The latest craze in the gaming community is Salty Bet, a website that streams AI vs AI battles of the freeware fighting game M.U.G.E.N and allows viewers to place bets on which fighter will come out victorious. I always used to chuckle at the thought of gambling being an addictive activity, but Salty Bet has caught me within its clutches.

For those unfamiliar with it, M.U.G.E.N is a freeware fighting game that allows its users to create characters and stages, while allowing them to customize pretty much anything they’d like. Because of that, the number of characters/stages available in the game is practically infinite, and each character’s statistics are completely unpredictable. This makes the game perfect for streaming 24/7, while having a roster that viewers (in theory) won’t tire of.

Tonight I learned a very important lesson. Never bet on DBZ characters.

Regret.
