For those who haven't heard of saltybet.com, it's essentially betting fake currency on random AI-controlled MUGEN matchups.

No real money is involved, you just go there, see the newest random matchup, and try to guess which one will win. Entire thing is 24/7. It's pretty goddamn amazing.

Salty is urban slang from at least over decade ago, as I recall hearing it in school. Unfortunately, it's one of those words I can use in a sentence but not really define. I'm sure there are people out there that can explain it better than I can.

Been collecting more screencaps.

Funny things about Saltybet: Sometimes the entertainment value's coming from how dumb the matchup is. But there are also times where you're unironically hyped to see a matchup play out. There's a character for ____! And he/she/it is AWESOME!

Another sterling example of Saltybet being both marvelously stupid and strangely compelling. It's sprite homer vs. some absurd 3D poser model of a hyper-musculuar bodybuilder. But the muscleman is favored in the betting by a factor of 7 to 1 and turns out to have this whole collection of brutal moves emphasizing absurd physical power. Only 'Homero' actually has a really robust AI as well and the fight goes a full five rounds and...

Being smaller is actually an advantage: it means your hurtbox is smaller, often to the point most AI's won't be able to hit them at all.

Some general tips for Saltybetting:

1.) There are only three or four truly "real" DBZ characters. You'll know them when you see them. Otherwise, betting DBZ is a crapshoot.
2.) "Pixels" (aka 8-bit-looking characters) are often good characters. Same goes for the GBA-style Castlevania characters -- those motherfuckers know how to wipe the floor with the blood of their foes.
3.) Waifus are not always safe bets. You'll have to watch for a while to get a feel for who the good waifus are.
4.) When it comes to the "God tier" characters (Dark Donald, Rare Akuma, DUANE, and so on), don't even bother betting unless you're in the Top 20; otherwise, it's HOLLA HOLLA GET A FREE DOLLAR time.
5.) Most of the "MK2" Mortal Kombat characters are real. Doesn't always make 'em a safe bet, but it does make them worth betting on if they look like the favorite. Same goes for "16-bit" Gundams (aka Gundams from the SNES Gundam Wing fighting game).
6.) Don't judge a character because of their size. Big characters can be fucking potatoes and small characters can whomp all kinds of ass before you can blink.
7.) Never go all in, no matter how sure you are of a bet. Even the Gods can be beaten; I saw the nigh-unbeatable Duane lose during the weekly Shaker Classic a couple of weeks ago. I repeat: NEVER go all in.
8.) DUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDU

This depends on how much money you have. When you've barely got any money (below 500/1000) then going all-in might be a good idea, I think.

That mike is such a trap. He often can't figure out how to hit the fighters in his tier.
