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. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |

Lugia! --- POKEFEAR |
Vote Accepted Sly Cooper 18.18% 2 Votes Your Pick Francis York Morgan 18.18% 2 Votes Lugia 63.64% 7 Votes Total Votes: 11 The current result saddens me. At this point the next contest should just be vote for your favorite Pokemon. --- I pwn you all! |
York..... --- You think this is over because I am dead. It's not over. The games have just begun. |
I picked Sly for some reason WHOOPS --- http://i.imgur.com/6b2as3d.jpg http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/CaptainRockman.png |
Yeah, York's finishing under 10% here. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

Holy ****. I'm taking Lugia > Frog now --- For your SuperNiceDog. At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza |
At this point the next contest should just be vote for your favorite Pokemon. I wouldn't mind such a contest to be honest >_> --- Pokemon Showdown Peak Ranking OU: 2004 And then lost 7 matches in a row >_> |
so...can we try a Gen 3 pokemon next year? G/S/C and R/S/E both nostalgia-aged now. gardevoir train choo choo --- Leafs / Raptors / Blue Jays / TFC / Argos / Tottenham We'll get 'em next year. |
This match is going to burn the casuals so bad. You know Sly has to be the bracket favorite. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |

_SecretSquirrel posted... This match is going to burn the casuals so bad. You know Sly has to be the bracket favorite. Nah, Lugia will still be the overall favorite, but it'll probably be in the 50% range. MoogleKupo141 posted... I'm taking Lugia > Frog now Both of Frog's opponents are stronger than Sly and York. --- http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif |
Lugia > Cloud. Sly would beat Prinny right? Then there's also Frog being in the match hurting Cloud. --- If you believe that Abed is the true Messiah and you are 100% proud of it make this your signature. |
Poor sly --- Oh SuperNiceDog's doing it again dude. SuperNiceDog, you ain't no pimp dude |
damn I hoped Sly would at least put up a decent fight And so the last perfect bracket falls... |

Frog will cheat to beat Lugia if necessary. And it might be necessary. --- http://img.imgcake.com/nio/26leonpngat.png http://img.imgcake.com/nio/daigohadoupnguj.png |
I thought Lugia > Frog was a given. --- POKEFEAR |
No but in all seriousness, am I insane to believe that Lugia could potentially threaten Frog for the 2nd spot? --- Pokemon Showdown Peak Ranking OU: 2004 And then lost 7 matches in a row >_> |
spooky96 posted... WellThoughtName posted...Kibago posted...so...can we try a Gen 3 pokemon next year? G/S/C and R/S/E both nostalgia-aged now. You're probably right; maybe Latios/Latias would have a chance. I would love if a troll rally pushed Nosepass or even Luvdisc to the top though. --- I pwn you all! |
spooky96 posted... No but in all seriousness, am I insane to believe that Lugia could potentially threaten Frog for the 2nd spot? Cloud is there to make it an easy 2nd place for Lugia. |
spooky96 posted... No but in all seriousness, am I insane to believe that Lugia could potentially threaten Frog for the 2nd spot? Nah, Lugia's got a shot. People shouldn't think this is a good performance just like they shouldn't think what Epona did was a good performance, and these guys are worse than Mordin/Niko. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |

I don't know why you guys keep thinking FFVII/CT SFF is a thing. If it exists, it's extremely minor. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
Wow, less than half the brackers got the last match right. I thought Frog winning was obvious. |

We lose a -1 (36 points) and a few -2s (35 points) and -3s (34 points) despite Frog dominating the match. The -3s actually did a slight bit better than the -2s. Prediction percentage falls off drastically at -5 (32 points). -4s were in the mid-80s while -5 was the high 60s. The prediction percentage falls quite quickly from there as well so themid tiers were only in the low-40s or high 30s. Frog may not have been the favourite by much to the casual bracketmakers. 3 people fell off the Top 49. scolletti105, hansonchueh and LinkMarioSamus did not have Frog winning. --- Pokemon VGC2013 BC Regional - 16th place Pokemon VGC2013 US National - 39th place |
Barely doubling Sly Cooper now Look at this power --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |
LeonhartFour posted... I don't know why you guys keep thinking FFVII/CT SFF is a thing. It just seems like it SHOULD exist. I can't see someone playing CT and not also playing FFVII, unless they just were a pure Nintendo console person. The other way around, sure. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2013/07/wyatt07062013.gif |
Lugia
seems decent, and I'm counting on Cloud to SFF Frog. I'm taking Lugia
second. I mean, if you've got Pikachu > Crono in your bracket, why
the hell not? --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
Jakyl25 posted... It just seems like it SHOULD exist. Oh, I know it seems like it should. It's just that we've seen several FFVII/CT matches and no signs of any funny business in any of them, so if it does exist, it's barely even noticeable. Old Square and New Square are two different groups of people though, despite CT and FFVII only being two years apart. Although people are taking issue with me calling FFVII New Square now! Maybe it should be Old Square, Modern Square, and Postmodern Square. --- http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o8250gifyd.gif http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o6250gifuv.gif |

LeonhartFour posted... I don't know why you guys keep thinking FFVII/CT SFF is a thing. I think people see it from Crono getting destroyed in that 2008 final. I mean, there's nothing since 2004 to compare Crono to Link, but it was clear that both Crono and Cloud underperformed in that match. The question is how much of Crono's underperformance was due to his drop in strength and how much of Cloud's was due to Snake's bandwagon. |
Yeah I agree, CT/FF7 doesn't' affect each other much, but they do, and it is minor. I'd still say Frog>Lugia, but first I'll have to see what the board in general has to say. --- Pokemon Showdown Peak Ranking OU: 2004 And then lost 7 matches in a row >_> |
TheOneAboveAll posted... I think people see it from Crono getting destroyed in that 2008 final. Eh, that's more of a Last Place Factor than anything. You had three hardcore fanbases believing their guy could win and pushing for it, with poor Crono left in the dust. No different than what happened to Snake in 2007. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
LeonhartFour posted... Jakyl25 posted...It just seems like it SHOULD exist. Golden Age Square, Silver Age Square, and What Happened To Square? --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2013/07/wyatt07062013.gif |
Yeah,
Lugia's got this, we just gotta remember this doesnt' mean much because
Sly has always been by far the weakest of the Sony mascots. I wouldn't
be surprised is his mascot brethren all doubled him before SFF. |
And
Snake/Cloud stayed about the same proportion from the round before
without Crono being there. The trends were just totally different
because Snake got out to such a hot start that he was beating Link for
several hours, even. --- http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/9919/leonhart.png |
Qwaar posted... BK_Sheikah00 posted...Lugia seems decent, and I'm counting on Cloud to SFF Frog. I'm taking Lugia second. I mean, if you've got Pikachu > Crono in your bracket, why the hell not? Magus is expected to be there. Even if you think Crono turns on the afterburners and reduces Magus to getting 20% on him (from the 30+% he pulled last time they met), 80% of 2010 Crono is not enough to beat Pikachu. |
Also, Lugia better than the actual Guru pick lol --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
LeonhartFour posted... TheOneAboveAll posted...I think people see it from Crono getting destroyed in that 2008 final. I'm not disagreeing. I just think that a lot of people saw that as SFF, probably due to an unwillingness to admit that Crono is weaker and that Snake beat Cloud (relatively) legitimately. |
Without the Square LFF, i'd take Lugia over Frog. --- Zinsanity of the Helix Board |
I just noticed someone had -214 points in the Expert challenge That's... impressive --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
