Hey!
I grew up with Yellow! I remember on one run-through I gave away
Pikachu or whatever, and I really missed him not following me around
anymore. --- holy crap, you used an apostrophe to make a word plural at least 3 times in that post. that's like cryptonite to me if I was batman - Bako Ikporamee |

If that match pic was a well-known battle sprite, sure, but that might be the WORST possible picture Pikachu could have gotten. RE2 Leon was far, far worse for Leon than any sprite Pikachu could have gotten. He looks like a generic nobody cop in that picture. Not to mention, you seem to be hindsight arguing for Pikachu! "That sprite was released back when people hated Pikachu's guts, and so seeing that sprite will remind people of the times when they hated him!" I don't think that's how it works... --- "So cold.

From: UltimaterializerX | #359 Sprites in general look like crap aside from SNES and Genesis sprites, honestly. That doesn't stop them from invoking nostalgia.

It's because I first subtracted 95,000 from the total votes in each match, and then divided the remainder by the percentages. Fallout 3's round 1 match got the least votes of any match in the contest, by a good margin, which is why it looks awful in these stats. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |

Let's
not talk about the Super Bowl, or how Colts management has just
finished up another year of failing their players. As good as Bill
Polian can be, his hamartia has cost that team a good 2 or 3 rings. And no, I don't at all blame Peyton Manning for that pick.

looking at it again, considering that they're not adjusted for SFF or
LFF or anything like that at all, I'd say they're surprisingly good.
Probably beats raw 4-way x-stats, actually. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |

From: red sox 777 | #365 Missed the part about total votals for the match. Makes sense then, though I don't know why that match would have low votals, especially considering all four games involved were decently big-name games. Hell if I remember whether anything notable happened that day, though. --- Not Wylvane |
HaRRicH | Posted 2/7/2010 10:06:59 PM | message detail |
Peyton
had a fine game outside of that pick and the Saints played like
champions once they started putting points on the board. It's hard to
fault Peyton much. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

And
while I'm kinda bummed about the Colts losing, I'm fine with the Saints
winning. Brees is probably my favorite NFL player after Peyton himself,
and I'm glad he got his ring because he deserves one. Makes me want to give a big ol' "TAKE THAT, SAN DIEGO!" for getting rid of Brees to keep Rivers. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

Literally
seconds before the play, I was thinking how impressive it was that both
QBs had gone the whole game without throwing a pick. But yeah, Peyton
played well, but what can you do. Alucard saved up eight ****ing years
for this Plan. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
UltimaterializerX | Posted 2/7/2010 10:09:48 PM | message detail |
It's
funny how the Colts played to not get injured (which is a coaching
decision), but lost because of injuries and bad coaching. They played a
soft defense after the first quarter, leaving an injured secondary to
defend against Drew Brees. Good job, Coyer and Caldwell. And what
pisses me off the most is how the Colts NEVER LEARN from stuff like
this. They've been making these same mistakes as far back as 1999, when
they went 13-3 and lost to the Titans in their first game. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´`·.,¸¸,.·´ The wheel of fate is turning. |
red sox 777 | Posted 2/7/2010 10:10:26 PM | message detail |
Well,
just looking at the votes each character got gives you garbage results.
This is because the variation in total votes wasn't nearly as large as
the variation in strength; even the match with the lowest votals scored
above 100,000, while the highest scoring matches were only around
140,000. So, to account for that I arbitrarily subtracted 95,000 from
all the matches, and the result is stats that look (very) roughly
correct. Remember there's no adjustments for SFF or LFF or anything of
the kind- that's why LTTP is so low for instance. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |

From: red sox 777 | #376 Eh, I think FO3's R1 match is more a weird anomaly than anything. Not sure whether incorporating total votals from each match is a big deal or not, or whether it'd be wise to ignore them or not. I still think there's something to your stats, though. I guess you can blame LFF for the highlighted oddities, like you said. CoD4 being higher can be explained away by two big-profile Nintendo games earning more votals in that match while splitting their own fanbase, giving CoD4 the edge, plus CoD4 benefiting from the same thing later except with Brawl, which would garner more votes than MGS4 anyway. So you could explain CoD4 being higher as benefiting from LFF. Might be able to do the same thing for SM64, really, to explain it being below CT. --- Not Wylvane |

Maybe
you guys were onto something about Sackboy fans being fans of QB sacks
as well (or ToS fans are nerds who don't like football)! Kratos's peak
hours were during the time when the Super Bowl was on, and he promptly
dropped back off after it was over! Vote totals kinda tapered off
during the time when the game was on, and went back up a bit after it
was over as well! XD at Kratos doing well during the Super Bowl Vote. Didn't expect vote totals to drop off with the Super Bowl and go back up again after it ended. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

So you could explain CoD4 being higher as benefiting from LFF. Might be able to do the same thing for SM64, really, to explain it being below CT. Yeah, I'm very happy with these stats actually, considering that they don't account for LFF. Even something like CT/SM64- those stats predict SM64 to get 47.34% on CT, which is only about 4-5% off of what it actually got in rounds 2 and 3. Considering the top person in the oracle right now has an average of 44.71, meaning he's averaged being off by more than 5% (well, maybe a bit less given the penalty for getting the winner wrong) so far this contest, if these stats could predict every match within 5% they'd be a huge success. As it is, I wouldn't expect results anywhere near that good from looking at votals, so the bar for satisfaction here is much lower. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |

know Balthier's the fan favorite from FFXII, but I'm starting to wonder
if it's different at Gamefaqs for some reason. This can't be all
FFXII's cast is worth. It's an FF game. A non-old-school FF game, even. You think maybe Ashe or Basch could do better than this? Or would they just flop even harder? ...yeah, I already asked this near the start of the match, but nobody was talking about Balthier then. (And who can blame them!) |
