even when you're in the air you can spam out a fair, or something
still useful lol
stab, sometimes people purposely don't fast fall a laser, like when you're trying to control space or intercept someone coming down from the air, so it's not always 100% to assume that (although you can see when he doesn't pretty easily)
i bet mango's jigglypuff would actually have a pretty close avg. apm to raynex, depending on the match
but it would be hard to figure out since he sometimes spams left and right in the air for spacing purposes

yeah uh we don't care, we're measuring the apm of melee and not anything else. trolling's against the rules fyi.
I just play really silently. lololol.
Naw seriously. I used to beat the **** out of my controllers until I paid attention to Ryoko playing Peach. He was pretty ridiculous as far as tech skill with Peach went for his time, and I could rarely hear his hands on his controller, and ever since then I've tried to play a lot softer. It's actually done wonders for my control and speed, because my hands don't recoil nearly as much from hitting the buttons.

Jman's APM
Way back in the thread Joe(plicate) requested Jman's APM for his match against Eggm. I was pretty bored so I decided to do it and it was actually pretty quick compared to others. Here's the match: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXYHSuuwBkw
One thing I'd like to mention is that Jman's moves like Cactus but Cactus moves like Cactus better.
But seriously, his APM would have been lower than this but there was a good 10 seconds that Eggm was literally between a rock and a hard place and Jman continually did Shine -> Shffl'd Nair

awesome lol, thanks
it looks like fox is usually 220-280 when they play, and around 300 when they're gettin off/spamming
edit: the 304 cactuar match got put on private
is there any way we could still see it?
or who was it vs, if you remember, etc

Yet again another poor representation of a players APM.

I'm really loving all the work you've done, stabbed. I'm really eager to see a non-high-tier character though. Maybe a Samus? Or Pikachu? Dr. Mario?

The cactuar match was him 4 stocking scar. Pretty sure the title was "Why cactuar doesn't have a combo video". I looked on Scar's channel and it wasn't there. =(
And idk how to do the APM of anyone but spacies so a Samus main or something has to step it up lol

i dont see how finding apms for matches in which the players arent necessarily trying to have high apms or do as much as they is interesting anymore. its not measuring how fast someone can be in melee just how fast theyre going when they arent trying to go fast, thats like measuring how high a jump is when the person is going for a lateral jump or something

Id have to agree, I want to be impressed with something hella high. But on the other hand theres nothing terribly wrong with just checking how fast players play during their matches.
So not how fast can they play, but how fast do smashers play during a match.

Because the goal of this topic is not to acquire a MAX APM. I was interested in discovering the average APM of a good smasher. I didn't really know what to expect before the initial tabulations were made. I would have still made this topic even if the APM was under 100. Sure, finding the highest APM could be exciting, and does have it's own value, but that was never the purpose. The purpose is to discover the realistic average APMs of pro smashers, and that's the way this topic will be conducted.
Alphicans
Smash Hero
Well nothing is realistic when you include **** 4 stocks in like 2 minutes in your average calculation.

working on some lower-tiers atm.

Thats very realistic for THAT player and others of that calibur.
I mean realistically, that person got 4 stocked in 2 minutes. The point is that, they werent trying to play as fast as they could for simple APM calculations. They had an opponent and their goal was to play smash with them in hopes of winning the match.
I believe thats the avg encounter scenario for this game so it counts for avgs.
A Pimp Named Slickback
Smash Lord
Statistically speaking, a match like Axe's 4-stock would be an outlier assuming the "average" game goes 4 minutes and each player down at 1 stock. So it shouldn't count towards the "average" APM of a game.
Alphicans
Smash Hero
You kidding me? Like nothing else to say to this other than that. Well ok I can always add on :\ lol. Basically with matches like that you're taking a top performance from one player, or a bottom performance from the other, either way you're taking a special example, and when it comes to things like this, special examples just won't do. To do this fairly you'd need an average from each player and take that average and put it into the calculation for the overall average (which would be derived from the process for every other player). Of course that's a very unrealistic and tedious thing to do, so to get around that it would be good to just use matches that aren't entirely one sided, because when a good player vs's another good player it shouldn't be total **** in one side.

I know Rock said we shouldn't be trying to figure out a max APM, but just so the Starcraft pros don't get all uppity, I thought this might be worth mentioning...

that'd be so hard to calculate because of the multiple jumps, the constantly changing DI, the continuous stream of aerials.
what a nightmare.

No more difficult than any other high or top tier character.

Thats a fair assumption, but with any data set, you will have high points and low points. As long as you dont have a bunch of matches representing high or low datum then you should have a very similar average that will not be skewed left or right.
Your solution is just take the middle ground when more accurate avg are actually calculated as a whole, including high and low points which come out to a middle.
IMO its best not to cut off the first and fourth quartiles because its possible for the highs to be more common or a better representation of the lows and that would increase the avg a little and should be more accurate and vica versa for the lows.
I guess I just dont see the problem with it statistically, seeing as how it was an actual match. I feel that an outlier would be something like Silent Wolfs tech skill vids where hes trying to break the bank, that doesnt show the avg anything of smash gameplay as a whole. Thats just a dude with **** fingers.
