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. --- "Hamas isn't really a terror organization." -Terran [Evil Republican] Play Der Langrisser. |
It's
amazing really. Even if he loses...Link has just shown raw Brute
strength of the highest order. Makes every other GFaqs character look
pathetic and weak. --- http://s19.postimage.org/aosug5mrn/Persona4.png |
Master Stuffer He's our hero Gonna take Draven down to zero He's our votes, magnified And he's fighting on the hero's side |
The_Djoker posted... It's amazing really. Even if he loses...Link has just shown raw Brute strength of the highest order. Makes every other GFaqs character look pathetic and weak. Link is stuffing dude. Good luck and best wishes to Draven, we don't want stuffers in this contest. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner!

http://mysentimentexactlee.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Stove-Top-Stuffing-2.jpg this is very relevant --- GT: LegendaryFalco oh ok |
How the hell does Shepard still have 12% of the vote, he's the true hero of this poll! |

That
432 vote update was the best update in history or something (well,it
rivals the first giant cut Draven put on Ryu) in terms of how reactions
go There were like...15 comments on it? crazy |

Makes every other GFaqs character look pathetic and weak. Uh, hello? Did you not read SBAllen's thread? Draven's votes are perfectly legitmate --- Also since people will probably ask, we are indeed checking into the legitimacy of all incoming votes and so far, everything appears to be legit. - SBAllen |

If it's any consolation, I don't think Snake could beat Link anymore even if it turns out he's naturally the stronger character! --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Link's votes are clearly all legit. Nothing can get past the anti-stuffing measures. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
Wait Link might make the biggest comeback in contest history TWICE in one match, and still not win. Either way, I really hope Draven dies after this. If he is able to repeat next round despite lacking reddit, I don't think even Allen could dispute it. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |

You
know, I'm honestly happy we got this match. If things went "as
planned", we would have gotten Mega Man X here in Draven's place, which
would have made things pretty darn boring in comparison. Here at least
we get to watch GameFAQs go to war and attempt to pull a rabbit out of
its ass in the 23rd hour. Draven doing his crap in the first two rounds was ridiculous. Here I'm at least glad that one of the characters here is putting up SOME kind of fight, though to be fair it is the defending champ! Maybe I was just prepared to see Draven getting 60%+ in this poll and was pleasantly surprised when that turned out not to be the case. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |

Sorry. I couldn't find this post when I made my thread. Everyone ignore mine. |
I've missed the last 90 minutes. Surely Link is being stuffed? This is nuts. |
Lightning Strikes posted... Wait "Lacking reddit"? What do you mean? --- Hey I just met you, and this is crazy, but you have died of dysentery. |
I also noticed I haven't seen Kanz anywhere. I consider it nice, but also weird that he isn't here on THE biggest contest day. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |

Hahaha SBAllen gave the okay. It's legit. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
swordz9 posted... I also noticed I haven't seen Kanz anywhere. I consider it nice, but also weird that he isn't here on THE biggest contest day. I saw him over at one of the rally threads on reddit. I think we know where his true loyalties lie. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
I
just hope Snake puts on an underwhelming performance against GlaDOS and
Kefka because if it turns out he really *has* boosted enough to take
Link down naturally that'll make it much more depressing. I can settle
for a legitimate #2. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

Bospsychopaat posted... How the hell does Shepard still have 12% of the vote, he's the true hero of this poll! Major moral victory of this battle. Shepard should hold his head high. Link showed amazing brute strength in his early fending off of Draven's massive attacks He held out better than any other character could. Now he's resorting to the same tactics Draven's been using the whole time and I have a hard time blaming him for it. But a double-DQ and Shepard advances would be unquestionably the best outcome from these shenanigans and I would be so proud. Perfect dramatic ending to all this. |
Link is real! 'Massive influx of traffic from Facebook. I'd imagine some official and/or popular FB account linked to the poll rallying Link.' -Allen --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
I also noticed I haven't seen Kanz anywhere. I consider it nice, but also weird that he isn't here on THE biggest contest day. The board would be yelling at him, you can only take so much of that. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 119/162 Today's Pick: Link |
For the record, Lopen, I was right there with you while you were showing the stuffing. Not everyone thought you were crazy. :P |
SBAllen posted... Massive influx of traffic from Facebook. I'd imagine some official and/or popular FB account linked to the poll rallying Link. Well then. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
swordz9 posted... I also noticed I haven't seen Kanz anywhere. I consider it nice, but also weird that he isn't here on THE biggest contest day. He has to manually stuff because gamefaqs' anti-stuffing measures took out his script. --- POKEFEAR |
Down to 200 though. Looks like it won't last much longer(and certainly won't last for the next 7 hours he needs it to) --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Wait A facebook rally Are you Like Where? Where you rally for Link on Facebook..? |
Karma Hunter posted... If it's any consolation, I don't think Snake could beat Link anymore even if it turns out he's naturally the stronger character! Let's assume that Vivi didn't beat Mario and that a Mario / Link / Snake final was going to happen. What are your predictions for that match? --- Brawl FC - 1332 8069 6690 http://i.imgur.com/OZ9aS.png |
Blech, wrong topic. Stupid multiple topics. Lopen posted... Well it's nice to see now when the evidence slaps people in the face people are actually believing me here that Draven is bogus. (and now Link lol) Hey man, I backed you up 100%. All these idiots calling you a conspiracy theorist need to bathe in their shame. And I really want this stuffer to have Draven win by 1,000 votes, which would be pretty much the exact amount Link lost due to the 90 minute DDOS. That would be the most hilarious thing he could do. Also I want to see a 300 vote Shepard update. I would PAY this stuffer to see that. I mean the hilarious way he's f***ing with Allen, I'm almost starting to like this guy, despite his horrible taste with Draven. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Bospsychopaat posted... How the hell does Shepard still have 12% of the vote, he's the true hero of this poll! For real. Great performance --- http://i.imgur.com/CQVaT6Xl.jpg |
And also reposting... At the moment though, it seems the Link stuffing has shut down and Draven is getting stuffed but at a much reduced rate. Link would probably still win this if the Draven stuffing stopped. Draven sans-stuffing is about equal to Shepard as we saw earlier. Link would be pulling 100-150 vote cuts naturally every update. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
nkansas13 posted... Lightning Strikes posted...Wait Reddit rallies have been banned on Reddit, and are facing auto-deletion. There is one topic that kind of isn't a rally, but isn't super high, not as much as the rally topics were. After the first deletion, Draven took a huge nosedive. It's why this is so suspicious. Either way Draven has weakened from Round 2 so there's hope. Any vote Draven threads will be deleted, so Draven may get killed. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
I just realized how ridiculously simple it is to vote multiple times if you have a smart phone. --- you just can't live in that negative way...make way for the positive day |
Someone else post on Facebook plz. |
TheOceIot posted... I just realized how ridiculously simple it is to vote multiple times if you have a smart phone. Not sure if you want to post it here but yes this method "works" Although I heard somewhere that even though it shows you "vote accepted" it's not really accepted But..this is very easy to do and if it works we are in deep problem |
Justin Bieber has asked people to vote for Link on his Facebook. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |

keeps doing just enough... --- Leafs / Raptors / Blue Jays / TFC / Argos / Tottenham We'll get 'em next year. |
