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. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |

Yes,
that's it Dancin.' You've lost a half-hour to Chester, at this point
you might as well go full Chester and lose the second half too. Do it.

Shulk didn't get doubled by Altair *gasp* |
So Lucina>Chrom seems sensible by this point right? I wonder which other games there are where the main character isn't the strongest one. FFX is the obvious one, where the main character is actually the weakest, but other than that I don't know. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
By my calculations, Mewtwo is worth about 23,3 Chesters, while Dracula is worth 23,1 Chesters. |
Lightning Strikes posted... So Lucina>Chrom seems sensible by this point right? Based on what exactly do you figure Lucina is stronger? I haven't played FE:A so I don't really know the characters, but nothing we've seen in the contest so far suggests she'd be stronger than Chrom. Dracula could very well be weaker than The Boss. --- Proud supporter of DogFAQs |
Ultimaphazon posted... Lightning Strikes posted...So Lucina>Chrom seems sensible by this point right? Lucina being more liked within the fanbase is far from a ridiculous possibility now of course, how this translates to contest strength remains to be seen |
FF
is good at providing "other character > main character" scenarios.
Kefka has a good shot at being stronger than Terra, Vivi beats Zidane,
Auron crushes Tidus, and you might even argue Rikku over Yuna, who is
the main character of X-2 (no way to really tell though - fun SFF
matches are much rarer than dumb ones, sadly). There are probably plenty
of examples where main characters from other, more popular, games in a
series are present in other entries that have different main characters
which they beat (Link and Zelda, Solid Snake/Ocelot and Raiden, Dante
and Nero etc.). --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
I
think the problem with x-stats in three ways is it kind of relates to
how the other 2 compare to each other. Chester getting the same
percentage against Dracula and Lucina would make him look better than
what he did against Mewtwo and Zero, and I'm pretty sure Chester would
have gotten the same low percentage in any standard match of the main
bracket. --- Green is not a creative color http://themanicdepressives.wordpress.com/ |
2800 votes behind Lugia's match I'm surprised it's not falling behind faster, honestly |
Lugia's match was at night. I can only imagine how bad these votals would be in a night match. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

eh....on second thought maybe not |
The Boss was probably underrated last time, but she's not beating Dracula. He looks pretty legit. Also, Lucina is more popular in the fanbase so there's that. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
Dracula looked legit because he scored 63% against an unknown, the hell am i reading. I am probably one of the biggest proponent of Dracula but we should wait till his match against Sonic before concluding anything. Both Dracula and Lucina are unknowns, we have absolutely zero data on them, we shouldn't really extrapolate through this mega turbofodders match. --- Zinsanity of the Helix Board |
There's not a lot of room of taking Lucina > Chrom and The Boss > Dracula I personally feel Chrom is stronger, but I don't think they will be too far apart. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 63/78 Today's Picks: Zelda and Lightning |
I
wouldn't trust the FE fanbase's preferences on characters to be
relevant to their contest strength for ANYTHING. Hector likely doubles
Lyndis or worse among people there, and then you've got stuff like
Marcus and Gheb who...also have a decent chance of beating Lyndis among
that crowd. I haven't picked up Awakening yet but take it from someone who's been posting on FE-related boards for nearly a decade: we are damn weird. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
I'd
take The Boss to clobber Drac. I don't see him looking too great next
round, and she's not *that* far off from 'card regardless. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Cavia
Inc's protagonists spend 24 consecutive hours on the main page and go 1
for 1. But thankfully the reign of fodder is over, as two thirds of the
bracket has gone and we're finally on to round two. Round 2, Match 1 (1) Link Round 1: 72.67% vs. Isaac (BoI) & Tingle (6) Raiden Round 1: 49.77% vs. Waluigi & Alan Wake (9) Yoshi Round 1: 60.05% vs. Solaire of Astora & Demi-Fiend Link didn't lay down a godstomping in his opening match, but I don't expect him to drop off too much from his round one percentage. Yoshi and Raiden are obviously several times stronger than Isaac (BoI) and Tingle, but they only did as well as they did because of joke and anti-votes anyway. Link got 71% on Luigi in 2010, so that should be a good estimate for how he'll do against Yoshi. I think it'll prove much more accurate than the 82/18 mauling he gave him in 2004, anyway. Raiden didn't look too hot in round one, but Waluigi was being rallied so he can probably be excused. In any event, the set up is perfect for him to overperform - a sea of green with a WW Link pic contrasting with his cyborg form, and he's the only non-Nintendo option in the poll to boot. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he did as well as Alucard did in 2010 on Link. Even then, he still needs a huge assist from Link to get past Yoshi - the little dino would probably have little difficulty breaking 60% on Raiden 1v1. But the set up favours Raiden so heavily - it's even a night match, so the weak MGS day vote is mitigated - that I can't help but go for it. Quote Advantage: Raiden. He could've had something that reminded everyone of his MGS2 self like "Did you say nerd?" but instead he got one from his more popular ninja incarnation that gets Snake's name into his pic. Can't do much more than that. Bracket: Link Expert: Link > Raiden > Yoshi Oracle: Link - 56%; Raiden - 24%; Yoshi - 20% --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |

