GameFAQs Contests

Somebody better call 911 because FFX's about to slaughter this contest!

Also, we'll probably need this tomorrow if we get the bracket anyway.

~*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? Common Stats 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. This is the best example of SFF we've ever seen. However take some SFF labels with a grain of salt, as many people will slap it onto any match that doesn't make perfect sense.

Extrapolated Standings - The mathematical "strength" of a contestant that's determined based on their performance relative to the rest of the field. This number is typically based on the contest entrant's loss, but adjustments are sometimes made. See above for a watered down explanation for how the stats are calculated.

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

Crono > Sephiroth. 7 years of waiting, and perhaps many more to go. Remain steadfast.

Um, not to criticize science or anything, but wouldn't it be easier just to call it "the pink one"?

whoa what don't tease us like that!

Good Times,

I hope you know SBAllen that I'm about to cancel my date right now because of your post so you better not let me down.

Hey, he's looking at it some more, which obviously implies that he's finding the perfect matches. For example, putting SSBM and SSBB in the same division.
---
Dr Football is very good at predicting things, while I, honestly, am not.

no CZ that's terrible, and lol at all those people who think have a shot at a title that is rightfully mine.
---
Nipaa~

I'm about to leave for rehearsal, but I will say this: please put SSBM and SSBB in the same division and have FFX in the other half of the bracket. With that much done, it's hard to mess up the rest of the heavy-hitters.

Also, if Braid is in the bracket, please try to keep it from receiving the blow-out of the contest!
