Alright, I see now... all of your calculations are correct, but the colored conclusion is incomplete, and some of the data are not in the right areas, from what I can see. Let's see if I can piece it together from here, eh?

Meta-Knight users have won 53.17% of all money that have circulated Brawl tournaments. As a result, Meta-Knight as a character has been able to win about 33.7% of all tournament money, while other, non-MK characters who have been used by MK users have been able to win 31.2% of all tournament money.

53.17% - This is the overall percentage of money that Meta-Knight users have won from tournament. It's the value that's been set in the "Cash Won(No Split)" column of the chart I provide weekly.

33.7% - You almost had this in the right spot, but you have to remember that this value truly represents how much money MK users have won for MK as a character. This is heavily supported by the "Percentage of Each Dollar Won" column of the chart I provide weekly, as the two values are extremely close together and actually coincide when we add a +/- 5% range to your percentage.

31.2% - This was in the right spot. Why am I even talking about this one lol

So... I think we've come to a conclusion! What do you think, Ishiey?

Well, we've come to a conclusion, but we still need to determine what this data stands for, right?

Let me throw out a theory: If "hard" MK mains' secondaries, as denoted by Special, didn't technically earn that money, and it can be attributed to MK himself, can we not just add 33.7% and 31.2%, and say that MK has truly taken 64.9% of all tournament money in 2011?

Keep in mind that 33.7% and 31.2% can both now be attributed to the "Split between characters" columns, so we can naturally add them up for a true value of how much money MK as a character, rather than MK users, have truly won; 64.9% of the total pot of 59709.35, which is a whopping $38751.37!

Thoughts on that?

john- that doesn't work. some of those are just MK users using other characters and winning money without going MK. you should just use that 53% number if anything. and it should really add up to that.... because there has to be some reason for that number to be higher than just the total MK users have won

I had a feeling there was something off with my interpretation... that's why I called it a "theory."

I guess the best we can determine from the final conclusion, then, is how much splash money other characters get from MK usage...

it's not even splash money because if they used MK at all in a particular tourney their monetary winnings would fall under the MK user category. it's just tournies where MK users didn't use MK

What are you talking about

Most players use more than one character at tournaments...
I'm saying that you should just use the "user" figure. the one that's 53% because that counts everyone who used MK in a tourney and won money. I dunno where this 66% figure came from. some extra 13% would be added to MK that has nothing to do with him

Uh, Steam, I conceded that point to you a few posts back, lol

What I'm trying to say is that the only real conclusion we can derive from this is that the characters that have been used in addition to MK by MK users have won 31.2% of the money in 2011.

The "theory" that I came up with was nothing more than a theory, and you put it down pretty quickly.

Since the split % is 157.8%, that means that 57.8% of tournament winnings are won by a person progressing with at least two different characters, correct?

And John#s, I think your logic is correct that MK won 64.9% of tournament money so far this year. I made the same calculations before, and I do not see any error if there is one. It's basically 100 - 35.1, where 35.1 is the percent of tournament winnings earned by a player who didn't use MK above the threshold of your formula. I don't really understand Steam's logic disproving it, especially not the part about using the 53% value X_x Can someone elaborate on that please?

I'll leave Steam to explain it, because now that I'm re-reading it, I'd like to hear his reasoning a bit further, but...

Since the split % is 157.8%, that means that 57.8% of tournament winnings are won by a person progressing with at least two different characters, correct?
Could you explain where this came from, at the very least?

What is it you guys are working so hard at here? Removing the MK portion of this data won't give you any idea how things would look without MK. You are just sorting out leftovers right now.

It's not meant to sort out how things would look without MK, it's meant to attach numbers to his performance so we can see exactly how dominant he is in this metagame (imo)

John#s, I messed up, I meant the no split lol :x Since we have 157.8% of the total winnings when there is no split, that means that 57.8% of the original 100% is counted again because it was won with the use of another character. The no split category wouldn't be larger unless people had secondaries, basically. When they use another character, their winnings are recounted, but my initial statement was wrong because the more characters someone used to win (ex. Ally using four characters) the more they'd increase no split %. Sooooo there's no way to really determine it by looking at the chart unless you dig deeper into the data, nvm :p

All these numbers flying around are starting to confuse me... Ishiey, what would you say would be the final conclusions that we can derive from all of this? By that, I mean every last possible thing you can think of.

