HA HA. FINALLY. Figured out what my issue with my math stuff was. Turns out,
Sephiroth gave my math equations despair. Yes, really.
IDK if I explained how my equations worked, so... here's a TL;DR dumbed down version.
I take one Fighter's RGB Background value, put that in the bottom, and then put the proceeding Fighter's value on the top. I then do that for
every fighter in the game. I then take those values, and
add all of them up. However, I don't just add them all up and call it a day. I... basically graph the evolution of the sum. This ensures two things:
1.) The next number will always be positive.
2.)
It creates a trendline that I can then map to it to potentially predict the future sum. To which, I can then undo from there.
Now... this isn't some ground breaking thing nor proof we live in a simulation. This is just a trick, as there's technically no real mathematical relationship at all. I had to actually get the data in a form that could fit the trendline. Meaning there's still a decent margin of error...
which brings me too... ahem...
SEPHIROTH... DU DU DU DUDUDU... SEPHIROTH
So... turns out... Sephiroth's RGB values...
were pretty low. Usually, most values have about three digits in them. Most of Sephiroth's values were in the mid 60s and 70s afaik. This means that the next fighter (who would most likely be in the triple digits range, at least statistically), would make the next ratio big... and...
spike the value up.
And well...
that did happen. However, the Green value got hit the hardest. iirc, Sephiroth's green value was 50ish. While Pyra/Mythra's was
230. Which... 230/50... is yikes...
big. This actually explains why the last predicted colors I did for Pyra/Mythra (before their reveal) were
dark green. Believe it or not, R and B values were actually within an acceptable range...
but the green value was too low.
Very low.
If I would've known this quirk about Sephiroth at the time, I could probably done a trick where I calculated the colors for Fighter 82, but just interpreted that for Fighter 81.
Funny how Sephiroth messed things up. Still my favorite DLC this pass tho lol.
Of course, do note, these equations will not do you taxes, nor predict things 100%,
but I just found this thing quite hilarious.
Although... this does mean I should be getting my proper math predictions out there soon! So stay tuned!
