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. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
Long
ago, humans launched an attack upon those they called monsters, seeking
to eradicate them from the face of the earth. But the humans' first
strike failed to win the war, and as the monsters reorganized
themselves, they started driving the humans back. The monsters swept
across the land, taking city after city. Shadow spread across the land,
and the humans lay besieged in their last great stronghold. It was at that time, that, alone and unexpected, a hero clad in green appeared. Wielding a bright sword with the power to repel darkness and three golden triangles in his hand that shone with power, the Hero defeated the monsters and sealed them away in a world of darkness, whence they could not return. The people made the Hero their king, but he was a harsh sovereign, ruling with an iron fist. Many generations passed, and all memory of the war between the humans and the monsters was lost. The Hero was still remembered, and the tyrant king, but debate raged between those who said they were one and the same, those who said they were different people, and those who said both were myths. Until one day, the seal began to break. Monsters emerged forth upon the land. Darkness covered the great human cities of the world. The wisest among the humans gathered, and called upon their Hero. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Melee off to a bad start here. They're going to need that rally bulls*** to win --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
Melee slightly ahead, Mario 64 already at 64%, wow. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Dammit! I'm one of the 4 lucky people tied at 206 not to appear on the leaderboard. :( --- sharp. distance. |
well if FFVII advances along with Undertale I guess I better open my wallet... --- SephirothG "The King, The All-Star Of This Contest"~yoblazer |
Looks like Undertale is going to have the exact same match its had 4 times already. So exciting. |
Pretty
good start for FFVII, although 7% behind CT at this time. Normally
that might be okay but remember, CT was showing FFVII trends (going from
50% at 1 min to 57% at the freeze, and then going up almost 3% on the
2nd update). --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Fr0zoN posted... Looks like Undertale is going to have the exact same match its had 4 times already. So exciting. I'm pretty excited that it's gotten to the point where Undertale's natural vote has gotten so much better that is does just as much on Pokemon and Mario as it did on Mass Effect and Fallout in the begiining. --- "I'll admit that I made one or two sarcastic remarks in this topic, but in all serious I akin Undertale to fascism." |
Melee rally isn't really doing anything yet. Lots of downvotes on Ulti's thread. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
Holy
s***, this is goddamn intense. It's the quarterfinals and I'm 6th on
the leaderboard, with Melee today. Melee leads by 5 at the freeze. Oh
God, this could be a long day for me.... --- NEW YORK METS - 2015 National League Champions |
ItGetsWorse posted... well if FFVII advances along with Undertale I guess I better open my wallet... Don't do that, I guarantee any backlash generated makes it a net negative (it was already all over the Undertale subreddit yesterday). Also just feels pretty slimy. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
I
hate Undertale, but if SM64 wins, it proves once and for all that the
generation of gamers who started with N64 and PS1 are the worst
generation ever for clinging so hard to their nostalgia that it blinds
them, since SMW was the better game. --- I smolder with generic rage. |
Undyne posted... Fr0zoN posted...Looks like Undertale is going to have the exact same match its had 4 times already. So exciting. I think a few people usually here only for the rallies have realised when each Undertale match starts so the board vote is not as bad as it would be normally. That and a few bandwagon dudes have joined in on the fun. |
Good update for FFVII there. Probably not good enough. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |

I think it's more likely that the people voting for Undertale grew up with Mario Sunshine/Galaxy moreso than 64. I grew up with SMB3 - SM64 and I'm 28. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
FFVII taking the lead is expected, though that's not by a lot SM64 went up too though huh --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
No, damn it, come on, Melee! --- NEW YORK METS - 2015 National League Champions |
melee sucks --- Goddamn Metal Gear Solid 3 |
Janus5k posted... FFVII taking the lead is expected, though that's not by a lot Undertale increasing in board support is pretty expected. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
I kind of want to see MWC dish out money to beat Undertale. I can think of NOTHING that would make the board unite as pro-Undertale more than such an action. Also the potential hilarity of FF7 disqualification because of money changing hands to alter the results of a contest for financial gain. --- "I'll admit that I made one or two sarcastic remarks in this topic, but in all serious I akin Undertale to fascism."

