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 |

It's goat slaughtering time --- sharp. distance. |
Another big cut. Lead under 200. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
NICE cut for Melee |
ZeldaTPLink posted... mkwstar posted.../r/smashbros post from Mew2king: That's really dumb. The Melee community's health owes itself to recent waves of casuals getting drawn in. I do kinda see their point though that this rally will mean a lot more for Undertale than it will for Melee. --- I like this guy - Shiny Mewtwo |
Undertale pulled 460 out of nowhere and still got cut by almost 100. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
Huh. I went to sleep when Undertale was getting 900 vote updates. I expected Melee to be buried at this point. --- http://i.imgur.com/yrqRzHJ.gif |
* 115 left Wait, memeing the wrong side. |
Melee going full godmode now. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
This is probably the recent Melee spike https://twitter.com/PoorZhu/status/676089847271006208 --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
Remember
when we were so impressed by Undertale pulling updates in the 400s in
the Pokemon match? Melee's getting a bunch of updates in the 500s here. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |

Undertale just doesn't have it in it. Melee's gonna win. --- NEW YORK METS - 2015 National League Champions |
I can't believe how often I have read "Undertake" instead of Undertale in the last few hours. The picture in my head of the Undertaker beating the s*** out of some game disks is pretty funny tho |
melee pls --- 520 BOILER UP! |

Getting closer --- Anything is possible when your man smells like Old Spice and not a lady. |
Undertale pulls in 496 votes. Melee gives no ****s. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
LOL This match is over! --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
Undertale almost pulled in 500 votes that update. Where are all of these coming from? --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
red sox 777 posted... Remember when we were so impressed by Undertale pulling updates in the 400s in the Pokemon match? Melee's getting a bunch of updates in the 500s here. Melee is getting 500s because Melee fans understand the rallying power that needs to occur. More than they needed against Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VII. Now we just need to see what happens in retaliation. --- Don't forget about your self-care~! |
this is an amazing match... wow Ulti you are right(Match of the Year) |
I love Melee. --- raytan is the guru champ, yo yo yo He won it in the year of the draggy crow |
And remember guys, all contests rallies are bad! Unless they support a game we like. Then they're the greatest thing ever! --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
POOTERSS posted... this is an amazing match... wow Ulti you are right(Match of the Year) If Undertale fights back later, this will actually be the best match we've ever had. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
UltimaterializerX posted... all contests rallies are bad! It's more like unless they oppose a game we hate. --- sharp. distance. |
Holy hell Melee, I wish it won't stop but just like with Pokemon I know the turnaround is close Is this how Undertale fans feel when they are making a comeback? (just without the fear of the opponent spiking out of nowhere) This is..nice, to see Melee putting up such a fight and might take the lead next update --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
guys,annyone can contact to etika to promote this? |
UltimaterializerX posted... And remember guys, all contests rallies are bad! I'm not really enjoying this! Melee is the lesser of two evils in my mind, but like... this match is just "who cares" for me. The numbers are impressive, sure, but eh. match of the year probably still Super Metroid/Majora's Mask --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
If Melee wins this, this is officially my favorite match of all time. Sorry, MGS2/SotC. You'll have to settle for second. --- Currently playing: The Witcher III: Wild Hunt |
UltimaterializerX posted... And remember guys, all contests rallies are bad! I think the thing is that SSBM is far more deserving a best game ever tournament than bloody Undertale. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak PSN ID - Kudaark Steam Name : skaalfa |

inb4 Undertale has a monster spike |
Qwaar posted... I think the thing is that SSBM is far more deserving a best game ever tournament than bloody Undertale. I can't even remotely disagree. The problem is Melee might just not care in the final, which would be awful. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
UltimaterializerX posted... And remember guys, all contests rallies are bad! I'm pretty sure the majority here would've rather seen a normal CT/RBY (or SMW or SM64 or whatever you think makes it here) but if we're going to have one rally might as well have a second rally so the first doesn't just walk over the whole contest |
TheOneAboveAll posted... Undertale almost pulled in 500 votes that update. Where are all of these coming from? Russia, China, Indonesia.. Florida, Texas. |
Oh and tumblr really hasn't shown up yet. This could actually get silly later. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest "F*** Draven." -SBAllen |
None of this will matter as SMRPG is going to win this whole thing |