Sorry to be so persistent, but I get lost kind of easily sometimes, so I just wanted to get back on track. -___ -;

@john- MK has won 33.7% on his own. other characters used by MK users won 31.2%

add these up and it's greater than 53.17, the ammount won by anyone who used MK at a particular tournament.

this means some of the contributors to the 31.2% figure were people who had used and won with MK before, but in certain instances did not use MK at all and won money, and therefore can't really be used to show MK's success. it wouldn't really be fair for someone to use MK for a few months, win some money, then go solo wario and win some more money. but have all of it go back to MK.

While people are answering BSP's question, I'm gonna go ahead and put out there the reason I haven't put up this week's results yet is because I'm waiting on Genesis 2's results...

Genesis 2(Awaiting results...)


And here, I went ahead and calculated the projected payouts of Genesis 2. These probably aren't the EXACT payouts(they might be off by a few dollars), but they are the payouts according to the original tournament page, so yeah.

Obviously I can't integrate these into the data yet because my payout projection may be off by a few dollars, and I don't know what the character usage was.

Alright, here's the update! And... a triple post!? O___O;

C'mon guys, get to commentating!

Anyway, before I get to the good stuff, I'd just like to point this out. While I was making the updates, I noticed something alarming, so I thought I'd put it up for everyone to see.



That's about 53% of all tournament money Meta-Knight has there. From a competitive standpoint, does anyone see an ENORMOUS problem with this...?

But anyway, on to the actual update!

Well, the metaknightgame is developing nicely

:phone:

Well, since no one else wants to speak

I don't think this is a healthy metagame forming. The splits between Falco, Diddy, and Snake are what I would consider a healthy competition between the better characters in the game. But MK is just soooooo out of their league, and since MK has taken the most money pretty much every week, no character will catch him, and his lead will only grow. This means that 50% will become 60%, then 70%, and so on. In this one update alone, MK made over 4,000$. MK has more than Diddy, Snake, Falco, Wario, and even Marth combined. Yeah....

Keep in mind you're dealing with the type of people who probably would have said Akuma was a balanced, non-bannable character in SFII, or that Justice should have been tourney legal in GG.

Edit: John#s is using it as an anti-MK argument though, so my last comment was kinda totally wrong. >_>;;

Mike, you're awesome, thanks for this

I already have all the results from all of the Elite Four series integrated into my data, so the next update will include all of the non-Elite Four tournies on that list.

maybe we should see what % of people placing without MK had attendees who were known as MK users so we know which tournies non-MKs won/placed in that didn't have any MK users to get ***** by. that sounds hella difficult tho.

Well, that request sounded like a pro-ban looking for and easy way to disregard tournaments that didn't have a high level metaknight present. If that is what you were looking for, I urge you to keep in mind that it works both ways.

it would work both ways if MK had real counters...

and it's a perfectly legit request. MK can't dominate if he's not there...

Lets say there is a mid size tournament with 40 players or so. Top 8 is 7 MKs and a lucario. The other 32 players have no Diddy Kongs, Falcos or Snakes. Would it be fair for me to say that MK only took the top spots because his hardest non-mk matchups weren't present?

How about VC9 for example? http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?p=12082239#post12082239 , top 6 has 5 MKs. BUT 4 of them are the arguably the best MKs in the country. I could argue that the only reason MK dominated here was the lack of top diddies, top falcos, and top snakes. Aside from the MKs at that tournament, I don't see a top anything. If you read a little deeper into the results you see that MK dominated because there was no Mikehaze, DEHF, ADHD, Gnes, Razer, TKD, ESAM, Nick Riddle etc.

So yea I think it works both ways. You see a falco/snake getting all the money because MK didn't show up. I see a MK getting all the money because Diddy didn't show up.

Well, if it helps, I am keeping track of MK banned tournaments on a separate spreadsheet. Given that a lot of TOs have designs to run MK banned tournies in the near future, would that help answer your question in any way, Tesh?

You can isolate cases all you want, but there are way too many tournaments over the entire year to assume this happens often enough to have a major effect. The aggregate data would speak louder than single incidents.
