SaltyBet's Dream Cast Casino Thread 2 - Always bet on DBZ

I'm probably hundreds of minutes late to the post on this, but did anyone wind up blowing a huge amount of money (all in for me) on a fake Tensi vs God Rugal (non-CvS version at that)? I was fucking HYPE seeing that I'd make something like 300K on a sure bet wondering why no one was betting Tensi and then the match happened...

;___;

I lost 5 grand on Prinny vs the big sprite Vegeta. Prinny more or less had it each time, but it turns out that throwing Prinny in MUGEN is the same as throwing a Prinny in Disgaea. He explodes and dies.

:(

Please don't tell me I was the only one that saw that Prinny vs. Vegeta upset just now.

(I am so lucky I backed out of going all in on Prinny at the last second)

I figured he had it the moment he summoned reinforcements so I was shocked when Vegeta blasted through all of them.

EDIT: @Frantic: Like someone said before, never go all in on a DBZ match.

Holy crap, who in the world programmed the Burst Guilty Gear characters? Non-Burst GG characters are essentially punching bags, while the Burst ones are programmed to do the hardest FRC combos available (which often leads to a bodied opponent).

Wasn't all in, but it still hurts. I've got 36k left.

I've lost 20k since last Shaker's classic. Half of it was lost on Bulleta vs Hoshi-Kage. Bulleta ain't Hood, I learned that much.

It wasn't Darth Maul or Darth Vader that defeated Tenma-sama... but C3P0 and R2D2.

Why didn't I bet more on them?! D:
100 turned into 4.4k. Really wish I dropped a grand like I was thinking about... >_<

Wish I remembered that they had mexihealth/damage/everything.

Still, Tenma did real good. Also can't believe that they made this character, she's like mentioned in an extras book that most people have never read before, and they have a full character + sprite and everything. Props to whoever made her.

Note to self: Mouri Motonari is super legit.

Seems Sengoku Basara characters are either super shit(anyone catch Oichi vs Pikachu earlier? So bad) or really good.

Ugh, if there is something I don't like of the new additions is that they added way too many "Radditz SSJ4": potato AI + impossibly high HP + stupidly high damage.

Even legit characters have issues against these potatoes since they only need 1 "opening" and the battle is over. (And thanks to their stupid Health, it's going to happen)

Thank you "Burst" Venom. Alien Queen is a fraud!

Edit: I almost went all in on missingno, but then I remembered 'Ten is good, isn't she?' and promptly switched my bet to her... but only bet 100.

I keep making good betting decisions, but not putting enough money down on them. :/

What the heck just happened. I log in to SaltyBets to see Orochi sliced in half by some buddha in ghetto clothing (I think it was Ikyuu) and squirting blood for like about a minute

Holy fuck seriously? Thanks for the tip.
It also includes 'cinematic' supers, so Prinny has quite a few bad matchups. He's really good, otherwise.

Edit: Why did I bet on Bleach. Saw DS version of Ichigo and thought 'maybe he'll be good!' Pfft. He's as bad as his manga.

That final round clutch from Clara vs Kuando might be the single best clutch moment I've seen in the two or so months I've been watching SaltyBets. Get ate'd old dude.

Damn, I went to do something and missed it, I hope someone uploads it.

Why did I bet Melty vs legit Touhou? Even more pressing, why did Akiha give up so fast when she had Yukari SWR in all three rounds..?

I really hate Team Remisen btw.

They are a funny bunch, but extremely dumb at times. For example, sometimes one of them stays fighting at >20% health vs someone who would take that amount on a single attack.

At the same time, their character switching really screws up some legit characters. From what I have seen, Reisen is pretty consistent in the way she makes them do really stupid crap.

Edit:

SOVIET DAMAGE, is something I'll start using.
 
I hate nothing more than a fake whatever getting insanely skewed bets, and then clutching out a round five win and preserving the rich people's mistake money anyway. It happens so often.

BASED ARMOR JACK

Broke my first 5k ;D

EDIT: I forgive you for losing all my money before (he was the reason for my small fit a few pages back lol)

Damn it, Not even based Kira can kill those creeps. She was kinda close, but not enough... maybe Neptune can do it.

I have to say that it was predictable, but It would have been nice to see one of those things defeated by a legit character.

And yeah, I still can't believe people put that thing as an underdog.

It's becoming increasingly common, I wonder if salty touched something.

See: Heika nearly defeating a Vega in a crazy upset, and then as usual, as soon as the favored guy is 0-2 their AI suddenly turns on and the underdog's turns off for the next two rounds, followed by a close fifth round where the favored one wins.

This has been happening a lot lately, to the point where I'm honestly wondering if there is some kind of AI balance thing happening here.

Oh yeah like I said, a few days back there was a gigantic Armor Jack upset vs. some OP DBZ character (you might recognize the table flip last page), it was something like 2 million for Armor Jack. Of course, nobody knew that the DBZ was broke as fuck but Armor Jack losing 3-0? Eh. That, with Kira owning all day today was what caused those ridiculous odds.

After the Wario vs Predator fight I'm starting to think the same thing. Predator won 2 rounds and then Wario's AI become a lot more aggressive.

An "AI balance" would be so incredibly hard to do. AI difficulty levels technically exist, but most characters don't actually support them, so in order for Salty to implement this kind of system, he would probably have to alter the AI of every single character.

Thus far, every one of Salty's edits has been either giving a character enormous health or enormous damage, which are about the simplest things you can do.

Kinda upset that I have yet to ride a dream train even once in the last few hours of me messing around while doing work on the side. =/

Kasumi Todo is going to be a problem, mark my words. She got in on Silversamurai and has grown ass woman damage.

Edit: I did mention that Chousoukube from Sengoku Basara is fucking legit as shit, right?

Motochika is crazy for a Basara.
Dat long ass combo
Dat wooden AT AT when he's almost fully leveled
And I think he even gets a specific animation where his fans come in and start cheering if he's got a long combo going lol
