The 2016 Summer Cup is around the corner and /mlp/ is getting ready with this weekend's stream of the Friendship Tests 2! Get hyp, have a cheeky Mando's, and settle in for some lad canter.

>Main Page:
https://implyingrigged.info/wiki/Main_Page
>Next Cup:
http://implyingrigged.info/wiki/2016_4chan_Summer_Cup

>Where can I watch the Friendship Tests?
http://derpy.me/5E6C0

>When is the stream?
17:00 UTC Saturday and Sunday, June 25-26

>What is this?
/mlp/ management are busy testing different team setups to decide what kind of team to use this summer. A selection of those test games will be streamed to give the board a sneak peek behind the scenes. The games are arranged like a cup group stage, so cheer for your favorite team to win it all (even though that “winner” may not be the team build used later this summer). Fake horse teams include: /wdb/ Wonderbolts, /sdb/ Shadowbolts, /pnk/ Too Many Pinkie Pies, /cdf/ Cloudsdale Factory, /eqg/ Equestria Girls, and newcomers /pow/ Power Ponies!

>When does /mlp/ play?
When I'm finished with ur mum.

I actually did upload to both for a while when I first started the channel. Then I stopped doing dailymotion because the file sizes were too big I think.

To be fair, they were using meme tactics against /block/. Obviously, they got out memed.

>>27725360
The winter export was actually very similar to /out/'s, if you look.
>>
>>27725596
>The winter export was actually very similar to /out/'s, if you look.

Superficially, maybe, but really it was nothing the same. If it was as good as /out/, we'd have probably made it a lot further.
>>
>>27723951
Remove Sunshit. Do this
>>
>>27725630
They ran the exact same player positions. That's hardly superficial. Don't know about the cards, though.

A lot of it has to do with who you played. Who's to say if /out/ and /mlp/ had switched groups, /mlp/ might not have done better?

>>
>>27725795
Oh, is Test Pony still around? I hadn't heard about him in ages.

Still, just making note of names. /asp/ have a thread going for changes to their team as well, and a bunch of Anon's are also coming up with ideas for some blenders to make the team interesting, as well as a stadium or two.
>>
>>27725820

We'll be running polls during the weekend to determine the final roster. We haven't had a lot of suggestions yet, though. Season six /mlp/ has been pretty sparse with horse memes.

So far we have:

>New players suggestions:
It's already shit
Demonbabby
Princess Party
cumjar
Who is this pink dog
Sweep sweep
The peat and growerful Triskie
Rainbomination

>player change suggestions:
Rename = to 'Make Some Friends' / 'GlimGlam'
Change >no hooves' model to Zesty Gourmand


More suggestions are welcome.

"It's already shit" is a must have, it really embodies the spirit of the board.

I suggest sweep sweep to just be the name on twilight's jersey, mostly because it would be hard to make a nice blender for such a player

I'm looking through the episode list and there really wasn't anything that would guarantee a roster spot. Fuck dragonfags, flutterbro was a shit... everything else is already on the list.

I'd add
>A spa episode

I second this idea. Twilight doesn't need two players anyway. Maybe add a floating broom in front of her, like Kerning's model.

No, I think a weak performance in the winter groups and a defeat in RO16 diffused any salt /mlp/ accumulated from last summer.

Agreed with the other anon, the motion is a bit too jerky and fast, but it's a really cool idea

Maybe they're just a salt bomb waiting to go off. Hell, if we win this year, they'll be even madder than if we did great in winter.

Not great, no, but good perhaps. It may grow on me more with repeated viewings. I've only seen each episode once, on the release day. The quality seems much less consistent than in the previous two seasons. 4 was solid overall, 5 was a little more unwieldy, and 6 is just all over the place in terms of good episodes and total shit. Nick's episodes have been great, fortunately.

Yeah, I don't want to shit on it since it has some fun episodes, but after the 12 eps we had it almost feels like S3 again. The great ones I have watched several times, the rest I rather skip and just rewatch the old ones.
Confalone's actually redeemed himself after Yaks, the rest he has written so far is exceptional. Saddle Row Review is a strong candidate for the best of S6.

God, I was on /vg/ for the past couple days following cup discussion, and the salt is fucking real. Do we have a single fan outside this board? We don't even get invited to invitationals anymore. If we win again this summer, we might as well make our own league, they'll never invite us back.

