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. --- `•.,¸¸,.•´¯`•.,¸¸,.•´¯`•.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.•´¯`•.,¸¸,.•´¯`•.,¸¸,.• Are you a man, or a slave? |

KamikazePotato posted... Calm down. I'm perfectly calm but if you want to accuse me of being purposefully annoying for some weird reason when I am just thinking about past contests and discussing something (because part of the fun of these is to wonder about weird things like which side characters are stronger than their mains) then I can for sure start to be purposefully annoying. Don't accuse people of things they aren't doing, I am very capable of showing you the difference. --- "When your enemies defy you, you must serve them steel and fire. When they go to their knees, however, you must help them back to their feet." |
Raiden is arguably the new MC. No, he's not. Even in MK9's story mode, Liu Kang was always presented as THE GUY And you don't want Raiden as your new main character after the "great" job he did in MK9. --- http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/8718/leonflowchart.png |
Re: "zelda fans won't vote for a horse" All of the nintendo fans that don't recognize Mordin or Niko are going to vote for Epona That's definitely enough to win here --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |

Seven
minutes. Seven minutes until only one guru is left at the top.
Blairville should get in here, I wanna shake his hand before this gets
going. |
Epona time --- ... |
ExThaNemesis posted... Does that make Suicide the main character of TNA? They changed his name :-( --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2013/07/wyatt07062013.gif |

...IT'S A HORSE! Seriously. I mean, she might be able to win this match anyway because the opposition is Mordin Solus and Niko Bellic--I'm starting to think she will--but all of this talk of Epona being strong is silly. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3avXA-S4NrU This means so much to me. ='( SIX MINUTES --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif |
Time to eats some oats. |
LeonhartFour posted... Raiden is arguably the new MC. Liu Kang is kind of not in a position to MC it up in MK9 though, unless I'm forgetting something. So, de facto, Raiden is the protagonist of that storyline. |

I have Epona beating GlaDOS. LOLOLOLOL. --- Pokemon Showdown Peak Ranking OU: 2004 And then lost 7 matches in a row >_> |
LordoftheMorons posted... Re: "zelda fans won't vote for a horse" I'm pretty sure everyone voting in this contest knows who Niko is. People probably just don't care about him. --- Tornadoman78: tornadoman and tornadogirl like to kick box each other in my tornaolayzers and she dosent even mind getting hit |
KanzarisKelshen posted... Liu Kang is kind of not in a position to MC it up in MK9 though, unless I'm forgetting something. So, de facto, Raiden is the protagonist of that storyline. Raiden is more of a facilitator in MK9's storyline. The worst facilitator in the history of fiction, at that. --- http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo22vfguji1qzxr43.gif |

