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??

SFF = Same Fanbase Factor. It's usually applied when two entities that have significant overlap (like two Nintendo games etc, two Final Fantasy characters) meet and the more dominant one overperforms on the weaker one.

Probably the most famous example is Link vs Ganondorf. Let's say a match between Link and Sephiroth happens and Link gets 66% on Sephiroth. Now let's say a match between Sephiroth and Alucard happens and Sephiroth gets 51%. Naturally, you expect Sephiroth and Alucard to be near equal in strength and if Link ever goes up against Alucard that he'll get around 66% on him, which would be fairly accurate in most situations.

Now imagine Sephiroth gets 51% on Ganondorf. Normally, without SFF, you'd expect Sephiroth and Ganondorf to be near equal in strength and that Link should get around 66% on Ganondorf as well. However, since Link and Ganondorf have significant overlap since they are from the same franchise, Link would probably get 80% on Ganondorf in a real match.