That being said, what do the more PES-savvy of you anons here think of our chances this year? I was bored and compiled a list of our record against other teams, win-loss ratios, etc., and on paper we seem pretty great, but I'm not really in-the-know when it comes to how mulp is managed and what the latest rumors are. Also, this is the first time I'll be watching the friendship tests. Anyone wanna give a rundown on the teams and who I should root for? How does the outcome decide /mlp/'s tactics in summer?
>>
>>27732723

Based on the previous Friendship Tests

Cloudsdale Factory, Too many Pinkie Pies and Equestria Girls were middle of the pack teams that weren't particularly great, but not terrible either, Shadowbolts were boring, but very effective, and Wonderbolts were off to an amazing start but kept squandering huge leads and ended up losing almost every time.

In terms of the cup, people have always been salty about /mlp/, but the butt hurt got worse and worse the better we got. We used to be included as a "joke team", but when we started doing great people started ignoring us, and when we won Summer 2015 they started actively banning us from entering off-season events.

We've always been a strong team that people don't like to face, but you'll obviously never hear anyone saying that out loud. No one really knows what the future holds. The goal is always make it out of the group stage and stay elite. Once you're in the knockouts, you can assume every team that is left is strong, so besides good tactics you need a little bit of luck and PES magic as well.

>>27732723
The /mlp/ management is good at two things: volume testing and not doing super obvious mistakes.

However, they are not known to reinvent the game, either, even if that only wins you every fourth cup or so. Most of the time, a stable formation with the best tweaks and the least encounters against their favour wins. These formations are already known by every team that is not managed by an utter retard. Out of ~60 teams, this leaves ~25 teams, of which the majority are just clever enough to copy tactics from the last cup's winner. So about a dozen teams are actual competent. Among these teams, it's something that closely resembles a rock-paper-scissors principle, the right tweaks, and >PES that decides the winner.
Pick the wrong formation flavour of the cup and you not only have to fear the dozen decent teams, but also by extension the copycats.

This is pretty much what /mlp/'s chances will always boil down to, unless our management gets lazy.

Yeah, the timezone thing was confusing me. Throughout the year I either way up at 1, 3 or sometimes 2 depending. Daylight savings in America tends to stop/start a few weeks before Australia does and it confuses the fuck out of me each time.

There's no salt. /4ccg/ hates us or memes on us in general, after our performance in Winter nobody's salty. Cease the league bullshit.
As for our chances this year, honestly, who the fuck knows. We have the power of autism and its multipliers on our side, but a shitty draw and 3 matches with some bad luck and we might as well be regulated. Or we'll luck our way through on some maximum kekoff/90+ cheeky shit. This isn't 10% luck and 20% skill. We don't know who will be in our group and we don't know what variation of /u/'s diamond 442 they'll run.

While we kick off the Friendship Tests 2, we're also holding the final roster polls this weekend.

The past months, people have made suggestions for new players, and we've held several polls to find out who the least favorite players on our current roster are.

>The least favorite players on our current roster are:
The Hiatus
Didn't Listen
Don't Believe Her Lies

>The new memes that have been suggested are:
It's already shit
Demonbabby
Princess Party
Who is this pink dog?
The Peat And Growerful Triskie
Rainbomination
>A spa episode
Anon's Pie Adventure
Sweep Sweep Sweep

Additionally, people wanted to make changes to existing players:
Change ='s name to "Make some friends" or "Glim Glam"
Change >No Hooves model to "Zesty Gourmand" (the food critic from Spice Up Your Life)

We will run today's poll to find out which of the new player suggestions people think are worth keeping. Tomorrow's poll will between the most popular suggestions, and the least popular current roster players, in order to see if people still prefer the old memes over the new ones.

Make sure to vote in the poll!

I sexually Identify as an Equestria Girl. Ever since I was a foal I dreamed of running on the field without disgusting arms. People say to me that a person being an Equestria Girl is Impossible and I’m fucking retarded but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon remove my arms, inflate my head and shrink everything else. From now on I want you guys to call me “Melon Mint” and respect my right to look really bored. If you can’t accept me you’re a eqgphobe and need to check your girl privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.

That's kind of a problem. What's effective isn't necessarily fun to watch.

