@amy @vaporeon_ oh
@vaporeon_ in the smash community it is a (now that you mention it very strange) convention to use that sort of notation to describe matchup probability
when someone says a matchup is "+1" they're saying that "if player A using character A fights player B using character B and both players are of equal skill level, then I estimate that player A should win 55% of the time"
+2 is ~60% of the time
+0/even is ~50%
etc
This isn't "official", it's very loose terminology and people have their own interpretations of it but this is usually close to how most people think of it
@vaporeon_ matchup
@vaporeon_ @The_T @amy seems like the mouse MU is +2
@aescling check discord
not enough for playing videogames to out of the question but just enough to still be annoying
@amy amy!! 🤠
@Lady @Satsuma okay let me clarify my confusion then. If I have a value of number type I can call Object.getPrototypeOf on that number and get the Number.prototype object.
I can call methods and access properties on the number as well.
In general things we call primitives in JavaScript has property access and is in a prototype chain (although now that I think about it im sure undefined and null don't fit into this).
I was under the impression that values are containers for information that allow property access semantics, and that all values in the language participate in this, and the language makes a very poor decision of overloading the term "object" to simultaneously refer to one of 1) the fundamental container type that (all?) values in JavaScript are 2) non-null types that typeof tells you are "object" 3) instances of ES6 classes
@Lady @Satsuma Here, have a transcription of the most appalling part of the video:
Author: "And why is nearly everything an object? Why is Strings objects? Why are numbers objects? They're just numbers. Like I get that it's for method but does NaN
need to be an object?"
[screen shows author using the node.js REPL calling the valueOf
method of NaN
]
Author: "Why would anyone want to get the value of something that explicitly states it isn't a number?"
[Cut to screenshot of freecodecamp.org's description of JavaScript which claims that "JavaScript is not a class-based object-oriented language".]
Author: "Any many argue that JavaScript isn't object-oriented."
[cut to screenshot of towardsdatascience.com's description of JavaScript which claims that "Nearly everything in JavaScript is an object".]
Author: "Looks pretty-object oriented to me... And why is that functions are also classes? That's what [ES6] classes are for."
@aescling movie theatres are now playing special messages before the movie starts specifically requesting that the audience does not trash the theatre during the chicken jockey scene
