I still don't even know what the difference between SFF, rSFF and LFF is

SFF - Same Fanbase Factor - When two characters that have an overlapping fanbase and one gets blown out by the other way worse than they would if they were facing a neutral opponent of similar strength. The most classic example is Link blowing out Ganondorf so hard in 2003 that Ganondorf literally performed worse than CATS did against Link.

rSFF - Reverse Same Fanbase Factor - Similar idea, but the idea is that the weaker character does better than they would be expected to. No examples because AFAIK this is theoretical and has never occurred. Especially complicated because if the weaker character won thanks to this... they're no longer the weaker character now are they?

LFF - Leach Fanbase Factor - Only happens in matches with 3 or more characters. Happens when multiple characters who share a fanbase are present and as a result they kind of steal support from the strongest one and make them look more vulnerable/a neutral character looks like they're doing a lot better by standing out.

Think Link/Mario/Samus/Cloud. Mario and Samus will be soaking up some of the Nintendo support that would go to Link if they were replaced by more neutral characters like say... Ryu and Leon (RE4). So Link will look worse/Cloud will look better if you compared them there.
