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 |
I was really happy with my 4/4 score last round. Now I'm probably losing with Witcher and San Andreas. lol --- David Hayter Seriously, Who in the hell is "Draven?" (Sounds like a draggy crow.) |
Repost for those interested. Behemoth_Knight posted... Hey there, just reproduced a bracket that actually shows numbers because it was annoying to go from page to page for results. Hopefully it is of some use to others as well. |
Still
wondering why the site thinks it received votes from me in all the
polls already. And I tried voting in like the first minute. bacon trying to keep chrono cross's % down i can see it already --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
Top 10 Update Nothing cracked the top 10 today. --- BGE3: Today's Matches SMRPG>GTAV, CC>GTA:SA, MGS2>Witcher 3, RE4>Fallout: NV Points 95/112 |

I think getting the 500 is the upset of the contest --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |

so
if chrono cross has a higher percentage than smrpg this round, will
anyone entertain chrono cross > smrpg in round 3? 'cause I'm pretty
sure the consensus is san andreas > 5. --- xyzzy |
It's 6am in Poland so we might see a rally for Witcher 3 in a couple of hours. --- Video Games are pretty cool. (edited 11/26/2015 9:26:38 PM)report |
also,
if there's a witcher rally, it has to favour the gta games. there could
be some really funky results with even a small push. --- xyzzy |

haloiscoolisbak posted... handsomeboy2012 posted...Stop with the rallies CD Projekt Red has rallied for multiple contests. Specifically GOTY related polls as well as anticipation polls when Witcher 3 was coming out. --- Video Games are pretty cool. |
Seems pretty stable right now. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |

oh ok. Well I'd rather Witcher than Undertale so w/e --- Started from the bottom now we here |
Again, I had San Andreas and Witcher 3 going to the division finals. --- 3DS FC: 4382 - 2449 - 5707 IGN: Anthony |
Dabrikishaw15 posted... Again, I had San Andreas and Witcher 3 going to the division finals. If a rally starts, then Witcher 3 will certainly come back, San Andreas was doomed to lose to Super Mario RPG. Hell if it was Oblivion it would still lose. As for Witcher 3, I have it going to the final 4 cause I was pretty confident in a rally happening. My bracket is already crap so it doesn't really matter anymore. But it would help. --- Video Games are pretty cool. (edited 11/26/2015 9:36:43 PM)report |
how is it that every game in this division looks bad? --- xyzzy |
transience posted... how is it that every game in this division looks bad? that was part of what made this division so interesting though! --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
yeah
but RE4 was the consensus winner. it could end up below 60% here
against a game that couldn't pull 60% on bioshock infinite! I wonder how Bioshock/MGS3 goes --- xyzzy |
Was RE4 that strong of a pre-contest favorite? I took Mario RPG and assumed a decent chunk of others did as well... --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
I wonder how Bioshock/MGS3 goes BioShock had a decent performance against Kingdom Hearts II in 2010, though I guess the expectation now is that it is now weaker. --- BGE3: Today's Matches SMRPG>GTAV, CC>GTA:SA, MGS2>Witcher 3, RE4>Fallout: NV Points 95/112 |
you're even overselling New Vegas's performance! It didn't even manage 56%! MGS3 should get high 50s on BioShock, I think. but knowing MGS3 it won't --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I feel like more people debated Mario RPG/Oblivion than did Mario RpG/RE4. --- satoru iwata (edited 11/26/2015 9:41:20 PM)report |
CaptainOfCrush posted... Was RE4 that strong of a pre-contest favorite? I took Mario RPG and assumed a decent chunk of others did as well... Man, I was one of the biggest proponents of SMRPG's strength and I didn't even consider it. Resident Evil 4 - 160 (81.22%) Super Mario RPG - 9 (4.57%) Metal Gear Solid 2 - 11 (5.58%) The Witcher 3 - 6 (3.05%) World of Warcraft - 2 (1.02%) Grand Theft Auto V - 7 (3.55%) Fallout New Vegas - 1 (0.51%) GTA San Andreas - 1 (0.51%) --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
transience posted... so if chrono cross has a higher percentage than smrpg this round, will anyone entertain chrono cross > smrpg in round 3? 'cause I'm pretty sure the consensus is san andreas > 5. I wouldn't take Chrono Cross over Super Mario RPG in any contest, let alone one where SNES games appear to be boosted. If CC ends up outperforming SMRPG in their round 2 matches I'm just going to conclude that it means that GTA5 > GTA SA, until round 3 proves otherwise. --- The RPG Duelling League: www.rpgdl.com An unparalleled source for RPG information and discussion |
LeonhartFour posted... Resident Evil 4 - 160 (81.22%) Come on, guys! --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
who could have predicted this would be the YEAR OF THE SNES you still probably have to basically believe GTAV > Paper Mario before you get SMRPG > RE4 though not sure I'm ready to go there --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
The
most surprising thing about this to me is that WoW actually still seems
to have some small semblance of strength on this site. Figured it would be complete fodder on gamefaqs in 2015. |
SMRPG > RE4 just defies all logic. It's frickin' Resident Evil 4. I don't care if it's the year of SNES or not, that'd just be crazy. --- Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |
you know what else (apparently) defied all logic SMRPG > SFII (don't ask me because I picked SMRPG without a second thought) --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
Bioshock disappointed relative to stats on SH2 too. its weak brother is going to be worth like 37% or something on RE4. --- xyzzy |
and chrono cross just got cut. oh boy --- xyzzy |
transience posted... Bioshock disappointed relative to stats on SH2 too. its weak brother is going to be worth like 37% or something on RE4. Yeah, BioShock looked kinda weak against SH2. GOTD X-Stats project 58.52% for MGS3 against BioShock, but I'm sure it'll find some way to underperform. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
(and for all the noise about smrpg's bad europe vote, Chrono Cross didn't come out there either) --- xyzzy |
Every losing game got a decent jump in percentage there. Witcher 3 rally...?! --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... Every losing game got a decent jump in percentage there. I haven't seen any on Twitter so I don't think so. --- Video Games are pretty cool. |
nah, the power hour (seems to cut off at about 45 minutes usually) is just over --- xyzzy |
I'm not sure how accurate the map results are, but they suggest that GTA is winning the UK with 60%+ for both CC and SMRPG --- xyzzy |
If
the percents for CC and SMRPG keep going down at the same rate, that
actually means SA has to beat V with less percent for CC > SMRPG
right? --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
Well,
the early returns on Europe usually shift a decent bit because there
aren't that many voters yet, but I expect it'll be ugly. Oblivion got
70% on Mario RPG in the UK, I think. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
two
questions. whats the power hour(i have a rough idea but wouldnt mind an
explanation) and what are you talking about with this "GTA is winning
the UK with 60% for both CC and SMRPG". wouldnt that mean GTA is losing
the UK? --- Started from the bottom now we here (edited 11/26/2015 9:56:14 PM)report |
RE4 what are you doing --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
