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. |
Uh... go go Snake! For my expert, of course --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
Should
we rally for Samus on Nintendo places? Im serious. Any backfire votes
for her would be more likely to go to Snake than Draven still helping
Snake out |
lets go snake --- They let us play with markers... ...But I keep trying to draw infinity. |
Doctor_Vodka posted... Should we rally for Samus on Nintendo places? Im serious. Any backfire votes for her would be more likely to go to Snake than Draven still helping Snake out Of course. I said that pre-match and I stand by it. --- Twitter. Kojima. A new era in GameFAQs contests. |
Any attempt to rally for Samus will probably just die because she has no chance of winning. --- http://www.miscupload.com/upload/452457071929141623517416.gif |
Doctor_Vodka posted... Should we rally for Samus on Nintendo places? Im serious. Any backfire votes for her would be more likely to go to Snake than Draven still helping Snake out Yes. Just rallying for the poll anywhere that is not LoL oriented will help Snake, honestly. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
Doctor_Vodka posted... Should we rally for Samus on Nintendo places? Im serious. Any backfire votes for her would be more likely to go to Snake than Draven still helping Snake out Absolutely. Any Samus run-off going to Snake would be massively helpful. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
I hope Allen's taking precautions so that the site won't go down tomorrow. --- They don't always think it be like it is, but it do. ~KF~ |
So, when do we expect this to... get better? Morning vote/9 AM-ish when GameFAQs votes become less awful? A little later than that because Snake isn't Link and Samus will ruin everything? --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Back over 700 now. But at least Draven seems to be falling off big-time too. --- Twitter. Kojima. A new era in GameFAQs contests. |
Draven keeps dropping off. If only Snake could start spiking up again. --- http://img.imgcake.com/nio/26leonpngat.png http://img.imgcake.com/nio/daigohadoupnguj.png |
I don't see a Samus rally doing much, but I guess it couldn't hurt. Doubtful it would help Draven in any way. --- ~Nat http://rainwave.cc - Video Game Radio |
We cannot let Draven break 1000... --- -Merc |
LeonhartFour posted... Any attempt to rally for Samus will probably just die because she has no chance of winning. This. Instead of putting effort into a Samus rally, why not try to actually make a difference with Snake rallies? |
AsurasKordoth posted... We cannot let Draven break 1000... Oh, that's going to happen, don't doubt it. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
When
GameFAQs intake goes up, Snake will benefit. So yeah, morning vote.
Samus will be helped some but she won't benefit nearly as much as normal
because Snake has the bandwagon factor. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
xp1337 posted... So, when do we expect this to... get better? Honestly? We don't know. I'd say the ASV - the morning vote will hurt Draven, but he has potential to spike in an absolutely stupid way (we're talking 800+ updates) if people flock to the Subreddit as the Worlds Championship approaches. Afterwards things should calm down a bunch. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
LeonhartFour posted... Any attempt to rally for Samus will probably just die because she has no chance of winning. Not if said rally begins by saying that Link gained over 10K votes on Draven during the day and we need Samus to do the same. --- Twitter. Kojima. A new era in GameFAQs contests. |
Doctor_Vodka posted... Should we rally for Samus on Nintendo places? Im serious. Any backfire votes for her would be more likely to go to Snake than Draven still helping Snake out I've got a post on r/smashbros and Super Smash Bros. Melee's FB page, but it's hard to get any real circulation there. |
Alright friends Look for another Trent tweet tomorrow, and I'll work on Cena, Kofi, and maybe AJ when I'm sober enough. Hopefully we've done enough for snake to keep it interesting overnight. --- SephirothG post http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1268566/awwyeah.gif |
What's up with gamefaqscontests.com having erratic update times? --- -Merc |
xp1337 posted... So, when do we expect this to... get better? 8:40 AM EST is when Draven peaked against Link. At this rate, with 4 hours to pad the lead Draven can't be up by more than 3k if Snake starts to comeback. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
Link
started getting intermittent stalls at around 7:15 am, sustained stalls
at 7:45, and consistent gains around 9:30. Snake has a weaker day vote,
