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. --- Ralliers' determination can't even hold a birthday candle to the blazing flame of DpOblivion's winning spirit! |

*salute* --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest Congrats to DpOblivion in the guru! |
I just want OoT to get a cut so I can go to sleep. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
If MGS1 had beaten MGS3, the ultimate loser would have been Destiny but MGS3 isn't bound by destiny --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif What DpOblivion did to me in the Guru Contest, in GIF form |
It's not getting a cut until counterrallies gain traction imo (and even then it will get like one cut and then be smacked down by another surge) --- Ralliers' determination can't even hold a birthday candle to the blazing flame of DpOblivion's winning spirit! |
xp1337 posted... I just want OoT to get a cut so I can go to sleep. Go to sleep. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
OoT cut 0.08% that update and still lost the update by 120 votes go to sleep --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif What DpOblivion did to me in the Guru Contest, in GIF form |
KamikazePotato posted... xp1337 posted...I just want OoT to get a cut so I can go to sleep. man the dead zone could do it! it might be the only time too! i need this. just one cut so i can go in character again and have my last bit of fun --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
http://i.imgur.com/43nlvQf.jpg People are still making fan art of this. Kinda nice to see the internet care about this place again, even for a little bit. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
I think you could plausibly get into character for presaging a comeback if OoT breaks 45% on an update ...but I think you'll be waiting a long time to go to sleep on that, too --- Welcome to the League of Antivotes. |
man 45% updates please this is ocarina of time i'm not settling for that go big or go home >_> (I'll probably get too tired soon.) --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
at least you can sleep I slept at 4 and woke up at 12:30AM EST to find that reigns won the championship and OoT was getting blown the f*** out that was one of the most "whoah what the f*** did I miss" moments for me in quite some time |

KamikazePotato posted... I present to you: Undertale's GameFAQs user rating over time, subtitled: A Brief History of Downvotes Probably sub 4.20 or so by the time this is over |
Seems weird if it has a downward spike much larger than the other matches even if this is the finals. I dunno, 4.28? --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
Wow
wtf is this s***? OoT you disappoint me. I will still try to rally for
you though. You can't lose this badly. Why is there no site banner? --- 9/2/13-The Hero of GameFAQs fought bravely but fell to an unrelenting horde supported by a corrupt tyranny. R.I.P. Hero of Time, 7 time CB Champion, Link |
Ocarina! Lol! |
I wonder if we are ever going to see OOT cut in the whole match It didn't even come close --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
Okay
so I just checked my facebook messages and zelda dungeon agreed to
rally. That page has 400k likes just have to give them some more info
and they will make a post. They specifically said they are only willing
to make 1 post though. --- 9/2/13-The Hero of GameFAQs fought bravely but fell to an unrelenting horde supported by a corrupt tyranny. R.I.P. Hero of Time, 7 time CB Champion, Link |

man it's going to feel weird celebrating OoT if it uses rallies, even in character. was kind of hoping it could strike in the dead zone on natural strength. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
OOT will get some cuts I'm sure of it. Will probably be late in the match though. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

Don't you remember what the skyward sword rally did for Link vs Draven? This page has over twice as many likes. --- 9/2/13-The Hero of GameFAQs fought bravely but fell to an unrelenting horde supported by a corrupt tyranny. R.I.P. Hero of Time, 7 time CB Champion, Link |
Let's see some fun. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Unfortunately
the message they sent me agreeing to rally/asking for more info was
like 7 hours ago so I might not get a response until tomorrow. God damn I
should have taken the day off. --- 9/2/13-The Hero of GameFAQs fought bravely but fell to an unrelenting horde supported by a corrupt tyranny. R.I.P. Hero of Time, 7 time CB Champion, Link |
I
want to see some OoT rallies just to make this match more interesting
and to drive up the vote totals if OoT can somehow make this match
close. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as DpObliVion, Guru Champ! |

Yes But I also remember that Draven biggest lead was like 6300 and it was 9 hours into the match We are 3 hours into the match and the lead is 33% bigger, it's pointless OOT MIGHT cut 2 updates and then sink into Oblivion again So if you want OOT to at least win an update in the entire match, go do it --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |
In
fact, I don't know if I can do it. God forbid I add fuel to the inane
"see you're okay with it when it's for your side" nonsense even if it's
abundantly clear I'm just messing around. this is how hope dies (That said, don't take this as me discouraging any rallying attempts out of guilt or anything. Do what you want to. My own issues are my own.) --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? |
If by some miracle OoT got close to UT, UT would just reveal its Golden form and beat OoT back. --- Arcvalons really is a genius.-kamikazetomato. Voice of Myself. |
Maybe if Obama or the Pope rally for OoT it'd have a chance. Maybe. --- Arcvalons really is a genius.-kamikazetomato. Voice of Myself. |
get Donald Trump to plug the poll during the debate tonight --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
Undertale is taking it easy on Ocarina right now. You sure you wanna piss this thing off? --- Welcome to the League of Antivotes. |
Imagine if during the Smash direct Sakurai comes and says "everyone, please go to GameFAQs.com and vote for Ocarina of Time" --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 |

I figure he'd just hate Undertale for being soft. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |
UT gets its first update with a gain of under 100. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
red sox 777 posted... UT gets its first update with a gain of under 100. How long did it took for Draven to get under that ? |
Averia posted... red sox 777 posted...UT gets its first update with a gain of under 100. 10 minutes. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
Probably much sooner considering the lower vote totals. --- http://i.imgur.com/3DwCNLJ.gif What DpOblivion did to me in the Guru Contest, in GIF form |
In fact, Draven didn't get another update +100 for 2 hours after that. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 NEVER FORGET. |
JJH777 posted... Ok I'm going to try to make a neutral r/gaming topic I will link it here so you guys will hopefully upvote it. I was gonna make one if no one else did. Best of luck with it gaining traction. --- Ralliers' determination can't even hold a birthday candle to the blazing flame of DpOblivion's winning spirit! |
What's going on. Has OoT *really* thrown in the towel? ...something is suspicious here. Something isn't sitting right. I thought Undertale would have lost some ground by now. What's going on? |
