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. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |

The first post-freeze update is going to define the word glorious. --- I pwn you all! |
Draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaven --- Sandor Clegane: The Hound. |
Wow, we got over 500 votes in less than 30 seconds. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
The murder has only begun... --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima SuperNiceDog: Bracket: Good, Taste: Bad |
I predict: Draven 61% Link 30% Shepard 9% |
From: Regaro_Ukiera | #494 and lol shep gonna look like fodder :( At least one thing in this contest makes sense. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
So 300 Votes in 50 seconds would be enough to absolutely dominate most other matches right --- http://img.imgcake.com/RegaroUlquiorrapngse.png |
Nothing will be left of the hero of time once Draven is finished with him, today. --- Allen didn't screw VV, Phoenix Wright didn't screw VV, Mewtwo certainly did not screw VV, nor did paulg screw VV. Vincent Valentine screwed Vincent Valentine. |
Can't wait for the next update --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 119/162 Today's Pick: Link |

*salutes link* this was an impossible mission we set you to --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
-LusterSoldier- posted... Wow, we got over 500 votes in less than 30 seconds. Thus SBAllen's master plan is revealed... --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
How many votes do we have after next update? 3000? 4000? --- http://i.imgur.com/lnKB0m9.jpg http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1184880/davis-again.gif http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8118/8656607511_94178dbf2e_o.gif |

Link will increase percentage look for ot --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
charmander6000 posted... Can't wait for the next update --- I stink at video games. :D Proud to be EPic. |
Oh didn't see this, sorry. Locking mine. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, Rest in peace Kazbar :( |
I'm really shocked the rally started so early. Was it even 30 seconds in? --- Be a good little washing machine, now... o_0 |
If Allen is smart, there won't be an update until midnight tomorrow. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, Rest in peace Kazbar :( |
Pretty sure it was pre-planned. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
What's
almost as funny as how many votes we got in the first three minutes is
how many posts in the stats topic we got in the first three minutes. Actually, it's more funny, at least to me. --- FFIXOwner Character Battle IX Bracket: 124/162 |
OH S*** --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
RockMFR posted... I'm really shocked the rally started so early. Was it even 30 seconds in? There's been a topic on Reddit for over 3 hours. They've been primed and ready for this match. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
xp1337 posted... *salutes link* Interestingly enough, this whole scenario is the only possible one in which Link finally lost outright in a contest...but still can retain a semblance of his "hero" thing. Any other loss (i.e. to Snake) would've been considered a takedown of a villain. --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
Huh, Draven... fell? --- Still smilin' :> |
oh wow Link actually gained in percentage. Still over, though. --- http://i.imgur.com/lnKB0m9.jpg http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1184880/davis-again.gif http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8118/8656607511_94178dbf2e_o.gif |

He gained % but Draven vote lead keeps increasing. --- nt |
THE HYLIAN HAMMER WILL NOT GO QUIETLY --- FFIXOwner Character Battle IX Bracket: 124/162 |
2689
votes after 6 minutes. That almost rivals the number of votes during
the first 5 minutes of Link/Cloud/L-Block/Snake in 2007. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Holy **** this is living up to the hype so far. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