but the site-wide banner should more than make up for that. --- Twitter. Kojima. A new era in GameFAQs contests. |
xp1337 posted... So, when do we expect this to... get better? This reddit thread was also up for longer it should in theory start slowly dropping down the front page of r/lol quicker than the Link match did(right around late morning), but with the match close, it might just stay #6 which is bad was worlds draw closer. |
Mershaaay posted... Hopefully we've done enough for snake to keep it interesting overnight. We probably have. Compared to where Link was this is phenomenal for Snake. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Mershaaay posted... Alright friends Thank you. --- DonDonDiDi |
AsurasKordoth posted... What's up with gamefaqscontests.com having erratic update times? It's updating when the site is. The freeze was at 3 minutes into the match, so it's updating every 5 minutes from that point. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |
Yes, Rally Samus. Her votes won't spill into Draven. There is no negative to Rallying Samus in this. --- http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb303/metallic_trance/yachirumii.png Thanks, metallic_trance! |
Oh,
there's no negative to rallying Samus. I'm just skeptical you'll get
much out of it. It won't sustain itself because Samus is so far out of
it. --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif |
Yeah, I think even in a pro-Nintendo/Samus area you're probably better off going for Snake based on Brawl. I mean, if it's purely Metroid or something, sure it won't hurt, but Samus is so far behind it probably goes nowhere. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Kinda shocked the Kojima tweet did so little, actually. I really thought that'd be a turning point. --- The Legend of Snake: http://tinyurl.com/3cal86z The LoS Instruction Manual: http://tinyurl.com/3jlax8h |
rally for samus. but mention that Snake is the one who needs the most help to win. so basically places where both should be doable. it's harder finding places that wouldn't be okay with voting for Snake to win. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |
Separate
note of interest: We are currently about 2500 votes behind the pace of
our most popular poll ever and are currently outgaining it by a decent
pace. We could make history tonight, folks. --- Twitter. Kojima. A new era in GameFAQs contests. |
Yeah, the Hayter tweets were much bigger than Kojima's. That was pretty surprising. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
DidYouMWISMe posted... Kinda shocked the Kojima tweet did so little, actually. I really thought that'd be a turning point. Yeah, Kojima, then Trent and Snake... dropped off the face of the Earth. That was really jarring. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
Kojima tweet didn't go to his English feed. That's what really hurt it. --- Welcome to the League of Downtime. |
xp1337 posted... Yeah, the Hayter tweets were much bigger than Kojima's. That was pretty surprising. Probably because it was an RT, not an actual tweet, it only linked to the main page, and it was on a Japanese account. --- Twitter. Kojima. A new era in GameFAQs contests. |
Wanglicious posted... rally for samus. Snake gets less anti-votes than Kirby. Snake is practically unantivotable. There's practically no places that wouldn't be ok with it. |
DidYouMWISMe posted... Kinda shocked the Kojima tweet did so little, actually. I really thought that'd be a turning point. Japan must really hate GameFAQS. --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
I'd
imagine because because it was a link to the front page and not to the
actual poll itself. Like Trent's tweet was to the mobile GFAQs site. --- http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb303/metallic_trance/alucardteatime.png My Tsundere trio! Courtesy of metallic_trance. :D |
Karma Hunter posted... Kojima tweet didn't go to his English feed. That's what really hurt it. Given most of America is asleep, I was actually putting stock in Kojima's Japanese fans caring enough to visit and vote. ...Guess I overestimated Japan's interest. --- The Legend of Snake: http://tinyurl.com/3cal86z The LoS Instruction Manual: http://tinyurl.com/3jlax8h |
Draven pulling away fast now. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak |
Lol mershaaay is suspended Allen literally sabotaging --- SephirothG Don't let 'em fool ya |
There are already more votes in this match than in yesterday's match. --- Sometimes, I rally so hard, I break the site! -GANON1025 Because. -SBAllen |
Suspended? For what? --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
ItGetsWorse posted... Lol mershaaay is suspended xp1337 posted... Suspended? --- http://i.imgur.com/PL5UKJj.png Bearer of the Mark of Kan. |
