[Concluded] The RPG Tournament

[Red Blaster]

Omg. The comeback potential is off the charts.
This looks to get interesting.

[YoshL]

keep in mind that this means you can get luck...even after you've exhausted your luck chances....

a couple other things that are interesting -

The top 6 people with the top 6 stat count are all from different divisions

http://challonge.com/FFRPG for the current bracket....see what's going to happen...

[Red Blaster]

Placeholder.
So close to being D2 it hurts

[AutotelicBrown]

I'm quite sure you messed my score for round 9, the spreadsheet says I got:
1699-90-7-8-34-1430
When in fact it should be:
2537-90-7-8-34-1430

I'm also the only one that submitted for strength under the Berserker class (everyone else was AAladin). Using MyNameIsNothing's score as reference (for convenience to not require any calculation as it is the same song), which is considerably worse and under a harsher calculation (AAladin), I'd expect a larger gap between our strength gains.

I can't understand at all what the formula is supposed to be from this text, especially at the marked parts; can you please clarify.

I'd expect a more D&D-like mechanic where critical hits (at least natural 20s) automatically hit. Or Ragnarok Online that has a somewhat similar battle calculation to what you used but with the priority Lucky Dodge > Critical Hit > Hit/Flee Check.
This is blatantly biased, but I'd love to see this changed.

Inspirated by D&D 3.x mechanic where, when a critical roll would still be a miss against the oponent's AC, you garantee the hit but you need to reroll to check if the hit will be a critical or not.

So basically the idea would be, if you roll a critical and miss on the dex check, you get a normal hit.

tl;dr: how screwed I am with low dex and how likely it is to be saved by RNGesus.

[Guest15937]

This should suffice.

[ThunderFlip]

Dang Guest, you really are good at jacks, lol. I tried that file and got like 16g and 2 misses or some junk, lol.

Yay, new highest AAA. Ultra low arrow density saves the day!

this is why i kept backups of scores, fixing this now

low dex doesn't 100% fuck you over; 50% dodge rate is as high as you can go, you'll just have to pray to RNG sama, and try to go for good gains for this round lol

and i'm going to make very minor tweaks to the formula, but in general, that's how it's going to work.

[Red Blaster]

Just out of curiosity, seeing as everyone probably has their picks in by now; Could we have gone one stat on all 4?
Luck<Luck<Luck<Luck for example?
If so..I massively screwed up

[YoshL]

no. each stat can only be selected once lol

[xDarkDayz]

Well, at first I was going to try and get a 50+ AAA so i could be like pffft screw your 30+ marker, but after several failed attempts, this ...

Time: 1:46

Difficulty: 34

EDIT - Oh wow that rank jump though XD

[minhtam2448]

Here is my song selection (Difficulty: 33, Time: 2:19) and placeholder score. In theory, I could pick a different song, but I like the stepchart of this one, so I'm going to try to AAA this if I have time.

(EDIT: Improved from 11-0-0-4 to 2-0-0-0)

[storn42]

i'm not quite sure im understanding how round 10 songs work out. so we pick a song and order out stat choices that much i have down. so for sending in the score do we send in different scores for each stat or does it have to be 1 score for all stats. also, if its different scores for each stat may we change songs between stats.

You play 1 song, im pretty sure the way this works is like this:

If you have 200 str, 200 dex, 200 luk and 200 int, lets say you play your song and you make your picks like this:
STR
INT
DEX
LUK

Str will become 400 (100% bonus)
Int will become 350 (75% bonus)
Dex will become 300 (50% bonus)
Luk will become 250 (25% bonus)

Hope this helps

[YoshL]

not quite.

The first stat you pick is how i'm going to determine your stat gain, like every single other round.
This means your stat selection is not independant of all the other players. It's still the very same system, with extra bonuses.

Say you have that same spread, STR, INT, DEX< and LUK as your order. you get 200 STR with the stat calculation.

it's not a 100% bonus, but you recieve 100% of that stat. so in this example, you would receive

200 STR, 150 INT, 100 DEX, and 50 LUK

although because of this little confusion, I'm going to allow people to change their stat priorities for this round.

[ryuyasha]

Just to clarify, are you saying the people who have already submitted stat priority can change it once after that post? It almost sounds like you are implying more than that.

[Pizza69]

str > dex > luk > int

[TheSaxRunner05]

Re-SDG'd, if I ever AAA this easy'ish chart I hope it doesn't put me D5.

Seems overrated to me

i said that you can change your stat pick for this round, which should imply as many times as you want, but apparently i wasn't being clear about that

change your stat spread if you want, as many times as you want, for this round.
