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 |
Hmph. Most accurate 500th post yet. --- Yay - DpObliVion is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
Can't even keep up false hope Melee sucks --- Welcome to the League of Antivotes. |
Vote stuffing- has to be |
Wow look at that plucky underdog go --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Melee looks like it's got some fight in it left, but it's gotta get more than that. --- What's wrong with the world these days is people don't have any common sense. |
These votals, man. --- Not_Wylvane |
I
guess it's time to just embrace my consolation prize. Hard to be happy
about it now when I was hoping for so much more. Oh well. It was an
awesome run. --- NEW YORK METS - 2015 National League Champions 2015 Best. Game. Ever. Guru Champion |
I've
wondered what would happen if, theoretically, tomorrow's match was
really close and came down to the final hour what would happen with the
Finals match. Might it have to start late to see who wins the previous
match? Obviously won't happen here, of course. --- 3DS FC: 1805-2178-2522 NNID: Scarlettail |
This is like Draven from the Character Battles all over again. Some people just like to watch the world burn. --- Legendia R please! Howdy y'all, I'm android 13 and this here is my trucker hat. Nice to meetcha. |
This is one of the absolute worst things about Undertale - Poll on the Undertale creator's Twitter - What medium did you first experience most of UNDERTALE in? 53% - Played it yourself 40% - Let's play/video 07% - Other 22,901 votes•Final results Nearly Half of the "fans" of this "game" never even played the blasted thing. There's your Greatest Game of All Time. A glorified YouTube video. --- Yay - DpObliVion is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
First L-Block, then Draven, now Undertale. Third time is the charm I hope. Maybe they'll put these silly events to rest. --- - Time waits for no one - Bellum omnium contra omnes |
cyko posted... This is one of the absolute worst things about Undertale - 22.9k votes? Holy hell, there's several times that much supposedly loving the game on this site right now. Edit: And sadly, Reddit/Twitter/Etc will never stop being scum buckets that enjoy watching the world burn. Don't even get me started on FaceBook. --- Legendia R please! Howdy y'all, I'm android 13 and this here is my trucker hat. Nice to meetcha. (edited 12/13/2015 4:50:38 PM)report |
cyko posted... This is one of the absolute worst things about Undertale - Not everyone uses twitter. |
Dumb assumption: Undertale has finally hit the bottom of the well. If that is true, what are Melee's chances of coming back? 5%? 10%? --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
MadHatter32 posted... cyko posted...This is one of the absolute worst things about Undertale - While that is true, a cross-section of roughly 23,000 fans is likely a fairly accurate representation of the fanbase as a whole. --- Yay - DpObliVion is the guru champion of awesomeness. |
We are now over 5000 votes behind the 2007 final. --- Raytan7585 is better than me at redditFAQs |
cyko posted... MadHatter32 posted...cyko posted...This is one of the absolute worst things about Undertale - Keep in mind it sold more than 450.000 copies. At least a good number of them had to play it at some point. |
160,000+ Incredible! --- Warning, the self-destruct system has been activated, all personnel should evacuate immediately, 5 minutes to detonation. |
this is now the highest-scoring 1v1 match of all time, correct? --- Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die. |
I'm pretty sure UT can pull out even more votes if it needed At this point, yeah, it's won the entire contest. I will be very surprised if OoT puts up more of a fight than Melee. |
zzz Bring on Mario RPG --- satoru iwata |
This is definitely over. Melee's only chance would be a vote removal after the match finished. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Undertale rallying for SMRPG tomorrow would be hilarious. |
LordoftheMorons posted... This is definitely over. Melee's only chance would be a vote removal after the match finished. Even if there was legitimate fraud (a 50/50 chance imo), I don't think SBAllen would have the balls to do anything about it. Just sweep it under the rug like what Gimr did to Project M. |
MadHatter32 posted... Undertale rallying for SMRPG tomorrow would be hilarious. I love SMRPG. I could actually get behind that, OoT be damned :D --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
If
SMRPG even avoids the doubling I'll be very impressed. Honestly I'm
more expecting something around 70-30. SFF has been very light this
contest but OoT/SMRPG just feels like a matchup tailor-made for OoT to
crush hardcore. --- Welcome to the League of Antivotes. |
MadHatter32 posted... Undertale rallying for SMRPG tomorrow would be hilarious. Sounds like something people who knew they had no chance against OoT would do! ...which is funny because it's actually OoT that's the underdog --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
And by underdog I mean "has a 100% chance of losing" --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
LordoftheMorons posted... And by underdog I mean "has a 100% chance of losing" i bet the people of hyrule thought that over those seven long years but a hero will rise --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |

SFF has been very light this contest but OoT/SMRPG just feels like a matchup tailor-made for OoT to crush hardcore. I'll be very pleased if Castlevania finished ahead of Mario RPG in the X-Stats. Of course, that would make everything in Divisions VII & VIII look like absolute garbage, but oh well. --- Video game companies don't care about you, so stop kissing their asses (edited 12/13/2015 5:23:17 PM)report |
xp1337 posted... LordoftheMorons posted...And by underdog I mean "has a 100% chance of losing" How appropriate, OoT has been the champion for nearly seven years now. The mantle has passed, Tyrant of Time. --- Welcome to the League of Antivotes. |
Kylee Henke just half assed an question telling her to rally so uh. maybe some incoming undertale votes? --- Anything is possible when your man smells like Old Spice and not a lady. |

UltimaterializerX posted... Where the entire Ocarina/SMRPG poll fails to get as many votes as the loser of today's match. Tomorrow's match should have the biggest spillover we've ever seen. I think we could break 2000 votes at the freeze. I think SMRPG might actually look worse than we might be expecting, because all of this spillover should favor OoT by a higher percentage than the natural GameFAQs voters. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as raytan7585, Guru Champ! |
Yes, Link 2020 is my vision. --- raytan is the guru champ, yo yo yo He won it in the year of the draggy crow |

So what random rally happens next contest? Melee fanbase supporting Fox? |

Well, Smash cleared 80,000+, but still lags by over 4,000. --- Warning, the self-destruct system has been activated, all personnel should evacuate immediately, 5 minutes to detonation. |
Smash
rally down to 8th on the subreddit (not counting the sticky). It could
be making a decent comeback here if they had stickied it too (though of
course Undertale would ramp up again as soon as it felt threatened). --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
hylianknight3 posted... Yes, Link 2020 is my vision. I see what you did there --- Viviff on the go! (or from the toilet) http://i.minus.com/iUSn0BlyRplGN.gif |
Well, all I can say is Melee and RBY fought heroically |

Naved007 posted... lol no it wouldn't. Smash never stood a chance. Uh did you read my post? I never said Smash had a chance of actually winning. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
it can bw agreed that smash put up an amazing fight though. |
LordoftheMorons posted... Naved007 posted...lol no it wouldn't. Smash never stood a chance. If it was stickied for a week there would be no difference. It is still on the front page and that is what all matters on Reddit for everyone to see it. --- Yankees.Giants.Knicks.Rangers | 24, Banshee, Homeland, House of Cards, Game of Thrones, Suits, The Walking Dead |
