 4:00 | 61.44% | 5.86% | 14.95% | 17.75% 5:00 | 62.50% | 5.80% | 14.97% | 16.74% 6:00 | 63.86% | 5.42% | 16.06% | 14.66% 7:00 | 63.28% | 6.59% | 15.40% | 14.74% 8:00 | 64.66% | 5.62% | 15.18% | 14.53% 9:00 | 64.72% | 6.10% | 14.15% | 15.02% Near the end of the BSV, Classic Link managed to pull a 69.52% update (his highest so far). Expect some 70%+ updates in the ASV. --- Luster Soldier - Popular at school. ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ |

Wow, Classic Link is really taking off. This might be like the biggest percentage swing ever. Yesterday's chart: Time | Link | Crono | Solid Snake | Cloud EBV | 32.77% | 13.95% | 33.87% | 19.40% | (0:00-0:05) PHV | 32.81% | 13.29% | 33.04% | 20.86% | (0:00-1:00) FNV | 30.72% | 12.53% | 31.15% | 25.61% | (1:00-6:00) BSV | 34.51% | 11.22% | 28.20% | 26.07% | (6:00-9:00) DSV | 33.24% | 12.50% | 27.62% | 26.63% | (9:00-14:30) ASV | 35.53% | 11.74% | 25.21% | 27.52% | (14:30-22:00) SNV | 32.81% | 13.47% | 24.88% | 28.84% | (22:00-24:00) Speaking of big percentage swings, look at the difference between Cloud and Snake from start to finish. Snake leads Link for most of the night, but it's basically over from there. Crono doesn't do much of anything, obviously, but he basically goes up and down a percent or two throughout. Yesterday's stats: Link – 50.00% Solid Snake – 45.18% Cloud Strife – 43.88% Crono – 26.64% Lower Half of the bracket stats comin' up. Final stats probably won't be done today. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Temporarily Sidetracked |

Auron ends up ahead of Mega Man, just barely! I still don't like that I have nothing to base Squall off of (from this contest anyway). I might set him equal to (or slightly above!!) Auron and redo these. Cloud SFF'd Squall and Sora so bad that Tim and Drake ended up below Lucas. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Temporarily Sidetracked |

I don't mind Squall being adjusted, but I don't know how fair it is to
start him over Auron. Squall couldn't beat Sonic twice last year while
Auron did it his first time this year. I would also personally take
Tifa > Sora, so when I see Squall barely outdid Sora while Tifa
barely outdid Auron against Sephiroth...I think Squall/Auron are
statistically equal/close, but I don't think anything really says
Squall > Auron based on what happened this year. Splitting hairs, but I wouldn't want to see Squall higher than equal to Auron...which is still damn good and only a little lower. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

Squall couldn't beat Sonic twice last year while Auron did it his first time this year. Well, I doubt Auron beats Sonic under the same circumstances Squall had last year either. Tifa still ends up a little ahead of Sora this way, too. And besides, it's not like these stats are worth anything anyway. --- FastFalcon is without a doubt the best Guru I've ever heard of, savvy? http://qirien.icecavern.net/final_fantasy/icons/squall_bunnysuit.gif |

No, it doesn't. Classic Link winning this poll proves nothing. Is
anyone surprised he's blowing everything else out of the water? Does it
prove Toon Link is a little weaker? Not at all. This is a Favorite Link

vote over Cloud?" poll. --- FastFalcon is without a doubt the best Guru I've ever heard of, savvy? http://qirien.icecavern.net/final_fantasy/icons/squall_bunnysuit.gif |

True enough on the stats, and I'll agree Sonic would have beaten Auron
in R3 last year if he were in Squall's place...but in R4, he may have
stolen it if Solid/Squall hurt each other; Auron's more removed from
Solid's prime than Squall due to both time and console. Hard to say
though. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

CATS – 19.22% Revolver Ocelot – 19.17% Hogger – 18.99% The fact Ocelot is in the company of 2 weak joke characters is awesome --- FastFalcon05 sure knows how to fill out a Guru Contest bracket better than I! |

No, I meant Cloud's now shadowy win over Link. Cloud needed insane picture advantage, and L-Block needed the entirety of the Internet! http://beatme101.com/images/CD-i%20Link.jpg --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... FastFalcon own me... in the Guru Contest! |

Insane pic advantage? Psh, maybe if it were the sprite round! We know that's where Magus worked his voodoo! --- FastFalcon is without a doubt the best Guru I've ever heard of, savvy? http://qirien.icecavern.net/final_fantasy/icons/squall_bunnysuit.gif |

I could come up with 2 reasons why Classic Link is overperforming: 1. The Classic Link option just happens to be the first one. For most voters who aren't sure who to vote, they'll probably pick the first option. 2. The match picture plays a role here. For Classic Link's picture, it says "Link" below it rather than "Classic". That probably draws most voters to vote for Classic Link as if it were the real Link. I bet if it said "Classic" below it instead, the blowout might not be as big. --- Luster Soldier - Popular at school. ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ |

I don't think it does- Young Link and Toon Link are getting SFF'd hard,
but what would you expect? This is the most severe fanbase overlap
we've ever seen- the same character. Either of them would beat Cloud in
a poll tomorrow. If anything anti-champion voting has been shown to be
a legit factor, although Link had plenty of reason to boost from 2003
to 2004. It'd be nice if my reasoning (anti-champion voting) for taking
Cloud > Link in 2003 was actually correct though! --- Congratulations to Crono for making his first true finals match, your 5 time contest champion, Link, and the Guru Champion FastFalcon |

In that case, I agree, this match has little bearing on 2k3. It does
show that Toon Link is weaker than regular Link when paired against
each other, but indirectly against Cloud, this match proves nothing in
that regard. Although I do agree normal Link vs Cloud in 2k3, Link wins. --- "Your daddy was quite the warrior. Do you measure up to him?" "I don't know. I didn't bring my ruler." |
