Rules being refined? It doesn’t make sense... why would you have a best of 3 and a round winner which ryukhar has not lost then add the complexity of individual course clears... so are they competing or individually playing? It seems like a hybrid that the creator of this series should possibly clear up in a future video... ryukhar should be leading but isn’t? Because he has less course clears... if it is used as a tie breaker then it makes sense otherwise it’s super confusing... you cheer for your team and when they win the best out of 3!

[@DeltaStorm27]

I have to disagree. It's really not that hard to understand. Play 3 rounds. You get a point for winning a set, and a bonus point for winning the match. The system helps reduce luck variance.

[@MrTiton536]

mrpoopball12 wrong ryu is undefeated in matches meanwhile ipk is ahead of him despite ryu easily beating him. It’s a system that is set up to cheat. They have been promoting ipk since the start. It’s a joke of a tournament. No one watches any matches except ryu

[@DeltaStorm27]

@@MrTiton536 "Easily beat"??? Ryu's match with IPK literally ended in overtime after the previous two were decided by 1 point. Both players are gods. I know Ryukahr is undefeated, but he hasn't been sweeping his matches. IPK has swept 4-0 every match except for his match with Ryu. That's why he's currently on top by 1 point.

[@MrTiton536]

mrpoopball12 sweeping a match is purely random it could even be said in fairness that beating someone is random except that they both had very even courses. Hence ryu should already be winning. If ryu ends the tournament having beating every player explain to me how it makes sense that he loses. It’s purely bias toward ipk I would bet every dollar that they would switch it if it was the other way around. I also enjoy ipk I don’t enjoy bias go watch there march and listen. If that’s not bias what is ?

[@Jonago]

16:30 Oof, "überspringen" actually means _skip_ in this case. Like "über" means "over", and "springen" means "jump". But together, it doesn't have to do anything with jumping :^)

[@staren1991]

But depending on language "jump over" literally means to skip :)

[@tobiashmm2322]

Ich überspringe ein Hindernis. Ist aber "jump over", so es war nicht falsch, nur nicht vollständig erklärt.

[@D3sdinova]

Yeah it does mean jump over, not over jump Or jumping over to be more precise actually

[@pleaserespond3984]

But "skip" literally means a kind of jump as well. Other languages also use more or less literal translations of "jump over" for "skip" (e.g. mine has both "jump over" and "let through").

[@shadowstep1375]

I'm not a huge fan that someone can win every match and still end up second while someone with a loss can be in 1st like this. I personally feel like there should be like a win streak bonus or something. Also I just want to throw this out there for people who may think I'm just a ryukahr fanboy, I'd feel the same way if the roles were reversed. Like imagine if say in a mk11 tournament sonicfox won every match but still lost because the guy in second got more 3-0s than him.

[@Ssssssnakeisone]

It helps to think of the entire league season as one game. No-one has "won the game", and "wins" are just another way to track performance, like rbi, field goal %, etc.

[@SpeedrunEvents]

We are looking into better formats for season 3, MM1 definitely had better/more possibilities for league formats

[@shadowstep1375]

@@SpeedrunEvents If I may make a suggestion. You could set a marker, say 10 clears. And make it a race, first to 10 clears wins the match. I don't know I wasnt expecting get a reply from you. So I figured I'd try to offer something that could work but it may also not. I'm not completely sure what you're wanting this to be. Either way, I still enjoy watching the competitors play so I'm going to continue watching.

[@Gradeus]

The thing is, a league is different than a tournament, it's not just directly competing against a single opponent, it's competing against the entire rest of the field (hence the round robin guaranteed matches). In this, you value consistently dominating over scraping by and holding a lucky win. Then afterwards, you can hold a bracket with seeding based on league season results. And most normal competitions don't have a random element involved, say with sports or traditional fighting games, so wins would generally be valued higher since it's pure skill based. Take soccer seasons, 3 pts for win, 1 pt for draw. But with randomness, you place emphasis on consistency as well, so the bonus point for a sweep at least makes sense.

[@shadowstep1375]

@@Gradeus I understand but I personally don't like the format, which is fine. As I said I'm going to continue watching because I enjoy watching competitors play. If they change it cool if they don't fine I don't care all that much. I personally like wins meaning more than how well one does in a match. Especially considering the randomness of the game itself. You can be the best smm player in the world and still lose a round because your opponent got better stages than you or vice versa. It's flawed is all I'm saying. That's why I prefer wins meaning more than points.

