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 |

Go random indie darling victory. Still need to play Undertale one of these days. Maybe after I finally get bored of Fallout 4. --- Not_Wylvane |

In 2006, I rooted against Claire AND Jill. Most shameful year of my life. --- http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif |
RBY seems to be resisting this stage of the rally better than FO3 or SMW did, at least. --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** |
4 AM comparisons! Undertale: 44.15% / 8004 votes Super Mario World: 55.85% / 10126 2122 lead Total Votes: 18130 Undertale: 43.13% / 10251 votes Pokemon RBY: 56.87% / 13515 votes 3264 lead Total Votes: 23766 --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

RBY is now above SMW's biggest lead (actually happened last update, but I didn't notice) --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Tohoya posted... TIL there's a nightcore song fetis***ing pikagirls. Also TIL "fetis***ing" is censored on this site |
Undertale
dipping below 100 vote updates right around the same time as it did
against SMW. Tumblr rallies sure can be oddly formulaic... |

True enough, but I figured it'd take a bit longer to drop to here with the much higher vote totals and all. |
Orochimaru_Fan posted... True enough, but I figured it'd take a bit longer to drop to here with the much higher vote totals and all. It's currently like, almost 3am where I am. Most of the west out here is asleep. |
On track for about a 4700 vote lead by 8am EST based on the last hour ...not good enough I'm guessing --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Pokemon is not looking good! We need a celebrity Pokemon tweet. |
Nice update for Pokemon. A 60 vote gain in the deep night vote. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
I like Joe (Serebii) He is a nice dude and all, but he takes his job way too seriously and he won't care about this contest But I think that with a good enough e-mail/tweet to him, maybe we can change his mind I am not a good sweet talker so not me, but it's worth trying --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Sadly,
it turns out that the Undertale subreddit will literally repost the
rally over and over again until it gains some traction. The seventh time
someone brought the contest up is finally rising. --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** |
upvote everything else! --- Remember, we are eternal - all this pain is an illusion http://i.imgur.com/Qs9x1gS.png |

We shouldn't be ashamed of liking this, it's pretty awesome. |
You
know whenever I read anti-GameFAQs comments about how we are losers for
caring too much about this stuff etc I feel bad and think to myself
"what am I doing with my life" But then I watch how people that doesn't even visit this site care so much about this contest and I am happy that there are people with worse life than mine Seriously tumblr people let it go --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Eighth
subreddit rally spotted! Undertale is losing because haters are
cheating, apparently. Man, you guys must feel stupid for thinking it's
because the tumblr rally doesn't take off until morning. EDIT: Never mind, this one is an account most likely owned by a Gamefaqs user considering it appears to exist only to fail at rallying for the contest. --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** (edited 12/8/2015 2:47:50 AM)report |
talking
to an anonymous source who revealed he has been using multiple accounts
to vote on reddit. very poor, bannable idea. do not use multiple
accounts on reddit. --- Remember, we are eternal - all this pain is an illusion http://i.imgur.com/Qs9x1gS.png |
Well,
on the positive side of things I haven't seen a tumblr rally yet. Well,
I saw one with only a handful of notes that might amount to something
later in the day. Highly interested in todays results though! --- Currently playing: Atelier Shallie (PS3) Ar Tonelico 2 (PS2) |
You
mean multiple accounts to upvote/downvote? Yeah, I only have the one
account and I'm not even using it to vote on anything. Right now I'm
watching to see how many rallies they make as a weird social experiment. --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** |
upvoting every non-gamefaqs related post is a pretty good idea though. just with one account. --- Remember, we are eternal - all this pain is an illusion http://i.imgur.com/Qs9x1gS.png |
Nevermind there's a rally post on tumblr with 800 notes so far. --- Currently playing: Atelier Shallie (PS3) Ar Tonelico 2 (PS2) |

Many people tried doing it last contest against Draven, it didn't work Reddit has protection against this kind of thing --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
No
they've been rallying for a while, it just hasn't actualized its full
potential (and likely won't until 8 or 9 AM EST). If there was no rally
RBY would be building up a pretty huge lead. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |

Well things seem nice so far. Do er have any tracks on backfire rates yet? --- Ctesjbuvf posting on his phone. |
well
i mean your votes are likely to not count at all if you dupe them from
the same IP so if that is something you care enough to do I am just
warning --- Remember, we are eternal - all this pain is an illusion http://i.imgur.com/Qs9x1gS.png |
Just don't do it. Some people did that last contest and it backfired. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Woo 4000 vote lead --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** |
The_Ctes posted... Well things seem nice so far. Do er have any tracks on backfire rates yet? No hard numbers, but if it's there the BFR seems to be pretty minimal. I think it was too optimistic to expect that to have a significant effect; counterrallies are Pokemon's only chance. I've also been surprised how many Undertale fans I've seen describing RBY as a "buggy mess" and "inferior to the later games" --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Well to be fair GSC is the best gen. --- Currently playing: Atelier Shallie (PS3) Ar Tonelico 2 (PS2) |
