A = Strongest Character
B = Character Weaker than A
C = Character Weaker than B
To figure out a character's Xsts Percentage ---> [(CvB)(BvA)]/50 = CvA
To compare how C would do against B ---> [(CvA)/(BvA)]*50 = CvB
To figure out how B would do against A ---> [(CvA)/(CvB)]*50 = BvA

~*Say What? 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 really doubt Digimon would have strength here. This isn't Star Wars or Marvel/DC Comics we're talking about here.


...Star Wars doesn't have strength here. That was one of my good calls from CB8.

You can't possibly be serious about Star Wars not having strength here. Like, that's beyond absurd. Vader and Batman woud probably be the two strongest characters around (although Vader would be highly pic-dependent as "little Ani" would be a disaster...),

Han Solo and Yoda would also be very strong.

Oh, yeah, I'm sure that in an "open" contest, characters from the Star Wars movies could do well. But I remember a lot of people thinking that the Star Wars association was going to easily carry Darth Revan to a win over Terra in CB8, and he didn't even come close to her.

Sorry, I must've misunderstood you. Then again, can you blame me? We have absolutely no data to go on as to which properties would be strong in an "open" contest and which wouldn't. (But we actually can consider Batman a good option because Arkham Asylum did very respectably in GotD.)

I actually think Luke would be really close to Vader's strength, and might even exceed him, weird as it sounds. Like...when I saw Star Wars, I didn't want to be Vader. I wanted to be a Jedi, just like Luke. That sort of nostalgia counts for a lot in GameFAQS.

Star Wars (the 1977 movie) had been seen by 89% of the site as of 2012. I think characters like Han Solo, Vader and Yoda would be deadly in the right setting.

For comparison, 30% had never played FFVII in 2009, and 20% had never played OoT in 2009.

Well, we'll never know unless we can convince Bacon to actually give us a contest with all fictional characters. So perhaps next time, we should rally nothing but characters with anime ties. (Start by finally getting Umineko its representation--you came close in RR, getting Battler/Beatrice into a vote-in, but it didn't quite pan out. Yeah, they'll probably be weak, but for the most part, you should just be happy to get them in. I know I've been happy just getting obscure things in--first with IWTBTG in RR, and now the Touhou characters here. You know what, screw "she's going to be weak as hell"; I'm gonna rally my ass off for Nanoha next time around. Because why the hell not?)

If we're doing that, we're going for Digimon, Dragon Ball Z and the like first. We already have a couple Dragon Ball guys who could make it in and make some noise. It makes more sense to try for things that appeal to the GameFAQS fanbase and parlay their success into full fictional representation than just plain nomming our obscure fan favorites and hoping it works.

Go educate yourself. You'll feel like a little kid all the way and that's a good thing, trust me. The only movie that left me in the same state since has been Pacific Rim. Star Wars is really a one of a kind thing.

Yeah. I've seen the first two movies of the prequel trilogy, and if that's the "inferior product", I can only imagine the original trilogy is amazing.

...Well, okay, the first movie of the prequel trilogy wasn't that great. But Episode II was pretty good.

As a warning the Star Wars movies did not age well visually, more than the usual old movies.

Of course that's only a problem if you watch movies for special effects and whatnot.

Highly, highly doubtful.

When theses contests started, Dante was a near-elite. You seriously think Dante could beat someone like, say, Wolverine? He'd have gotten creamed by Wolverine even back then. Like, badly.

The depth of appeared-in-a-video-game field completely blows the video-game-origin field away. Video-game-origin only goes so deep in terms of characters that have strength. You're talking what, maybe 40 characters that would be above fodder (20% on contest winner is what I define as fodder line)? Maybe 50? There would literally be hundreds of fictional characters that would be above fodder level. There's a gazillion franchises out there.

OK, I see then. But if you know anything at all about American culture, it's really not hard at all to figure out which ones would be the strongest.

Batman would very likely be the the strongest, and I'd have taken Batman over Link at Link's peak, let alone weakened Link now after the Nolan movies made Batman more of a monster icon than ever. I think he'd spank current Link handily. Batman is essentially super-Snake.

Vader is a good choice for #2, though you could debate there.

People always mention DBZ - at it's peak it might have had some strength, but DBZ's days of glory are long past and I really doubt it's aged well. Those would not be top characters anymore.

The top characters would mostly be comic book characters, and movie characters like Vader, Indiana Jones, perhaps Gandalf, maybe a James Bond (I don't think Bond would be that strong, just an example) etc.

