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

God, that anime girl vs werewolf upset! I bet just $1 on her and got $12 for my troubles!

Also, it looks like this Son Goku is the only one that is farily well built rather than just having OHKO moves and near limitless HP.

So Tessa went down a round against Sagat MB-02, then in the remaining rounds, it looked like she parried literally everything he dished out.

Salty just answered a bunch of questions in the /vg/ thread here. Too lazy to paste them all over, but the thread should stay up a while so no reason to bother.

From the 4chan thread

Salty's responses are the non-quoted blocks of text

Three questions if you don't mind
>do you care about us sharing pastebins with the ratios?
>can you make the music a tad more quiet and the ingame sounds a tad louder?
>You a 4chan regular?


1. One is already posted here. Take them lightly, though, some of these characters have really Overpowered supers but never use them.
2. It seems fine right now. The problem is the variable of certain songs and characters volume.
3. Not very often, but I pop by /v/ and /vg/ to check if there's any threads about Saltybet.
If you're the real deal get it together? Playing with my money is like playing with my emotions

Sorry. I'm really dissapointed that I've had to push back the Shaker Classic until Saturday. I've been working hard but It's clearing up. Just Ctrl+F5 for now. It should give you enough time to place your bet if you do it whenever the characters are first revealed.

Right right.

We had a bump limit thread on /v/ earlier in the day and some chat to go with it, some people were wondering about the sustainability/longterm health of the system

Basically what seems to happen now is that odds are incredibly stacked most of the time. Have you considered changing it to a system where the odds depend on how many people bet on a character instead of the amount they bet?

Not sure whether that would solve it to be honest as I might not be thinking ahead far enough here.

It just seems as if with each day and with the top guys getting richer and richer it'd progressively become worse with the odds.
When you have like 2k, go all in and only make 10 bucks out of that even though the "actual" odds are nowhere near that crazy it's nuts.

It's a difficult system to work out. I think the way it works now is preferable in that salt miners and some of the high rollers with money to throw around bet on the underdogs, and the middle class and timid folk vote on the guaranteed winners. Of course whenever you get a character like Radish, Rare Akuma or Silversamurai you're going to get stacked odds because it's very unlikely that anyone will want to bet against these characters.

I want to make this clear for everyone since I've seen this pop up a lot recently: The odds of the match are not based on the amount of money bet on either side. Underdogs still have the capacity to win often, as I'm sure people like Rustbucket and Rony have learned.

I say you should leave a lag for when the odds pop up. They shouldn't appear until after the 1st round is over.

This would help with the "ODDS" spam at the start of each match and it would add more suspense.

The whole odds being visible thing works a lot better when the site isn't bricking like this.

You probably won't tell, but how rich are you now thanks to saltybet?
Gotta hand it to you the idea is awesome.
All I can tell you is a lot of people are desperate to get out of the salt mines. That 666 bonus helps a lot.

Is there a way you can make the music mutable but leave the sound effects on? and vice-versa?

Not for the user. I'm streaming the matches via twitch. I could turn it on and off via Mugen on my end but I want the stream to stay consistent in line with it being on 24/7.

well i meant would you add even more broken characters than what the current roster holds? the ones i listed would one-shot characters that would one-shot rare akuma.

There are too many OP characters at the moment, as you can see by the odds in a ton of these matches. There's a bad OP to gimped ratio at the moment and I want to add a few more low/mid-tier characters to get some more real matches going on.



---


The stream has increased in popularity recently so I have a ton of these entries to go through between Songs and Characters. I'll keep my eye out. Understand thought that I can't just add your characters because we're talking one on one here, I have to give all the characters a fair chance. I just added some more characters and songs to keep you guys sharp during yesterdays maintenance, though. So stay sharp.

I'll be answering one more "batch" of questions before I work on the caching issue a bit more. I'm sure people are getting salty over it as we speak.

I had better go. Have to get the site in tip top shape for the Shaker Classic. Lots of peoples firsts with people coming in thanks to TBFP, Kotak, MTV, GAF, Rediit, Fpunch, and here. Thanks you guys, stay salty, and remember to always bet DBZ. <3

Note to self: Lizardman is real.

EDIT: For those who didn't know, if Onslaught loses a round, he goes into his second form for the next round.

It's funny, I saw Lizardman's debut match and wrote him off as a crap character because his AI wasn't very good and he lost to some DBZ.

what I didn't realize is he has absolutely crazy damage and he must have been fighting someone with ridiculously high health. Almost cost me a ton of money later.

People don't know how to spot fake Geese.

Still bet low 'cause I wasn't sure if that dummy could pull it off.
 
Too bad the site isn't running as well as it used to. In past versions, the change to my terrible snap bet on Geese I made totally would have went through. Oh well.
 
I've seen Onslaught lose a whole match 3-0 and not transform. Is there a new one or duplicates?

There are 2 onslaughts. The Real one glows and has fire in its hand during the betting screen. The fake one does not. Keep in mind that fake onslaught is still fairly strong, but it does not have the absolutely ridiculous shit that the real one does.

There's a fake Onslaught who does a lot of damage like real Onslaught but doesn't transform and has pretty bad AI. That's the fake Onslaught you probably saw.

Real Onslaught transforms into his second form when he loses the first round, just like in the first Marvel vs Capcom.

To tell the difference between them, the real Onslaught has flames coming from his hand, the fake doesn't. Fake's still pretty good though.

Edit: Damn, ninja'd
