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. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy V - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3529748 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
"Although Leon might actually have a shot this year with a Donte pick." Was this confirmed by Bacon to be a possibility? Is he considering Dante and Donte the same character? (I have no idea if they are actually connected by the plot. Haven't played the new DMC) --- Our eyes were removed For our own safety. |
This page is messed up now: http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/cb9_entry_test No matter what account I am logged into, I am seeing this error message: You must be logged in to enter the contest! I have a screenshot of the current bracket before the page got all messed up: http://i.imgur.com/rDQVB0f.png I edited the HTML of the bracket to create alternating background colors for each match. Night matches are highlighted in blue, and day matches are highlighted in red. This is assuming we have 12-hour matches for the first 2 rounds. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Maybe
the actual bracket entry page is being made since the test was probably
to make sure the predicting and stuff was working and we were the beta
testers and the whole bracket could be up by tomorrow since it's Friday ommmggggggggg --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |

UltimaterializerX posted... I HAVE PHOTOSHOP AGAIN heheh so do I I actually can't wait to do pics again I've also never done a freeform match now that I think about it. I want to try and make one really good one but I only feel confident in making R1/R2 match pics --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |

Did anyone save the bracket before Allen took it down, so we can fill in the blanks ourselves? Oh good, Luster has it. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima SuperNiceDog: Bracket: Good, Taste: Bad |
Yes, I saved the bracket. Read this post for more information: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/66375467/746765487 --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
TRE posted... Pokemon Trainer in SSBB and FRLG is Red. He looks exactly the same as the Red you face in the Pokemon BW2 Champions tournament. Looks the same =/= is the same. Nowhere in SSBB does it mention or say that PT's name is Red, AND it goes as far to say that there are many of the generic Pokemon Trainers on an adventure. You're right, they look the same but it's a great injustice to the character to give him a picture from a spin-off game (that doesn't use his actual name) when he already has oh so many problems with recognition. Pokemon fans aren't just drones who will vote for anything with Pokemon in the title. I share your sentiments and hope Blue makes it in (it's why I tried to rally for him!). |