While
you had one or two decent example, most of your examples were set up as
to 'win the argument' rather than to 'further the discussion'. Bringing
up Pokemon, for example, was completely ridiculous in the context of
discussing main character vs. side character in a traditional JRPG. So
yeah, that was pretty annoying, whether or not you did it intentionally. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Liu Kang had Shaolin Monks so even the HE GOT A SPINOFF argument doesn't really hold water --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
spooky96 posted... I have Epona beating GlaDOS. Errrrr same here |
You doubters are in for it here in a few minutes. I mean, I know how it feels to bet against Zelda. I have been burned by it many times. So I mean I feel for you, the same way you probably will feel for me later on when Link is godsmacking Snake in spite of Mario. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
epwna gonna hit 65% --- nt |
I'm probably no picking Altair vs Ratchet. No longer confident in Altair. But, it's worth mentioning that Altair was very prominent in Revelations. I doubt the voters care much about Revelations, however. --- Haman Korn! You're the source of all kernels in this world! Your time has come! -Cornille You've made a poor choice for your final popping place! -Haman Korn |
HORSEFEAR time --- Leafs / Raptors / Blue Jays / TFC / Argos / Tottenham We'll get 'em next year. |
I have Ike winning in round 2, for the record. Go me. --- http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif |
KanzarisKelshen posted... Seven minutes. Seven minutes until only one guru is left at the top. Blairville should get in here, I wanna shake his hand before this gets going. Wait, really!? Oh, thank Draven! --- Haman Korn! You're the source of all kernels in this world! Your time has come! -Cornille You've made a poor choice for your final popping place! -Haman Korn |
Ezio
has completely replaced Altair as the series main. I think Ubisoft held
a facebook poll and Ezio got like 75% of the vote in a 'favorite main
character' thing. Still beat Connor in it, though. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
What percent should Shulk need to be below to be considered weaker than Dunban? --- If you believe that Abed is the true Messiah and you are 100% proud of it make this your signature. |
HORSEYFEAR Sounds like a Pokemon --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
I still remember the moment that it hit me in Twilight Princess. I quickly transformed into a wolf and talked to Epona. She spoke back. Yet... there were no words. =') --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/NQTthNf.jpg |
The
board vote should be crazy good for Epona, just to remember. Garrus
gained 8% against freaking Sub Zero... Mordin will probably gain 10%
from the freeze. --- http://i.imgur.com/lnKB0m9.jpg http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1184880/davis-again.gif http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8118/8656607511_94178dbf2e_o.gif |
Hopefully Epona has some strength but then again.... it's a horse =/ |
KamikazePotato posted... Ezio has completely replaced Altair as the series main. I think Ubisoft held a facebook poll and Ezio got like 75% of the vote in a 'favorite main character' thing. Still beat Connor in it, though. Not surprising considering how bad Connor was. --- "A game with amazing story and mediocre gameplay usually beats a game with amazing gameplay and mediocre story." - Vlado, Gaming Expert |
Let's ride. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
JJH777 posted... What percent should Shulk need to be below to be considered weaker than Dunban? who cares they all suck --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonpngpe.png http://img.imgcake.com/squalloweenpngem.png |

Bringing up Pokemon, for example, was completely ridiculous in the context of discussing main character vs. side character in a traditional JRPG. So yeah, that was pretty annoying, whether or not you did it intentionally. KP, I didn't post a big list of examples, Lopen did. I just mentioned Vivi, Charizard (I am confused by your clear annoyance by this, Charizard to me is for sure "fan favorite" status I didn't realize we were trying to adhere to some strict definition here) and Big Daddy because I remembered Big Daddy was oddly strong. --- "When your enemies defy you, you must serve them steel and fire.

JJH777 posted... What percent should Shulk need to be below to be considered weaker than Dunban? We'll likely never get a good read on Dunban due to the poll he was in, so hard to say. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Fr0zoN posted... Hopefully Epona has some strength but then again.... it's a horse =/ It's Link's horse. That important! --- "A game with amazing story and mediocre gameplay usually beats a game with amazing gameplay and mediocre story." - Vlado, Gaming Expert |
Blairville posted... KanzarisKelshen posted...Seven minutes. Seven minutes until only one guru is left at the top. Blairville should get in here, I wanna shake his hand before this gets going. Yup. We're just the last two gurus left. And since I picked Mordin, one of us is going down in three minutes. Let's make this a good one! |
Time for Epona doubters to put their foot-in-mouth! --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2013/07/wyatt07062013.gif |
Epona with Link performance incoming. --- "Thank you, thank you, no applause necessary, just send money..." |
And to add to that, I wouldn't be surprised if Wander was weaker than Agro. Sure Agro is a horse, but feels and all. --- "A game with amazing story and mediocre gameplay usually beats a game with amazing gameplay and mediocre story." - Vlado, Gaming Expert |
Let the whining commence --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 27/32 Today's Picks: Epona and Altair |
My body is ready --- nt |
I'm
all for the stats topic having dumb arguments and laughing about it
like chums later but "main character" crap seriously needs to go away.
It's the dumbest recurring argument gamers have. Who gives a s*** who the main character of anything is? If someone wants to think a time-traveling monkey is the main character of Great Expectations, they can knock themselves the hell out. I could not care less. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, Rest in peace Kazbar :( |
This should be fun --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
