Going through my game prototypes folder and came across this found footage test. #foundfootage #horror
Number one outcome for the @BenoitSt_Denis sight was dead on in my simulations. ๐ช
Replying to @Pyramid_Lake @ufc
We have @BenoitSt_Denis winning 76.6% of the 10k simulations. Most common path to victory? Submission 65% of the time.
This could go either way. @BorralhoCaio won 50.3% of the 10k simulations, but the most frequent outcome was @imavov1 by KO/TKO in Round 4.
