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. --- PaulG235 "Ike and Ash & Co. saw a Yoshi and didn't catch it." - Mer telling us his dream. |

it'll likely lose to the winner of Starcraft/ME2. At this point I'd take them both over BioShock --- Anime List: http://myanimelist.net/profile/superange VG List: http://myvideogamelist.com/profile/superange128 Visual Novels: https://vndb.org/u6633/votes |

ME2 > MGS3? There goes bracket but that's hilarious anyway. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
Mass Effect votes dropped in the last 20 minutes. Was there a counter-rally that suddenly died or something? --- http://i.imgur.com/yrqRzHJ.gif (edited 11/28/2015 10:59:15 AM)report |

These
games were close enough in strength that the reddit rallies determined
everything. The fact that Mass Effect's reddit topic has been deleted
seals the deal. I wish I was suave enough to hide my disdain with contests now, but how lame could you get. --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |

Always nice to see a tied update Also Wyoming has flipped to Starcraft --- BGE3: Today's Matches MGS>Borderlands 2, SotC>RDR, MGS3>BioShock, ME2>Starcarft Points 103/120 (edited 11/28/2015 11:02:16 AM)report |
...is this a rally or is ME2 just not popular. --- Hello, I'm Chris! https://media.giphy.com/media/2ZtIpjwFFjLHLNREpCU/giphy.gif |

No, not MGS 3! --- Don't mind me. I'm just here for the contest. |
Are we going to 2 matches next round? --- Menji+ http://i.imgur.com/pPZsSZU.gif http://i.imgur.com/UswGW35.gif |
StarCraft
is the one you should probably ask that about: it has never been worth
much without people running to StarCraft hubs to get help. --- satoru iwata |
Menji76 posted... Are we going to 2 matches next round? Yep --- Play Earthbound And Dragon Warrior(Quest) 7 |
Damn, I really wish now I had the guts to take SC>MGS3. I mean, if I had it beating ME2, then why not? --- This sentence has five words. This sentence has eight words. Only one sentence in this signature is true. |
Massive 2 vote cut by Mass effect --- Play Earthbound And Dragon Warrior(Quest) 7 |
2 votes. ME2 refuses to die --- Cranky's Advice - "git gud" Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
Gamefaqs: "Rallies suck" *rallies for every game in the contest* --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
So are both rallies pro Bioshock? I mean surely MGS 3 should handle that game much better, right? --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Raytan > Me |
ME2 is going to need a 150-200 vote cushion before the SNV. Better start now. |
MGS3 somewhat stabilizing... man what happened to u MGS3.. SNAKEEE EATER! |
Starcraft's
problem is that it needs to stall the next 6-7 hours. rallies are good
in short bursts but this isn't Undertale, not by a longshot. --- xyzzy |
hey you never know Starcraft might try cheating again when it looks bad --- satoru iwata |
ME2 needs to win. |
KamikazePotato posted... Gamefaqs: "Rallies suck" *rallies for every game in the contest* I only posted the ME2 rally since Nick posted the Starcraft rally and figured it'd be more fair I havent even finished ME2 yet nor am I super in love with the game --- Anime List: http://myanimelist.net/profile/superange VG List: http://myvideogamelist.com/profile/superange128 Visual Novels: https://vndb.org/u6633/votes (edited 11/28/2015 11:10:39 AM)report |
ME2 doubles lead to 4 votes. --- Cranky's Advice - "git gud" Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
IF there was no rallies who wins? |
whatisurnameplz posted... ME2 doubles lead to 4 votes. Yep it's over. MGS3 beware. |
KamikazePotato posted... Gamefaqs: "Rallies suck" *rallies for every game in the contest* Is that really surprising? I always read rallies complaints as "why aren't you rallying for the game I like?!". It only bothers me if it's absolutely unbeatable, like Draven was. And even that got at least one good match.

KamikazePotato posted... Gamefaqs: "Rallies suck" *rallies for every game in the contest* KPPPPP!!!! I rallied 3 votes for Starcraft on Facebook. Can I get a cookie? |
NowItsAngeTime posted... KamikazePotato posted...Gamefaqs: "Rallies suck" *rallies for every game in the contest* I think the idea is that people complained about Undertale, but then turn around and rally a game they like. --- satoru iwata |

CaptainOfCrush posted... Januzaj_Dragon posted...IF there was no rallies who wins? obviously. I mean todays match |
Oh
yea I also responded to Nick's rally by sending tweets to Mark Meer,
BioWare, the Mass Effect twitter, and Jennifer Hale, as well as Facebook
messaging the Mass Effect page. Only response I got was Jennifer Hale
liking, but not retweeting, my tweet :/ --- Cranky's Advice - "git gud" Oh yea, I guess raytan won. |
Rallies suck when they dominate. Rallies that give us a 50/50 match with ten hours to go are premium. --- Hello, I'm Chris! https://media.giphy.com/media/2ZtIpjwFFjLHLNREpCU/giphy.gif |
i have made no bones about only having gripes about rallies out of bias --- Remember, we are eternal - all this pain is an illusion http://i.imgur.com/Qs9x1gS.png |
ZFS posted... NowItsAngeTime posted...KamikazePotato posted...Gamefaqs: "Rallies suck" *rallies for every game in the contest* Difference is people voting for ME2 and Starcraft have played those games and the rallies are being done on the game specific site. Undertale rally is a anti gamefaqs rally with thousands of teenage girls voting for it because people who they follow is asking them to. Or are you still trying to argue only undertale fans are voting for the game? It's f***ing Tumblr. 80% of the people voting don't give a s*** about Undertale and will never ever play it. Thats the truth. (edited 11/28/2015 11:15:09 AM)report |
ME2 wins fairly easy without rallies. --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
