Speaking of fake versions, are some characters named exactly the same? Or is that at least unique for each version?

Some are named exactly the same so the only way to differentiate between them is remembering their sprites. DBZ characters are very prone to this.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.



Also, it's a pretty unique feeling of shame to "accidentally" bet a lot on a bad version of a character and then have it displayed to the world that you and a couple of other idiots just wasted a bunch of fake bucks and are on the wrong end of 1:100 odds.


e: Nemesis actually almost won a match earlier, because he somehow managed to actually lang 2-3 hits per round which all did like 25% damage.

I won $11,000 earlier today off of a random upset, and I'm completely ashamed of how excited/happy I was after it happened.

Salty needs to do some housecleaning on the clones (and DBZ characters)

I dunno, I think not being able to pin down exactly which characters are always the best is part of the fun. This would get pretty boring if it only used "real" fighters since you'd inevitably memorize all of them after watching for a day or two. I've probably only watched for a total of like 6 hours and I already see repeats fairly often and have a general strategy for a lot of them.

Mind you, it usually doesn't matter because they might just end up getting one-shot by a full screen OHK super, but I imagine the problem would be even worse if there were way less characters/doubles.

Yeah, followed by the OHK superman magneto re-skin. Which was great because round 1 he got absolutely destroyed because he never landed a hit. Then swept the next three rounds in like 10 seconds.

I think if I were ever legitimately mad about anything saltybets related I would have to seriously re-assess my life.

Yeah it's kind of nuts. I've ragequit saltybets every time a bit upset screws me, but that's mostly because I usually don't feel like starting the grind all over again then and there. The idea that random characters fighting each other can actually upset some people is absolutely nuts.

Also I wish these idiots would stop already, I need to start betting and make my money back damnit.

Legitimate SaltyBet tip: don't go all in against a decent opponent, even if you're betting on a god-tier. Any character who's won a decent amount of games is capable of pulling an upset thanks to the AI and the inevitable randomness you sometimes get out of it.

There are like 3 completely safe characters, everyone else can lose given the right conditions. People got comfortable with "safe" bets because there were only a small amount of games so a lot of the bad/mediocre characters had terrible records. Now it's starting to even out a bit more, and even the OStans have a couple of wins here and there.

tl;dr - Never go all in, except on DBZs obviously.

I meant a link to the twitch video of the tournament. From what I remember it was just a timestamp in some massive, long file and I don't remember which day it was or what the timestamp was.
