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. --- "I'm no match for you, oh divine king of all the internet." -Lightning Strikes |

If
xenoblade was a multiplat like ME3 and Borders 2 it would comfortably
win this poll. Also LOL @ P4Arena in Europe. Game is not out there yet
it has more votes than sonic racing. --- http://i.imgur.com/YjzIx.gif |
Only
took 8 days to fill up a stats topic during the off-season when we
haven't had a contest in over a year now. That's got to be impressive. XIII_socks posted... Kygnkfjsfyehjcwgloy XD at XIII. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

To continue discussion from the last topic. Did RE6 do poorly sales wise? I think even ORC met its quota. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
well according to wikipedia: "Capcom announced that it has shipped 4.5 million copies worldwide, setting a new record for the company. In October 2012, the game sold 806,000 copies in the United States. According to Capcom, however, sales "weakened" following the strong start, with the publisher admitting that the game would not meet their goals, lowering financial projections for their fiscal year as a result." --- Congratulation to SuperNiceDog.

From: charmander6000 | #496 To the board going from losing to Call of Duty 4 to getting 38% on TP makes it seem that there was no SFF. Heck not even breaking 60% on Pokemon RSE wasn't considered a good performance either. Sure you can argue Pokemon DPP LFF it, but unless we're talking something big it doesn't make SMG look that much better. Again, this is just silly. SMG has faced CoD4 before. Compare the two performances. My case. It is rested. Excellent 500 by the way Yo, even if it made me argue across topics. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
Well their goal was 7 million or something ridiculous. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
Again, this is just silly. SMG has faced CoD4 before. Compare the two performances. My case. It is rested. Game of the Year polls have shown to be inaccurate. You would have to give SMG ALL of Pokemon DPP's votes for the game to have the same performance as it did in 2007. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the guru contest. |
ME3 with the miracle victory tomorrow! But yeah comparing GOTY results to contest results doesn't correlate well. Otherwise MW2 would have scored 80% on Dissidia in GOTD. --- Leonhart posting from his phone |
Also
I did enjoy the "so you are saying you're right because you're right"
followed by "well of course they SFF'd each other how could they not" I mean it's not like we ever saw Nintendo face each other without SFF before. Both of them being Nintendo does not automatically mean there had to be SFF. --- Leonhart posting from his phone |
Wow, this is close. Only on Gamefaqs would a JRPG even be in the running for GoTY these days. --- http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/early-lead/files/2013/01/lewis1.jpg We'll miss you, Ray |
oh god --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Uh oh, weird results early on. But maybe that's just Xenoblade's board vote. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
this is a fun five minutes --- xyzzy |
Xenoblade leads to start but it fell from here yesterday, right? --- Pokemon VGC2012 Canadian Nationals - 8th place |

From: Team Rocket Elite | #017 Xenoblade leads to start but it fell from here yesterday, right? Didn't Borderlands 2 fall from the board vote too, though? --- http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/early-lead/files/2013/01/lewis1.jpg We'll miss you, Ray |
If it's close, do you think we'll get another "Final, Final Vote"? --- Pokemon VGC2012 Canadian Nationals - 8th place |
Yeah, Borderlands 2 had a monster early vote last time for some reason. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Team Rocket Elite posted... If it's close, do you think we'll get another "Final, Final Vote"? Maybe, I don't know. If it looks like it could happen, someone should send in a feedback ticket asking SBAllen about this. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
any stats on where BL2/Xenoblade were after 5 minutes last time? I feel like BL2 went down significantly from here while Xenoblade went up. am I crazy? --- xyzzy |

Based on these trends, this should be an easy win for Xenoblade. I don't trust that though. --- http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/early-lead/files/2013/01/lewis1.jpg We'll miss you, Ray |
Walking Dead! good taste combining for the greater good --- xyzzy |
From: KamikazePotato | #027 I'm wondering what Xenoblade was overlapping with last time to let this happen. TWD. No seriously, those are the two super-well-received and respected niche games that no one played. Put TWD here and it also beats ME3, at least in the opening five mins. --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/5nw45i.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Xenoblade GOTY 2010 2011 2012 --- From his looks Magus is Macho Man Randy Savage as an anime zombie. The black wind howls, and one of you will snap into a Slim Jim ooh yeeeah! -sonicblastpunch |
yeah that's more like it still gonna beat ME3! --- xyzzy |
Luster, we need Borderlands/Xenoblade hourly percentages STAT --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Since I played it across two years, it's my personal GotY 2012-2013. Some people here played it in 2010. B8 GotY 2010-2013 --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Maybe a 9-way poll dilutes ME3's anti-votes a lot better than a 3-way poll does? --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
I
wonder what happens if you remove ME3 from this poll. I can't imagine
more of its votes going to Xenoblade than Borderlands but dreams can happen --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Wow
what a glorious result. I slightly expected Xenoblade to edge out ME3
in the 3-way poll but I did not expect it to dominate it and actually
compete with Borderlands 2. --- If you believe that Abed is the true Messiah and you are 100% proud of it make this your signature. http://oi44.tinypic.com/lfdsi.jpg |
this won't be close enough to warrant a revote. I'm actually worried ME3 passes Xenoblade here. --- xyzzy |

cut --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Big cut there. Xenoblade with that 25 vote cut. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
you know votals suck when a 25 vote cut is huge --- xyzzy |
ME3 has finally gotten a cut against Xenoblade. A 5 vote cut for ME3. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
What a beastly update by Borderlands 2, as it managed to pull in a 48.77% update with a 36 vote gain on Xenoblade. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
In
a couple years, Xenoblade could become the strongest 2012 game even
without a proper re-release. It's self-contained and should age like
wine. What a weak year this turned out to be. --- Yoblazer: http://oi45.tinypic.com/258ngvc.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Would
anyone consider this year to be worse than 2009, or is 2009 still our
worst year for games since our first GotY polls for 1999? --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I
dunno, the order of popularity from 2009 is probably a lot different
now. Arkham Asylum, which did not even make the GotY poll, is probably
stronger than any of the three finalists. Borderlands might be up there
as well. We already know CoD has fallen sharply after peaking in 2009,
and I'm guessing Dragon Age is also weaker after a disappointing sequel.
...XENOBLADE BEATS ALL --- Yoblazer: http://oi48.tinypic.com/2m47fv8.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Blimey That Ending mustve really pissed people off --- Oh SuperNiceDog's doing it again dude. SuperNiceDog, you ain't no pimp dude |
charmander6000 posted... Again, this is just silly. This ignores TF2. I would take a GotY poll over that particular match tbh. Also, Yo, The Walking Dead sold over 8 million copies. That is NOT "no-one played". Also, Xenoblade was probably overlapping with NSMBU and Persona. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
I
just want to point put that Operation Raccoon City is Capcom's 16th
best selling game of all time and Resident Evil 6 is already their 5th
best selling game of all time. So while Capcom may have grossly overshot their goals, neither game was a commercial flop. --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? [HERO'S PLUNGE] http://img.imgcake.com/finegifdy.gif |
