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] |

kinsho3 posted... xp1337 posted...I'm just saying that Pikachu faced Shepard directly. Anything that makes Shepard look bad makes Pikachu look bad! Doubtful...though the stats have Pikachu slightly higher than Auron, Pikachu likely wasn't adjusted down enough there. I don't think Pikachu would beat Auron. Scare him maybe, but not beat him. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
If we make Tharja equal to Chrom, Aerith only has 57.28% on The Boss --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 65/81 Today's Picks: Link and Aerith |
You know what the last two matches have taught me? Fire Emblem actually did pretty good. This makes The Boss a near-elite. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Phoenix to round three confirmed. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |

Nice
update from the healer! Still not sure who to vote for. I love both
Shep and Aeris. Love Shep more, but also love my bracket. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/a4GuDV3.gif |

I'm
not even sure why there's an argument here! It was a question as to why
people would connect this match to Pikachu. I don't think it's that
debatable given the direct matchup that any sign of weakness from
Shepard isn't good news for Pikachu. We can argue if this is a bad performance for Shepard or not, but that wasn't the issue I thought! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |

It is as if none of you guys have ever seen an FFVII board vote what is this amateur hour. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
It's
difficult to say what this match means for Pikachu. If Aerith is worth
44% on Auron and Aerith = Shepard, then Pikachu is well ahead of Auron
2010. But Aerith might be weaker in 2013 than she was in 2010. Shepard
might be stronger today than he was then. Wouldn't read too much into
it. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
Guys have we all forgotten Mass Effect 3 happened since last contest, there's no way Pikachu gets 61% on today's Shepard. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 65/81 Today's Picks: Link and Aerith |
Aeris won the board vote last time. FF7 females are different. Shepard will do better as the match goes on, but he can't have more updates like that. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Shepard stallin'. --- When you have nothing to say, quote yourself ~ Solfadore |
Back to stalls. I'd feel a lot better with a cut! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Shepard
winning the US , Aerith needs to build up a solid lead before Europe
goes to sleep, if she wants to win this match, Shepard just needs to
keep stalling. --- ... |
The
Geotrends don't always work like that. SE Asia and Australia wake up
towards the end of the poll and they will likely favour Aerith heavily
and replace Europe's weighting. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
Go Aeris, Go Aeris! Yay! --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
A few more updates like that and I'm going to lose hope for Shepard here. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Wrex did better as time went on in his match. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Wrex did better as time went on in his match. Wrex also had little board/bracket support. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 65/81 Today's Picks: Link and Aerith |
If it's only the FF7 girls with good board votes then let's get the only one who matters in next time aka Yuffie. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
I always thought Yuffie should get contest dibs before Barrett. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/NQTthNf.jpg |
So
if Tharja (roughly) = Lucina, then neither Shep nor Aerith are that far
ahead of Dracula. Maybe ol' Drac does have a heads up on Alucard as our
numero uno blood sucker. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/NQTthNf.jpg |
Nah,
Yuffie isn't all that likeable in the original game (imo). Barret is
with you the whole time, Yuffie is an optional character - I know
Vincent is too but it's different. She's worth a shot in a contest but
should probably still be prioritised below Nanaki. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
Dracula/Barret, who ya got --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
cut --- ... |
I spy a cut! (Small, but hey, I'll take it!) --- When you have nothing to say, quote yourself ~ Solfadore |
How's
it different? The optional status did not stop Vincent from becoming a
very worthwhile contest entry. She has a much better design than Barrett
and has had a much more prominent Square presence since the original
game, appearing in both Kingdom Hearts. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/a4GuDV3.gif |
Yuffie is hilarious in the game and also has Kingdom Hearts. I am still disappointed Barret looked so terrible in his match. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
Tharja
is an optional character, i don't buy her being as strong as Lucina or
Chrom to be honest. Dracula definitely looking good to beat Barret. --- Zinsanity of the Helix Board |
that was a bad update --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Lol Shepard actually went down. He's finished, though I won't be surprised if I'm proven wrong. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
ChenKenichiFan posted... I always thought Yuffie should get contest dibs before Barrett. Red XIII is the one who should have made it. He'd definitely be stronger than both Yuffie and Barret. I do think there's a good chance Yuffie is stronger than Barret though. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
ChenKenichiFan posted... How's it different? The optional status did not stop Vincent from becoming a very worthwhile contest entry. She has a much better design than Barrett and has had a much more prominent Square presence since the original game, appearing in both Kingdom Hearts. Vincent was an instant fan favourite - Yuffie, less so. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
Red XIII is a dog. All you need to know. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Tharja
is an optional character, i don't buy her being as strong as Lucina or
Chrom to be honest. Dracula definitely looking good to beat Barret. While I agree she should be weaker than Lucina or Chrom, she's barely an optional character, yes you can technically miss her, but it is general FE knowledge that any enemy with a face that is not a boss is recruitable. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 65/81 Today's Picks: Link and Aerith |
This match could be done. Aerith is gaining on Shepard all around the world. She's only 2% down within the US too. --- Drop it to the floor... |
Definitely not liking where this is going. I won't declare it over, but... --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
I
really don't think Yuffie is stronger than Barrett. Other than Kingdom
Hearts, she doesn't really have much going for her. Barrett is a much
more "important" character to the game, and Yuffie has a noticeable
amount of people that hate her. I don't really know anyone that hates
Barrett. Other than TJF Vs. RacistFAQS, I really wouldn't have any
reason to pick her. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. |
Great to see Aeris doing so well. I was really worried about this one after Garrus and Wrex did so good, even though I wasn't impressed with Shepard himself - letting Olimar get 35% was a meh performance to me. Odd that Shepard doesn't look to be all that much stronger than his supporting cast. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
charmander6000 posted... Guys have we all forgotten Mass Effect 3 happened since last contest, there's no way Pikachu gets 61% on today's Shepard. Yeah. He'd probably double him post ME3. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
"Other
than Kingdom Hearts" you mean the series that turned Cloud into a Link
killer, launched Auron into noble nine threat, and gave birth to one of
our strongest post 2000 characters <_<. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
