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 |

So
what would be the strongest game(not counting rallies so don't say
League of Legends) That wasn't nominated? Are we assuming brawl is even
worth anything anymore. Skyward Sword certainly wouldn't be. Legend of
Zelda NES maybe. |

Skyward Sword certainly wouldn't be. Legend of Zelda NES maybe. Super Mario Bros. 1 would be able to flex on a lot of weaker opponents. But other than the obvious SMB1 and LoZ, I assume that anything actually strong would've made it. But I feel that there are some games not here that could go toe-to-toe with a lot of the borderline fodder games like Journey, Ratchet and Clank, and Age of Empires, such as Jak 2 or Silent Hill 3. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses (edited 11/11/2015 1:34:40 PM)report |
I imagine Brawl would be at least SSB4 level --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |

Links Awakening would wipe away most fodders and even some Midcarders. But you can't really expect so many zelda games to get in for such a spread out franchise. |

Brawl
and Super Mario Bros. are probably the strongest snubs, outside of more
games from the same series there aren't too many snubs that wouldn't be
fodder. I made a list in another post based on the games from the best snub contest Devil May Cry 3 God of War Kirby Super Star Mega Man 2 Mortal Kombat 2 Secret of Mana South Park: The Stick of Truth Star Fox 64 Street Fighter II Not 100% sure they wouldn't be fodder. You could add Golden Sun and Pac-Man to the list. --- BGE3: Today's Matches Skyrim>PW, GE007>Diablo II, MP>Morrowind, HL2>DS Points 20/24 |
So SFF, but for the nominations instead of the battles. Yup it's the biggest reason why we have no Mega Man games, even a series like Pokemon is quite underseeded. --- BGE3: Today's Matches Skyrim>PW, GE007>Diablo II, MP>Morrowind, HL2>DS Points 20/24 |
7 Hours to next round SM64 will probably SFF MK8 to the ground Twilight Princess will 70%? Skies of Arcadia Persona 4 will swipe the floor with 999 (70%?) But is FFT RE2 even debateable or it's clear that FFT got this? Is a RE2 HD remake hype going to have any effect or FFT easily got this? --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
I
doubt Brawl would have much of any strength in this contest. Almost
everyone has moved on to Smash 4 and look back at Brawl as inferior in
every way. It would have no good reason to be in this contest. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |
charmander6000 posted... South Park: The Stick of Truth This would probably be annihilated in an instant, but the rest of that list seems on par with at least the likes of Ratchet and Clank and Journey. I didn't even realize Star Fox 64 wasn't in the contest; for a site that is supposedly entrenched in Nintendo nostalgia, that seems like a pretty noticeable exclusion. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
Would Persona 4 win by that much? I don't expect much out of 999, but this is a game that got 70/30 by RE4. FFT/RE2 is still debatable, though FFT is the favourite. --- BGE3: Today's Matches Skyrim>PW, GE007>Diablo II, MP>Morrowind, HL2>DS Points 20/24 |
charmander6000 posted... Brawl and Super Mario Bros. are probably the strongest snubs, outside of more games from the same series there aren't too many snubs that wouldn't be fodder. Pac-Man would sadly be fodder. Tetris is rather a pushover in these contests, and other games like it (where everyone knows it but doesn't really love it) are weaker, such as Space Invaders, Galaga, Pong, and other games of the time. Heck, you could probably put Angry Birds and to some extent Street Fighter II into the group. --- 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. |
I

every way. It would have no good reason to be in this contest. Just because it's inferior doesn't mean people have stopped liking it. --- BGE3: Today's Matches Skyrim>PW, GE007>Diablo II, MP>Morrowind, HL2>DS Points 20/24 |
not
everyone is crazy about Smash like we are. Brawl would be fine, much
better than 4 at any rate. it would have dropped because new games have
dropped, but in the same way that like Galaxy will drop. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
While
Tetris would defeat Pac-Man I think the game would have some strength.
There was some talk in the past of making Pac-Man the character the
fodder line, maybe the same could be said about the game (should it ever
make it in a contest). --- BGE3: Today's Matches Skyrim>PW, GE007>Diablo II, MP>Morrowind, HL2>DS Points 20/24 |
charmander6000 posted... I doubt Brawl would have much of any strength in this contest. Almost everyone has moved on to Smash 4 and look back at Brawl as inferior in every way. It would have no good reason to be in this contest. I just don't see it beating any decently strong opponent. It isn't really liked much anymore and doesn't have the nostalgia of Melee. I honestly believe 4 is notably stronger than Brawl now. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |

It would have no good reason to be in this contest. I don't agree. As one who frequently visits the Smash Wii U board, almost all who like the game also like Brawl--those that didn't like Brawl and like 4 are bound to prefer Melee over both of them anyway. Brawl would do respectably in this contest. --- Ole, ole, ole, ole. Ole! Ole!

