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, Missingno 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. --- ------ --------- |

Chrono Trigger seems to have done well with sprites. I dunno. Frog faced Snake. I dunno if I'd blame Link/Magus on Magus's sprite as much as I'd blame it on Link's, if I'd blame that on the sprite at all. We got Mario/Crono twice in the sprite round, and I don't think it affected much. --- Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created. |

although Sephiroth has an indirectly worse board vote. Cloud's board vote seems to be worse than Sephiroth's, by looking at both of their round 1 matches. Sephiroth was about 1.5% higher than Cloud at the board vote in round 1 and Marth should be stronger than Ridley. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

their matches despite Vincent looking awful in that pic. --- Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created. |

Cloud's
only doing 3.7% worse now then he did against Ridley. He could still
approach 70%. Which is fine by him. Falcon would wreck Ridley. I was
still hoping for 70% though. I suppose even Link with all his flopping
this contest may still have a chance at beating him. |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 3/9/2010 9:28:57 PM | message detail |
From: LeonhartFour | #008 Because the CT cast exists ONLY in one game where they're given sprites and nothing but. Cloud's popularity is chiefly FFVII and could be lightly peppered with a bit of KH and KHII. Now, I doubt these sprite pics hurt the new FF characters significantly, but there's no reason to believe it does any favors for them. Chain of Memories is the weakest game any of them has been in, and none of their fans know them as sprites first. CT is the opposite. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

That sprite is from Resident Evil Gaiden. And considering that's (probably) the most obscure Resident Evil game... Things WILL get ugly for Leon. --- "Here I go! Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |

Man, Cloud was able to get 60% on Samus in 2004 with an Ehrgeiz pic! And I'd say Ehrgeiz is probably more obscure than Chain of Memories, if I had to guess. --- Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created. |

Where
do you guys think Cloud ends up? Captain Falcon probably got the
biggest boost from Brawl. Man, I still remember the time he got nearly
tripled by Crono. What kind of boost does that give Captain Falcon
since then? --- -Heals severely dry skin -18 hour moisturization -Fragrance free -With Vitamin E |

That's
what happens when you're Cloud and facing a strong board vote
character. But that last update was not as good as the previous ones.
How awesome would it be if CF stalled out the hour at 62.5%? |
Hochimihnister | Posted 3/9/2010 9:33:30 PM | message detail |
I predict Cloud ends up with 67.5%. Which is disappointing. |
