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. !yawa tsoP --- ·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.· http://socksmakepeoplesexy.net/images/ff102/gullwings.gif |

I wonder if Bacon is going to wait for a good submitted name before doing vote-ins. That would suck. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
I've already submitted a good one so no worries. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, Rest in peace Mitch Stuekerjuergen :( |
We don't need to know the name of the contest to have vote-ins, so hopefully Bacon doesn't unnecessarily stall the process. --- http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/7760/222bj.jpg |
made 3 noms total don't really care about this contest at all! --- http://i1127.photobucket.com/albums/l636/MasterKingJC/131758304541402.gif http://www.yourgamercards.net/trophy/a/CaptainRockman.png |
From: SHINE GET 64 | #005 More than me. All I did was Mario/Sonic and the Guru nom. --- Wylvane Guru Contest Winner Black Turtle is a wonderful user. |
Banjo vs. Gruntilda is literally second place here. What a weak group of rivals --- http://media.animevice.com/uploads/0/4479/467785-one_piece_we_go_super.jpg http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
Let's go Crono/Anyone! --- 90s games > 00s games |
go go go EJ/Queen Slug-for-a-Butt --- A Fudgesicle is a frozen, ice cream-like snack. OR IS IT |
Well, we knew this was a bad idea because this was what we were going to end up with! --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |
why is banjo doing so well --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Hopefully Yuri/Flynn make it --- .... |
who the heck are The Kid and The Guy btw? <_< --- A Fudgesicle is a frozen, ice cream-like snack. OR IS IT |
From: GrapefruitKing | #013 From I Wanna Be The Guy --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |
Yeah,
I'm pretty surprised The Kid/The Guy are doing so well. They'll
probably drop off some, but I would expect them to be absolute fodder. --- "Ahem! There is *sand* on my *boot*!"--Kefka Black Turtle beat me, Yesmar in the Fall 2010 Guru Contest! |
I don't know who they are, but I voted for them because the names are catchy, and I didn't like any of the other rivalries here. --- 90s games > 00s games |
It really should have been Lightning/Snow. I didn't even remember who Barthandelus was until I looked it up. --- http://media.animevice.com/uploads/0/4479/467785-one_piece_we_go_super.jpg http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
Lightning in last place, all is right in the world. --- Currently playing: League of Legends, Chrono Cross. Current Projects: Fool's Overture, CYOA: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/60143513 |
Assuming 4 get in from each vote in, looks like we have: Yuna Vs. Seymour Banjo Vs. Gruntilda Raiden Vs. Vamp CJ Vs. Tenpenny (The others that are close are probably more likely to die off after the board vote.) --- "Ahem! There is *sand* on my *boot*!"--Kefka Black Turtle beat me, Yesmar in the Fall 2010 Guru Contest! |
Yuna hang in there! --- Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son of a ***** in space. |
Lightning/Barty doing so badly gives me hope for this contest. Maybe people will actually take the rivalries into account?!? --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
From: GintokiSaotome | #017 That sounds more like a problem with you than a problem with XIII, but Lightning/Snow was a better rivalry anyway. There was nothing personal between Lightning and Bart. Although the fact that it's doing so bad when Yuna and Lightning are probably comparable in strength may be an indication that people are weighing the entire rivalry into an account when voting. Or I'm probably just reading too much into the first five minutes, as we are wont to do. --- http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/8516/whatisdesiresig.gif |
Also, this poll represents how much of an INJUSTICE it was that Charles wasn't allowed in. He would be massacring this poll. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Banjo leads lmao --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/5nw45i.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Yuna ..;0 --- .... |
LIGHTNING! Damn, I really wanted to see her in a contest. --- Menji+ http://backloggery.com/menji/sig.gif http://www.yourgamercards.net/trophy/24/nb-menji.png |
Banjo in first, knew he's been underrated. --- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Black Turtle for winning the guru contest. |
Wow, Yuna died. Yuri/Flynn looking good though --- http://media.animevice.com/uploads/0/4479/467785-one_piece_we_go_super.jpg http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
My god, the fodder! --- If you are reading this signature, then you are wasting a great deal of your time. |
None of that made sense --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Huh. I didn't expect Yuna/Seymour to be the one to get the board vote. --- http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/8516/whatisdesiresig.gif |
I dunno if Lightning would still be as strong as Yuna now. Possibly the hype made her stronger than the actual game did. --- 90s games > 00s games |
Also, The Kid/The Guy went up. We need a poll tracker. Now. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Oh that FF Board Vote. --- "Ahem! There is *sand* on my *boot*!"--Kefka Black Turtle beat me, Yesmar in the Fall 2010 Guru Contest! |
Banjo vs. Gruntilda 1st place Lightning vs. Barthandelus last... hmmm... |
From: red sox 777 | #032 It'd be closer than this, and I'd be very surprised if Yuna SFF'd Lightning. It's not like Yuna's very strong to begin with. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
little mac / sandman should be winning this! top 3 are pretty bad, though. --- peace comes from within |
From: KamikazePotato | #021 Or maybe people hate on bad characters! Can't rule that out! From: red sox 777 | #032 Very possible given FFXIII turned out to be on rails. Hell, I'd bet a sig line on it being the case! --- Currently playing: League of Legends, Chrono Cross. Current Projects: Fool's Overture, CYOA: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/60143513 |
Well,
female FF characters have always been fairly good with the early vote.
And there aren't any obvious early vote magnets here. --- 90s games > 00s games |
Snow would have probably been a better rival for Lightning. --- Watch me play games! http://www.livestream.com/dabu |
KamikazePotato | Posted 10/4/2011 12:11:34 AM | message detail | quote Also, The Kid/The Guy went up. We need a poll tracker. Now. Before the poll started, I got myself set up to start tracking this poll. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
so.... top 3 make it in the bracket? 4, maybe? --- A Fudgesicle is a frozen, ice cream-like snack. OR IS IT |
I
wish that Bacon told us beforehand how many make it from each match. It
would be more enjoyable to keep up with these if we knew. --- http://media.animevice.com/uploads/0/4479/467785-one_piece_we_go_super.jpg http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
Haven't the Top 5-6 from each poll made it in? --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
And Lightning could still have dropped from 2011 and be above Yuna. Although it's not like Lightning was that high up last year anyway. Only about 27.5% on Link. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
If I see creativename on LoL any time soon I'll check with him on the status of things. --- ~Acting on Impulse~ Black Turtle still didn't MAJORA'S MASK |
Haven't the Top 5-6 from each poll made it in? But that's when we had 128 entrants --- A Fudgesicle is a frozen, ice cream-like snack. OR IS IT |
...The Kid/The Guy is in 5th place. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Although it's not like Lightning was that high up last year anyway. Only about 27.5% on Link. Where is that number coming from? Sonic himself couldn't get 30% on Link. --- "Ahem! There is *sand* on my *boot*!"--Kefka Black Turtle beat me, Yesmar in the Fall 2010 Guru Contest! |
Hmm?
Yuna's not that weak- she did pretty well on Zack. Zack did better on
Megaman than Lightning did on Sonic. The gap between Megaman and Sonic
is probably at least 55/45. --- 90s games > 00s games |
