So sad, it's true.

Seeing as there was a 14% chance to fail/obtain nothing with each swing.
I've actually managed to strike that 14% four times in a row.

Now, if only I could do that with materia.
But instead of failing, it was a success.
Oh well.....

Edit: Another Set of Fails by me.

So... don't even try upgrade your Relic weapon xD

yeah, like they have said it's random, but gosh... that some really bad luck you have there. they really need to rethink stuff a bit and place some mechanic for avoid this, because it's only big frustration. (can't imagine this with materia, wait don't need... i did miss 15 times with 50%)

Cognitive bias!

stay away fro me u got one of the worst luck of history and its a spreading virus lol

This needs to exist for anything pertinent XD.

The chance to succeed that was 86% iirc, so the chance to fail is 14%- to succesfully fail 4 times in a row at 14% is (.14)^4 = 0.00038416 . . . . So yeah.. lol

It was pretty dang useful in CoH. At best your accuracy was 95%. There was always a 5% chance of missing (or a 5% chance of hitting on the other end.) Streakbreaker just made it so that luck was fairly limited. Could still get unlucky and just alternate hits and misses, but that would be pretty dang unlucky.

I'm usually in favor of "RNG" but this system could help a lot, turning some actions more dependent on "skill" than "luck", w/o completely removing randomness which is like the spice of life, good in small doses.

I haven't laughed this hard all day. Thanks for sharing OP!

Actually, no wait. You obtain nothing from me!

Had someone I know fail ten times in a row at 99%. Chances of that happening is like .01^10.

Sometimes I still cry myself to sleep thinking of when I missed 18 melds in a row at 45ish%... The pain, the misery, the gil-less-ness ;.;

I know that every roll of the dice is new and doesn't have anything to do with what rolled before so it's completely silly to think your chances increase any just because you get a streak in one direction or another, but still... It hurts!

I'm fairly certain there is a slight bug somewhere in either the calculation of the success percentage, rounding of that percentage, or just the displaying of the percentage.. I've had a 'you obtain nothing' mining something with 100% success rate. Only ever happened once though.

Ive had that happen as well once. Though I might know why it happened, as I used one of the Sharp Visions, then immediately kept mining so I assume it didn't keep up with the buff, as most of the buffs in the game seem to lag a sec or so.
