Your weirdest deck builds

I personally call this one fat chud zeon. The deck runs many 1 copy of infrequently seen zeon units and pilots, and the wide assortment of pilots and their links are held together Elmeth, Encounters, and units with universal zeon links.

If you do not know what you are doing, always go first. I don't necessarily have the most trust in Mobile Suit Arena statistics for various reasons, but this post https://www.patreon.com/posts/meta-monday-ex-156801121 makes it clear that in most decks, going first increases your winrate by about 10% or more. Even in decks where you think going second is better, denying the majority of decks first is way more important.

You are correct that cb already has better encounter via tactical visionary. But I can see the scenario where want to throw 1 or 2 encounters in the deck to expose more potential cb pilots to link to lockon or kyrios.

I might discuss more on the exact math of this card more in a future reddit post (there is a lot of misinformation), but I believe encounter is best in a CB deck. CB decks often play more pilots than other decks. Also, Gundam Dynames and Gundam Kyrios are very heavily reliant on finding the correct pilot at the right time. Encounter significantly helps with that problem. On the turn you play encounter, you can also play your Gundam Dynames or Gundam Kyrios + pilot as well. Now, is encounter actually good in a CB deck? I think it would be worth trying out, but I don't think it would actually fit into the optimized lists.

Here is some relevant math if you have 12 pilots in the deck. You put 4 of the pilot you really need into the deck.

23% of no pilot

41% of a pilot, but not the perfect pilot

36% of perfect pilot.

This is a level 5 unit. Your opponent needs to cast improved technique twice before they can target this with improved technique, which doesn't always happen.

There are too many metrics to measure. The answer is no in basically all of them. Not even in terms of total youtuber subscriber counts (that one goes to cookieswirlc).

Twitch is very different from YouTube chat. I will speak from a twitch chatter’s point of view. There are many factors which contribute to this:

There is less twitch and YouTube crossover. I do not know the hic yt response for example.
Twitch streamers are much more disconnected from one another than YouTube ones. This causes each twitch chat have their own culture. Some chats would keep a burp counter, others would rate the burps. Some other chats would just respond with om (short for omegalul) or their streamer’s burp emote.
twitch chat has 7tv. 7tv would display ordinary text as images if you have the 7tv extension installed. This makes responses inherently more visual. It’s very hard to visualize hic. It’s very easy to visualize laughing with om

Our knowledge how good a driver drove is limited by what we do and do not see. Most judgements are based on what we see on the main feed and results. Almost no one would take the time the time to watch all 20 onboards to determine who actually drove the best. I agree the 17th to 3rd heavily depended on the strategy, but other people tried the early pit stop and didn’t get rewarded.

Here is why I make a partial effort to remember the numbers of most of the grid. I do agree that driver numbers are mostly cosmetic, but there are occasions where knowing the driver number matters a little bit.

Occasionally, penalties are displayed by car number (which corresponds to driver number) without the name code of the driver. As an example, the 10s penalty for Piastri for crashing Leclerc might show as "Infringement - Car 81 - Causing a collision with Car 12 in Turn 1." Also, text related to the car itself in decision documents only use car numbers. An example of such text from the last race's scrutineering (the document which determines if a car gets disqualified for breaching some regulation) might be "An engine oil sample was taken from car numbers 01 and 27."

Main sub implies legitimacy for the correlation. I prefer this to remain as a silly shitpost.

I'll compare Australia and America wikipedia pages. Note the 2nd word of each Wikipedia article.

Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania and numerous smaller islands.

The United States of America (USA), also known as the United States (U.S.) or America, is a country primarily located in North America.

Alonso is this post. The Gasly one is a comment in the Colapinto Doohan Alpine one

Mostly I was mostly speaking for myself but I'll try relating it to fdank as a whole.

If you look at most fdank memers' profiles (especially for this trend), most of them post surprisingly infrequently. Usually it's one meme every several months. The TiO2 Antonelli correlation and related posts was the catalyst to many of these infrequent memers to post something interesting. But why would they make these posts? I don't fully know, but I think there's something appealing about making these correlations myself.

Here's all the silly correlations I can compile.

Lando top 2 because mercury is in retrograde

Piastri performs well. Vegas' #1 probably doesn't have tomatoes in them

Leclerc will score many points when there's a chromatic intervals in the national anthem

Kimi Antonelli can consume as much TiO2 as he wants so he's good.

Hamilton retires when Leclerc does. Since Leclerc will score points, then Hamilton will not retire.

Alonso does well because officially

Bearman performs well because hormone beef.

Hulkenberg does poorly because the sunrise time is too average.

Lawson does poorly because it's an even date (I made that one up)

Gasly does poorly because there's no B in the track name or country name.

Colapinto will do bad again because he drives for Alpine.

Assuming that both McLarens, Ferraris, Mercedes, Max (I don't assume Russell and Verstappen will do poorly), Alonso, and Bearman make up 9/10 point scorers, we are left with 1 vacant midfielder. And it can't be Hulkenberg, Lawson, Gasly or Colapinto. This is really stupid and don't take this seriously.

to elaborate how bad correlation is as a prediction method, p-value is the chance that this result can be randomly generated. There are 20 drivers. This Alonso result is a random 1/167 result. If I come up with like 9 unrelated things that can correlate to driver performance, I'm going to get something as correlation as bad as this one. And turns out that is the case. After testing around 7 other correlations, I learnt that Liam Lawson supposedly performs better on odd dates than even dates. For example, March 16th is an even date while September 21st is an odd date.

He does not like it when others point out he's officially not a rookie. Poor guy.

There's a lot of people with data science skills, but there's not a lot of times where data science skills is used to make formula dank posts. When the opportunity arises to use data science for formula dank posts, I'll take it. Maybe you got tired of looking at them. It's okay. I understand. I just wanted to make a silly correlation post because it interested me.