FFVII takes the lead, Melee's gonna need to rally. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
TheOneAboveAll posted... Melee rally isn't really doing anything yet. Lots of downvotes on Ulti's thread. It probably doesn't help that there are now 3 rally threads posted. Probably more likely that they each get downvoted for spam if it continues. |

Mario 64 had some serious longevity. People in there late teens/early 20s almost definitely played it at some point. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
Calling it now, by morning FF7 will be at or near the same percentage CT was at at the peak of its match with Melee. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy -trancer1 lol xstats |
Go go FF VII. Words I never thought I'd say. --- No, what's cheap is nature, making bears so much more dangerous than I. So I evened the playing field. With a door. ~Brauley on the subject of fighting bears. |

Congrats to raytan7585 for winning the CB9 Guru Contest! |
red sox 777 posted... FFVII takes the lead, Melee's gonna need to rally. Melee is rallying. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
It should be Chrono Trigger beating FFVII here not FFVII beating Melee. Damn you Reddit Melee Rally. --- Video Games are pretty cool. |
Undyne posted... I kind of want to see MWC dish out money to beat Undertale. It's because MWC recognizes it as the game equivalent of his natural enemy, John Cena! |
UltimaterializerX posted... TheOneAboveAll posted...Melee rally isn't really doing anything yet. Lots of downvotes on Ulti's thread. Your thread currently has 0 points, meaning equal upvotes and downvotes. Unless it gains serious traction and upvotes, no one will see it after the next 10-15 minutes. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
Any
percentages we see before the two big rallies hit their stride aren't
going to mean much. Today will be decided 100% by the ralliers'
preferences. --- Christopher Christopher Christopher Christopher |
Also, there appears to be no site-wide banner, of the blue or yellow variety. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
All of the rally posts were deleted. |
Melee is rallying. It's not there yet, the reddit threads haven't gotten up to the top yet. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Melee's rallying hard, yeah. FF7 is just stronger. Undertale 10 minutes in against.... ME3 - down 315 Fallout 3 - down 504 Mario World - down 664 Pokemon - down 755 Mario 64 - down 660 It has to stop going to the well. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
lmfao melee fans sabotaged themselves I can't take it --- Goddamn Metal Gear Solid 3 |
TheOneAboveAll posted... Also, there appears to be no site-wide banner, of the blue or yellow variety. Yeah, I posted in the previous topic that we have no site banner for today's matches. Looks like we're probably getting the site banner in the semifinals when it's just one match per day. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Wow I went from not on the leaderboard to 26'th with the mgs3 pick that I thought was obvious. Woo! --- Smash Wii U username: McTavish |
Chrono Trigger would easily beat FF7 now. Melee doesn't have a rally thread left up and its still hanging on. |
if the Melee rallying backfires this round it will almost make last round worth it almost --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif |
All
of the rally threads on reddit were deleted. Unless someone wants to
convince a mod to let them stay up (which seems unlikely), r/smashbros
will not be a viable way to rally for Melee. Which is fine. FFVII/Melee should be a great match. Why ruin it with rallies? --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
should i vote Melee or FFVII, can't decide --- Currently Playing-Rocket League, Demon's Souls SSBM Peach Main (Working on a Fox :D) |
>FF7 is already past Smash LIMITS ARE MEANT TO BE BROKEN! |
z0mgthiefbeef posted... should i vote Melee or FFVII, can't decide Vote FFVII --- Yay - Raytan is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
TheOneAboveAll posted... All of the rally threads on reddit were deleted. Unless someone wants to convince a mod to let them stay up (which seems unlikely), r/smashbros will not be a viable way to rally for Melee. because Melee fans are scared --- Goddamn Metal Gear Solid 3 |
Melee rally implodes. I mean, that could change, but a shame they didn't learn from their sensei. --- "I'll admit that I made one or two sarcastic remarks in this topic, but in all serious I akin Undertale to fascism." |
