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://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2011/8/22/2094c2de-bae8-4f5b-9f27-67eaff0aaeaf.jpg |
If you count the Bonus Poll, maybe. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
Yes. Link will carry us there. >_> --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
xp1337 posted... Yes. Link will carry us there. >_> Link: 1st place in carrying |
Entropy always wins. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Simple role: Don't nominate LOL characters. We do that, we're good. --- Super Smash Bros. 3DS/Wii U Official Site: http://www.smashbros.com/us/ |
If Snake can't slow this down he's going to fall behind Link and then trends probably just seal his fate. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Getting
ugly now. Looks like one way traffic until the reddit rally falls off a
lot more. I think the lead will be too big by then though. --- "Thank you, thank you, no applause necessary, just send money..." |
So what is this about a Link bonus poll? Was that confirmed? --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
the r/gaming rally is doing better than expected but it's still pitiful, 20+ upvotes :D :D |
ZFS posted... So what is this about a Link bonus poll? Was that confirmed? Yep, if you skip ahead to the next poll on the results page, it shows up as Draven vs. Link. --- http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o8250gifyd.gif http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o6250gifuv.gif |
Whatever happened to trying to get Hideo Kojima or David Hayter? Those would be the best right now. And the most Relevant. --- http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb303/metallic_trance/fashionista.png Bianca and Noel have swapped clothes! By metallic_trance. :3 |
Perfectly legitimate rally trends nothing to see here --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
ZFS posted... So what is this about a Link bonus poll? Was that confirmed? Yes. If Draven wins, he'll face Link tomorrow, 1v1. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
I did my part and tweeted AJ. Snake is really impressive here. I still think Link is the only hope though. --- 9/1/13-The Hero of GameFAQs fought bravely but fell to an unrelenting horde supported by a corrupt tyranny. R.I.P. Hero of Time, 7 time CB Champion, Link |
Link against Draven 1v1? Allen redeemed! The Hero returns again you are screwed Draven --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Serious question: Should we make a petition or poll to change the bonus match to Link vs Snake, regardless of who wins today? --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
ZFS posted... So what is this about a Link bonus poll? Was that confirmed? One more day for us to believe. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Lopen posted... Perfectly legitimate rally trends nothing to see here That wasn't tongue-in-cheek, was it? Because these seem totally legit to me. |
quick, have the official Sony youtube channel make a video rallying Snake |
Yeah
this is honestly pretty annoying. The match was actually looking to be
potentially close and interesting, and then one or two tweets makes it a
blowout? Okay. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
perfectchaos83 posted... Whatever happened to trying to get Hideo Kojima or David Hayter? I tweeted both Hayter and Kojima. Hayter seems like he'd do it, but again it's a matter of him noticing our tweets to him. Maybe we should plan a mass tweet to Hayter at a specific time. Same with the others. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |

BK_Sheikah00 posted... Serious question: No imo. If Snake wins I'd support it but Draven is going to win and I want Draven to lose at least once before this contest is over. --- 9/1/13-The Hero of GameFAQs fought bravely but fell to an unrelenting horde supported by a corrupt tyranny. R.I.P. Hero of Time, 7 time CB Champion, Link |
BK_Sheikah00 posted... Serious question: While I personally would rather see that no matter what happens here, if Draven wins I can't be consistent and advocate keeping him out. The winner of this match should get Link. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Yeah
this is honestly pretty annoying. The match was actually looking to be

blowout? Okay. This is what happens, you try to push, they push back harder. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 179/324 Today's Pick: Link |

KamikazePotato posted... Yeah this is honestly pretty annoying. The match was actually looking to be potentially close and interesting, and then one or two tweets makes it a blowout? Okay. I know you can't see this, KP, but considering this is exactly what the Snake Army wanted to do...deal with it. In this arena, each contestant has access to the same weapons. All that matters is how well they're utilized! --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
Can't believe some are resorting to pestering AJ on twitter. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak |
Jesus. Does being at 6 instead of 7 really mean a difference of 200 votes an update? |
Huh, I guess Rivington's tweet actually did work. For those who don't know, Rivington is one of the casters and hosts of the LoL World Championships, which takes place tomorrow (technically today). --- "For zeal for Your house has consumed me, And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me." - Psalm 69:9 |
charmander6000 posted... Yeah this is honestly pretty annoying. The match was actually looking to be potentially close and interesting, and then one or two tweets makes it a blowout? Okay. What sucks is that the people who tweet think they're doing it to get a character from a game they love to win. But they're just falling into the trap of the people who're doing it to get people mad. --- "A game with amazing story and mediocre gameplay usually beats a game with amazing gameplay and mediocre story." - Vlado, Gaming Expert |
Snake
is doing pretty well stalling Draven here. His day vote is still going
to be very good compared to Draven's. Not Link good in the slightest,
but that just means he can't let Draven go up 6000+ votes. <_< --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
ZFS posted... xp1337 posted...ZFS posted...So what is this about a Link bonus poll? Was that confirmed? he's even here with us in this very match. he never quit on us even when the site quit on him Also, Snake with a stall. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
meanwhile samus continues her steady decline. will she make 20%?! also go bug silicon knights too if they have anything. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |
It's
not a blowout. It was 1 tweet that gave Draven a 400-vote spike, give
or take. Snake should go back to stalling and cutting for the next 30
minutes to an hour. It didn't reverse trends. It just delayed them. |
The LoLers managed to get this guy tweet for Draven https://twitter.com/RivingtonThe3rd |
If a tweet from a goddamn announcer can bury Snake for several updates, then he has no chance of winning this, unfortunately. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Man,
you guys. I finally made an account after twenty years of visiting the
site because I needed to vent about what a crazy mess this whole contest
has been and now... I just have no words. Well, aside from "You guys
are nuts, but in a fun way", because I've been lurking the stats topics
hard this contest and wow, you guys are nuts. But in a fun way. Really though, I think this whole thing was a forgone conclusion the moment Link lost despite everything. --- "No, we're doing this my way. No Google, no fancy textbooks - just six tall cans of Steel Reserve and a copy of the Bible." |
Espeon8 posted... Huh, I guess Rivington's tweet actually did work. Yep. Two can play the Twitter game! |
Alright
Kanz you can stop pretending that rallying fir Snake is anywhere near
as easy and simple as it is for Draven. There is not easier, no effort
required rally like a LoL rally. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |

Wanglicious posted... meanwhile samus continues her steady decline. will she make 20%?! I can't imagine anyone from Silicon Knights having any noteworthy amount of followers! --- http://img.imgcake.com/nio/26leonpngat.png http://img.imgcake.com/nio/daigohadoupnguj.png |
Espeon8 posted... Huh, I guess Rivington's tweet actually did work. Jesus Christ, that means he could probably link people tomorrow. We really are on a lost cause here unless AJ. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
KamikazePotato posted... If a tweet from a goddamn announcer can bury Snake for several updates, then he has no chance of winning this, unfortunately. And he's only got about 48000 followers. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Just please, please, can we not respond to the invading trolls in this topic? For Snake's sake? --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
KamikazePotato posted... If a tweet from a goddamn announcer can bury Snake for several updates, then he has no chance of winning this, unfortunately. That's actually not as bad as you think. In E-sports there is kind of a strange phenomenon where the big caster personalities are actually more popular than any of the pro players or developers/what not. --- 9/1/13-The Hero of GameFAQs fought bravely but fell to an unrelenting horde supported by a corrupt tyranny. R.I.P. Hero of Time, 7 time CB Champion, Link |