Also I don't think Golden Sun would be strong Dark Dawn made me lose interest in this series, I am sure I am not the only one Maybe Rayman 2? I dunno --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Rayman 2 would be fodder, unfortunately. --- http://img.imgcake.com/whatisurnameplz/kermitgifre.gif Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
charmander6000 posted... Would Persona 4 win by that much? I don't expect much out of 999, but this is a game that got 70/30 by RE4. That was Pre Persona 4 Golden. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/4444-whats-your-all-time-favorite-4-game - Pre P4G http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/4958-best-of-2012-best-role-playing-game-japanese GOTY Bare in mind P4 is an enhanced port. Enhanced ports of games like FFX have done crap. Thats golden alone. The exact same "4" poll 3 years laer http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/5467-whats-your-all-time-favorite-4-game Persona 4 is WAY stronger than it was in 2010. Thats not even up for debate. This isn'tthe same game that barely beat Dead Rising. It's much much stronger now. (edited 11/11/2015 2:29:02 PM)report |
And Persona 3 was supposed to beat Dragon Quest 8 easily. --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? |
Safer_777 posted... And Persona 3 was supposed to beat Dragon Quest 8 easily. Theres no evidence for Persona 3 beating DQ just hope. Persona 4 would beat DQ8 easily. doesn't mean Persona 3 would. The only polls we have on P3 is getting more than doubled by FFIX and barely beating Civilisation IV. That was 2010. Since then theres no evidence to show if P3 has gotten popular.

I'm going to ignore the last poll and pretend Xenoblade>Persona 4 tbh! |

I had DQ8 > P3 and took P4 > --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
I have a feeling that result isn't in the cards. >_> --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
And I didn't think SMB3 being doomed because of an Undertale rally was in the cards but here we are --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Is
the tumblr crowd actually sticking around to vote in other matches?
The votals seem to be higher by more than I'd expect if it were just
people that didn't see the link until today or something. I actually really hope that's the case to be honest. It could be a pretty great way to inject some uncertainty into these results seemingly without the obnoxious invasion aspects associated with the Draven rally (though to be fair that did bring about some hilarious things I suppose). --- This was my signature, but Raytan, 2013 Guru champion, took it away. |
I
gotta say, today's matches make me feel a little less confident in
SMRPG > Oblivion. GE is doing worse than I expected, and Morrowind is
doing better than I expected. GE is basically equal to 2010 MGS4? Not
impressed. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
FFT is a top five game, but RE2 is a top one game. Let RE2Make hype be a thing, please. --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus |
Also, Skyrim/PW1 is still about 5500 votes ahead of where Mario 3/AoE2 was at the same time. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

Without
a rally there is nothing really to discuss. And all these matches were
not debated at all. Even tomorrow matches aren't debated. --- Why do we exist?What happens when we stop existing? |
SMB3 vs Pokemon was a great discussion --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
Anyone else notice that Mass Effect was actually #11 on that list of Tumblr's most popular games of 2014? http://www.gamezone.com/news/tumblr-reveals-the-video-games-people-reblogged-about-the-most-6312-jrbv The painful irony! --- Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
pjbasis posted... SMB3 vs Pokemon was a great discussion key word "was" --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I thought Diablo II > Goldeneye was a pretty real possibility, although I do have Goldeneye in bracket. Also on that note, did people expect Goldeneye to be at a level where it was far stronger than 2010 MGS4? I don't know why anyone expected that, but it at least finally explains why there were so many people talking about Goldeneye > Skyrim seriously. --- This was my signature, but Raytan, 2013 Guru champion, took it away. |

LeonhartFour posted... 2010 MGS4 lost to SotC, so that's not a high bar to clear. I guess I'd disagree with this also. SotC also almost beat MGS3 during that year. You can call that some kind of bandwagon shenanigans increasing SotC's strength if you want, but that's a theory I've never believed. MGS4 also looked really strong in 2009. --- This was my signature, but Raytan, 2013 Guru champion, took it away. |
pyresword posted... You can call that some kind of bandwagon shenanigans increasing SotC's strength if you want oh good because it was MGS2 or MGS4 would not have been close to MGS3 in a direct match (and that's before the SFF) pyresword posted... MGS4 also looked really strong in 2009. you know what didn't look really strong in 2009? MGS2, which MGS4 was suddenly equal to one year later And you know what didn't look really strong in 2015?
