From what I have seen she only has 1 shot kills, so yeah she is a little bit broken.

There is also the other immortal Touhou that usually loses on round 1 and then brutally destroys anything before her for the rest of the match, looks like the AIs just can't deal with her.

Word on the street is that that one isn't literally immortal; she just has a specific number of extra life bars.

Bet $25000, win $30.

EDIT: That feel when your bet is >50% of the total money in the match.

We are the 1%.

Damn that Goku SSJ5 and its insane HP.

And also, it's impressive how strong those Yuyuko & Youmu are, they are actually 2 strong characters fighting at once... fair!

Man. I know this is all just essentially playing for a score, but with the players on the top with their massive amounts seems to be making it harder to get more than $1 on matchups that they have a large contribution in, almost making it more of a game on putting in on upsets.

Maybe I'm just salty from losing all my cash too, but between the talk of psxsquall botting (apparently at least one person already came up with a method) and Cherry being allowed to play too despite their contributions and the fact they made so much in the first place because of having essentially fixing fights by knowing more about the overpowered Touhou girls they'd submitted in the first place it makes the entire score system kind of incestuous and damages the sense of fairness, I guess. I suppose it's about time I quit!

To be frank the high rollers only make it hard to get earnings on the "sure thing" characters. There is a hell of a lot money to be made on plenty of near-equal matches, and massive upsets are happening constantly. Some of those high rollers are idiots and go all-in when the ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT DO SO.

Cherry is essentially someone that intimately knows most of the fighters in the game, and his wealth in fake internet money comes from understanding matchups (and he doesn't get it right all the time anyway). Besides, he's working for free; you think anyone is going to do work for free and not even be allowed to play?

Yeah, but the payoffs will get smaller and smaller as the inflation increases and larger losses become acceptable, I suppose this can easily turn into a good economics simulator of some kind. At least this has some scientific merit!

But regarding Cherry, I think it wouldn't be a problem if the situation wasn't at least touted around and made obvious to everyone. Keeping some degree of integrity to the pretend dollar system would really be a good thing.

As an example, on another online game I know of that shall remain nameless, when said game's ownership tried to make a move to acquire sole ownership of a massively popular player-created zone and all of its off-game assets such as the website and forums and its custom-made content, they at the very least went as far as planning out brand new aliases to put in charge of the damn thing, because they knew the player base would have thrown a fit if they realized what happened. Having Cherry make a huge pretend money payout and then talk about how he just tweaked the AIs like he was literally just doing is anti-integrity incarnate.

Is there an ETA for when betting will be back online?

What's funny is that once you get up to that level, the frustration of not being able to make enough cash on a match doesn't really go away. You can't play the odds anymore at that point. You have to dictate them instead, and going in big enough to rake in a substantial enough payout is always risky because you're just one random glitch away from losing it all.

One of the OS-tans (Xp?) beat Zero and pretty much got everyone who bet on her out of the mines

Dio Di Musca won against Etrigan and caused a lot of people off guard

There was a tied double KO at one point though I forgot for which match

The real Marvin came out for once and bodied

Lei lei clutched it out against Arthas

Ultimat Goku proved that he was Ultimat

Add this to the list:

First pick after betting maintenance is over is a blind pick with odds in favor for red. When the characters are revealed, it's Zeroko vs. Kohaku. Of course all of team red (myself included) got hype. It was even immediately justified when Zeroko rush punches for the OHKO the first two rounds. What happens next? Kohaku runs it back 2-3.

I can't even be mad. :lol

(Salty's waifu is a FRAUD.)

Note to self: Find an exhibition match for Tenma sama. Jesus that bitch is broken/MUGEN god level.

RIP in pieces RonyMarkes -> $7155525 (Σ$7155525).

But yeah, it's never conducive to bet it all once you're a millionaire. The odds are already bad enough, and once you throw in your million you're risking a large portion of your money over a thousand bucks.

But it's fake money and I want UPSETS AND SALT

Zero is literally a bag of shit. His AI just randomly sputters out and he will do nothing for three rounds. No bet is safe on Zero.

I managed to see that ssj4 radtiz in action earlier today, needless to say that was incredible to see the reactions, i heard people say he was good so wanted to see him, good thing his opponent was dio so i could easily bet on him

Only reason the odds were so one sided is that the other Felicia is terrible. The pocket fighter one is undefeated I'd say.

Working for me and I have seen only 1 pocket fighter defeated, outside of that fight, they are quite broken.

Someone put 10k on MrSatan vs Killer whale... I'm speechless.

1:35 upset, that sent a lot of people to the mines, and made a few rich. (I have been losing money all day, so I don't care that much)
