Sorry Blara but your comment bugged the hell out of me because its so wrong. :/
Well theres something called
sequence of events in
probability. And hitting several focus blasts falls under that category if you consider the situation in which they are happening. So Leftiez is right in that sense that hitting several Focus Blasts are a sequence and thus lowering the exspectation to hit one again. Basic math to be honest. Just had to clarify this so that not more people make false claims (did this stuff alot in university).....
For those interested click me! Or me! One more!
no. that makes zero sense whatsoever if you knew what you were talking about in the slightest, so let's have a tiny little review on the most basic of probability lessons.
if you roll two six sided die, what are the odds that both dice will be a six? 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36. if you rolled a dice and got a six, what are the odds that the next dice you roll is a six as well? 1/6. that is because the first dice roll does not influence the second one, it's called an independent event.
what are the odds that you hit three focus blast in a row? .7 * .7 * .7 = .343, or 34.3%. however, if he hit the first two focus blast already, what are the odds of the third one being a hit? 70%, because they are INDEPENDENT EVENTS.
if you have to hit three focus blast in a row to win a game, and haven't done so yet, you should expect to miss at least one of them because odds are slim (34%), that you hit all three of them. but if you hit the first two, the odds of hitting the third one is still just 70% since the previous ones don't influence that one at all!!! i really don't know what you're talking about, and the fact that you misunderstand such a basic concept to that horrendous of a degree is scary, especially since you did that "stuff" a lot in university!
what you're describing seems to be the gambler's fallacy. if you're playing roulette at a casino, and the ball has landed on red eight times in a row, it would be fallacious to put it on black because "it's bound to hit black this time, since it's hit red so often before."
just so we clear: previous instances do not affect future ones for INDEPENDENT EVENTS.
