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. --- You're the man now SuperNiceDog! |

Didn't Squall die? I really need to replay FF8. --- Pts: 44/50 Today's Picks: Yoshimitsu & Mr. G&W IX: Link-VV-BB-SS-Cloud-Sora-Samus-Mario-Zard |

I should really replay FFVIII. It and X are the only ones I haven't replayed that I enjoyed the first time. --- Not changing this sig until the Bengals, Bills, 49ers and Lions win the Super Bowl (10/10/10) Professional UotY Mentor to Leo3Leo, McFlubbin and Jeff Zero |
Cecil
would have a good shot of beating Red even without Wario there. Unless
you think Knuckles imploded for some reason, the guy's legit. --- Fight like dragons, have no fear, swords are made of STEEEEEEEEL~ |
So
with Vyse not being relevant in a while and Adol's series getting a
little bit of spotlight recently, the next match is... seeing if Adol
can lose respectably. Sounds exciting. I guess I'll define respectably as not letting Vyse get over 60%. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
I thought Adol was the guy from Street Fighter, then I realized that is Adon and Adol is from a game I have played... --- Not changing this sig until the Bengals, Bills, 49ers and Lions win the Super Bowl (10/10/10) Professional UotY Mentor to Leo3Leo, McFlubbin and Jeff Zero |

Karma Hunter posted... Wario/Red/Cecil All right fine, I admit...wait no, Pokemon doesn't generally overlap much with the rest of Nintendo so forget it. Although I guess Red could suffer from Brawl overlap against Wario? Possible. I'd estimate Red to be worth about 55% on Cecil normally (Red = Blue = Fox, we'd all take Fox > Knuckles without a second thought). Fine, I admit defeat. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
I
think I actually own that Bit.Trip.Runner game from some Indie bundle. I
still had no idea who the guy was until I saw that Meat Boy video. --- Bracket score: 57 / Expert score: 258 |
On the note of bios, I think I got my favorite character's bio. Speaking of which, I said earlier that I was anticipating Metroid: Other M to be a huge test of whether or not I can emerge out of it finding Samus to still be likeable. Well, my mission to spot any differences whatsoever in her characterization there compared to in earlier games ended in... ...complete failure. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Uh,
Pokemon overlaps with Nintendo all the time, like a ton. This is how
Pikachu went from beating both Dante and Leon in the same match to
stabbing Luigi in the back in the next round and making them both come
in last. Pokemon doesn't get SFFed by Nintendo generally, which is different, in multiway polls that can still easily cost either entity the win. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |

Video
turns out to be even worse than expected, while Rayman manages to show
signs of having boosted in getting high 20s on Squall. Boring match. Round 1, Match 67 (5) Amaterasu (14) Vyse (23) Adol Christin Another straightfoward match. Amaterasu has wins over Balthier, Shadow, Ada Wong, to her name, while Vyse has long since lost whatever strength he once had. At least he has a history though, and a win over Laharl, which is more than can be said about the guy from Ys. Let's say mid-60s for Ammy over Vyse, and who knows what Adol Christin ends up with... Bracket: Amaterasu Expert: Amaterasu > Vyse > Adol Oracle: Amaterasu - 54.5%; Vyse - 29.5%; Adol Christin - 16% --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
And,
no LMS, the match before Rikku's does not feature two inanimate
objects. It features one inanimate object and a robot that's shaped
similarly to the inanimate object. Over in the "Who Would You Have Sex With" topic, this two-match stretch would be known as six straight boxes. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
Squall
still rising, yeesh. Must be that KH magic. He's got a chance to reach
that 'impressive' mark I set for him of the upper 60s if he keeps it up. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |

Guybrush and Max Payne really drawing the votals, I see. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
Speaking of low vote totals this match is barely ahead of Luigia/Sly/Francis and it has Squall --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 53/66 Today's Picks: Squall and Amaterasu |
Match LXVIII: (5) Amaterasu vs. (14) Vyse vs. (23) Adol Christin Previous Contest Amaterasu 2010 52.59% against Shadow the Hedgehog 40.41% against Luigi Vyse 2007 10.51% against Solid Snake, Nightmare and Rayman Adol Christin N/A N/A Analysis Amaterasu is one of those characters that I find surprising she has this much strength. Breaking 40% against Luigi is no joke and places her into mid-carder range. However, things may be different now. With no new releases since we last saw her it is only a matter of time before she starts decreasing in strength. Still even if she were to drop in strength she will have more than enough strength to finish ahead of these weaklings. Remember when Vyse was used to be the fodder line in our discussions, literally the next year he goes and falls off the face of the Earth. Six years since his last appearance and no new games released it is hard to imagine that he has much strength remaining. Despite all this he still has an excellent chance of finishing second. Adol is one of those characters that made it to North America in the early days, was kept to Japan for a decade before coming back over the last decade or so. His games have been mostly limited to PC and handheld releases since his return. Overall I do not see him having any strength, but at the same time you do not need much to win over Vyse. I am going to go with Vyse for second place because Skies of Arcadia is still more well-known than anything Adol has appeared in. Adol has a chance at taking the upset, but I just do not see it happening. Amaterasu could push for 60% easily against these characters, especially if she maintains her strength from 2010. charmander6000s Bracket: Amaterasu > Vyse and Adol Christin charmander6000s Prediction: Amaterasu 61.56%, Vyse 21.03%, Adol Christin 17.41% --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 53/66 Today's Picks: Squall and Amaterasu |

Pokemon's
interactions with other Nintendo in multi-way polls are often similar
to how FF and KH interact, where the weaker entity doesn't get SFF'd,
but there's heavy leeching (Sora/Squall, FFX/KH1, Pikachu/Luigi,
RBY/OoT, Mewtwo/Bowser). --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
Yeah,
this is why even if Pokemon is able to take advantage of its rigged
situations it's putting itself in an untenable position in the next
round. Crono/Pikachu/Magus with Pikachu winning leads most likely to
Pikachu/Sora/Blue. Missingno beating Squall leads to Mario/Missingno/Red
if Cecil can't take advantage of his favorable setup. Charizard's basically the only one with a free pass of rigged setups to potentially vault him to the finals, though even Lightning could scare him if she ended up being worthwhile. Don't see that happening, though. Kind of a waste, any Square near-elite in her position has a good shot of making a run to the finals. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |

Hey, if they can do that, they're easily stronger than Link now, so I'll take it. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |

LOL
at LMS quoting charmander's write-up and putting his own comments
inside of the quote tag, rather than putting the comments after the
quote tag. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I also completely forgot that Ammy got Marvel vs. Capcom 3 since last contest. But yeah, match featuring three cult characters = snoozefest. Doesn't matter if one of them appeared in a freaking kart racer last year while the other appeared in a crossover fighting game the year before (plus Capcom really wants people to play her game). --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Dang, Red needs to beat Cecil for Squall to get as close to Mario as possible. But I want Cecil to win twice too...! --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
Embarrassing confession: I had Pit winning, then I thought that the Nintendo split would allow the freaking Creeper through. And now, in my Expert Challenge, I have the Creeper getting dead last in its match. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |

Eh,
if Squall was going up against Mario in a night match it would be
something more interesting, but Mario shouldn't be seriously threatened
in a 24 hour match. Cecil getting to Round 3, especially when he's been
getting screwed over constantly in these things over the years, would be
more remarkable. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