TheArkOfTurus posted... "Although Leon might actually have a shot this year with a Donte pick." I have no idea either, but it certainly won't stop people from trying. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Prediction: Rest of the bracket is released today as it was said the bracket would be released this week on Sballin. --- Nominate Spring Breeze Dancin' from Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon for Character Battle IX! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJrnlFW4IMc |
LeonhartFour posted... TheArkOfTurus posted..."Although Leon might actually have a shot this year with a Donte pick." If SB considered Donte to be a separate character, he should have put two Dantes in the nomination database. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
Looks like the actual bracket link will be up soon. One-hour edits are seriously the dumbest thing, what the f***. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy V - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3529748 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
I seriously hope he doesn't consider them the same character ..at least he used Dante's image from DMC3 in the profile pic --- ... |
Dante and Donte are as much the same character as WW and OoT Link. Since we're not getting 2 links, we're not getting 2 Dantes. 0% chance. --- NGirl@work or on phone. |
Bacon
did use the rebooted version of Lara Croft for her pic, so i guess he
pretty much treats the classic and alternate/rebooted version as the
same entity. DmC Dante should be fine against most of the weaker entrants, just pray that Bacon do not give him that when up against characters with respectable strength. |
My description for Squall was "Filed" Eeeeeeeee!!! --- | The Great GameFAQs Character Battle IX contest - COMING SOON to a GameFAQs near YOU | YES! YES! YES! |
I tested out that form and all submissions through that form are automatically "Filed". I later pulled the submission, though. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Awww. Way to burst my bubble Luster :( --- | The Great GameFAQs Character Battle IX contest - COMING SOON to a GameFAQs near YOU | YES! YES! YES! |
Iamthekuzalol posted... Bacon did use the rebooted version of Lara Croft for her pic, so i guess he pretty much treats the classic and alternate/rebooted version as the same entity. From what I gather they're not the same idea. The rebooted version of Lara Croft is just her younger self, while DmC takes place in an alternate universe from its source material. In other words, comparable to Mega Man X vs. the original Mega Man. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
LMS, you are wrong. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
LinkMarioSamus posted... Iamthekuzalol posted...Bacon did use the rebooted version of Lara Croft for her pic, so i guess he pretty much treats the classic and alternate/rebooted version as the same entity. I don't think the new TR is a origin/prequel, it really is a reboot, just kinda like DmC/LoS. I could be wrong though. MMX is a spinoff, it takes place in the same universe as Megaman so i could understand why Bacon would treat it as a different entity. |
No,
I don't think he'd put the entire rest of the bracket out today given
how slowly he's been teasing it out so far. We probably get the 5-9
seeds today, then the 10-18 seeds tomorrow and the 19-27 seeds on
Sunday. --- "Everyone has a dick although it may not be physical. You just have to learn to access it within your mind." - blindhobo13 |
So
I just refreshed the Meet the Characters page and some of the pics of
the #1 Seeds just changed ... (Edit: For Link & Sonic at least) --- Now Playing Persona 4 Arena Currently repping Yukiko & Mitsuru |
How long is the time period between bracket submissions opening and the contest starting, usually? --- Will not remove this line of my signature until the Seahawks, Jazz or Rockies win a title (Started 5-16-09) SuperNiceDog: Guru winner |
Ok I like Sonic Heroes and all but people have been using that friggin same Sonic model otherwise all the 1 seed characters have pretty good pics now --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
Emporer_Kazbar posted... How long is the time period between bracket submissions opening and the contest starting, usually? I think we'll end up with a 3 week bracket entry period. I don't think the contest will start until July 1st (or later than that). --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
*smells
air* i love the smell of a contest in the morning.Looks like my main
man Squall has a shot at beating Mario thanks to Red.Don't even think
about bottling it this time.Also, i hope Rinoa finally gets in a
contest.Nominated her for years but i'd say this is her best shot of
actually getting in thanks to the amount of places up for grabs. --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/330/958/a5b.gif |
Yeah, all descriptions are automatically listed as "Filed." It even says it right after you submit it! --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Brackets are publically shareable? Sounds perfect for the guru. Need a script that extracts the bracket from the link! --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
Yeah, first thing that came to mind is how convenient that is for the guru. --- Will not remove this line of my signature until the Seahawks, Jazz or Rockies win a title (Started 5-16-09) SuperNiceDog: Guru winner |
Uh, yes? I hate typing my bracket. --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
Warning! Hostile 5 seeds inbound! Tharja in Link's division KOS-MOS in Sonic's division Big Boss in Sephiroth's division Ike in Snake's division Squirtle in Cloud's division Booker DeWitt in Crono's division Auron in Samus's division Amaterasu in Mario's division Lenneth Valkyrie in Mega Man's division --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
First NRT character shows up and with a high seed, to boot. That's a good sign. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Warning! Hostile 6 seeds inbound! Raiden in Link's division Lucina in Sonic's division Morrigan Aensland in Sephiroth's division Alucard in Snake's division Handsome Jack in Cloud's division Pikachu in Crono's division Neku Sakuraba in Samus's division Vivi in Mario's division Kratos in Mega Man's division --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Pikachu vs Crono! --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! |
And now Morrigan shows up. Good, good. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
KOS MOS GOT A 5 SEED? ..PIKACHU VS. CRONO PIKACHU VS. SNAKE VS. CLOUD --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Going with Pikachu, gg Crono. |
Pikachu vs. Crono is going to be a night match if we get 12-hour matches for the first 2 rounds. Good for Crono though. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Pikachu/Cloud/Snake is rough for Snake --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
WarThaNemesis2 posted... KOS MOS GOT A 5 SEED? If Pikachu was to beat Crono, Cloud stands a far better chance of beating Snake. I have a feeling Snake has quite a bit of Nintendo backing. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! |
Seeding
is weird this year, lol. KOS-MOS with a #5. Already 3 Fire Emblem
characters. (Need to get a 3DS soon so I can play it) Nice to finally see my gal Morri officially back in the contest. --- Now Playing Persona 4 Arena Currently repping Yukiko & Mitsuru |
You guys still talking about Cloud? Pikachu is gonna win cos of that Sony LFF. |
