The Cactuar Rating System

[Deleted member]

I think sheik is better than fox. how many cactaurs ia that worth?

Being incorrect isn't on the Cactuar Rating System. You however might be. lol

 

[Wolfy!]

I am so going to use this, lol.

 

[Kal]

The spelling "cactaur" is actually 6.4 Cactuars.

 

[McNinja]

How many Cactuars is Marth's grab range?

 

[Kal]

It's the sum of the number of Cactuars of Roy's grab range and the difference in length between Marth and Roy's respective swords, measured in meters.

 

[KrIsP!]

sooo...2.1

 

[Sacredtwin11]

Be careful guys

In Europe they use Leffens

Shouldn't it be Mikehaggers?

I'd rather decapitate my favorite pony plush than spread this horrible inside joke outside these forums

This post is approximately 1.5 Leffens Haggars

Forgive me master

Currently sitting at about i cactuars

 

[odinNJ]

Marths grab range = 3 cactuars + (falchion - sword of seals)

Aka: 5 cactuars

Inside jokes/understandings are what make us a community.

It's not an inside joke if someone makes a thread like "hey guys, let's start having this inside joke."

 

[Cactuar]

It sounds like a joke, but mow is legitimately trying to create a method for rating the level of "jank" any concept/strategy has by making me a basic unit of measurement. Unfortunately, people are stupid and are trying to rank the ridiculousness of concepts based on arbitrary feel of the concept on a scale of 0 to 8 rather than a realistic model which is:

0 = a concept that is sound and effective.
1 = a concept that is effective enough that it would be a staple in my own arsenal of usable techniques, yet not sound enough that it would be a universally accepted tech.
2.4 = a concept that is roughly even to my overall playstyle and persona, which is made up of a large number of various techs of varying levels of jankiness, but very few techs that are not sound on some level.
Values > 2.4 ranging up to 8 represent a decline in soundness and an increase in jankiness.

Or something.

This post is about 5 cactuars

 

[Life]

Is this scale exponential, logarithmic, linear, or what?

 

[RaphaelRobo]

All of the above.

 

[odinNJ]

I see it operating as cactuars = (2^x) - 1 where x is number of jank statements in the post divided by the number of non jank statements.

 

[Kal]

That forces 0 < x < log_2(9), which seems a little contrived to me. The maximum number of Cactuars is 8 because of advanced mathematical concepts. Setting C(x) = 2^x - 1 is just nonsense.

 

[RaphaelRobo]

I always thought it would look kind of like (-1)/(x-8). Except not really, because I think it would rise more quickly than that.

 

[hungrybox]

Cactuar is the integral of jank

 

[RaphaelRobo]

So jank is Cactuar's rate of change? And the jankier something is, the more he changes?

Wow, Brawl must have caused him to change a lot.

 

[Deleted member]

linear scale is...linear.

jigglypuff's "air control" is a potent 4.3 cactuars.

 

[big sleep]

the op is op

 

[Vudujin]

If I had a Cactuar for every brain you don't have; I'd have 1 Cactuar.

Best post ever.

A player's first move in a match is jump about 90% of the time.

Before the announcer could finish saying go, I misfired into a jumping fox.

That's about 5 cactuars right there.

 

[Krynxe]

^ Happened to me before haha

My friend Slow, who mains luigi and is like my only source of frequent practice, edgeguarded me while I was offstage as puff with a misfire. If he did a regular green missile I would have gotten a free gimp, and if he missed he would have killed himself off the side, but he got me dead on and recovered.

I can't tell if this scenario is approaching 8 cactuars for how jank it was, or 0 cactuars for how awesome it was.

 

[The Star King]

^That's the greatest thing I've heard

0 Cactuars

 

[Cummings]

How many Cactuars is losing a pools match because you fell through PokeStadium?

 

[hungrybox]

my first move is grab

/revealed

None, it just sends you into a new dimension of pissed off most people have never experienced in a video game.

 

[KingofCereal]

The math equations determining the formula for Cactuars is probably the nerdiest thing I've ever seen. That being said it is 0 cactuars because it is technically sound (just hilarious and pointless). I think I need to up my play style 1 or 2 cactuars.

Lol agreed. I laugh when I read these proposed formulas. Being a math major, I find them extra entertaining haha

 

[Nø Ca$h]

Cactuar is too mainstream

 

[hungrybox]

Me running into Mike the Situation at the airport:

3.0 cactuars

 

[Jockmaster]

The swype function on my phone finally recognizes "cactuar" and "cactuars"...this is a sign

mycatgoesmow: i'll tell jason that he's being mean by not talking to you
Kevin: LMAO
Kevin: thats messed up
mycatgoesmow: he'll feel bad and call you or something
mycatgoesmow: he does that
mycatgoesmow: LOL
Kevin: hes talked to me a lot lately
Kevin: yeah he does
Kevin: its odd
mycatgoesmow: m2k has such good manners
mycatgoesmow: m2k being mean is almost 4 whole cactuars
Kevin: LMAO
mycatgoesmow: almost
Kevin: i love the cactuar scale
Kevin: he keeps asking me about it
Kevin: cactuar i mean
Kevin: hes like i wanna know how this happened
Kevin: hahahahaa
mycatgoesmow: i saw something the other day that was a strong 6
Kevin: word
mycatgoesmow: interested?
Kevin: yes
mycatgoesmow: it's a short video
mycatgoesmow: lemme find it
Kevin: aight
mycatgoesmow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_iOegJJsJs&t=3m
mycatgoesmow: just that race
Kevin: LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Kevin: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
Kevin: this is obscene
Kevin: mega cactuars
Kevin: in here
mycatgoesmow: lap 3 is like
mycatgoesmow: ....
mycatgoesmow: ???
mycatgoesmow: > 6 cactuars
mycatgoesmow: LOL
Kevin: OH WTF
Kevin: LAP 3
Kevin: LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

umbreon owing me 10 dollars is 3 cactuars

 

[Deleted member]

umbreon owing me 10 dollars is 3 cactuars

i owe you money? since when?

 

[Mahone]

I can dig up the post if you want, but basically after the pr tourney you bet me $10 chillin would **** me the next time we played
and he didnt so u owe me $10

 

[Cactuar]

Mahone, keep your petty nonsense to private messages.

 

[Kal]

Mew2King owes me $2. So does Azen, but Azen didn't whine the whole car ride and beg for ibuprofen, so I only expect M2K to pay up. Mathematical consensus is that this is (0 + 8)/2 = 4 Cactuars.
