Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 666 (The Devil's ASCII Edition!)

UltimaterializerX | Posted 4/7/2009 9:22:07 AM | message detail
The next fun milestone is obviously God's ASCII Edition at 777. And with 666 being up, Oregon Trail is all set to begin it's victory tour! Sucks this couldn't come up during World of Warcraft's match, but what can you do.



~*creativename's contest site (all things contest!)*~

~*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)*~

~*Character Contest Histories (Thanks to Raven 2 for the info transfer)*~
http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Contest_Histories

~*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

~*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.

As much as I'd love to see Oregon Trail snag second tomorrow, it's not gonna happen. OT is basically the joke entry of this contest, but it isn't nearly as absurd a game as L-Block is a character, so it won't catch on enough to unseat Pac-Man.

I'm disappointed in Ulti.

I was expecting an Iron Maiden reference.

So for me, the biggest surprise of today isn't Tetris dominating, or DK with the ASV...it's that everyone is apparently surprised about Space Invaders sucking it up. I assumed it wouldn't even hit double digits from the beginning.

Metal Gear Solid's become a meme in a lot of ways, too.

Regardless, I know what you mean. I think OT will benefit from people who see the charm in its place here, yeah, but it should also get plenty of legit votes from people who played in US-schools. I'm also counting on MM2 to hurt Pac-Man to some degree due to Mega Man abusing Ms. Pac-Man in 2002 (seriously, wow at that blow-out). If those two work together enough, OT can pull one out. It's a risk, but I think it's a good one to risk.

I don't really keep up with anything, so I'm always late on figuring stuff out. I didn't know what WRYYYY was until a month or so ago, for instance.

Everyone knew that Tetris would SFF Space Invaders, it's just the degree to which it is doing it that is surprising everyone.

Space Invaders is looking to be bottom 5-10 this contest.

Well this topic is going to suck.

Anyway, DK finally wins the ASV and avoids choking....that was anticlimactic. Let's go Oregon Trail!

The Zelda name will still take Majora's Mask over Pokemon, but I do confess that is an awesome picture.

Pretty gutsy to argue pic advantage for Pokemon when MM has like a 95% chance of going into the match with a Link pic!

Question: Why did this happen? Does anyone knowwhy Punch-out lost to The ChokeMaster.

Did DK really get stronger is was litlle Mac "over-rated"?

If so, Why?

Is it? Judging from this match, I'd say it's more likely to go in with that wild-eyed purple mask. <_<

Also, considering it's (probably) box-arts, I think the only Zelda with Link will be..Twilight Princess, right?

Theoretically none of the pics have to be done with box arts. It's just what's easiest to do most of the time (but not all the time).

I'll totally be making a Wide-Eyed Purple Mask pic though, aw yeah stacking the odds

Someone should submit Ganondorf as a Majora's Mask match pic and see if BAllen takes the bait.

Oregon Trail does have the "if you have any interest in this game at all, you fidn it so cool it actually made it to the poll that you vote for it" vote, but isn't enough of a joke entry to get the "lol must vote joke entry" vote.

How big a meme vote does it have? I never heard it even had one in the first place.

My nick's Adamant. I have a "no 1" that looks stupid. Would've changed it if I could without losing karma. So it's Adamant, not Adamanto or Adamantno.

If there's any game that could be considered a joke, it's Portal, and even then it'll have a bit of legitimate strength.

Hell, I think Pong has more of a "lol" vote than Oregon Trail. Way too many ignorant kiddies considering Pong a joke of a game nowadays.

Sorry, not American here - how big was Oregon Trail in it's heyday, really?

Oregon Trail didn't really have a heyday so much as it had a "it's on every computer at my school from elementary school through high school and it's the only fun thing to do right now"-day.

<_<

At least that was my experience with it.
