Well said, ftl. In the long run, across all players, the luck would average out. But in a tournament setting, we'll say double elimination for the sake of example, you're only guaranteed 6 games in two matches. So for any one player, the luck wouldn't average out until they played in a LOT of...

Double post, my apologies.

Yes, I understand antes and blinds. However, anytime/anywhere I've played poker, if you're not in the blind spot you still get your two cards and choose how to go from there. Those two cards tell you whether or not you want to play this hand, just like the rule set will tell you whether or not...

Watching the first one, I feel your pain. Watching the second, you just didn't play the match all the way out. You can't blame the items on that second one. That was a great fight, fun to watch, and from the sound of it fun to play in. I don't mean this to be insulting at all, I'm just going...

This I did not know. My bad. Anyways, I still think it's worth looking into. Someone play 100 matches with All-Brawl settings, and count the number of times an explosive spawning during an attack occurs. In fact, we should have like 5-10 people do this to get a good sample size. Don't count...

I'm pretty sure that it is a random factor though. Check out this analogy, complete with italics and parenthetical comparison to smash. A fan (bob-omb) leans into the field of play (spawns) where a player is about to make a catch (land a smash), costing him an out (a stock). The Cubs...

Long post is long. If you don't care about my smash history, skip to the yellow line for the more relevant info. Ah, the old "my roommates have a different gaming philosophy" story. I know this one well. I've been playing since 64, and I play to have fun, and also to make myself better...

No johns? A win is a win, a loss is a loss. It IS like poker in that if you don't think you can win in the current conditions, you don't play. The difference being that in poker you just play another hand, whereas in smash you play another tournament. Anyone remember when the Cubs fan caught...

Well, I didn't do RC :(. I wasn't keeping track of my numbers very well as I kept plucking at bad times/spots and losing some of them without counting. But of the roughly 246 that I did record, this is what I got. Red: 57 (23.2%) Yellow: 64 (26.0%) Blue: 60 (24.4%) White: 37 (15.0%)...

Well I'm off work and bored, so I'll test a few stages. I'll try RC since it was mentioned, and I guess Luigi's Mansion since I like that stage. I'm not sure what the stage list is like these days, but I'll look at it and maybe do another stage or two from it.

I'll play. SWF: kingofping4 Tag: KoP4 AIM: kingofping4 FC: 3222-5259-3461

Da N beat me 3-1

I posted a result in my pool, 18 west, and it hasn't been updated yet. I think this is where I let you guys know about it?

Perfect Chaos beat me 3-0

I guess I'll put in a little space holder to say that it's just the four of us in this pool, since time is up for check-in. Good luck guys!