At the end of the day, the cup is supposed to entertain people. When you find a formation that is undefeatable, but very boring to watch, it provides a huge dilemma.

While a board like /sp/ might not give a shit, because they're all about banter and not whether the actual games are fun to watch (in fact, they probably enjoy making it as slurp as possible, as a form of trolling), I don't think horsefuckers would be very amused if /mlp/ slurped its way through summer.

I guess defending your way to a win is ultimately a valid tactic as well. They don't say "Offense wins games, defense wins cups" for nothing.

I don't get why they don'r really experiment with things, others are not considering. They have the capability to. Who knows if all medals in midfield or defense are stronger than in attack, which we see 99,8 % of the time (/lit/ had one build with silver fullbacks.)
>>
>>27737095
So 6?
>>
>>27737075

It did really well in the Friendship Tests 1, as the Shadowbolts showed. The thing was that we missjudged what kind of teams would become popular in PES16. So it ended up sucking against actual cup teams, and we had to work real hard to not get BTFO.

Now that the PES16 meta has settled a bit, it's easier to make teams that will (probably) do okay in the Summer Cup as well. The only thing no one knows yet is what rules Summer will use, but I don't think it would affect the teams we are testing now too much. At most we might have to make minor tweaks or something.

I tested a 5-4-1 with four medal DMF. DMF is the only position (besides fullbacks), that the AI uses for BOTH, defending (also deep defending til the goalbox) AND attacking (if there are not enough other forwards). So you can use the boosted skills "attacking prowess" and "defending prowess" to 99 in full effect - which also worked in my tryouts against the latest builds of /m/, /gif/ and /fit/.

Seriously speaking, tho, something really weird happened today

/sdb/ cut thru /eqg/ defense like it was butter, and not once, or twice, or even thrice, but FIVE FUCKING TIMES, while /wdb/ had to work a whole fucking lot to get 2 goals.

And then, in the vs match, /wdb/ manages to score 5 while /sdb/ barely scores 3.

The point is: what in /eqg/ tactics managed to stall /wdb/ that much without affecting /sdb/? Because by all accounts it doesn't have much sense.

it's pes

nah but really, could be that one of the games was just a wild outlier and if you ran each game 10 times the average result would be much difficult
or it can be a slider/position thing, for that I'd actually have to know what the teams run and remember their tactics which I don't and I'm not a PESpro to recognize it just from the play
>>
>>27737339
/sdb/'s tactics were a better counter to /eqg/'s, and /wdb/ was a better counter to /sdb/.

PES isn't a power ranking, where one set of tactics is just 'better'. Its more like rock-paper-scissors.

A good set of tactics are ones that are flexible to counter a range of threats.
>>
>>27737386
Pretty much this
You can create a perfect counter to a certain formation that will shit all over it like /sdb/ did against /eqg/ but that doesn't mean that you won't get shat on by every other style of tictacs, because you focused on countering just one too much. Not saying that is the case here, just in theory.
>>
>>27737386
I could agree with this if /sdb/-/eqg/ ended 2-0.
But it ended 5-0. This is not just a contrast in tactics, I'm fairly sure there was something in /eqg/ that didn't work at all against /sdb/, while instead kinda worked against /wdb/.

It's not a random question, think about it: if the team ends up using /wdb/ tactics, it means there is a certain condition where it could fail hard even against weaker tactics (considering real matches have live managing)
>>
>>27737409
You could run /sdb/ v /eqg/ ten times and get ten completely different results.

PES is random. Tactics can influence that randomness, but shit happens.

There's been cases in previous versions of PES whereby the randomness was so heavily weighted that tactics didn't mean for dick. If the RNG decided you were going to get btfo, there wasn't a damn thing you could do about it.
>>
Also, Equestria Girls used the former Shadowbolts formation and tactics. I assume the Shadowbolts just knew their own weaknesses and thus knew how to beat the living shit out of copycats.
>>
>>27737442
hmm, that seems a bit lazy tho...

>>27737445
Now, this makes a lot more sense. FUCKING MULTICOLORED HUMANS
>>
>>27737409
I'm sure the managers got that covered since that's kinda the point of this whole thing, to find out which tactics works best against what.
But as it's been said, sometimes PES just doesn't feel like making sense. It's still partially a dice roll.
>>
Out of curiosity, what were the formations for each team?

