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. --- http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/9919/leonhart.png |
And arguably their two best performances have come with fan art and action figure pics. I see no issue! --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

I still find it amusing that the only FFX character not to reach the second round is Tidus Last time that happened was 2006, but Yuna and Rikku were in the female bracket. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 62/76 Today's Picks: WCC and ? Block |
Marston or Sackboy... What a pain. Who's the favorite? --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
Tidus has still never made the third round. Jecht did it the first time he was in the contest. --- http://i.imgur.com/eqOQs.gif |
...So
if Rikku tripled Lenneth but can only double Lyndis, then Lyndis would
have contended for first against WCC if she and Lenneth had switched
places, RIGHT? >_> --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
With how completely awful the Cube looked, I wouldn't be surprised. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
LeonhartFour posted... Tidus has still never made the third round. Jecht did it the first time he was in the contest. When Tidus last won a match... Saddam Hussein had yet to go on trial. Sandra Day O'Connor was still a Supreme Court Justice. Katrina was just some girl's name. Rosa Parks was alive. --- ~War~ |
I
don't trust John Marston or Sackboy...RDR's bigger than any LBP-game,
but Sackboy in 2010 beats probably any Generic McDude and Marston may be
next in line for that category. It's not like any other three-seed
this contest has done well, either. The big question for me is if Sackboy's lost any strength and recognition since then; his games since 2010 have done poorly here and Playstation All-Stars doesn't look like it helped anyone else from its cast. I doubt he's still as strong, especially if GameFAQs is becoming more insular...but then, I don't think a newer character like Marston gets an advantage from that either. Ugly match for second..... --- T H E S T A B L E - bring on Epona! http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |
So I have DK > Lightning....hmmm... When I made that pick, my initial thought process was '**** FFXIII, DK 4EVA'. Now, for DK to win that match, Lightning (by association with FFXIII) has to be hated to the point where a leeched DK can actually beat her. Dammit...that worries me. I'd like to think DKCR did something to help boost DK's popularity, especially given it was recently rereleased on the 3DS, but Falco just had to be there. A major source of comfort here is that lower-tier Smash characters seem to be faring poorly in this contest, so DK might not be as badly leeched as once thought. Still, it'll be hell going handicapped against a Final Fantasy lead, even if people by and large hated FFXIII. --- Drop it to the floor... |
I must say I voted Rikku because of the picture This is pretty much the only time I did it And yeah I know how much Black Turtle hates virgins that vote for females on this site but voting for a hot looking girl over a stupid block sounds fine to me! (Would not do it if she was against something I care about) |

It's not like any other three-seed this contest has done well, either. You're telling me... Post-PS1 Sony mascots haven't done well (Jak only 55-45'd Chie Satonaka, a character from a game who's main character got blown the hell out by Shadow the Hedgehog; Ratchet didn't even look that good against Shulk, and let it sink in that the other characters from his game were horrible fodder; Nathan Drake struggled against Pac-Man; Kratos in particular failed to double Recette Lemongrass.), and Rockstar has also stunk it up. Also, three seed curse revived? --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
If FF13 wasn't hated, FF13-2 would have had won last year's GotY through simple momentum and Lightning/Barthandelus wouldn't have gotten last place in a vote-in. Besides Sora, has Square created a character since 2003 that could potentially win in Lightning's place against DK/Falco LFF'ing off each other? --- T H E S T A B L E - bring on Epona! http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |
Huh, I'm amazed this match is even close. what ever go my rikku --- Fight like dragons, have no fear, swords are made of STEEEEEEEEL~ |

welp there goes a big chunk of my bracket, had ? Block winning like two matches --- http://i.imgur.com/GhorUQg.jpg ~Masa |
Saying besides Sora makes me think Riku is eligible in his conditions, even though both were created in 2002. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
? Block is being SSF'd and TJF'd at the same time. An injustice to this match. --- Brawl FC - 1332 8069 6690 http://i.imgur.com/OZ9aS.png |
? Block is more of a forced joke, which I find unfunny. Not suprising that its losing this bad |

I want to know the consensus for the following for Expert picking Frog vs. Lugia Gordon Freeman vs. Shadow Vivi vs. SFF'd Ganondorf (by Mario) Jill vs. Kratos Cube vs. Rikku |
Frog Gordon Freeman ....Vivi, probably Jillian Rikku, definitely --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |

Weighted Companion Cube was probably still the favourite among them, though. Even though it was a fairly easy match for the top tiers, a few of them still got the match wrong. No one fell off the Top 49. 1 person got it wrong and survived. RAMS did not have Weighted Companion Cube winning. --- Pokemon VGC2013 US National - 39th place Pokemon VGC2013 Worlds LCQ - Top 32 |

Link to dominate --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Caim is going to win a poll. This is going to happen. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
Link looks FABULOUS but Raiden could easily overperform in a see of bright green. Tharja looks so jealous of Aerith. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/NQTthNf.jpg |
Bacon, I love you. --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
DK sucks in these contests. even if lightning is weak she will still win, because DK is only good at choking. |
seriously Dk lost to tidus who would ever pick tidus > lightning |
Tidus
isn't actually that bad, he got over 46% on Sub-Zero. Granted, getting
60-40'd by Tidus is a bad sign, but more recently DK got 56-44'd by
Vivi, which doesn't look nearly as weak. And for the record, Lightning is still an unproven character. She might be as bad as Balthier. --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
I just set up a prediction topic for the bonus match: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/67001458 There hasn't been any confirmation whether the match will be counted towards the Oracle Challenge. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
oh god the bonus poll --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
The idea that any of Chester/Caim/SBD are going to get double digit percents is already blowing my mind. --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? [HERO'S PLUNGE] http://img.imgcake.com/finegifdy.gif |
Also,
spoilers, if Tidus had gotten Yuna or Rikku's spots in the bracket, he
would've won with ease. He just gets screwjob'd consistently. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

anondum posted... seriously Dk lost to tidus I'm pretty sure Tidus would be the consensus pick over Lightning. If Falco wasn't in this match, DK would be a pretty popular pick. Lightning shouldn't be that strong. -LusterSoldier- posted... I just set up a prediction topic for the bonus match: Pretty much no chance any bonus poll will ever count for the Oracle. They never have before, nor is there any reason they should. Cool poll though, I wonder if Chester's notoriety will boost him. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

superange128 posted... oh hey Luster's efforts paid off Indeed. I wonder if the nature of the poll will actually lead to high vote totals. Normally these three should be obviously junk at generating votes, but perhaps there will be some sort of ensemble power effect :) --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
creativename posted... Pretty much no chance any bonus poll will ever count for the Oracle. They never have before, nor is there any reason they should. The bonus match in the Rivalry Rumble was counted towards the Oracle. I imagine this bonus match will be counted towards the Oracle: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/5265 However, that bonus match was set up by Bacon before the contest even started. That bonus match will end up being Sephiroth/Cloud/Samus or Sephiroth/Snake/Samus, depending on who advances to the final match in the Cloud/Snake match. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Oh my god I was going to vote Shepard but seeing Tharja's quote with her STARING AT AERITH I have to vote Tharja. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
So are we going to try to make Chester even weaker? --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 62/76 Today's Picks: WCC and ? Block |

So, it looks like we are finally going to find out what happens when the very weak force bumps into the easily movable object. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
Seriously guys Tharja's going to get like 25% because of joke votes. That's the best joke ever. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
