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. --- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baUY9LFlYh0 - KokorokokoroKOKOROkokoROKokoro-chan iu na http://myanimelist.net/animelist/raytan7585 |
Welcome back, RallyFAQs. We didn't miss you. |
So I guess rallies are allowed after all. May the most popular character win. :) --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site. We're not going to strip out the soul of the site. -CJayC |
It's ok guys. SBell put up a banner He deserves our respect and admiration. Can we just...not make match pics anymore? As a collective? Can we just stop caring about these contests now? --- http://steamcommunity.com/id/CROSSFIYAAAAAAAAH/ Don't bother asking for my Drodo. |
Oh god I accidentally stole the 500th post and I made a typo and now I can't edit it. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
I still want to hear Allen explain how Barkley isn't allowed because he's a real guy and Lu Bu is. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
you are allowed to stop caring when mega man loses. so next time. as he will win this. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |

From: MegatokyoEd | #006 I still want to hear Allen explain how Barkley isn't allowed because he's a real guy and Lu Bu is. He did. It's because he's from a "joke game" or something. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
Look,
the rally is doing *something*. That's clear. But I find it much more
likely that Draven is drawing 200-vote updates and having 200 votes
stuffed than all of these being legitimate. Where were all these votes
last round then? Also, it was the same 400 in the first 3 minutes as in
each 5-minute window since. That's just weird. |
I told you guys the site traffic was a bluff but nooooooo (I will admit the effect the ad banner has could be marginal) Still it's pretty clear we ain't getting back to peak votals! --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
I'm
not sure how the vote totals going up with the topic going back up goes
against the idea that there are vote stuffer(s). All it means is the
vote stuffer(s) are frequently on Reddit, a mod, or in contact with the
mods. One of the above seems likely given that well, what kinda person
would bother with this. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Wait, the conspiracy theorists are still going on, and they're not doing it as a joke? They've surpassed 9/11 Truthers and we never landed on the Moon people at this point. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

And Draven is getting so many more votes than he got against Link because he's stronger in this match than he was against Link.
Link got very, very lucky in facing a significantly weaker Draven than
was showcased in X/Ryu. Mewtwo struggling to avoid the tripling each
update is about as good as he can hope for. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |

Well
this match was fun while it lasted. Don't have to watch to see how this
turns out. Lol at Allen not being "totally convinced" Draven would win. --- YOU SPOONY BARD! SON OF A SUBMARINER! |
Ah, right. Allen allows huge updates like these
to go unchecked. There's no way he'd intervene for something as
"small-scale" as Mega Man swinging 75 votes in only two updates. Damnit. Now that Draven's back on track to dominate this contest, those final fishy updates look like they cost me the Guru. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |

Been
checking in on my phone periodically up to now. Was not too happy to
see Mewtwo's lead go from 100 to 2000, but felt there was a strong
possibility of this happening at some point in the match. And now it's
happening. It's a shame Sephiroth is so far from Mewtwo though. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |

From: Then00bAvenger | Posted: 9/11/2013 2:56:00 AM | #013 Wait, the conspiracy theorists are still going on, and they're not doing it as a joke? it's not at all. honestly, this occurrence is far less surprising than it would have been if Draven had actually lost, that's how strong the evidence for cheating is in past rounds. --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |

Link got very, very lucky in facing a significantly weaker Draven than was showcased in X/Ryu. Mewtwo struggling to avoid the tripling each update is about as good as he can hope for. What you are saying is completely true. I just have one question for you: How does that make any sense at all?? It's the same rally. It's the same Draven. Why would SF Draven and R2 Draven basically double R3 Draven? I'll give you a hint. It involves Draven getting lots of fake votes in these two matches. |
SBAllen posted... MegatokyoEd posted...I still want to hear Allen explain how Barkley isn't allowed because he's a real guy and Lu Bu is. So Allen, are we going to hear what happened with the "certain GameFAQs mod" who told the LoL subreddit that they couldn't post rally threads anymore? --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |

I love conspiracy theories as much as the next guy, but Draven's rally never hit r/all in that match to my knowledge. It did tonight and in X/Ryu. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |

90% of Link's votes last round came from reddit. The gamefaqs rallies that everyone is so proud of did almost nothing. This contest is in the palm of reddit's hand and the only reason Draven was threatened last round was because reddit didn't care about the result and genuinely liked Link. |

Link could have ended this nightmare...and he got so damn close, too. He went down as a martyr, but alas, it seems nothing will stop this mad rampage. Unless Mega Man can pull off an even more impossible upset. |
Direct rallying from other places should be disallowed. Simple as that. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, Rest in peace Kazbar :( |
Mewtwo is pulling in Link-like updates here. Still not enough. What is up with this match. I can think of two solutions: 1-Someone make a thread asking the reddit people to NOT vote for Draven. 2-Someone get Keiji Inafune himself to rally for Mega Man. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |

Unrivaled_T3R0R posted... the only reason Draven was threatened was threatened? We're talking about a poll where a missing 90 minutes possibly swung the match. --- twitch.tv/bonedragons |
Crossfiyah posted... It's ok guys. Again, I say, GTFO. The contests are the only reason this board exists, and it has shrunk in the wake of contests utterly sucking or not existing at all. If that's really how you feel about the thing that brought us together in the first place why are you here? --- SuperNiceDog had a super nice bracket too. |
You've
done it, Allen. You've drained all the fight out of me. I can't even
tell you why you suck anymore. Why this sucks. It just does. It's the
worst thing to happen on here since XIII is cool got banned. Whole thing
is just gross, horrifyingly gross. Not mad. Just...sad. --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