I remember 5-4-1 (!!!) for /pow/, 4-4-2 for /wdb/ and 4-3-3 for /sdb/ but not the other ones.

That's a misunderstanding of statistics.

If you were to play /sdb/ vs /eqg/ 100 times, or 1000 times, or even more, you will find that the graph of goal difference counts for those matches starts to look like a particular shape you may recognize. The one shown here, though in an approximated, discrete form.

In principle, your choice of player builds, skills, placements, and overall team behavior shape that curve towards or against your favor.

If you look at any one particular event, yeah, random chance plays a significant part. But the character of that randomness isn't random at all.

The surprise comes because the the way the randomness acts isn't linear at all but has some very chaotic borders. Small changes to tactics can make a big difference; it's not completely clear just by looking at them what effect a change might happen at the chaotic regions; and even with so many people running tests, it's not computationally feasible to exhaustively test all possibilities with significant sample sizes.

Making good rolls always saves you, but designing and playing smart increases the chance that mediocre rolls get you through.

I do think everyone was a bit hard on each other today. What was there was top quality.

I think the problem with the current /clop/ operations is that we have a streamer, and we have content creators, but who is actually putting all of that together? PMB is like Boris, in that he can do what he's told, and he can figure some things out on his own, but someone technical needs to take point and actually put the PES crap together in a reproducible way so PMB can follow directions and go.

We can sit here and
>NotePerson

work schedule. (Only problem with that is it's easier to show up an hour late with hyp vid than it is to show up an hour late with blenders.)

I'm really, really sorry about that. We couldn't start the stream without the aesthetics in place and, by the time they were installed, the hyp video was a few minutes from being downloaded. I had high hopes of starting on time today, but can only nag people so many times about deadlines before crossing over from "concerned streamer" to "nagging asshole." Considering the quality of work Ved and Note did for us, at considerable personal expense, I'd be the last one to give them serious grief over it. I'm grateful when anyone is willing to create things for us to use in a cup setting. The cup and FT are some of the best things going for the board, so anything that improves the quality is worth a wait in my book.

That said, I know (more than ever, these days) that people have obligations and schedules and base their time commitments on stated start times. I take that very seriously and regret that anyone may have missed out due to the late start. I apologize and have discussed steps to be taken to avoid this issue going forward.

>>27737812
I'm responsible for some of the hiccups, definitely. During my tenure, I took the lead on scheduling events, setting deadlines, networking with managers and content creators, delegating, and coordinating team efforts. After retiring, I made a concerted effort to NOT butt in and commandeer things. The managers did a great job behind the scenes picking up the reins and putting the machine in motion, but with any transition there are growing pains. The things that went right today were the results of their hard work the last two months. I may have been able to catch some of the avoidable problems if I had been more involved, but I think it had less to do with my absence and a lot more to do with processes and best practices, which are being addressed as we speak.

Thank you to everyone who was able to spend time with us today in spite of the difficulties. We'll nail it tomorrow and the season after that.

How often are you planning to do these, anyway? So far it's before we play in a cup, but I assume if we get relegated into Autumn it probably won't be a good idea to do another so soon. So before every elite? Or once a year?
>>
>>27738298
/mlp/ does exhaustive export testing prior to every cup, babbies and elites alike. My original intention for the Friendship Tests was to host them prior to every cup /mlp/ participates in, since it's basically just the same testing the managers would be doing anyway, but dressed up for the board to enjoy. I would like to see the managers host the next FT prior to Autumn if /mlp/ should be so unfortunate as to be relegated in Summer, but it's not my call to make. I'll be here to help in any way I can, however.

Someone earlier in the thread mentioned that the main purpose of the cup is to entertain, not to be a tryhard. I agree completely, and that's the spirit embodied in the FT. As long as they're fun and people enjoy getting together to celebrate our favorite horses kicking a ball around, that's all the reason we need to do the streams.

1) Anon. We've had issues with Anon at previous events. Some 4CCC people lobbied to bring him back for FT2, feeling that he deserved another chance. That was a mistake. Anon is an ass, and we won't be working with him again.

2) As long as we're firing people, we are also firing the /mlp/ team that we've been working with on the Winter Cup. They will be replaced, and we hope to get this turned around before Summer.
