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 |
CT needs to win this contest. Or Undertale. Or FF7. Just anything but Ocarina and I'm happy. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |

Dat FFX board vote --- BGE3: Today's Matches Final Fantasy X > Chrono Trigger, Super Smash Bros. Melee > Kingdom Hearts II Points 111/120 |
dear god I have seen the light --- xyzzy |
Okay --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
THE MIGHTY FFX BOARD VOTE STRIKEs ...wait what --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Oh man CT |
It went up??? What the f***??? --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
this has to be SFF right? --- Not changing this sig until the Bengals, Bills, Lions and Colt McCoy win the Super Bowl (10/10/10) ~User of the Year 2015~ |
If something doesn't change FAST, Melee is screwed over next round regardless of rallies.... --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
I can't stay in my chair --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Chrono Trigger vs. Undertale is going to be an amazing match. --- Video Games are pretty cool. |
Chrono Trigger is not f***ing around this contest I ask again: what does FFX get on Ocarina. reminder that Suikoden 2 just got like 24% --- xyzzy |
FFX won the board vote!?!? --- Christopher Christopher Christopher Christopher |
I just noticed, but LOL at the KH2 pic. You got all the game's leads... and then randomly Aladdin. Was Aladdin supposed to help push the game to victory or something? Still a good pic, though. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
Melee has ZERO chance next round --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
well f*** what if CT had a legit shot to win the contest?? s*** is RUINED by undertalee. --- >_______________> |
Crown it. --- sharp. distance. |
why is CT/FFVII paired with an Undertale match this makes me so mad --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
this is so disgusting I am actually going to enjoy seeing Undertale win this thing. GameFAQs deserves it. --- ... |
FF9/Ocarina's gonna be interesting now. |
how does Tumblr feel about old school RPGs like Chrono Trigger? --- http://steamsignature.com/card/0/76561197979294707.png |
UberPyro64 posted... Chrono Trigger vs. Undertale is going to be an amazing match. That's a weekend match. Undertale just wrecks FF7 or CT since they don't need to wait for school to end to start rallying. --- No amount of rallying would let me beat raytan7585. Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
YEAH CHRONO Tear everything in half --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png LongLiveraytan |
Holy balls of fiery destruction Chrono Trigger is on the warpath I'm glad it wouldn't run into Undertale until final four, we get to see how high it can really go --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
Oh man. Oh man why didn't I take CT over SSBM. Why did I think SSBM > CT > FFX. --- Congrats to raytan, lord of the gurus |
I
literally still had a chance with my bracket even after all this but
unless I somehow add tumblr rallying to r/smash's strength I think I'm
going to bow out now --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Holy
Magikarp! CT's at 68%! I toyed with the idea of a doubling, so I'm
not as surprised at this as I thought I'd be, but.... at least my CT
> FF6 pick is looking okay now! (ignore the fact that I have FF6
> FF7, argh) Chrono Trigger would never SFF Final Fantasy X. No way. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
Chrono Trigger would
win against OoT. It feels strange to say this, and even stranger to say
it with certainty. But OoT is clearly not as dominant as it once was
(Suikoden II is a testament to this), CT has boosted immensely, and the
latter will have immense underdog/bandwagon support if it actually meets
OoT. CT solely has to worry about rally/bandwagon-boosted Undertale and/or Pokemon RBGY. --- Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |
O_o Good god... --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
This result is absolutely absurd --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Kenri posted... Oh man. Ditto. But at least it's better than the chumps who picked FFX >CT > SSBM!! --- Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
Oh man, that CT/OoT rematch we could've had. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy IX - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3729662 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
FFX went down 2% from the board vote against MMX to the end of the match. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |
Didn't this game get eliminated by Super Mario 64 while Goldeneye was holding it back the last time we saw it --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Somehow the game that is going to ruin B8's brackets most on natural strength is Chrono Trigger. How does that even happen in a post-2002 world? --- http://i.imgur.com/M1heX2g.jpg RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
That SSBM percentage is with the Nintendo Power Hour, too. Wonder what KHII is gonna get with its day vote? --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
give me 70% I thirst for more --- xyzzy |
I want to live in a world where CT stops the Undertale rally and then dethrones OoT. --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
Man,
one of my last minute bracket adjustments was taking CT in the Final
Four, and I considered going further with it instead of having Pokemon
do it. And now I wish I had listened to my heart there. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! Future 2015 Guru Contest winner. |
