1) TJF(The JUG Factor)

A classic. Morrigan, Tifa, Zero Suit Samus...

2) NGNW("normal guy never wins")

Gordon Freeman, Niko Bellic, Tanner, Eddie Riggs, Tommy Vercetti, Nathan Hale, Frank West, Alan Wake, Welkin Gunther, Chris Redfield, Captain McMillian, Captain John Price, Nathan Drake, Marcus Fenix, Dan Hibiki, Steven Armstrong, Mike Haggar, John Marston, etc....

If you're a "normal guy", or have a "normal guy" sounding name, you will SUCK in these contests. I don't care how many million copies GTA 5 has sold, those "characters" from those games will never win.

3) Dat top option

When in doubt, vote for the top one lolzzz.

4) Kingdom HEARTS FACTOR(for 2003 contest)

KH being the reason Cloud was able to deliver the biggest upset ever on Link in 2003(arguably)

5) SFF(Same Franchise Factor)

Ganon getting like 20% against Link in 2004 lollllllll.

What are some of your favorite "factors" in contest history?

TTIF

Information about Tommy Tallaricos Intellivision is revealed on October 20, which stuns and captivates the masses causing them to turn against Nintendo and JRPGs for the duration of the contest.

I always liked "sore thumb factor" in the 4-ways. Man oh man did Kirby take advantage of that...!

Hockey Factor

6) RacistFAQs

Whenever a black character underperforms or loses... it's racistFAQS

The best match of this being Golden Sun vs GTA: San Andreas. That match was GOLDEN for this factor.

I'm a sucker for pretty much any barrier-reference in a close match.

Oh yea I think it is fanbase. We would have to ask official contest historians, like NGamer, if it's franchise or fanbase.

Beginning with the 2015 contest, this factor probably doesn't exist anymore with the options being listed from left to right (instead of top to bottom) when the contests started doing multiple matches running at the same time.

You forgot the After School Vote, which has allowed for stuff like Sonic turning a 2,000 vote deficit against Crono into a 2,000 vote lead. Or Axel shaving almost 10% off of Mega Man.
