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. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I just really hope Snake gets to go up against Nintendo this year. And Squall gets Crono. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
a tisket a tasket we want the damn bracket --- PSN: JDTAY87 Nintendo Network: JDTAY87 |
As
long as the lower tier N9 gets challenged by the near elites and Big
Boss being put in a debatable match, I have no qualm with whatever
bracket he's throwing at us. |
We'll have to see what this twist even is before we can even speculate on what we want to see. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
True
i suppose, but even then the lower tier N9 can still be challenged by
the near elites in whichever format it is. (Unless it's some hindering
LFF in mutli-ways polls) |
Those near Elites would be Vincent, Squall, Charizard and uhm what Bowser I guess? |
I just got this response from Bacon earlier when I told him to take the nomination form down: Message From GameFAQs on 05/30/2013 Doesn't matter, the nominations are locked internally. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Vincent, Squall, Tifa, Charizard, Bowser, Ganondorf, Missingno, Zelda, Auron, Mega Man X, all to varying extents. Of course, we don't know exactly how strong any of them are going to be now, but that'll make it fun if we do see it. --- http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2011/8/22/2094c2de-bae8-4f5b-9f27-67eaff0aaeaf.jpg |
From: -LusterSoldier- | #008 Message From GameFAQs on 05/30/2013 So, what, does this mean that even if people are submitting noms, they don't count? --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonpngpe.png http://img.imgcake.com/squalloweenpngem.png |

I just got this response from Bacon earlier when I told him to take the nomination form down: haha so everyone trying to make last minute nomination drives past Noon PST were pretty much doing nothing? --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
That's my first guess as well. You can still submit noms, but I'm guessing they aren't going to count. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
superange128 posted... haha so everyone trying to make last minute nomination drives past Noon PST were pretty much doing nothing? I assume he locked the nominations at the same time he took the link off the front page. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I guess someone should make a topic letting all the non-Stats Topic readers know about this sudden twist. --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonpngpe.png http://img.imgcake.com/squalloweenpngem.png |
I just made a post in the stickied topic on this board earlier, although it would help if there was a separate topic as well. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Well, that kind of sucks. I picked up a good number of nominations from slackers yesterday. :( |
I made a topic for you Luster --- ~Zen |
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/66305121/745772827 I guess he closed the nominations at the same time he removed the link from the front page. Figuring the exact time nominations were closed is difficult, because I know TRE keeps track of how long nominations were open for. For the purpose of figuring out how long nominations were open for, I would declare 6:23:00 PM EST as the exact time that should be used to calculate the total amount of time nominations were open for. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Although
maybe he did close nominations exactly at 3:00:00 PM EST, so I guess it
would be better to use that time to calculate the total amount of time
nominations were open for. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Just
wondering if there were any thoughts on whether he would have started
any vote-ins by now if nominations closed on Tuesday? How quickly did
vote-ins start the last time? |
I
know for Character Battle 2010, the vote-ins started several hours
after nominations were closed. I'm not sure about GOTD and Rivalry
Rumble though. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I'm pretty sure vote-ins started the day after noms closed in all cases, so I'd assume we're not having them at this point. --- http://i52.tinypic.com/2zfiu09.gif http://i54.tinypic.com/10729w2.gif |
If it's true and we are getting 200+ characters in this one, I doubt there will be vote-ins at all. --- You may take Mr. Rogers down, but I will be back and become more powerful than you ever imagine "tgs is taking it alone" |
Considering
tomorrow's poll will be "Which scheduled June release are you most
looking forward to?", it's unlikely we're getting vote-ins. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
How do you find out what polls are? --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |

Oh man, it's already been a year since Pokemon Conquest? >_> --- PSN: JDTAY87 Nintendo Network: JDTAY87 |
When is it acceptable to start demanding the damn bracket? --- Official Commissioner of the WWE Liquor Basket™ |

He couldn't take the 5 seconds to unsticky the topic or 10 seconds to pull the nomination form offline? Honestly? Honestly. EDIT - Luster can you confirm a final "official" nomination count of 25,602? --- thengamer.com/guru thengamer.com/xstats board8.wikia.com For your consideration: Lee Everett - The Walking Dead |
Getting
an official nomination count is even more difficult just because he
never pulled the nomination form offline and we don't know exactly when
he locked the nominations. If he locked nominations at 3:00 PM EST like
he said last Friday, than the official nomination count was 25,602
at 2:58 PM EST. It's definitely possible that there could have been 3
or 4 more nominations during those final 2 minutes, but I feel confident
that is the final nomination count if the nominations were locked at
3:00 PM EST. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
What is the normal nominations-closing-to-bracket-release turnaround time? I forget. Hopefully he releases it tomorrow, otherwise it'll be Monday at the earliest. If he truly closed nominations on Tuesday at noon PST as he said, then he might just have had enough time to come up with one. --- http://img.imgcake.com/XIIIrocks/danielbryanshockedoGIFSoupcomgifaz.gif |
Gap between nominations closing and bracket going up: Villains Contest - 3 hours, 51 minutes Character Battle IV - 6 days, 6 hours, 35 minutes Best. Series.

Game.

And the only reason for the last 3 bing longer than usual was because of vote-ins Not sure what was up with CB4 or CB5 --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
The
last 3 contests all had vote-ins. This contest probably won't have
vote-ins. If we don't start vote-ins by June 5th, we can safely assume
there will be no vote-ins because there will be some E3 polls before the
first press conferences happen. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

Only
one contest has ever had the bracket revealed on Monday. Interesting.
2 contests had the bracket revealed on Friday, but Tuesday is most
common with 4 contests. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
If we only go off Allen Contests it's two Fridays, Two Tuesdays, 1 Thursday --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
TRE I was only half-serious. Holy crap. Thanks. --- "I have a place to live because of FFXI, I lost my virginity because of FFXI, and that's why it's my #5 game of all time" - RPGLord95 |
If
the bracket comes on Tuesday, it would be possible to do 3 days of
vote-ins (Saturday, Sunday, Monday) despite the fact tomorrow's poll is
not going to be a vote-in. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
What's the difference in time between nominations closing and the vote-ins starting? --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |

Usually it was either the same night they closed or the night after if I'm not mistaken? --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
For
Character Battle 2010, our first vote-ins happened just a few hours
after nominations were closed. I don't know about GOTD and Rivalry
Rumble, though. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
In
today's poll, Ride to Hell: Retribution is in the running to get one of
the worst percentages by a single poll option. The worst percentage
all time was 0.06%. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Ah,
damn. Ride to Hell: Retribution is up to 0.40% now after starting out
very poorly. It's no longer in the running for getting one of the worst
percentages by a single poll option. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I don't think we get a bracket until Allen removes the sticky, at least --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
