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://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
first --- David Hayter Seriously, Who in the hell is "Draven?" (Sounds like a draggy crow.) |

This contest result... It fills you with Determination. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
I wonder if tumblr likes Goldeneye. |
So how big is Phoenix's win going to be do we think? --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
pjbasis posted... there goes bracket --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
Karma Hunter posted... So how big is Phoenix's win going to be do we think? Skyrim makes contest history by being the first entrant to resign during a match. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |

Ulti, referring to your post at the previous thread... ever heard of a character named Shantae? --- Ole, ole, ole, ole. Ole! Ole! (Accents and inverted !-marks missing) On a bet with three other users on if a certain girl genie will be in Smash; I say no. |
How much did LIS cut into FO3 during the rally? Just curious. |
_Dog posted... Ulti, referring to your post at the previous thread... ever heard of a character named Shantae? Nope. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
_Dog posted... Ulti, referring to your post at the previous thread... ever heard of a character named Shantae? This is actually a thing outside of the GameFAQs SSB4 board? --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
VeryInsane posted... How much did LIS cut into FO3 during the rally? Just curious. Fallout was at 81% before the rally started. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
VeryInsane posted... How much did LIS cut into FO3 during the rally? Just curious. Fallout only gained about 3000 votes once the rally started. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
UltimaterializerX posted... _Dog posted...Ulti, referring to your post at the previous thread... ever heard of a character named Shantae? Fair enough. There exists a movement to bring the character into Smash, and the fanbase has deluded themselves into thinking they can successfully bring her into Smash. So throughout some time I offered to bet with them on whether or not Shantae will get into Smash, and three accepted. --- Ole, ole, ole, ole. Ole! Ole! (Accents and inverted !-marks missing) On a bet with three other users on if a certain girl genie will be in Smash; I say no. |
so how long do you have to wait before they concede the character isn't getting into Smash --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
wait, how many votes did SMW gain once the rally started then? |
Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is one of the underrated game I had played. Girl genie powah. --- IGN: Raymond, 3DS FC: 1349-7340-1111 (ORAS) / 3DS FC #2:4785-7678-2315 (XY & Rumble World) http://myanimelist.net/animelist/raytan7585 |
This contest has lost all credibility!!! --- Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
I
spent most of the day away from here knowing every result is a foregone
conclusion, I came back 2 minutes ago. What the f*** has happened? --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak PSN ID - Kudaark Steam Name : skaalfa |
LeonhartFour posted... VeryInsane posted...How much did LIS cut into FO3 during the rally? Just curious. Ok, so it's about 10%... on the release day of Fallout 4. Crazy. (But I assume most gamers are... well, playing the game right now) |
LeonhartFour posted... so how long do you have to wait before they concede the character isn't getting into Smash When Nintendo/Sakurai announces no more characters--basically when they make their selection out of the ballot. Or when Smash 5 gets announced, or something like that sort. --- Ole, ole, ole, ole. Ole! Ole! (Accents and inverted !-marks missing) On a bet with three other users on if a certain girl genie will be in Smash; I say no. (edited 11/10/2015 8:52:27 PM)report |
VeryInsane posted... LeonhartFour posted...VeryInsane posted...How much did LIS cut into FO3 during the rally? Just curious. It will be easier to rally for fallout next week. This was basically fallouts gamefaqs strength. That alone will be enough to beat undertale but a few minor rallies should seal the deal --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
Undertale is really going to put up 1000+ over ME before the end...just insane...where is the rally getting this stamina from? --- sharp. distance. |
Oh
wtf, just checked in on the polls now. Looks like some tumblr rally?
The hell? I thought we were through this outside rally bull****.
Naturally they rally for some indie garbage instead of Minecraft. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
Nanis23 posted... This is f***ing insane It doesn't. Draven was getting about triple the votes of Undertale per update, in a three-way match. (edited 11/10/2015 8:55:16 PM)report |
what in the world i just got back and see --- raytan is the guru champ, yo yo yo He won it in the year of the draggy crow |
Our
vote totals are too low now. Combined with the rise of social media,
significant rally power is no longer limited to a small number of large
entities that largely didn't care about our contests. It's a problem
that will just get worse over the years assuming we have any future
contests. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
So where do the rallies strike next? SOTN/PW? or are we really free of them until next round when SMB3 goes down with all our hopes and dreams? --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... Oh wtf, just checked in on the polls now. Looks like some tumblr rally? The hell? I thought we were through this outside rally bull****. Naturally they rally for some indie garbage instead of Minecraft. To be fair, people (and my dumb *** included) should've posted in the Minecraft Wiki about incoming rallies. That's one of the go-to places for Minecraft fans |
I just got home and what the CHRIST happened --- JAK The Character Battle IX people's champ. |
I'm hopeful it gets shot down next round, but Mario/Pokemon is already ruined. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
At
this level of votals, you don't need to be anywhere near Draven to make
a deep run in these contests. People are seriously overestimating the
backfire rate on a targeted rally for all but the biggest of big dogs. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |

It's a problem that will just get worse over the years assuming we have any future contests. I really do think that this very moment, Undertale winning a contest match, is the death knell for the contest. --- Board 8's Voice of Reason http://i.imgur.com/chXIw06.jpg |
Hearthstone
might actually get to do something to OOT. Might scare it. The
community may have mixed feelings right now but the twitch chat and
reddit and everything else is quite the trolly type and people are going
to pay attention just because the new Adventure's coming out that day. |
YEAAHHHHHH The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim0% 0 Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney100% 9 TOTAL VOTES --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