Man,
I expect Yoshi to get absolutely massacred here. People have a lot more
faith in the dino than me - I don't think Raiden's particularly strong
but losing to a Link obliterated Yoshi just sounds so off to me. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

I hope you're not using the current match to gauge Dracula's power,

I'm
taking Yoshi > Raiden. Link's an incredibly obvious favorite
compared to 2004 when he first smoked Yoshi, which allowed Tingle to do
better this year than Ganondorf that year. Assuming that applies to
Yoshi/Raiden next round, Yoshi can avoid most SFF as well. Revengeance
shouldn't get Raiden that close to Yoshi anyway. --- T H E S T A B L E - bring on Epona! http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |

I
could see Yoshi > Raiden, depending on the severity of SFF. Raiden
isn't worth much, but he does stand out as the only non-Nintendo option,
which helps. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |

Missed
the last match - what is everyone's opinion on Charizard? I thought 66%
on Riku was extremely impressive. It's not that far from what Dante and
Squirtle managed (vs. Laharl and Ramza) against a much stronger
opponent. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/gdl8lcn.jpg |
I'd
take Charizard > Crono and *maybe* Sonic based off that performance.
I said a doubling was what he needed to hit pre-match to validate
himself for the most part and he didn't finish too far off of it. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
I wouldn't, but I certainly wouldn't expect Luigi to hold up like that in this position. Distorted SFF is the order of the day. Yeah how much SFF there is will be hard to predict.

Raiden's
percentage on Waluigi, rally or no, still worries me. Waluigi is most
likely fodder. Yoshi is really just as much of a fan favorite as Luigi
(if not, more). He would have to go back to 2004 levels to get that kind
of SFF. and it seems like Link's SFF power has really weakened since then. I think there are enough Nintendo fans for Raiden to still lose if he's still a low mid-carder. --- "i am pretty sure 3-year old children would generate more thoughtful discussion than board 8 on any topic of sexism" - Naye745 |
charmander6000 posted... I wouldn't, but I certainly wouldn't expect Luigi to hold up like that in this position. Distorted SFF is the order of the day. Yeah but that's straight up almost every match Link has ever had. Yet he still scores that ridiculously distorted SFF on the regular.

Despite
it being a day match, Raiden was killing Waluigi in all the time zones
where a rally wasn't taking place. If you remove the rally, then his
result gets pretty close to what Shepard got on Olimar. I think it's a
sneakily impressive result that should prove itself tomorrow. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

Did I win the Oracle for this match, or was my Caim pick too ridiculously high? Chester and Spring Breeze Dancin' have a maximum amount of board 8 votes they're going to get, and the percentage of people that are going to find either appealing enough to vote for separately of that is just not high enough to deal with someone like Caim that people have actually heard of and who has more appealing design. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking?
