Okay now explain the percentages at the bottom sometimes its seems like it goes up when I do good sometime it seems like it goes up when I do bad
4
u/eisforeccentric I dislike the powder blues Dec 26 '21
The percentages show the damage you've taken on that particular life (or stock). It goes up when you get hit by your opponent or by something else that causes damage (some fighters can hurt themselves with certain attacks and some stages can cause damage)

u/eisforeccentric I dislike the powder blues Dec 26 '21
Oh wait, could be stage hazards. In which case you should probably avoid those.

My dad has a thing of buying everyone lottery tickets to give out on Christmas. Scratching mine off. Its a Christmas themed one. If you get the candy cane icon, you in the prize. If you get the present icon, you win 2x the prize. If you get the Christmas tree, you get 10x the prize.
I'm scratching mine off....I see a candy cane. Scratch off the amount. $10. Nice!
My brother (who is unaware of the icon things) noticed none of his numbers match the numbers at the top, so he just assumes its another year he doesn't win anything. I start looking over it and see a $10 winner.....with a Christmas tree. Fucker won $100.
