Shulk is best anime swordsman. He's really feeling it.

The Smash Wiki page on Conquest Mode (which was woefully stubby) led me to an interesting page on sandbagging...

A strange concept. Playing bad so people don't know how you really play?

I wonder if people would be using that in any of the online modes.

[up][up][up] So my plan to have a few characters who I usually play as for fun and then one or two characters I chose when I get serious has a fandom name? Neat.

If it's the same guy from the reveal trailer then I found his voice to be extremely stupid.

It's much better in Xenoblade, trust me. Besides, it's the same VA, anyway.

... Hmm.

The Hard Knuckle has some weird properties, yo. It has enough recoil to slow Mega Man's fall when he's firing it off,to the point of it being possible to land a hit on a short hop- I can see it becoming an important tool in his belt, since a Meteor Smash on a grounded opponent forces them into the air.

There've been other Nintendo villains who've done heinous things. On the subject of parent killing, there's Andross (and Pigma, by extension)

And let's not forget all the stuff Mother 3's King P, and Fassad, are responsible for.

Sandbagging has been fighting game community lingo since forever I think. It means their holding back for any reason, though the main reason is, of course, disrespect.

Wasn't it mentioned that Conquest Mode won't count matches where a player is doing exceptionally badly?

[up] Yup. This is to avoid people throwing matches to the benefit of the other team.

So, how does the game determine if the other team is throwing the match, or if they're just that terrible?

#58621: Sep 22nd 2014 at 8:53:22 AM

but if a match is going badly couldnt one player then decide to play really really badly to get it considered null?

Constant Self-destructs would be one way or going out of their way to not meet the objective. Doing things like that will let the game know.

Likely it's aggregate data. They look at the patterns of losing players, and if there is a consistent pattern of behavior matching a high loss percentage, you start disregarding those matches.

#58624: Sep 22nd 2014 at 10:01:43 AM

It might just downright disregard matches that are too uneven, even though they claim to only disregard those where one player is apparently losing on purpose. No one likes being told that they're so bad at something they are treated as statistically insignificant, after all. But yeah, character-related stats like that only make sense if the players involved are of a comparable skill level. If a pro's just picking on some little kids, the result doesn't do much to reflect the actual characters' performance, either.
