You can NOT add up all of the totals in the no split total. That is more money than has been put into circulation.
The amount of money that has been put into circulation via brawl tournaments, is $80863.37. You find this number at the bottom of "Cash won in tournament" column. This column should be named "Cash won in tournament (full split)." In this column, for any player who uses a character, their winnings get divided evenly among the characters they have used during the course of the tournament. As a result, this is the ONLY column that has an ACCURATE total of the amount of money put into circulation via brawl tournaments (excluding MMs, crew battles, Brawl mods, MK banned tournies, and any other exception you could POSSIBLY think of in order to try to refute any of that).
Now, the next thing you do, is you go to the "No Split" column. This shows much much money PLAYERS who have USED MK have won. The amount that MK has in this column is $44692.41. NOW, COMPARE THE TWO NUMBERS WE HAVE.
Total money from Brawl tournaments- $80863.37
Money players have won while using MK- $44692.41
DIVISION TIME!!!
44692.41/80863.37
maybe you can do this mentally, I'm going to use a calculator.
It comes out to ~55.27%
HEY, that is over 50%!
Now, this is the players who have used MK, you're right. That's not completely fair. However, for the exact same reason that this isn't fair, you can't use the column titled, "Percentage of Each Dollar Won" which shows ~38.79%.
Now, since both of those are unfair for the exact same reason, what is the best, reasonable solution? Use the average column! So, looking at that column we come up with 47.03%.
Hey, you're right, it's not over 50%. However, 50% is a completely arbitrary number, and seems like a VERY high expectation for a game with 40 characters in it. NOW, you're going to argue that there's only 10 or 15 or 20 viable characters or whatever. And you're going to say that in that case, it's not that high of an expectation! COOL! Let's do this now! Subtract all of the winnings from every character under the top 10, or 15, or 20. I'm lazy and not going to do this. Eyeballing it, it looks like you're taking about $5000 out of the equation. While I'm not sure, if I had to guess, MK's % of money won would go up, to probably right about 50%!!!
The sums of the columns are not relevant. The percentages of anything except arguably the "No Split" and "Average" column are not relevant. QUIT REFERENCING THEM.