The single movie franchise with the most high level characters would almost surely be Star Wars. Just a ton of characters with strength - Han Solo, Yoda, Obi-Wan. Even Luke Skywalker would probably have decent strength, and he might not even be top 5 from the franchise.

Sherlock Holmes would be one of the strongest fictional characters imo. He is iconic, he is referenced a ridiculous amount in every type of media, he has popular books, tv shows, movies, and video games. He has been portrayed by more different actors than any other fictional character. On top of all that he is just an awesome extremely high quality character (in the original novels at least) and I think the type of character that this site likes.

Nah, I don't buy this. At this point I think we could easily hit 64 characters who would match the Boss Fodder Line without a sweat, and probably push 70 or even 80. Sure, all-fictional characters would be great, but it's not like our field is that weak. I have more respect for the lasting impact of gaming's experiences than that.

Dracula is not close to Holmes and if you think he is you need to go out more. The vampire fiction genre (subgenre?) is not dominated by Bram Stoker ripoffs and hasn't been in any of our lifespans. But mystery? What bigger face is there for mystery than the man with the pipe and the hat that goes 'Elementary, My Dear Watson'? Nobody. Sherlock is huge. HUGE. Huge enough that he literally has two, possibly three TV series going on RIGHT NOW, even.

No way does Luke even approach Vader in strength. He kinda has Tidus-syndrome. Han Solo would for sure be stronger as well. Yoda probably, but that's debatable.

Modern audiences do not care about Sherlock Holmes.

Robert Downey Jr., the actor who has played him, probably beats Holmes in a hypothetical poll.

An easy win for Bayonetta but even near the top some people had trouble with the match. We end up lsoing 2 of the last 9 perfects. Still the top tiers did much better than the rest of the field and the prediction percentage falls from low 80s to low 60s just by going from the -1s to the -4s. The decline from there is pretty slow, though.

8 people fell off the Top 49. ramprevs, Ayvuir, BZer0, Cloud_Link32145, DailyFacade7, dimi161, Final_Eclipse and Flock_Masta_P did not have Bayonetta winning.

1 person got it wrong and survived. Hagankefs also did not have Bayonetta winning.

I think there would be a very big dropoff between the top tier fictional characters and the rest.

But you've got Wolverine, Spiderman and Batman who could all possibly beat Link. I expect nothing from Superman though. He would probably bomb compared to expectations.

And then you've got the Star Wars onslaught. Vader, Yoda, Obi-Wan, Han, Boba Fett and Luke could all probably be high midcarders at worst.

I actually think Luke would be really close to Vader's strength, and might even exceed him, weird as it sounds. Like...when I saw Star Wars, I didn't want to be Vader. I wanted to be a Jedi, just like Luke. That sort of nostalgia counts for a lot in GameFAQS.

No way does Luke even approach Vader in strength. He kinda has Tidus-syndrome. Han Solo would for sure be stronger as well. Yoda probably, but that's debatable.

Sherlock Holmes would be one of the strongest fictional characters imo. He is iconic, he is referenced a ridiculous amount in every type of media, he has popular books, tv shows, movies, and video games. He has been portrayed by more different actors than any other fictional character. On top of all that he is just an awesome extremely high quality character (in the original novels at least) and I think the type of character that this site likes.

Modern audiences do not care about Sherlock Holmes.

Robert Downey Jr., the actor who has played him, probably beats Holmes in a hypothetical poll.


I don't feel that way Creative. I just...I don't feel it. Luke is the guy I wanted to be when I was a little kid, swinging my lightsaber around. Not Yoda, not Ben Kenobi, Luke. That kind of nostalgia is an extremely hard to find thing, but Luke has it. Vader might be stronger, but I'd bet you good money it's more of a Kefka/Terra thing than Auron/Tidus.

Literally has badass lightning in his match picture
Literally a good series with a decent play-rate and great reviews
Literally had huge marketing campaigns for both games
Literally can't keep up with Ragna the Bloodedge


I feel bad for Cole. There's really nothing he can do or anything he's done wrong. New characters just struggle... I guess he can say that he's at least not Nathan Hale, but yeah.

I honestly don't get how Cole can be so piss-weak. Literally close to Ragna. LITERALLY CLOSE TO RAGNA. Can't even a freakin' hundred votes on him! That's just pathetically weak! I'd take N to double these jobbers!
