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. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
wait so, how many notes total does that one Undertale rally post have? --- "i am pretty sure 3-year old children would generate more thoughtful discussion than board 8 on any topic of sexism" - Naye745 |

The worst thing about Undertale winning is that Tumblr may influence the SMB3/Pokemon RBY match. That's unforgivable. Thankfully, I think Tumblr likes both games equally, but... --- The only ray of light in my life is raytan7585. when thinking of Krystal, does GMUN's pants get overcrowded? ~ GMUN |
I'm okay with anything that gets Life is Strange over 25% Go Undertale! --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** (On mobile) |
Tumblr likes Pokemon more --- Your signature is automatically appended to the bottom of every post you make. Your 'About Me' message is displayed on your profile page. You can include any in |

If they like AC over SMW I don't think SMB3 is going to hold up well. I'm sure they'd vote Mario over some random game, but not Pokemon. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
4,000.. something doesn't feel right about that translating to these updates. --- "i am pretty sure 3-year old children would generate more thoughtful discussion than board 8 on any topic of sexism" - Naye745 |
Hopefully Fallout kills Undertale so that Pokemon won't be rallied anymore and can lose to World --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |

From the previous topic: KamikazePotato posted... I think the poll is confused. It keeps updating sporadically. UltimaterializerX posted... The updater is catching things every minute now. So basically Allen is looking into stuff, when a simple look at tumblr tells you everything <_< No, this is the poll results pages being glitchy. Sometimes, you will see incorrect vote totals in between the normal 5 minute update cycle. But the large majority (95% or more) of the time you visit/refresh the results page, you will see the correct vote totals. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Not a big boost that update. It still has a ways to go here. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |
Also, first post probably should have had this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5JvbD2Zc9I so fitting in so many ways --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
pjbasis posted... Hopefully Fallout kills Undertale so that Pokemon won't be rallied anymore and can lose to World I actually have RBY losing to 64 so Pokemon getting a temporary boost would be good for my bracket, but I don't want my points to come from rallies. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |

It took two hours to cut the lead in half again. Time for it to win the whole contest. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
Huh, didn't realize Undertale was made by one of the Homestuck music guys. Guess that explains the love on tumblr. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Reaaally hoping ME can squeeze through this, otherwise this contest belongs to tumblr. --- sharp. distance. |

Ex-Kefiroth posted... Reaaally hoping ME can squeeze through this, otherwise this contest belongs to tumblr. Where can we rally? |
You think anyone would want to rally for ME3??!!? --- "i am pretty sure 3-year old children would generate more thoughtful discussion than board 8 on any topic of sexism" - Naye745 |
Bioware forums? unless they still hate ME3 at any rate I imagine Fallout is incredibly easy to rally for should it be necessary |
Undyne posted... ExTha, this is LtM. Figured as much. You have not, but you are surely not a contest only person anyway. --- I'll be honest, those kind of statistics are alarming to me, and I have no idea how to respond. - ChaosTony Be judged by the seven stars. |
yeah I think rallying for ME3 is a lost cause Fallout 3 is much easier, if Undertale gets past Fallout 3 there is no way I see Mario World beating it --- sig pssssssssssst - http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/568795-soccer-challenge |
1337gamerpr0 posted... Bioware forums? unless they still hate ME3 I guess you could rally for Fallout in this round and hope you get some spillover to ME3 at the same time. --- sharp. distance. |
Where exactly in tumblr is this rally happening? --- Menji+ http://i.imgur.com/pPZsSZU.gif http://i.imgur.com/UswGW35.gif |
rally seems to be slowing down a bit. still don't think it's time to call this match. --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta |
Ex-Kefiroth posted... Reaaally hoping ME can squeeze through this, otherwise this contest belongs to tumblr. Undertale isnt getting past next round. Fortunately fallout is an easy game to rally for since fallout 4 came out. There wont be a better time to reach out to fallout players across the globe. Also we have to look into how many votes undertale gets in total from this. It might be enough to beat me3 but not enough to outlast the juggernauts. At best it beats a mario world. Ocarina is impossible at this point barring a serious rally and even then i wouldnt bet on it. Plus girls like link. Also ocarina of time and link arent innocent in rallying from outside. Oot gets a s*** ton of votes from outside nintendo zelda fan sites. Hence why its so strong same with link. What link did with draven two years ago was nothing short of incredible. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif (edited 11/10/2015 5:26:08 PM)report |
Animal
Crossing is going roughly even with SMW over the last hour or so. When
you factor in the normal GameFAQs votes coming in, this means that
Animal Crossing is getting more than half of votes from the Tumblr rally
in this match. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
It's at 46% now, but it's slowed down. It has to get through this round first before worrying about Fallout 3. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |

Scarlettail posted... It's at 46% now, but it's slowed down. It has to get through this round first before worrying about Fallout 3. Does this even work during european time? If not its screwed anyway sunce fallout would build an insane lead. Not to mention fallout will get way more votes next round anyway. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
Scarlettail posted... It's at 46% now, but it's slowed down. It has to get through this round first before worrying about Fallout 3. It's still gaining more than 100 votes per update, which is more than it needs. |
Menji76 posted... Where exactly in tumblr is this rally happening? Just google "vote for undertale". You'll see a bunch of hits. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |

Life is Strange is getting ready to avoid the tripling! --- "Max... I'll always be with you. Forever..." |
Yuri_LowelI posted... Scarlettail posted...It's at 46% now, but it's slowed down. It has to get through this round first before worrying about Fallout 3. Yeah, with Fallout 4 out and all, I don't see how UT could win. The fanbase is just not THAT big. You could probably rally Fallout fairly easily, too. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |
Yuri_LowelI posted...
Honestly, rallies are so random I'm not even sure we can use this one to determine what will happen against Fallout. I mean just look at Draven, took a while to catch back Jak, then crushed MMX and Ryu then was somewhere in between those with Link and Snake (before the lol sticky topic). And it was kinda weird too vs Mewtwo (after the rallies where back). |
M13_SF posted... ZeldaTPLink posted...Scarlettail posted...It's at 46% now, but it's slowed down. It has to get through this round first before worrying about Fallout 3. I am. Undertale is a great game. |
So uhh where are the votes coming from? The map doesn't show super strong support for Undertale....really anywhere(where you would normally get tons of votes). --- http://i.imgur.com/dpIEizf.gif |
OrangeCrush980 posted... Life is Strange is getting ready to avoid the tripling! That's hella great! I don't know why everyone here is complaining --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** (On mobile) |
Averia posted... Yuri_LowelI posted... yeah but League is massive, if you really wanted to you could probably outrally via Fallout and nip this thing in the bud |
I'm happy as long as it doesn't ruin the contest. Let's go Undertale! --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
one
thing to notice is that I don't believe Life is Strange has cut Fallout
3 at all. And Undertale and Life is Strange are probably similar base
strength. It'll need to get quite a bit stronger next round --- http://steamsignature.com/card/0/76561197979294707.png |
