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. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Well that was awkward >_> --- BGE3: Today's Matches Pokemon RBYG>Sonic 2, SMW>Fallout 3 Points 123/144 |
Yeah
it really does suck that Undertale didn't draw Pokemon in say, round 2.
That would've put an end to it. Switching Pokemon with Fallout 3
would've been perfect, actually. --- "I'll admit that I made one or two sarcastic remarks in this topic, but in all serious I akin Undertale to fascism." -ArgaiRonso |
If
you account for a significant votals jump from R2 to R3 and
counterrallying on behalf of SMW, that makes for a much more modest
rally intensification on Undertale's part. At any rate, I'm not trying to imply FO3 > SMW or anything silly like that. I'm saying SMW's situation is way more hopeless than FO3's was at this point in time last round. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
I
don't particularly understand the SJW aspect of Undertale. Granted I'm
probably only about 75% in, just not understanding how it would be a
rallying call for anti-SJWs. And this is coming from someone that is
vehemently opposed to the rampant stupidity and oversensitivity of SJWs
on the internet. I guess because it's a popular game on tumblr, a site
that seems to be a breeding ground for moronic millenials? --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
Looks like all we can hope for is rally-split-votes next round. No way CT/FF7/OoT can beat it at the rate its going. --- Please excuse my grammar for I am using my phone. |
I
haven't played it, but based on my understanding the "anti-SJW" thing
is purely because it's popular on Tumblr and Tumblr has a reputation for
that. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Reminder: Undertale only outvoted Mass Effect 3 by less than 1%: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/6072-best-game-ever-day-6-undertale-vs-mass-effect-3 --- Commander Shepard: He's a prothean. Urdnot Wrex: Sometimes I'm not sure if the Normandy's a war ship or a traveling freak show. |
Ya,
given that I think trying to rally people for SMW based solely on the
'SJWs suck' argument will be difficult. Especially if you do it next
round against Pokemon, a franchise that BUILT itself on weird
sub-cultures and fetishists. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
Solid-Wrex posted... Reminder: Undertale only outvoted Mass Effect 3 by less than 1%: That rally also didn't kick in until like 4:30pm EST --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Okay 6am, actually sleeping now I hope to wake up to a miracle somehow --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |

Go go go go --- Please excuse my grammar for I am using my phone. |

It's https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CUk20nVUwAEVnE0.png a little easier to pitch than you'd think. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Karma Hunter posted... LordoftheMorons posted...I haven't played it, but based on my understanding the "anti-SJW" thing is purely because it's popular on Tumblr and Tumblr has a reputation for that. Aren't those just incidental things though? Like it has strong female characters or characters who happen to be gay but isn't like actively pushing a message? Again, just my impression from what I've read. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Could you just imagine Undertale winning this tournament and then that making headlines? "Unknown video game Undertale wins Best Game Ever Tournament thus showing the world is ready for gay marriage, etc. etc.!!" I can see that being broadcasted everywhere. And we all being viewed as anti-progressive and enemies. --- Please excuse my grammar for I am using my phone. |
Mario World's situation was hopeless like 20 minutes in when Undertale was already getting 40% updates. --- http://i.imgur.com/RHvCiY3.png |
Last two updates were (very small) gains for SMW! --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
This
is a website that regularly votes FF7/OoT as the best game ever. We've
accepted our outdated, anti-progressive status a long time ago! --- Communists |
Plot
twist: all the people who waited until the match started to mock anyone
who gave SMW a fighting chance, are in turn mocked when SMW stalls the
entire day and wins by 2000 votes in a boring match :P --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
....im
seriously bothered by Sonic games getting past the first round. I was a
kid of the late 80s and early 90s (born in 80). Sonic had a great art
style and great music that took advantage of the crappy genesis sound
chip (tinny and metalic, but sonic made it work). That being said, the
games just arent that good and its purely nostalgia that people are
voting on. Sonic is amusing when it lets you go fast, plenty of sonic
doesnt let you go fast and it falls apart when you have to do
platforming because when sonic isnt runnign he moves like a lead tank.
