Impact: I said close enough because Dreamland can be seen as a toss up I personally find DL a good falco stage. Whether or not Sheik can live to *insert stupid percent here*
Hence why I said 4-2 I wasn't including counter picks just the neutral stages.
In response to NeighborhoodP's statement that 60/40 is not **** or one-sided, you called him an idiot and proceeded to say that 60/40 is one-sided.
You also said in one sentence, that 60/40 is like 4/2, which was AFTER I had already corrected stated that 60/40 is 3/2.
How were you wrong? Your connotation of **** is a .2 per match lead. Most other people would consider **** to be getting 3-stocked, or just outright losing every match. 3/2 in a set of 5 means that whoever won that last match would win the whole set, so that is what one would consider a close game.
You also decided to change your mind and say, "It's a stretch." When something's a stretch, it's something that can happen, but isn't as likely as one would think. You however, tried to state concretely that it's **** by calling it simple.
Instead of just admitting that 4/2 is wrong, you say it's "close enough." Close enough to what, the simplified proportion that I already posted before you typed 4/2? The match-ups statistics already include all inherent advantages and disadvantages among the characters, thus using stages as your new reason was redundant.
FD, PS, and YS favor Falco. 3
BF and FoD favor Sheik. 2
Match-up ratio: 3/2
DL64 is a toss-up. What's a toss-up? In this case, it's a stage that both players would have a decent chance to win. However, it is of your personal opinion that DL64 is in Falco's favor. Nonetheless, a toss-up should not be automatically given to either character. 4/2 was not based on your personal opinion earlier, it was based solely on the 60/40 ratio which was the only source that you originally posted for your number.
In small sets, one win will make more of a difference than in larger sets. It is more likely for somebody to win by one match than with a larger sample size where spread can occur. Any slight bias will extremely hurt data in a small distribution more than in a larger one. What you did in essence, was multiply that .2 match advantage by 5.
If you want to get your point across, then stop changing what you're basing your arguments on, and don't insult somebody, then try to quickly retract your reason for doing so. You did say you were awake for 24 hours; I'll give you that, since most people are usually shutting down at that point, but you decided to stick by that 4/2 and gave a different reason for it.
I completely agree with you on the issue of advantages and disadvantages in a match between Falco and Sheik. I only disagreed with your original connotation of ****, and your incorrect simplification of an established ratio which you decided to stick to.
I do realize that match-up percentages are based on sets of nine, but there will probably never be a tournament that will have a "best 5 out of 9" set. I'm getting somewhat tired of this too, so I'll just end my post by saying that I agree based on my personal experience and other tournament results that 60/40 and 3/2 are for now true in sets of 9 or less.