Yes, "überspringen" does sort of mean jump over, but you would normally translate it to skip

it is translated 'skip' to English... i don't know what that guy in chat was smoking but he can better contact his dealer bcs it's some bad shiet, he translated it to literally über = over , springen = jump… überspringen = Overslaan in Dutch and Overslaan translated to english is Skip so ...

Because of stupid tournament rules that exist in lots of sports and competitions. It makes zero sense and makes it a lot less enjoyable, but oh well

[@derekstanyer]

The scoring system is used in a lot of sports competitions. It makes a lot of sense. Those who are bashing it without thought clearly haven't thought it through (not saying op is one of these). ipk has won more overall sets than Ryu, even though Ryu has beaten more people overall. Do you think there should be the same amount of points whether you win 2 to 1 or 3 to 0? Because then you have a whole other set of people complaining about something else. This way makes every single set just as important, regardless if you have won the match already or not.

[@thechugg4372]

@@derekstanyer A better way to balance this is not even have sets of three in the first place

[@jdotoz]

@@derekstanyer You say it's like this in a lot of sports, but which? In which sport can you win every match and come up second to a team or player you beat? Most sports I'm aware of are concerned with wins and ties first, and consider game or match scores only as a tiebreaker. The only way this makes sense is if the "match" isn't actually the unit of competition here. But if that's the case they shouldn't talk about Ryu being undefeated, because I have seen him lose several games within matches. On the other hand, if they are treating each 15-minute round as its own match, it doesn't make sense to award a bonus point for a series sweep - the points earned from three wins should be enough. I can't think of a league that awards bonus points just for sweeping an opponent over and above the gains you make by winning the games. If you take three out of three in an MLB home stand, you get credit for three wins, not four. If the Jets beat the Dolphins twice this season, they get credit for two wins. An EPL team earns three points per win whether they win 1-0 or 1000-0. So what sport does what they are doing here?

I felt like Ryukahr was rather overly skip happy. After investing time getting like 3/4s a way through a level, skipping it does not seem like the right call to be if you take the clear time into account. Like that star run level or the level he was killed by the rising lava which I bet was almost over anyway.

[@Twitchi]

I bet that's exactly the mindset that got Dansta his round 2, In these short format rounds.. you gotta skip

[@duiduelist5449]

@@Twitchi Dansta was killed by difficulty rather than length or anything. Ryukahr could easily correct the deaths instead of skipping them. Like the rising lava level was right at the end I bet. The skips is what resulted in Ryukhar having such a low clear rate game 1.

Ryu has won every set, but not every round, which means he had several 3-pointers. iiPK is more dominant in matches overall, although had he won vs. Ryu that would have been his first 3-pointer.

Because they want ipk to win. Go watch ryu Vs ipk. It’s very clear that this entire tournament was set up by them to promote him. Meanwhile ryu beats him but is somehow not in first place

@@MrTiton536 Oh damn, I was prepared to give you the benefit of doubt on your other comment, but this is just dumb. There are no referee calls, no opportunity to throw points, no factors but the player's skill and rng. If iiPK wins the league, it's because he earned it, same for anyone else.

Not enough matches to use Elo system properly. Also, your anti-ipk bias is showing. This isn't a fighting game or a sport, there's a high degree of randomness, which consistency becomes much more important. Scraping by with rng wins is less impressive than consistently dominating opponents. Someone like Thab is on top because he's dominant and consistent. Ryu can get wins but he consistently struggles in doing so, which is why he keeps losing out on that bonus point and falls into second place.

@@Gradeus Nice to see someone else speaking up for rationality out here. Ryu fanboys are hittin' it hard on every video nowadays.

[@MrTiton536]

Gradeus you are beyond silly all of this would be fine if it didn’t come down to head to head no points anyway which is the second round lol. Making all that nonsense you just spoke null and void. Ryu already beat everyone head to head so did thab so they are going into the second half which is head to head undefeated against players they already beat. No other tournament works this way it’s dumb. It’s designed to prolong the tournament nothing more.

What would happen in a tiebreaker if both players had 1 life left and decided to pause it before they died?
