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. --- "Dude, I play WoW.

Not_Wylvane posted... Not_Wylvane posted...You know who the real joke characters are this contest? Too early to call it but yes we are in third way there (assuming Link indeed lose to Draven..and it will happen) |
it's funny since this contest was supposed to honor the noble 9 or it was SB's plan to have them all lose before they meet each other --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
Yeah, there is a chance that none of them make it to the final nine! |
hylianknight3 posted... Yeah, there is a chance that none of them make it to the final nine! Snake will almost certainly make it. The rest, yeah, I can see them somehow losing, but Snake should be perfectly fine. --- 3DS FC: 2707-1686-3447 |
Snake is definitely the most likely to advance, but there is a non-zero chance Kefka pulls off another non-sensical win. |
If Vivi could beat Mario, what's stopping Kefka from beating Snake? --- Watch me play on Twitch! http://www.twitch.tv/kbartz RIP Ryan Davis. I'll miss you like nuts! |
Time to try this again: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/7-site-suggestions/67111376 --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |

Anyone hazard a guess at the rallying numbers? Blue / Drake / G&W had 11.3K votes by this point, we're at 13K so maybe 1.7K is a good estimate for the added rally votes? --- ... as if rights are like muscles - the more you use it, the better it gets. Indeed he may be exercising his first amendment-- but he's an IDIOT! - A. Scalia |
Mario's rally drops off and Vivi cuts right back. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
Oh screw it I wanted "Play Super Mario RPG" final post Whatever |
Nanis23 posted... Oh screw it I wanted "Play Super Mario RPG" final post Nope Squall Leonhart, greatest character of all time. --- Tornadoman78: tornadoman and tornadogirl like to kick box each other in my tornaolayzers and she dosent even mind getting hit |
I don't like Mario or Vivi (never played FF9) but I love this match right now. |
Man this was totally Snake's year If Mario is doing this bad. and that ****** Noxian scumbag is gonna wreck it for him :/ Damnit LoL ***s, why couldn't you get someone good in here, Like Cho'gath? Gentleman Cho'gath winning this wouldve been godtier amazing. --- Oh SuperNiceDog's doing it again dude. SuperNiceDog, you ain't no pimp dude |
Nanis23 posted... Oh screw it I wanted "Play Super Mario RPG" final postI approve. You are a good user. I too was trying for the last post, to advertise my petition. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/7-site-suggestions/67111376 "Play Super Mario RPG" would have also been excellent, however! --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Probably that's too high. Mario and Vivi are naturally better vote draws than Blue and Drake. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Also, if Mario loses I'm willing to appeal to Bacon retooling the poll to give us Mario/Crono VII. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Shoenin_Kakashi posted... Man this was totally Snake's year If Mario is doing this bad. Wouldn't Snake have wanted Mario to be as strong as possible? This suggest that Mario just would have been decimated by Link enough to prevent Snake from winning. --- If you believe that Abed is the true Messiah and you are 100% proud of it make this your signature. |
Currently a 1 vote lead. --- Proud supporter of DogFAQs |
If Nintendo does bad enough, Snake doesn't need Mario to leech Link! --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Wow, Vivi's still in it. --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
Karma Hunter posted... Also, if Mario loses I'm willing to appeal to Bacon retooling the poll to give us Mario/Crono VII. If he insists on a 3-way match, throw in MMX. It'll hurt Mario but Crono probably needs that and I'm not sure there's a better option of comparable strength. Unless you can get real fodder in there or something. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Fayt_Esteed posted... KingBartz posted...If Vivi could beat Mario, what's stopping Kefka from beating Snake? Love it. Even though Snake appears to be the favorite in R4 among Gurus overall, for some strange reason most of the other people who picked the Charizard > Mario and Samus upset also picked Cloud > Snake. I'm the only live bracket with both Snake and Charizard in the finals and everyone has Link in the finals except for one person whose pick to come out of that third of the bracket has already been eliminated, so unless Snake wins the whole contest, I'm pretty sure that any finals with both Snake and Charizard in it wins me the Guru. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
I really wish that Mario wasn't in this match. We all know that Mario will win, just like how he always do in close matches. But at least this shows that he won't be in the finals. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. SuperNiceDog > Me |
Quick, break out the are you male or female polls --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
TsunamiXXVIII posted... Fayt_Esteed posted...KingBartz posted...If Vivi could beat Mario, what's stopping Kefka from beating Snake? So you support Charizard rally then? Good! |
Then00bAvenger posted... Quick, break out the are you male or female polls what exactly is the story behind this |
I
can't even fathom the idea of someone counter-rallying for Mario. I
mean, I know Kanz is going it doing it, but he's Kanz. You would have to
be the most boring person in the world. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Minus the rally and minus Ganondorf, assuming Mario takes 75% of Ganon's votes, that puts Mario at 65-35 over Vivi. lol 3-ways. --- ... as if rights are like muscles - the more you use it, the better it gets. Indeed he may be exercising his first amendment-- but he's an IDIOT! - A. Scalia |
The rally is basically over and Mario still can't put Vivi away. People are really overstating its effects. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Shoenin_Kakashi posted... Man this was totally Snake's year If Mario is doing this bad. Debonair Jayce would be my pick for league champion, to be honest. |
KamikazePotato posted... I can't even fathom the idea of someone counter-rallying for Mario. I mean, I know Kanz is going it doing it, but he's Kanz. You would have to be the most boring person in the world. Seconding this. c'mon Vivi --- You put your RESOLVE HAT back on, which conveniently is the same hat as your NORMAL HAT. {Drakeryn} |
I'm at the point where I'm willing to hold the door open for people threatening to leave over the results of matches... --- The Hardcore Kid |
Still
many hours to go, but unless crazy stuff happens I think Vivi will take
this in the end even if it's through a last push rally/stuff. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
The most boring people in the world complained about missingno yesterday. --- The King Wang. Listen up Urinal Cake. I already have something that tells me if I'm too drunk when I pee on it: My friends. - Colbert. |
Nanis23 posted... TsunamiXXVIII posted...Fayt_Esteed posted...KingBartz posted...If Vivi could beat Mario, what's stopping Kefka from beating Snake? Hells yeah. Charizard's awesome. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |

