@tycobb: You won whatever I lost.
Ugghh, back to the mines!
I've just gotten into this tonight. This is some baaaad shit. I fear for the future of my well-being.
@tycobb: That was fucking ridiculous. I never would've guessed Sponegebob was such a badass.
@onekillwonder_: I just don't like betting on characters that rely on a single power-attack. (Garlic Junior)
@sinusoidal: Chat occasionally has some funny stuff and most of the time is terrible; but what can you do; twitch chats. DEM ODDS
@onekillwonder_: Spongebob isn't great; standard hitbox + attacks mildly aggressively; fake Raditz is also not great but not horrible either.
@tycobb: Payouts got fucked up for a bit, Salty Fixed it shortly thereafter (so some people had 10 times as much cash, personally one of my 5ks turned into a 30k), people just starting out don't know what to do with 300k so they All In still.
@fredchuckdave: Oh really? Well shit, where's my extra cash? I didn't get anything special (not that I actually deserve it haha).
On an unrelated note: DBZ characters crack me up. Blocking every attack then randomly decide to charge and get their shit handed to them.
Oh Crap! Hugo vs Killer Whale! Bot chose Hugo >.< Let's hope for the best.
EDIT: Damn, if the whale could have just had one more win or if Hugo had just one loss, it would have bet for the whale. Time to manually fix that rank.
@mirado: WAIT!? When did those records show up? Last I checked it just had actual fighting game tournament players listed.... this changes everything! I will have to think about this. I may be able to increase my odds even more. Especially for the shittiest of characters by turning off betting for all those characters listed at 0 wins.
@tycobb: Since I started betting, so.....two days? Three? The catalog is apparently very deep; 2400 or so entries. It hasn't been updated since the 10th according to the top of the page, but I'm not sure I believe that as I noticed a few one win characters appear over the last two days.
Not sure if it groups multiple characters with the same name together, which might throw off your odds, but it would help weed out the real shit tier ones regardless.
@fluxwavez: Ahh, gotcha. Still, it should have the majority of the cast, right? I would assume you don't have to worry much about the non MUGEN characters as they won't come up for betting purposes in the Casino anyway.
@tycobb My evidence is purely anecdotal, but I've had a WAY higher hit rate following along with it vs ignoring it. Take that for what you will, but I've been able to rely on it pretty consistently with only a few upsets going against me.
@fluxwavez: Ahh, gotcha. Still, it should have the majority of the cast, right? I would assume you don't have to worry much about the non MUGEN characters as they won't come up for betting purposes in the Casino anyway.
Yeah, most of the MUGEN characters are in that list but it tends to not get updated in a while, it seems, so the newly added ones don't appear on it or they don't have fully accurate stats.
Whelp... I think I'm officially sort of burnt out on this whole deal. I might pop back in to see if he updates anything though or whenever FGC events like EVO are taking place.
The magic is kind of gone for me as well, but I'm still compelled to try this until I can get to a billion. There are still some occasionally ridiculously entertaining matches and the Thursday exhibitions are always fun.
@tycobb: The fix took it back, somehow he could fix that weird payout issue but couldn't solve the 3 missed bets yesterday.

Yeah, the tourneys and whatnot are cool. Also doesn't help that Dragon's Crown has been consuming every ounce of free time.
@fredchuckdave: I remember those. I lost those, but it didn't take the money from me. I was OK with that ;)
Apparently I just won $17K on Gray Fly vs Captain Marvel
Log: Betting on Gray fly (1-4). Better ranked against Captain marvel (3-2). Auto Ranking (425) vs Neutral
@fluxwavez: There's only around 50 million in the system or so, you'd have to keep playing for 20 times as long at least :p
@tycobb: Gray Fly is okay/high damage, Fake Marvel is hella dumb so that was an easy pick, nice odds though.
And a accidental mis-click looses me 20K.
I could have sworn I clicked on Ken and not Crono.
Ah, well, can't complain too much. Even with that little misfortune I'm still up for the day.
So I checked out for a few days. Does it seem like it takes twice as long between matches now? Switching to 2 new characters feels glacial now.
I imagine it at least partly has to do with server load. I remember the first day I tuned in, some of the regulars were impressed that the view count had gone above 2000 that day. Now it's 5000+ anytime I'm watching. And I know at one point Salty switched servers in the last few days.
So I checked out for a few days. Does it seem like it takes twice as long between matches now? Switching to 2 new characters feels glacial now. And I swear it takes like 10-20 seconds longer to tally all of the bets and reveal the odds.
Currently, yeah, it's taking quite a while. The waiting time varies dramatically and what's happening now might be due to server load.
I liked this at first but it kind of sucks now. When your in the mines its almost impossible to get out now. People with cash rarely bet on even matches which leaves it up to the miners where even if you win it means nothing on a 1:1 odds match. There are upsets, it's just very rare, especially since most people who frequent there have seen a ton of chars and know the difference between variants.
I dunno it was kind of cool and fun as a novelty at first. It's just not all that now.

Yeah maybe shorten the rooster a bit and care more about balancing. I think a game like WWE13 with VCGW would be way more interesting^^
As of this posting, Kang has been fighting nothing for about 6 minutes now. The timer's broken and the opponent has disappeared. Life is losing all meaning, send help
Somehow, having Snake Eater play is perfect.
You mean Gah eater.
Day 1 of Kang match: The timer has slowed to a crawl. The waifu I bet on has disappeared. I don't know which is worse: losing the money when the match ends, or waiting.
Day 4 of Kang match: If you are reading this, send help. I don't have much energy left to move...
Day 12 of Kang match: Itchy. Tasty. Gah.
