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. --- The Gamer In Me His dark secret is he's really Spark Brushel in disguise.

And the worst part is, there's no way Cloud/Tifa › Link/Zelda anymore. Oh Romance Rumble, I hardly knew ye. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png |
What a shame. --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!" |
I'd rather watch Link 90/10 Ganondorf than Link/Ganondorf 60/40 Batman/Joker. Though I guess the latter would be nice to shut everyone up. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy IV (FF2US) http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3445328 |
Link/Ganon had 61.37% at the freeze, for reference. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
The board vote is going to be interesting --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Rivalry Rumble: 117/160 Today: Cloud/Sephiroth |
I know it's probably been said a lot but #1 is hands down the best match pic of the contest. --- "I am riding the Poke-wave, using the metaphorical Surf and hopping on my Blastoise, all the way to Mario vs Bowser." - RPGLord |

bah, Trainers needed to have at least 70% right now to have a shot at winning this match --- http://i42.tinypic.com/11jol1t.gif |

Can Cloud gain 10% from the board vote here? I don't think Trainers are safe even with 60% at the freeze. --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |

100-vote barrier broken. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy IV (FF2US) http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3445328 |
Looks like the Updater site broke for this match --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
Updater isn't active because the poll number is two higher than the last. Should have expected that with 64.jpg. |
This is beautiful. I hope it goes on for the full 24 hours. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
Mario > Link let's do this FIGHT THE LAW --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
Based on two minutes of data, this clearly proves Mario is the strongest character on the site and Link is always rSFFing him. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy IV (FF2US) http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3445328 |
man that pokeboard vote and that ff7 board vote --- Nice catch BlAcK TuRtLe. But too bad your ass got SAAAAAAAAAAACKED.*tackles* |
Cloud/Seph are still going to run away with this, but it's fun to see anyways. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |
Already stalling. Disappointed. --- Fight like dragons, have no fear, swords are made of STEEEEEEEEL~ |
Already under 60% Cloud/Sephiroth's victory is guaranteed. --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |
So Mario > Link could actually be POSSIBLE! --- I think I broke the LOL |
Lead of 145 at the freeze. The lead seemed to steadily increase throughout tbqh. Will probably still lose though =( --- Oops! I'm breaking the fourth wall! http://imgon.net/di-CFMD.gif |
Also, it's ironic that the match that literally counts for absolutely nothing could be the only really good match we have. --- http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/8718/leonflowchart.png |
Website got confused because of the skipped ID number, working now. http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/drupal/node/22?matchnum=4573&num=2 --- thengamer.com/guru thengamer.com/xstats board8.wikia.com I'd search B8 for The Show if I were you. *wink wink* |
So whats the biggest change in % from the freeze in a match? (not counting L-Block) --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
This will be fun to watch while we wait for Link to come in and destroy Mario again. |
So right now... Trainers > Link haha --- "I am riding the Poke-wave, using the metaphorical Surf and hopping on my Blastoise, all the way to Mario vs Bowser." - RPGLord |

59.17% at the freeze. I said that I'd disappear in another thread, but the possibility of the Pokemon trainers collapsing and potentially losing despite a 59-41 beatdown after 5 minutes is just too good to pass up. What % would the FFVII guys need so that the Snakes finish ahead of the premier Street Fighters and/or the Metroid team? --- Currently Playing - StarCraft: Brood War |