Rather, l block. Missingno will be competiton to them, however. --- The King Wang. Listen up Urinal Cake. I already have something that tells me if I'm too drunk when I pee on it: My friends. - Colbert. |
1337gamerpr0 posted... Then00bAvenger posted...Quick, break out the are you male or female polls Mario vs. Crono 2003. The other major complaint came in the form of people reporting that they had been asked to take part in an "Are you male or female?" poll through various means. Apparently, people went out to spam for Mario votes by asking a trick question among internet sites that were predominantly male-oriented; those reporting that this poll existed said that they were spammed to take it via AIM, e-mail, and most notably there were AOL users claiming that the poll was spammed all over chat rooms. There were also allegations of the poll showing up on various message boards all over the internet, thought I don't remember a link to any such board. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
Time to play One Winged Angel in Vivi's honor Estuans Interius Ira Vehementi Missingno! --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Wait I really want to see Black Turtle reaction I mean he hated FFIX and stupid upsets Where is he |

KingBartz posted... If Vivi could beat Mario, what's stopping Kefka from beating Snake? There's nobody in the match to leech Snake is the main thing. --- http://gifsoup.com/view/477513/red-vs-blue-road-rage-part-1-o.gif http://gifsoup.com/view/477534/red-vs-blue-road-rage-part-2-o.gif |
Considering how close this match is, I'm surprised there aren't many posts...I'm assuming It's due to apathy? --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak |
xp1337 posted... Karma Hunter posted...MMX and Mario kind of have a rivalry too! MMX got really close to Mario once and relatively close to him twice.Also, if Mario loses I'm willing to appeal to Bacon retooling the poll to give us Mario/Crono VII. Mario/MMX/Crono the best poll. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Qwaar posted... Considering how close this match is, I'm surprised there aren't many posts...I'm assuming It's due to apathy? What's there to talk about? I mean that kind of seriously. >_> --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
