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. |
Sephiroth/Solid Snake/Samus BA finals imo. |
Actually should have put something about Draven/Mewtwo/Sephiroth Because this match is so boring and unless Mega Man decides to do something crazy,we won't reach the third page until the next match starts |
http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/search?q=draven&sort=new&restrict_sr=on&t=all The mods sure are doing a good job cleaning up those Draven rallies yup yup Only two Draven rallies in the top 60 Mewtwo wins, it's over --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
Oh my god It starts? so early? |
If there is no risk of Draven losing to Mewtwo, I can go ahead and vote for Sephiroth and rage against Draven in peace of mind. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
Ack, dammit. Guess it's over - best hope was hard policing by the Reddit mods. --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
DoctorJimmy133 posted... http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/search?q=draven&sort=new&restrict_sr=on&t=all lol did you actually think that Draven wouldn't get his rallies? If you believed that, I'm totally sorry xD --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
I
saw a Draven rally earlier that linked to directly to the poll and it
was literally deleted in two minutes. I can't believe how easy it is to
fool the mods. --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
I think we all expected a rallied Draven tonight, but there was a chance his Reddit rally would be suppressed. Guess not. --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE RALLIES ARE GONE --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
Prepare yourselves for extreme inconsistency on the LoL subreddit tomorrow n_n --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Ooh. There's still one there though. --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
I only see a new little baby rally with no upboats --- Official Iron Man of C&GN |
Let's not pretend. Draven is the huge favorite/expected to win. He'll get his rally. That's why I hope Mewtwo does well. To not make this match a complete snooze fest. --- Support Shantae: Half-Genie Hero kickstarter. Miyamoto: This Zelda was like losing my virginity, in the sense that we were making something completely new . |
Man Charizard shall lose. I hope next round Red advance but I can't see that happening. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
What's
worse than one character beating Link? Two characters beating Link.
That's why I want Mewtwo to be utterly crushed. If Sephiroth isn't up
to it, then I welcome Draven and his hordes of redditors to get the job
done and make sure no one else can be ranked above Link this year. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
You want everlasting peace? I've got it right here. Oh wait, this isn't Snake. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
432. LOL I wonder what that's equivalent to, if adjusted to 2007ish votals? 800-900 or something like that? --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
Big Battle Network thread on /v/? argh how did I miss this Most underrated series ever Anyway I don't get what is happening,MM had crazy cuts out of nowhere and that was before that /v/ rally (that doesn't do anything) so uh..what? |
Micro-ASV is taking its toll. Mega Man having a real hard time fighting back right now. Maybe he can put something together when Europe goes to sleep but I doubt it. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
I want a no pokemon final so let's go Sephiroth or Draven --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |

I don't understand your logic The entire bracket will be below Jak and Chie in the xstats,it holds no value whatsoever this contest |
Also, go mega man! --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
What happened? A while ago the lead was around 350. Is there a rally? --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
Safer_777 posted... What happened? A while ago the lead was around 350. Is there a rally? If anything,it was a MM rally and now it died and Charizard is winning updates with neutral strength There are no Charizard rallies anywhere |
50 vote swings? Most likely just variance. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |

Julian_Caesar posted... 432. LOL It still got nothing on the biggest update in this contest (and I believe the biggest update ever) Draven pulled 824 vote update against X and Ryu |
Biggest
update ever is the first update of the 2007 final. L-Block led Link by
825 after 5 minutes, and led Cloud by nearly 1000. L-Block 1349 Link 524 Cloud 378 Snake 202 --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
Safer_777 posted... What happened? A while ago the lead was around 350. Is there a rally? Charizard dipped for a few updates. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
aw yeah one of the 202 --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
824 vote update? Are you sure? --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
Well you could say that the first 5 minutes considers an "update" But it doesn't matter because even if they don't,looks like L-Block next update got 940 votes..so..wow |
Megaman has a 4% advantage in America too. Damn you Europe --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Karma Hunter posted... aw yeah one of the 202 ^5 --- http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/9919/leonhart.png |
Nanis23 posted... Julian_Caesar posted...432. LOL I don't trust any numbers from that match. Votals analysis made it pretty clear that something fishy went on in R2 to an extent not seen in R1 or R3 for Draven. What was his best update from either of those? --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
charmander6000 posted... The mods can try all they want, but Reddit users care too much about GameFAQs contests to stop No, I'm sure the vast majority of them just vote after seeing the rally, it takes 10 secondes and they forget about it, just preventing direct linking will probably stop a lot of them. |
Julian_Caesar posted... Nanis23 posted...Julian_Caesar posted...432. LOL 175 in R1 in R3 he got 910 after the first freeze,606 after the second And after the power hour ended his peak was 412 |
The
Legend of Zelda's first update in the Series Contest finals comes very
close to that L-Block update, with 1277. It was 1v1 of course. OOT vs. FFVII 1v1 got similar votals and might also be a contender, but we don't have the updates for the first 6 hours of the match because it was a bonus poll and creative's updater wasn't expecting it. Unless Luster or someone has them. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
First update for FFVII/OOT was OoT - 1191 (58.99%) FFVII - 828 (41.01%) --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonhjpguz.jpg |
No,
I'm sure the vast majority of them just vote after seeing the rally, it
takes 10 secondes and they forget about it, just preventing direct
linking will probably stop a lot of them. It's the loud few you have to be worried about, they'll be trying all day and given what we saw last round the mods seem to be a bit divided with some looking the other way. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 146/234 Today's Pick: Mega Man |
Just
found a new record: The Legend of Zelda had an astounding 1601 votes
at the 5 minute mark against Metroid. I guess that's the power of being
at 84%. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
I
can honestly see tomorrow's match going either way. We're definitely
going to see a weaker Draven, but Mewtwo/Sephiroth isn't as ideal a duo
as Link/Shepard and we all know how desperate some of those LoL fans
are. It's mainly up to the Reddit mods to really crack down on the
rallies, even the stealth ones (i.e. "Riot should do X if Draven wins"),
and I'm not sure how far they're going to go. --- "That choke point bridge in Chapter 2 completely changed my strategy as well as my views on life." - WestbrickIII |
The
things is even if the die hard fans only manage to get rallies for a
few hours (when the mods on are not caring about), it might be enough to
give Draven a big enough lead. Mewtwo and Sephiroth are not Link and they will be sharing their votes. |
Draven
only needs a fraction of what showed up against Link to win, never mind
his Ultimate Draven form from X/Ryu. Ambivalent mods won't cut it -
you're gonna need mods cracking down on the threads consistently all
day. Not gonna happen. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
charizard can barely beat mega man with zero in the poll? pfff squirtle > charizard confirmed |

Mewtwo
has PokemonFAQs and rallying power, so he isn't a complete pushover.
Sephiroth is an issue though, as much as people hated on Shepard he was
really one of the best 3rd wheels that Link could've asked for. --- "That choke point bridge in Chapter 2 completely changed my strategy as well as my views on life." - WestbrickIII |
