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, it seems pretty clear that RBY wins this one comfortable, rally or no. I'd love to see Tetris vs. Halo! --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |

This day match is gonna be fun as hell. --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
Is no one bothering to rally Fallout? --- Dr voltchball - best in the world. http://i.minus.com/iN5ZHjUDyI547.gif |
Ive
got half a dozen rallies ready that i will be initiating throughout the
day. If undertale starts getting momentum it will be stopped and
stalled. This isnt a mass effect 3 its dealing with. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |

I'm
still optimistic about Fallout. It's got a lead of 3300 and has been
steadily gaining throughout the first wave of Undertale's rally. Right
now Gamefaqs vote intake is low and Undertale will need to up its game
to maintain its current stalling in the morning. Of course it will up
its game, I'm sure, but it's still a big lead with a lot more fight than
ME ever showed. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
To
war : its a different match. We can't assume the trends will be the
same of if the rally even picks up enough steam. Not to mention that
there is a fallout rally ready to go if it gets close. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak PSN ID - Kudaark Steam Name : skaalfa |
LeonhartFour posted... darn it FFVIII i almost feel bad for you --- 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. |
that was a joke bro I'm not actually waiting for anything to go to bed (you should feel bad for yourself for using a Gary quote and thinking you sound cool doing it) --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

Plus as others have pointed out, there's not am infinite number of votes to rally. And Fallout 3 is universally liked more than Mass Effect 3. We'll just have to see I guess. --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
LeonhartFour posted... that was a joke bro I meant FF8 probably being one of the worst performers of the contest --- 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. |
I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong. Pokemon would have absolutely won this match, Undertale rally or no Undertale rally. Mario always had the excuse for losing in the past. But this right here, is the match that proves his magic is finally gone. Sucks for my childhood, but hey. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
when Mario World beats R/B/Y and Mario 64 this performance won't look so bad UC2 is laying the biggest egg of the day though --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I got a lot wrong this year, but Sonic 2 was not one of them. No idea why people thought it wouldn't win twice! --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
You know, I might as well ask. Leon, based on Uncharted 2, what is Sonic 2 expected to get on Majora's Mask? --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Undertale
preventing an overnight shlacking is really important, I think. At the
rate it was losing the lead was going to be insurmountable by morning. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
UltimaterializerX posted... I got a lot wrong this year, but Sonic 2 was not one of them. No idea why people thought it wouldn't win twice! When have Sonic games ever impressed? Sonic is an easy upset target, both in Character Battles and Games Contests. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
My real takeaway from Sonic crushing UC2 today is to remember Walking Dead, and then note that god damn 2012 was a weak year. Fire Emblem is probably beating DKC2, huh. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
WarThaNemesis2 posted... You know, I might as well ask. 45.06% --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
KamikazePotato posted... Fire Emblem is probably beating DKC2, huh. if it doesn't Fire Emblem would be one of the turds of the round and Mario Maker would be the laughingstock of the contest --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I
picked Uncharted 2 because I didn't have much faith in Sonic 2. *shrug*
This result is pretty in line with everything else this year, though
the percentage is pretty high. Anyway, now that I -know- there's a potent rally I can at least go to sleep and not have the uncertainty. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
Maaaan, Pokemon turned it up here. It's definitely gonna beat SMW and SM64. If only I hadn't picked it over FFVII. --- 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. |
Sorry DKC2 is in YEAR OF SNES it's beating Fire Emblem 60-40. --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
oh man FFVIII almost cut 36%+ get! ExThaNemesis posted... Maaaan, Pokemon turned it up here. It's definitely gonna beat SMW and SM64. Eh, there's plenty of room and variation for Pokemon to win 55/45 and still lose to either one of them. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Tbh i dont want ffvii to lose before the final. Its only right that oot gets revenge for 2004. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
OoT already got its revenge! It beat FFVII in 4-ways and 1-on-1 the next day! --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... Eh, there's plenty of room and variation for Pokemon to win 55/45 and still lose to either one of them. True but this is still pretty impressive. This is without a rally too. If that happens and things go as expected this match could get really ugly. --- 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. |
Yuri_LowelI posted... Tbh i dont want ffvii to lose before the final. Its only right that oot gets revenge for 2004. this is why we can't have nice f***ing things this right here "BUT FFVII ALWAYS WINS GUYS" FFVII hasn't won a f***ing final of anything since 2005. --- 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. |

Fallout boosting again. Lead could be around 4k by the time day votes kick in. --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
Never mind. That was all Undertale on that update, Fallout was the same from previous update. --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
LeonhartFour posted... Cloud got second place in 2010. Oh right, BGE 4-ways. Whatever. Also another Undertale cut. This is going to be a brutal burial. --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
LeonhartFour posted... OoT already got its revenge! It beat FFVII in 4-ways and 1-on-1 the next day! Doesnt count. Was a 4 way game contest and the 1v1 was bonus match This is official. fFvii better not chicken out before the final. --- http://k09.kn3.net/1256263BF.gif |
Undertale with a cut to end the hour. FO3/Undertale after 4 hours: Lead of 3374, 12418 total votes ME3/Undertale after 4 hours: Lead of 2748, 10022 total votes ME3 is catching up to FO3's lead slowly but surely. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |

OoT already got its revenge! It beat FFVII in 4-ways and 1-on-1 the next day! That wasn't revenge, that was OOT getting its just due. MM beating FFX was the revenge, but it only paid off about 10% of the debt FF still owes LOZ for that 2004 win. And once that's done, Link will start getting his revenge for the 2003 Link/Cloud match. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |

Well,
it would explain why the Zelda fanbase thinks nothing is wrong with
Link winning every year! It's because he is objectively, the best video
game character. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
