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 |
cmon DK! *cue william tell overture music* --- Started from the bottom now we here |
why are we condemning OldFAQs if it gives us DKC2 > Xenoblade this is a great upset --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
If
Xenoblade wins, I'll get my 5th straight perfect round (assuming the
rest stay the way they are). The last game I missed was Portal 2. --- Monolith Soft + Hiroyuki Sawano = The Best Game of All Time |

Jesus though I don't understand why something as ambivalent as Baldur's Gate could be so terrible at the board vote. It's not like, something hated. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnn this is really making me think Mass Effect can pull it off argh screw it, it never works anyway but who cares; Smash 4 is so screwed --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |

Could
charmander or someone else tell us how many points the BOP cookie
cutter would have right now? (count tiebreakers as 0.5 points I guess) And maybe someone could do the same for the Guru. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Guru cookie has 31 --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
1337gamerpr0 posted... xp1337 posted...2Dover3D posted...Fire Emblem Awakening probably beats any Wii/Wii U Mario game I guess maybe I just think more of Fire Emblem then most here. I picked it in the match without giving it a second thought and figured it would go for 60%+ easy since its sold a million, got several characters into Smash and gets rave reviews everywhere. --- http://steamsignature.com/card/0/76561197979294707.png |
The Guru Cookie currently has 31 points. Missed DQ8/P3, SMG2/ME1, Portal 2/Sonic 2, ME3/Undertale, and Suikoden/Monster Hunter. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

DKC2 nearly tripled its lead, RIP /s |
DKC2 more than doubles its lead. We're well on our way to Ulti-style destruction. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
phew banjo didn't drop that one --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
what
is the general consensus of super mario rpg? I have it in the division
finals because that 8 pack is so poor, but i could also see it losing to
oblivion. |

Metal_DK posted... what is the general consensus of super mario rpg? I have it in the division finals because that 8 pack is so poor, but i could also see it losing to oblivion. I think it's that the SMRPG/Oblivion winner goes to the division finals, and I think SMRPG is the favorite there. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
DKC2 with the utter destruction quadrupling its lead next comes to pentupling --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif (edited 11/13/2015 9:36:26 PM)report |

DKC2 almost triples its lead again! man at this rate it's going to have a lead of almost 3^281 its current lead! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
DKC2 gonna KILL IT BOOM Donkey'd! |
And wow mario is gonna be 65'd by Fire Emblem. Would Phantom Hourglass even do that bad --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
DKC2!! Huge. |
Smash
Wii U can still do pretty well. Don't forget it has a 3DS release too
so people without a Wii U could just as easily vote for it based on the
3DS version which has sold more copies anyways >_> |

Metal_DK posted... what is the general consensus of super mario rpg? I have it in the division finals because that 8 pack is so poor, but i could also see it losing to oblivion. SMRPG is a classic. I think it will hold up against oblivion alright. Especially considering how games from that era appear to be stronger than expected this contest. |
Smash 4 is beating Mass Effect then getting fed to the one game the Cloud boost does nothing on because of course |
huh, Xenoblade has been completely stable the last 3 updates (142/141/142) while DKC2 is bouncing around everywhere |
Wonder which is more of a Power Hour game, DKC or Xenoblade --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Xeno! --- Death in the dream world will send your soul wandering through all eternity, demon. |
Not sure Banjo will beat Castlevania anymore >_> --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
KamikazePotato posted... Wonder which is more of a Power Hour game, DKC or Xenoblade DKC obviously. The Power Hour is followed by Reyn Time. i thought we handed out charts on this --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
Yeah
with every old classic game under the sun going off, I'd be shocked if
SMRPG didn't dismiss Oblivion with ease. SotN is tearing up a storm
today too. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
Seriously though, I'd guess DKC2 with absolutely no basis. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
DKC2 because OLDFAQS Mario Maker's going to get doubled isn't it --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Also, since we have GOTD stats on Baldur's Gate II and T&T... Based on a consistent BG2, Banjo would currently be worth 39.22% on Majora's Mask, which would put it in the vicinity of both KH games. Based on a consistent T&T, SOTN would be worth 33.90% on Majora's Mask, around the level of TTYD. That would project a 56.80% win for Banjo. So good news, Banjo fans! --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Man, if DK can treble it's lead, but Xeno can only halve it, Xeno is sunk. --- www.wizards.com/mtg/images/daily/arcana/388_final.jpg |
