why is murderous miko not reimu?
Julian Turner
sirs new years comic was pretty weak this year
but we cant blame him, he doesnt browse fit anymore
May not be a great image since it doesn't have her signature colors. I wanted to use the panel from the manga with her killing the fortune teller, but I was afraid it wouldn't show right at such a small resolution
Asher Myers
thought the ear frills were Ran ears in that grey/brown colouring in the thumbnail
i stand corrected
Jace Thompson
She wants donations
Caleb Watson
She relaxes once in a while
John Murphy
Reminder that Reimu killing the fortune teller was both her duty and a good thing for Gensokyo.
Luke Taylor
Her life is just fucking empty user Nobody visits her shrine Nobody ever gives donations except that one person who slips some in every now and then so Reimu doesn't fucking kill herself out of despair Cirno is insufferable Her temple is ramshackle She's called upon to solve the darnest fucking problems
Joseph Mitchell
The mangas show she's good friends with Marisa. She also hangs out with Kasen and Kosuzu a lot, though they aren't really her friends. She also has 3 cute fairies to beat up if she's bored.

Just finished reading the Winter script lads

Alright, just finished adding transparencies to most of the team's portraits.
How does it look now guys? Does it check out?
Luke Perez
How many points does /mlp/ win the final by?
John Edwards
they intentionally tank so they can use Spring to pad stats, and therefore don't play in the final

On related note, a list of non-teams in Winter, STILL lacking in even an attempt at portraits: >/adv/ >/an/ >/asp/ >/b/ >/e/ >/mu/ >/n/ >Veeky Forums >/out/ >/soc/ >/v/ >/vr/ >/w/ Come the fuck on now.
Brody Hughes
We're attempting. We have pictures. They're just not transparent and in the game.
Wyatt Moore
dunno about rating them all but of the ones I've seen so far /m/'s have definitely been the most impressive
Andrew Clark
im gay

>yfw testing desperately so that you don't fucking suck in Winter
soc got 9 points the last two cups without testing senpai earn the right to be elite bro also did I mention that I just got five chicks' digits typing this post out
Jonathan Flores
Post YFW you're listening to music and /yourteam/'s goalhorn starts playing
Eli Ortiz
me too thanks

If testing didn't matter why are some managers consistently good
Jaxon Clark
>set up tactic that will obviously counter other team >"this should be fine and it'll never concede to them besides any spaghetti" >lose 2-0 due to two spaghettis Well at least I can predict things
Nolan Bailey
Luck. There aren't more teams on hot streaks than would be expected in a random environment.
Julian Price
The cup is 50% tactics 50% luck If you run a setup that is hot garbage it'll get shit on for sure, but running an amazing tactic is still flawless due to the nature of the diceroll
The reason teams like Veeky Forums and /mlp/ become cup winners in recent years is because they have good tactics with managers that know what they are doing, but that can only get them so far You can't win a cup with bad tactics neither can you win a cup with bad luck, you need both
So testing matters to an extent to get those good tactics set up, but the rest is up to fate
I'm not testing much this cup so we can see the effects of that compared to previous cups
Brody Sanders
>this should be fine >doesn't score yeah I can't wait to play against your sorry ass
Xavier Mitchell
So testing does matter
Jace Bailey
so you ARE just too lazy to test, and making excuses.
Levi Barnes
No, I just don't care anymore
Gabriel Robinson
Suppose the cup is entirely random. This means that every team has a 1 in 60 chance of winning a given elite cup. Since in reality teams die for periods of time, let's say it's a consistent 1 in 48 (a full elite plus a full regular babby). This also means the probability of any team winning two stars is ((1/48)^2)*n*48 with n being the amount of cups ran. (probability of two stars for any individual team for the given number of cups multiplied back out across each team).
I want to see on average how it would take for a team to randomly win a second star, so I set this equal to 0.5. It comes out to 24 cups before you'd expect to see a second star more often than not.
We've seen not one but two teams do this within 11 elite cups, so either we're living out an outlier scenario or there are other factors in play (aka: it's not all random).

>or there are other factors in play (aka: it's not all random). Well yeah, one of the teams was cheating.
Camden Edwards
even ignoring the fact that /sp/ only played other df teams in situations where they'd already advanced, you're still saying that the outcome can be significantly influenced by human behavior.
Hudson Cook
if it was all random dragongate wouldn't have mattered
Thomas Wilson
Not to mention /wg/ and /m/ having two cup wins if you include babbies
Gabriel Baker
Your math is defective for a number of reasons. First, it's leaving out the fact that as the number of champions increases, the chance that there is a repeat increases. It might take "Team X" 24 cups on average to win twice, but that ignores what all the other teams are doing in the meantime. The time before you would expect ANY team to win a second cup is much lower than that. Second, the number of functional teams was much lower than 48 in the early cups. Third, given that you've won a cup you automatically start in the top 32 for the next cup.

You missed the part where I multiplied it back out by 48. >Second, the number of functional teams was much lower than 48 in the early cups. And much higher at points (it's 54 every time there's a megababby), so it evens out. >Third, given that you've won a cup you automatically start in the top 32 for the next cup. This is the one thing inaccurate about it, but over a long timeframe your starting position is essentially random between babby and elite so it becomes even for every team.

I don't understand what is good or bad anymore.

Okay, your math is right, but there's something wrong in the way you're thinking about it.
After 24 cups if you've had no repeats, the NEXT cup has a 50:50 chance of a repeat. Every cup after that will more likely than not have a repeat. But that doesn't mean that you were unlikely to have a repeat champion in ALL the cups before that.
cup 1: chance of a repeat champion: 0/48
cup 2: chance of a repeat champion: 1/48 = 2.08%
cup 3: chance of a repeat: 2/48 = 4.17%
cup 4: 3/48 = 6.25%
cup 5: 4/48 = 8.33%
cup 6: 5/48 = 10.42%
cup 7: 6/48 = 12.50%
cup 8: 7/48 = 14.58%
cup 9: 8/48 = 16.67%
cup 10 9/48 = 18.75%
cup 11 10/48 = 20.83%
So taking the inverse, the chance of having a new champion every time is (47/48)*(46/48)*(45/48)...*(30/48) = 28.94%
So after 11 cups there is only a 29% chance to have had no repeat champions. So we are more likely to have a repeat than not, and having a second is only mildly improbable (keep in mind no one ever argued PES is completely random, only largely).
