A couple months back, I was sick and bedridden...but that didn't stop me from having some SSBM code running behind the scenes! I had the random thought to get Peach turnip/item "field test" pull percentages and to compare them to theoretical values.

I used the 20XX Hack Pack spam input feature, a set of codes to count and display the pull item type, and sped the game up 3x to get fast, and automated results.

I do realize Magus already uncovered the pull percentages. I just wanted to do this for fun :)

HOURS of data later, here are the results. I'll leave the statistic calculations to you Peach mains.

Code:

One question I have is how RNG affects turnips. It is amazing how little real experimentation has been done with this topic, mostly everything is just rumors. What affects a turnip pull:
Color
Stage
Port
Imputs
Stage position
Melee vs 20XX
Wii vs GameCube
Do these things affect turnips pulls?

And the biggest question, is there a turnip cycle? Every 4000 frames or so does some cycle just start over or what? What variables go into the number genrator? How chaotic is it? We know it can be manipulated at TAS but what about real time? If there is a cycle, I thought of a method for manipulating a pull real time

I sadly don't have near the know how to attempt this :/ I've pmed a variety of people who did research on turnips way back when but none responded. Any one who would be willing to try to figure all this stuff out would be a hero to us peach mains.
