GameFAQs Contests

I think I should help thee jump off this mortal coil.

~*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.

Noble Nine - Link, Cloud, Sephiroth, Mario, Crono, Solid Snake, Sonic, Samus and Mega Man.

Near-Elite - The Squall, Auron, Tifa, Vincent, Zelda, Kirby, etc group that has come at, near or even ahead of Noble Nine characters in the past.

The Fodder Line - A final X-Stat value of 15% or below.

For other information, surf the contest sites a bit. They have everything.

Way too much Charizard hype. This is about expected, on par with what hype-boosted Kratos would get on Duke. Sonic would do even better here.

Now you're underrating Duke.

Lightning would own Duke. Sonic is weaker, yes, but he's still at Squall/Vincent type of level most likely. 35 on him is no joke.

From the previous topic:

67% isn't what was expected. Granted, it'll still go down, but even 64% is higher then what most expected.

People highballing 'Zard pegged him at that if they used stats, Albion. This is about what's needed to fight Kratos pre-hype and win on a night match. 'Zard is gonna do worse due to how Kratos will have his ASV in their match, however, so I still think he'll take it and make it to the divisional finals.

Percentage dipping, but in terms of votals, Charizard isn't showing signs of slowing down yet.

Brilliant.

Just as soon as everyone stops saying how awesome Solid Snake is.

---
Which no one should, in either case

Crono's at Squall/Vincent level. Sonic has shown last contest he's below that when he lost cleanly to Auron.

Now Sonic could be taken down by the likes of Sora, Ganondorf, Luigi, and Kirby.

RBY is the best generation by several miles, and I am vastly with the majority opinion on this. People don't like the stuff past 151.

Maybe because he's a big awesome dragon? I haven't played Pokemon in over 8 years, but I remember Charizard being the ****.

You're allowed to be happy, but not to be a smug ass. Bio's acting like the latter.

Being happy doesn't mean having everyone else embarrassed about you agreeing with them. Like how I feel whenever Albion likes one of my favorite characters.

No they really aren't. Objectively the later gens are all better.

Some people don't realize there's a difference between being happy and being smug though, unfortunately.

This isn't bad though. I don't know what people are complaining about. I'm far from a Pokemon fan, and this doesn't bother me.

It's close between the 'Zard and OoT Link, unless you count all Links as one entity.

No?
