Does LR Gohan lose the atk/def boosts he'd gained via supers/passive, once you transform?

This does not appear to be the case. Gohan had 200k def before I transformed, after he had like 80k. Dumb

If it's a farmable stage, does that mean there's only stones for clearing the stage once? If so I'm just gonna skip it entirely, I didn't even farm the tag units anyway

Yeah it doesn't seem like it's a typical eza battle, it's more like a regular farmable stage from what I can tell

I can't decide which feeling is better: getting to use LR Vegito for a whole fight (he transformed against the 2nd fight in the Android event) or INT Goku Black not being completely useless.

Lol and right after I was griping about how bad he seemed! A toast to my big mouth

Early observations

Characters with infinite stacking on supers are busted in this mode. Lr agl gohan had 400k def at the end

Transform characters are super good as well, since it counts as one big battle. Have fun with ui goku or lr vegito, Gogeta!

what about +0.5? cuz the only alternative would be a tie then and you'd lose anyway in pick em if it were a tie?

OHhhh yes I did, that game was such a whirlwind I do appear to have counted the cards as a win instead of it being a tie. Sorry, and thanks for the catch! I'll get better as the season gets going I promise

And that means @Xuxon and @MegamanX also deserve mention as it turns out they tied wickle at 13 wins, rather than wickle being at 14. Good job all 3 guys!

Sorry, ran out of space. One more thing, sometimes people start off bad, lose hope, and stop picking. Because of that, I have a rule that if you do not submit picks for 4 weeks in a row, I am removing you from the standings. That's just less clutter on the sheet and the standings, don't take it personally. I will make an effort to ping users who didn't pick the prior week.

ALSO also, congrats to week 1's winner @WickIebee who got a whopping 14 picks right last week to lead the pack! That's the right way to start!

The upset of the week was by far, Tennessee over Cleveland, which had a 3-45 pick spread. The next closest was Oakland over Denver, 10-39

Edit: I'm breaking my own rules because i can, but I'm just posting the rankings from last week. The first set of parentheses is your record that week, the 2nd is your season record. Of course, they'll be the same this week. I have access to all previous weeks of picks, so if you believe there is a discrepancy, please alert me to it. I will be happy to look into it, it wouldn't be the first time and probably won't be the last.

I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss

*Opening blurb that should have been posted week 1*

Welcome everyone to another edition of the b8 nfl pickem topic! If you're new and wondering the difference between this topic and the "other league" topic, well...there isn't one. Just board 8 tradition I think. This runs in addition to the other topic, we aren't linked in anyway but most people pick in both so feel free to head over to ashethan's topic as well!

Anyway, the object is to simply pick as many correct games as you can each week, no strings attached. Submit your picks to me here and I keep track of them on my handy dandy...spreadsheet! The top 8 at the end of the year in total correct picks compete in the playoff edition, with the best in that being declared the winner. Last year our winner was @Meow1000, who barely squeaked into the playoffs on a tiebreak, but outpicked his opponents to take it all. Special mention to @SwiftyDC who led the regular season with 172 wins!

OFFICIAL RULES:
Tl;dr: Make picks in here in a timely manner, don't edit your posts, and all is well.

-Post your picks in the topic here please. I will accept pm's or discord or the like to a point, but it is kind of a hassle to have to search for picks, and I'm not perfect and may forget. So please, for ease of everyone, post picks in here when at all possible. I reserve the right to disallow picks if I feel like someone is just too lazy to post them here repeatedly and is taking advantage of my leniency.

-If at all possible, post picks in the order that I list the games, as it makes entering the picks themselves into the sheet much easier. I realize that the other pick topic posts a different order, and often times people just copy/paste their picks here. I understand, and accept that if that is what you do, but just know that in order makes it easier. Like a lot.

-The deadline for each game is that game's kickoff. This means that you don't have to pick each game immediately, you can just pick the Thursday game, then the 1 pm games, then so on if that is what you want to do. You can always switch individual picks as long as that game's kickoff hasn't happened yet. If you do switch, and you made your picks within the hour of gametimes, DO NOT EDIT YOUR POST. Simply state that you are changing x pick to y team, the reason for this is that if someone were feeling nefarious, they could make picks right before the game, and if a team starts out really well, they might still have time to edit the pick to give themselves a better chance. The time limit on editing is 1 hr if I'm not mistaken, so if you made picks early on, then you can't edit anyway. This does not apply to you then. I will be forced to disallow picks if I see this happen, so if you wait to the last minute, please please please do not edit your post.

-If you forget to post picks in here and the games have kicked off, there is hope. If you have another source of picks from elsewhere that are timestamped or otherwise automatically locked (such as a website locking its picks in once games are underway), provide them here and I will accept them, but in keeping with rule 1, please don't make this a habit. There is an exception to this though: I WILL accept spread bets ONLY if the pick on the spread is such that you took the points, since that carries the expectation that the team will also win. For example, if you take a team -3.5, and are forced to provide this as an alternative pick, I will allow it, since betting they will win by 4 or more inherently means they will win. However, if you take a team +3.5, I cannot accept this since this inherently means you could have been betting on the team to still lose, just by 3 points or less. So if you're completely out of options and have to submit a full gamut of spread picks, you can submit it, but I'll automatically disallow any +picks.

ANYWAY, now that all that's out of the way, games incoming!

This doesn't sound like explicit consent to me, but I don't knwo what all goes into this. The guy texted the video to gruden, and gruden said "I love it." He didn't say "You can publish this video" nor was he even asked that. The videographer sounds to me like he didn't want to ask permission because he knew it'd get denied, so kept it vague and spun gruden's reaction as "permission."

Narciso said while he was editing the video, Brown's marketing manager alerted him that he needed Gruden's consent to use the call. Narciso said Brown texted the video to Gruden, who answered 15 minutes later with three texts: "Wow, I love it," "loved it" and "I love it."

"All right," Narcisco said he told Brown. "There's our permission."

Like, that is not "consenting" imo

From my experience, I thought damage with reduction was basically done as if it subtracts the dmg reduction % from the incoming damage before factoring in defense. So like if they launched a 400k super with no reduction normally, but you had a whis active, I thought it would take 60% of that 400k and then subtract your unit's defense from it for the total. That's the only way that it makes sense that agl golden frieza is taking scratch damage from virtually every attack even though 90% reduction does not imply 100% reduction

Taking 150k damage from a super attack with Icarus active makes me want to pull my hair out. It never happens with Whis but the only difference is 35% vs 40%. It makes absolutely no sense

How much are you taking with whis? Is it on a neutral type character or did the enemy have type adv maybe?

---

I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss

I fiddled with the lineup a lot before I arrived at that particular setup, but once I did it took me maybe 4-5 tries, and I finally ended up with a great run where I even had an item left over, because I managed to make it through the first 2 fights without dokkan mode, and got it to proc on the first turn of the final fight.

Broly wasn't a liability at all, although tbf mine was a rainbow. His only weakness is Tien on the first stage, and he was the main source of damage on the PHY Yamcha on that stage anyway.

The items I used were Android 8, princess snake, icarus, and whis. I fiddled with future bulma for a while but the no dmg reduction was a dealbreaker.
