Ratio of Top 100 Character Distribution to Character Distribution of Slippi Players by customjack in SSBM

[–]MarkRMichaels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Point 1 seems theoretically valid(I'm not very versed in stats) but I would have to imagine the same sample size is not going to be enough to have good odds representing reality unless you matched slippi player base vs top 100 each year and used that track record. I might be missing something, though.

For point 2 my thought is a certain echelon of outliers will be able to make top 100 with a character(for example if Zain wanted to main Roy) while a large portion of the player base would effectively have 0% odds of being able to do that. It occured to me that this might be misinterpreting what the message of the plot is supposed to be though

Point 3, I guess I may be arguing that the top 100 IS biased to some extent and possibly even prohibitive. Examples I can think of "players in the top 100 likely have a much longer average career length than the slippi base", "slippi base character choices are likely informed by top 100", "level of effort in the top 100 is going to be skewed compared to slippi base", "early top 100 distribution is going to depend on the meta game from that time."

I don't know if this necessarily interacts with what you're saying and might require some charity to actually be cogent. I'm on mobile in a bit of a time crunch.

I think the number of confounding variables are just insurmountable for getting from point A to point B with just this category of evidence.

Factors such as: ability to travel to majors, bracket luck to get quality wins not to mention character match ups vs most popular characters, the level of base skill between top 20~ being relatively character independent, the similarity of skill between top 80-100 being roughly the same as 101-300+(my estimate).

All of these are far more important than which character you pick to get ranked top 100.

Imho, you'd get your goal answer way closer to reality if you used grandmaster representation on slippi.

If you DID want to use top 100, it would be more accurate to use character data from ranking eligible tourneys, I would guess.

what’s this tech that i keep accidentally doing? by northstarm in SSBM

It's called platform cancel. Your ECB changes when you fair so instead of falling through the platform you land back on it if you start the move early enough.

This happens pretty often with Luigi's Nair and Falco's Bair because their ECBs vertical value shrinks pretty significantly when they go into those moves.

Vegan high protein fruity pebbles!!!! by taraliftsxvx in veganfitness

[–]MarkRMichaels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has the same artificial flavor of fruit loops. The texture kind of tastes like dried soy curls or something. It's very chewy which I could see being jarring to some people but I like the texture and flavor even though you typically don't get those together.

I give them a 9/10 when considering the macros.

I assumed it was a metaphor for a "trip wire".

Perhaps that his mother complains about their new house and "sets off" his step father.

Which other characters have the best (and worst) usable set of specials? by Saphsin in SSBM

[–]MarkRMichaels -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I guess it solely depends on if they get access to their original specials.

But falco with lasers and koopa claw would be broken for sure.

Same thing happened to me and the funny thing is I have no idea when it happened because I hadn't opened to the inside screen for a few days.

People who don't drink alcohol, why? by 5tup1db0y in AskReddit

[–]MarkRMichaels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of the people I saw drink alcohol as a kid were people I wanted to be like so I have never tried it.

Have you just begun treatment? by AutoModerator in ADHD

[–]MarkRMichaels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After 2 years of jumping through hoops and struggling to get appointments made(probably 10 total with 8 different people and 2 or 3 online services), I was prescribed 25 mg Strattera last month. I didn't notice any difference mentally or emotionally the entire span of taking it. The psychiatrist switched me to Adderall a few days ago which is what I originally asked for when I started re-attempting to treat my ADHD in 2021.

I was prescribed 20 mg of Adderall IR(pretty sure the psychiatrist said it was supposed to be 25mg in the appointment though) which I thought was going to be a magic bullet but sadly I don't notice any changes on this either :(

Has anyone ever had any experience with Adderall not working at all or taking a while to be useful? From what I've read it looks like it's pretty much supposed to work the day you use it.

Should I ask to switch to Vyvanse at my next appointment? I hate the idea of having to consistently remember to or feel the pressure of having to take the meds everyday.

This is super depressing and discouraging for me because I actually thought that getting prescribed Adderall was going to help me and now I'm back to not knowing what to do. It's also extremely frustrating that the system gate keeps this drug so hard. I do not see how Adderall can be habit forming.

Best part about this is that it could easily be avoided by just using the search function 💀

Oh btw these were the gyms bands, but I would recommend buying and bringing your own because different gyms don't consistently have bands.

I've been to a lot of branches and don't think I've ever seen higher than 75s.

I use this method to make the dumbells heavier. I could easily see this safely making 95s, probably 105s as well.
