The Splat-Fests are PreDetermined

[Padre]

I find it amusing how upturned and pissed people get, when they start defending their belowed Splatfests, lets see some numbers then how Nintendo calculates every single match in two hours. Sure there are spreadsheets of these around? Those are believers who wont present the facts.

well time for some bottom-tier trolling i guess lol

if it was such a big problem don’t you think they would try to clean up the mess they’ve made?

What mess? There's nothing weird giong on with Splatfest, so what is there to 'clean up'?

Now, what I don't understand is why the most popular team loses so frequently.

That isn't the case in S2. It's pretty even so far.

It's not very complicated to calculate a win/lose ratio. There's nothing weird about this. As long as there's some little bit of data going out to some server or whatever after a match, it wouldn't require any effort.

Ahh. Not in game. i thought we were half talking about the real world and it’s problem with conspiracy theories. That’s what I was nudging at.

Well, that's the thing. That's something people're struggling with.
It's like saying, 'if rascism is such a big deal, don't you think they would've cleaned up the mess by now?'

It certainly isn't a hard calculation to make, just tally ever time a team wins against the opposite team. Whoever has the most by the end wins. Plain and simple, isn't like the number of wins are gonna be some astronomical number that a computer can't handle. Isn't like finding a percentage is that hard either, just take the number of wins, divide by the total of games that count, round outwards (thus not to have a 50/50 unless it was actually a tie which is near impossible) and bam, there's your results.

It isn't hard to believe. It just isn't. It's just basic math.

Also, you guys saying there's no data...

Suck it. :P

Well shoot. My apologies. Totally just made sense.
People are literally the problem with these types of things.
Thank you sir. For you have opened my eyes (not being sarcastic I swear).
Now let us return to being on topic.

What are amiibo then?

A one-time purchase that provides minimal benefits, nowhere near as bad as the sleazy practices ElecMaw mentioned, and in the context of your post, a strawman argument.

That's not true.

North America: The more popular team has won both battle categories twice, one of them three times, and neither five times.
Europe: The more popular team has won both battle categories once, one of them four times, and neither five times.
Japan: The more popular team has never won both battle categories, has won one of them four times, and neither six times.

If the battles results were random, you'd see the more popular team win both types of battles about 25% of the time and neither one about 25% of the time. Instead, they lose both types about 50% of the time, and win both types about 10% of the time. There's clearly bias.

 

[Chewwiii]

That's not true. —- There's clearly bias.

Ooohhh. I thinkk we might be on to something?
Maybe, just maybe, the less popular vote is given more points on wins unlike the more popular one. Heck, maybe the popular one is given a reduction of points of winning each game?

A small bonus, you buy it mostly for the figurine itself. In terms of actual gameplay you'll only get 3 pieces of gear out of it, the main perks aren't adjustable.

You could argue that the photoshoot feature is too much content being walled away, but for me personally it isn't.

 

[MINKUKEL]

4 years on and people still like using the 'amiibos are 16 bucks Mario Kart suits' type arguments...

@MindWanderer You're right. Though the odds shouldn't be entirely 25/25/50 I think. Plus, it's a bit more complicated since it's not just a simple win/lose thing but a percentage that can be very high or very low. I've been meaning to mess around with the Splatfest data for a while. Think I'm gonna look into them a bit more in-depth. The weirdest thing is the lack of 3-0 scores.

Though in the end, for the players the thing that matters most is if the overall wins are sort of spread 50/50 between the most and least popular teams. Which is still the case.

SPLATFESTS ARE RIGGED.

THEY DO IT FOR THE SAME REASON NASA SAYS THE EARTH IS ROUND.

I could've sworn the Earth was flat....
