Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 821

Fun Fact: 8/21 is my anniversary. ~*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 ~*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://www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/index.php ~*Acronyms and Percentages for Dummies*~ http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Acronyms_and_Percentages ~*Poll Start Times*~ http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Character_Battle_8_Poll_Start_Times ~*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. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´`·.,¸¸,.·´ Make me a perfect lie. |

From: UltimaterializerX | #483 You taking the time to respond to me constantly must mean you have a great personal life. And you're just making things up at this point. Why would I complain about Cube? I didn't even come in this topic or say anything during that match... since he was up against hokey fodder anyway I don't see what the point of that would be. Crying =/= Disagreeing. Grow up and accept they're joke characters. Taking such offense to me saying characters are jokes is extremely silly, they aren't your babies. --- :> |

From: vcharon | Posted: 2/7/2010 12:47:53 AM | #006 My personal life is quite awesome. I don't spend half my posts being wrong about whether a video game character is a joke or not. You haven't played Fallout 3 and you're coming off like a gigantic crybaby. Period, end of story. Great game, by the way. You should play it. But omg, Vault Boy must be a joke character so I doubt you actually will. It would destroy your recourse. --- "Like, he thinks about Starcraft while having sex (his girlfriend said it was the best ever, so he must've been doing something right)." -G0EMON |

From: UltimaterializerX | #029 You're the one being Mr. Serious, like a little icon from a video game really needs you to rush to its defense. Why does it really matter to you if people think he's a joke character? It doesn't change anything about his strength or the match at all. --- :> |
