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. --- New England Patriots: 2-0 |
Our final hours are upon us. --- Sometimes, I rally so hard, I break the site! -GANON1025 Because. -SBAllen |
Somebody tweet Jack Bauer. He has to have a sizeable, rabid following. --- 243 character battle royale? My head hurts. RIP: Tnote827 - 4/4/05 |
dis gon be gud --- Booker T, being the technical master that he is, would have reversed that into some kinda pin-Booker T |
Entropy wins. Entropy always wins. --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |
Let's see if Snake can give us a match worthy of ~4000 stats topic posts like Link did. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
The miracle never happen. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. Congratulations to Guru champion, the mighty raytan. |

This final is going to be as exciting as a dry fart. |

charmander6000 posted... Will the future refuse to change? Maybe. Link is the Hero of Time, though, so he might be able to change it. Some of these people actually think we'd be even more salty if Snake managed to win this after Draven "made it easy for him" by taking out all of the legitimate competition. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. Congratulations to Guru champion, the mighty raytan. |
Seriously, Whoever finishes 2nd is the real winner of this contest. --- Currently Playing : Earthbound(Wii U) Currently Awaiting : Splinter Cell Blacklist(Wii U) |

The rematch would just prove that he wouldn't have. --- Pokemon VGC2013 US National - 39th place Pokemon VGC2013 Worlds LCQ - Top 32 |

That was interesting for about 1.5 seconds. Next. |
Here's
a "neutral rally" thread for the poll on r/gaming. It doesn't even go
directly to the poll, so Draven doesn't get the pic advantage, but that
might result in fewer votes: http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/1mezw9/character_battle_finals_samus_vs_draven_vs_solid/ --- http://www.sporcle.com/user/Jengajam/contributed |
YELLOW VOTE BAR, THANK YOU BASED ALLEN --- "Thank you, thank you, no applause necessary, just send money..." |
Do the ralliers actually wait for the match to start so patiently? It's peculiar. |
And so a hobby I've loved for a decade dies. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
lol the board is sooooo dead. --- Rapid Spin Critical Hit. |
Draven in a blow-out. Who didn't expect this. Even Link couldn't pull this kind of number. --- http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q155/Gamecubesupreme/sf7y9s.jpg http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q155/Gamecubesupreme/DBZFIGHTERS.png |
