Shadowlink3: Any chance of getting some videos from that tournament? The results are so awesome that I would love to see any footage.

I searched that page for meta knight and got 388 results...unbelievable...
Edit: Make that 390, 2 were written as metaknight instead of meta knight >_>

On that note, PLEASE ONLY PROVIDE MAINS. I don't care if you randomly picked Captain Falcon f or a random game in your first round if you spent the rest of the tournament as Meta Knight.

Which are determined by relative weight, kill potential, recovery potential, attack ranges / startups / recoveries, susceptibility to chain grabs or infinities, and so on. :p

Oh, btw, I'm fine with Shaya distributing his program, because I don't really care if people want to get their own information or not.

I pity the person who doesn't have a computer program to automaticly calculate results. I know I do.
Click to expand...
Isn't it just a while loop till the end of file and taking the expressions in paranthesis and using comparisons statements that increment character specific variable? Then displaying that variable?

And for a bit more complexity, reading the statements for tournament size and then having a function for point distribution? Doesn't sound that hard to me, just incredibly repetitive/boring.

Tournaments are based on popularity or certain palyers. Warios good results are based on 3 players: Futile, Reflex and DMG. He is #3 because of that. Therefore he must be a better character than KingDedede, Falco and Mr. Game and Watch, rith?
Click to expand...
Seriously, I saw that Wario was #3 and I even though I main him I had to do a double take. Seemed almost surreal to have a higher score than Dedede, Watch, etc. I honestly don't know how he got that high, are there some Wario players out there I'm not aware of? lol.

Some people are overly protective of their work, maybe. Shaya was probably just trying to be polite or something in case I didn't like it.

By the way, I'm copyrighting all the data that I'm collecting from public access threads on Smashboards and AllisBrawl.:laugh:

Yeah, it's almost like a professor copyrighting his lectures that involve him reading from a textbook word-for-word that he didn't write. lol

Be aware of things that could throw off results.
Such as Ankoku's silly list having a top 8 name with parenthesis "(" or ")".
In such a case the person should not acquire any points for anything.

You need two folders, an "in" folder and an "out" folder, within the directory that both the programs are loaded in.

The main function takes in a number, that is referring to how many months back (from 'today') would you like to tabulate results. Ankoku officially has this at 2.

Each "in" file is required for each month. The file name for this month would be Oct 08.txt

The in month file needs to have the first line specifying how many tournaments are being calculated. The results Ankoku post in his list should be all thats needed

i.e. "Oct 08.txt" within the in directory:
18

TOURNAMENT: Play-N-Trade
LINK: http://allisbrawl.com/ttournament.aspx?id=2760
DATE: October 4th, 2008
LOCALE: Atlantic North
ENTRANTS: 16
ENTRY: $10.00
1 NES n00b (Meta Knight/Luigi)
2 Poser (Kirby/Donkey Kong)
3 Moop (Wolf)
4 Chase (Ike)
5 Collin (Wolf)
6 Max (Link)
7 Rawr (Mr. Game & Watch/Olimar)
8 Edge (Link)
Click to expand...
Of course the number there is 18, but if thats all thats there it should just be '1'.

Also infernovia, don't talk like you know anything. The reason there are PROGRAMS in this world is to do repetitive/boring actions at extremely fast speeds. You obviously have no grasp or concept of the subject.

And finally, the final list covering joost Ooctubar. Which now is at 30 tournaments.
P.S. Ankoku. I presume TOURNAMENT: SoVa PRESENTS: BRAWL SINGLES AND DOUBLES! is $10.00 Entry, not $10.00 Payout.

Shaya, think about it. Payout = Entry Fee * Number of Entrants. The difference being, sometimes people enter a convention or a whole group of tournaments for a single universal entry fee so payout is more relevant than the initial entry fee (which tends to be something ridiculous if it's supposed to pay for Brawl Singles, Brawl Doubles, Melee Singles, Melee Doubles, Street Fighter 3rd Strike, and competitive Pokémon or something to that effect).

			System.exit(-1);
		}
lol. Nice catch-all condition.

Anyway, I see what the big deal is now. For some reason you decided to ALWAYS look for both entry fee and entrant count, when all I was ever interested in was total payout. But sometimes people don't record the total payout and it's easy enough to glean the entry fee from original tournament threads.

Interesting information:

Meta Knight's rise of domination has been constant.
Going from June onwards, MK's total point holding as a percentage has only continued to grow:

June: 13.69% [Snake first at 17.94%] - July 20.06% - August 24.13% - September 26.49% - October 27.54%

All time shows Meta Knight at an averaged 21.54% dominance. So like for every top 8 there is at least 1.5 MKs. But now it's well over 2 MKs per top 8.

-doesn't expect this to be counted and just wanted to show how strange it was-

I don't have the link cuz they didn't advertise it on smashboards, but yeah... This was the funniest tourney I've been to in a while. Everyone went by their first names for some reason.
-17 peeps
a Play n Trade tourney

1:DanGR (Olimar, MK*)
2:Sam (Olimar)
3:??? (ZSS)
3:Trent (Olimar)
5:??? (ZSS)
5:??? (Link)
7:John (Pikachu)
7:Nathan (Marth)

*- I used some MK, but just to make some of the matches go by faster, lol. In other words, I could have beaten the peeps I used MK against with Olimar.

that's not why he used MK, he used MK because MK is less stressful on a laggy HiDef tv then Olimar (who gives you pounds of landing lag if you don't do his aerials just right and requires pivot grabbing)
