So is there only bragging rights awarded to who wins? Or are we going to bet something? Choose wisely, grasshopper.

I can't decide who to vote for: I like both BP and Mr Melee equally!

I think the conditions of the third match should be something fun, like a 99 stock (or some high number, incase you want to make a video of this one too) match, with damage set to 300%, and some kind of weird option, like you can only throw Bob-ombs at your opponent (I know this would make setting the damage high un-neccesary).
Kinopio is the ultimate video game character! Who else can drive a kart, host parties, play tennis, give good advice and items, and is almost always happy??

This is officially the lame and non-epic brawl.

Wow...this is a totally awesome. I can't wait to see who wins!

I did a little random game to see who to vote for (because honestly I couldn't choose) and it landed on Bird Person.

I wish you both the best of luck! I'd make up a little battle cheer but, alas, I'm cold and tired. Good night.

P.S. I'll have plenty of time later!

Alright then. I'll come up with something soon.

Sorry, Melee, but I chose BP. I mean, he has l33t Smash Bros. skillz and all. Don't worry, I'll let you pwn me in MPH later.

In this case I have to agree with Vid, an option that allows you to actively not care about who wins is different from simply not posting.
That was a joke.

I just don't see why you so desperately need to express how much you don't care. Either I'll win, or I'll lose. If you don't care who wins to the extent that you can't think for a moment, who seems more likely to win, then why are you even wasting your time here!?
Sorry TEM. I don't want Mr. Melee's money, and, in the event I lose, I don't want to part with mine. I'm not really into gambling (Well, I'll participate in the lottery when I get older, but that's less risky). Well, it's his challenge so it's not really my decision, is it?

The lottery is less risky than betting on an SSBB fight? Yeah, I guess with the lottery it's virtually guaranteed that you'll lose.

Well, you're only risking a few dollars for a chance (slim, but still a chance) at thirty-thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooousand dollars! Or however much you could win.

MATH

In the Epic Brawl bet, assume you bet $20 and assume you have a 50/50 chance of winning or losing. The expected value that you will win is (0.50 x $0) + (0.50 x $40) minus the $20 entry fee = $0.00. This means that if you did this bet an infinite number of times, you would break even.

In the California MEGA Millions lottery, for instance, odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 175,711,536 and it says jackpots are regularly about $100 million. The expected value that you will win is thus (1/175,711,536 = 0.000000005691 x $100,000,000) + (175,711,535/175,711,536 = 0.999999994309 x $0) minus the $1 entry fee = -$0.43. This means that if you played an infinite number of times, you would lose 43 cents of every dollar you bought a ticket with.

MaxVance is completely correct. The lottery is incredibly risky and the bet has zero risk, technically. Of course, you'd only be doing the bet once so you'd just have to hope for the best. However, the bet is waAAAay better than spending that $20 on the lottery, which you will lose. If you bought 50 lottery tickets every week, you would win the jackpot about once every 5,000 years. Also, the bet is not luck and almost completely skill-based. I'd take that over a lottery even with the same odds anyday.

Playing the lottery is literally throwing your money away. Lotteries are a tax on the mathematically challenged.

Uhh. Well, I'm kind of broke. I have no job...yet. I'll hopefully have one a month or so before Brawl comes out, though.

Here's how I think the thrid fight shall go. All items will be off, stage shall be random, and stock shall be determined by a !d99 in #tmk. As for the other settings, it should be done the way Sakurai wanted.
