Based on this result and the two MM matches, Link is projected to get 81% on Ganon. He is performing better here than he did against Ganon!

I guess anti-voting kept him from going higher in the Ganon match?
Cloud is also overperforming against Crono based on stats, so I guess anti-voting really goes up depending on the size of the blowout.

how much difference does an OoT picture make vs a BotW pic?


A lot more considering OoT is still a long way ahead of BOTW. And this site is still nostalgia driven. Otherwise characters like crono alucard and tifa wouldn’t be doing so well.

BOTW is up there with the likes of MM and Lttp though.


Netflix series gave Alucard relevancy again and may have boosted him to a new high.

Or cloud is sffing crono a bit

Why does Sff only exist for Nintendo franchises?

Clearly a huge ton of people have played both.

I could see Crono having more overlap with Nintendo characters than Final Fantasy characters honestly. When you look at what type of character he is he has a lot more in common with Link than Cloud.
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!
Imo what happens is that after a certain percentage stats are not just that linear, especially when you consider popular characters like this. Cloud has a hard time going much above 60% because everybody anti-votes him to prevent Final Fantasy from winning again. Link also faces the same problem albeit on a small scale maybe.
Lopen your Noble nine theories have had a rough week maybe just accept the obvious sff from games released two years apart.

Maybe if Crono was in smash sure. He has no relevance to Nintendo now. FF was part of Nintendo in that SNES era.

Lloyd Irving has more Nintendo Link Than Crono

I’m not talking about the SNES era Nintendo fans anymore. It’s the modern ones GameCube and onwards era.

And I’m not talking about FF. JRPGs in general

Pretty much a huge % of Jrpg fans on this site has played both.

So they’d have a common interest in Crono and Cloud

I actually agree with Crono not being that closely linked to Cloud. He probably has a little SFF with both Nintendo and FF. But limiting it too company doesn't sound very accurate.
Legends and Loser Bracket, Round 2

Solid Snake vs. Auron
Registered Vote Result:
Solid Snake - 5372 (62.74%)
Auron - 3190 (37.26%)

Anonymous Vote Result:
Solid Snake - 5171 (59.02%)
Auron - 3591 (40.98%)

Tifa Lockheart vs. Sephiroth
Registered Vote Result:
Tifa Lockheart - 4483 (52.37%)
Sephiroth - 4078 (47.63%)

Anonymous Vote Result:
Tifa Lockheart - 4579 (52.25%)
Sephiroth - 4184 (47.75%)

After the unusual result of Snake doing better with registered users in the Zelda match, this result against Auron is more typical of the characters that have done great or poorly with registered users. Snake does almost 4% better with registered users here.

Same fanbase matches can be wonky sometimes, and here's a result that is about as close as you can get to an identical result between registered and anonymous users. Tifa only barely does better with registered users, but not by much. Lopen thought this match might have the biggest difference between registered and anonymous users. Unfortunately, that is not the case here.

As a result of the rather poor vote totals today (only about 600 votes ahead of Ganondorf/Mega Man and Alucard/Bowser), we've got a second straight day with more than 49% registered users.

I also went back and calculated Tifa's percentage with registered and anonymous users with the board vote and at the end of the first hour. The results showed the early anti-vote crowd doesn't consist mainly of registered users.

During the first 5 minutes:
Registered users - 55.03%
Anonymous users - 60.19%

At the end of the first hour:
Registered users - 56.16%
Anonymous users - 54.57%

After that point, Tifa lost percentage for the rest of the match among both registered and anonymous users.

How do you do this exactly? Is it just an estimate based on some sort of theory or is there some sort of way to figure out how many registered voters have voted at a specific point in the match?

Crono is fairly independent from both Nintendo and Square so he avoids SFF better than most. Overlap still exists though.

Raw vote totals over the course of the match can be obtained from the source code of this page:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/map?id=7369 (you can change the poll ID to check other matches)

After viewing the source code, you have to look under the section for var pollChart_total to see the raw vote totals. Each data point represents a 5 minute update, starting from the 5 minute mark in the match. The first data point for both characters is the raw vote totals at the end of the board vote, but finding the vote totals for the end of the first hour is a bit tougher. The number shown inside of the quotation marks (such as 1543708800000) is a Unix timestamp, and you can convert them into an actual human readable timestamp by inputting it onto a website such as this one:

https://www.epochconverter.com/

Note that the Unix timestamps in the source code with the raw vote totals have to be adjusted forwards by 5 minutes. Although Unix timestamp 1543712100000 corresponds to 7:55 PM (if you input this into a converter), this actually refers to the 8:00 PM update instead. That's what I meant when the Unix timestamps in the GameFAQs source code have to be adjusted forwards by 5 minutes.

Once I have the raw vote totals for the end of the board vote and Power Hour, these can be inputted into a spreadsheet along with the adjusted vote totals from creativename's updater to calculate the registered/anonymous results.

Overlap exists for everything. My point is it’s much higher for Crono cloud because

1) They are two of the most popular JRPGs on the site with the most playrate of any jrpgs most likely
2) % of fans of CT and FF7 are higher than % of fans who love both FFX and SOTN for example.

When you get matches like Phoenix Wright vs KOSMOS

The % of people who have played both is probably hugely significantly less than people who have only played one or neither. So overlap is probably very insignificant.

Sure but it's all armchair theory. Practice has never shown any sort of disproportionate results between FFVII and Crono

Like SFF requires the result to be significantly different if the two meet than indirectly. That's never really proven to be the case though.

Cloud is bleeding percentage like crazy for the last half hour. Heck, Crono just cut in the last one.

It's like Cloud had a weak 5 minutes but a strong power hour, and now it's Crono who is stronger.

No but the difference isn’t huge. I’m not saying crono/cloud is Link/Mario. But with how low the votals are on this site now than ever I think Sff has to be more relevant than any other contest.
And then Cloud gains a big update.

Nvm.

Measuring through Alucard and Bowser says Crono should get 45%. This isn't something we really need to explain away as random variation makes as much sense as anything. Hell Bowser rSFFing Crono's Nintendo fanbase element like he may have done Kirby makes as much sense.

I'm just saying SFF between Crono and Cloud isn't "obvious" cause we've never really seen evidence for it before. I'd argue we've seen more evidence over the years for Castlevania and FF SFF or Crono and Nintendo SFF tbh.
No problem!

Yeah Cloud is overperforming by 1% now. That difference is basically noise.
