Loving this thread and your detailed yet entertaining analysis. Can't wait for 2017. Being new to this board, what the heck does SFF stand for??
https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/SFF

"Same Fanbase Factor is the generally-accepted theory that in matches involving two characters that share the same fanbase, the results will be somewhat skewed in favor of the more popular of the choices. Most matches involving two Square, Nintendo or Sega characters are said to have some degree of SFF."

Basically, let's say Mario Odyssey and Smash Ultimate are mostly even. Because they're both Nintendo games, and both high profile Switch games, there is likely to be a lot of overlap between the player bases of the two games. So even if Smash-Mario was a 51-49 match based on their actual power levels, Smash won much more than that because a lot of people who were voting Mario in previous matches defected to Smash when they directly competed.