The animal with 'tude motiff is everything that was stupid about the
90s, i thought so then, and i think so now. Is Sonic 2 better than
UC2....no. Just no. Is UC2 going to be on this list in 5 or 10
years...probably not. But sonic hasnt belonged on any list like this
since the end of the 90s when everyone should have woken the f*** up. |
^ Lmao --- Please excuse my grammar for I am using my phone. |
You really gonna complain that Sonic's done too well when the game is currently getting tripled in Round 3? --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
I'd
take any amount of mockery to see SMW win here and seeing the cool
anticipation of the top half of the bracket rumble come back. Prove me wrong, Super Mario World! Don't let my ridicule of the people who think you had a chance be justified! --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
Yeah I'll gladly take that trade --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
What
games do other sites vote for? I'm sure you guys can link me to results
that make me look foolish, but it's hard to imagine any site giving the
crown to something like Gears of War in a games contest. --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
Yeah,
I think OoT would be a top game on most sites. PC games, FPSs, and new
games would do better and RPGs and old games would do worse, but I don't
think our tastes are really that weird on the whole. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Undertale
is touchy-feely, especially lategame, and is an indie game. the main
character is gender neutral and it's a breeding ground for the tumblr
types. that's why it gets associated with that dumb stuff. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
I'll believe in the Undertale godsmack when I see it, honestly. Mario is very difficult to rally against. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen (edited 12/1/2015 6:27:09 AM)report |
Didn't Gamespot have like Half Life win or something? Granted their votals are like 5k. --- Please excuse my grammar for I am using my phone. |
UltimaterializerX posted... I'll believe in the Undertale godsmack when I see it, honestly. Mario is very difficult to rally against. Haven't looked into the numbers closely, but based on little to no gain in SMW votes when Undertale surged recently, it doesn't look like the backfire rate is too high. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Uh, Undertale is already at 45%, and there's still 15 hours to go. At this rate, it's gonna bury Mario World. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
LordoftheMorons posted... UltimaterializerX posted...I'll believe in the Undertale godsmack when I see it, honestly. Mario is very difficult to rally against. I still maintain that there is a very limited number to draw votes from. That it's even hanging in there with higher vote totals is so amazing to watch. I mean I want it to win, don't get me wrong, but if it stays like this all day and Mario wins in the 52-48 range I wouldn't be surprised. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
Undertale continues to gain percentage but SMW has actually won the past ~7 updates. --- Please excuse my grammar for I am using my phone. |
MechanicalWall posted... Uh, Undertale is already at 45%, and there's still 15 hours to go. At this rate, it's gonna bury Mario World. I hope so! It's the better game and deserves to win. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
Anddddd I jinxed it. --- Please excuse my grammar for I am using my phone. |
Ocarina
of Time, Pokemon RBY, Halo, Half-Life, other things I'm sure I'm
forgetting get voted Best Game on other sites. GameFAQs's outliering
doesn't come from its Nintenlove, at any rate. It comes from things like
Final Fantasy VII and Chrono Trigger even contending for top game on
the site to begin with. --- Welcome to the League of Stickies. |
I
know i said i was on the Undertale bandwagon but people who legit think
it's better than Mario World really need to sort themselves out. --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/330/958/a5b.gif |
I
mean it kind of makes sense that a FAQ site would have an RPG bias
given those are the kind of games where walkthroughs are particularly
useful --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
shane15 posted... I know i said i was on the Undertale bandwagon but people who legit think it's better than Mario World really need to sort themselves out. It *is* better than Mario World. 3 and 64 are better than World, and Galaxy would be better too without the motion controls. It's a good game, don't get me wrong, but the cape just wasn't for me. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
For
the record the last two rallies were nothing without someone major
reblogging on tumblr. People with a few hundred notes don't matter. You
need someone with tens of thousands. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
30ish gain Might be hope for the hypothetical 12 hour match! --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Just lie down and go quietly, Mario. Don't get our hopes up like this. --- sharp. distance. |
There was one that had 3500 like an hour or two ago, probably 5k by now --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
If
Undertale does get past SMW I'll support it against Pokémon since I
like it better and then cheer for TP if it gets through 64. A few years
ago I'd be behind Pokémon but XY really soured me on the franchise as a
whole. |
LordoftheMorons posted... There was one that had 3500 like an hour or two ago, probably 5k by now Where? And also it clearly hasn't helped Undertale actually win, just stall =/ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
Forget which one; I think it was linked in one of the last two topics. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Those
are all games from the same era. Gamefaqs isn't really that weird when
most sites are crowning games from 1996-2001. Show me a site that votes
for something like Punch-Out, and I'll show you an interesting site! --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
Wait for the kiddies to come back from school. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses |
SMW
would definitely win if this was a 12-hour match. Maybe there will be a
12-hour DDOS and Allen will do nothing about it again. --- Please excuse my grammar for I am using my phone. |
