emerges from trenches. anyway. as i said. the spreadsheets got to me. so this is that. (some kind of stats comparison of all the life series mcc sweats- joel scott martyn jimmy grian gem pearl). it's only s4&5 stats (made post P25) because going any earlier feels unfair to people like jimmy (has been on some kind of sweat arc) and too nice to people like grian (not a sweat anymore)
this is everyone's combined radar charts for the 4 pvp games. it is very much impossible to read though so here's it broken down a bit more with comparisons that i find fun. and notes.
these are all the indiv ones! (the scale is weird because it won't let me just keep a fucking maximum number. so please look at the numbers. it is necessary). for pearl's battle box and survival games specifically i can't in good faith not say that she has played those games only once and both were pretty special cases. anyway!!
pvp winners of my spreadsheeting (w avg placements):
battle box: 1st = joel (10.8), 2nd = pearl (11)- if we take pearl out on account of her playing once it'd be jimmy (15.67).
meltdown: 1st = gem (15), 2nd = pearl (17th)
sky battle: 1st = gem (15.67), 2nd = martyn (16.75)
survival games: 1st = pearl (10), 2nd = scott (19)- if we take pearl out on account of her playing once it'd be 1st = scott (19), 2nd = gem (26)
i think joel vs. scott says alot about them. scott's success in survival games makes alot of sense when considering everything he's said about his tryhard strategy and him being a less aggressive player overall- meanwhile joel's gap in battle boxagain makes perfect sense since it is not dependent on surival strategies or playing it safe, and instead playing aggressively so that you can actually get the limited kills available is rewarded more. also battle box not having gear inequalities + joel's mechanical pvp skill being much greater than scott's is relevant here too
jimmy and grian are here sponsored by the leadup to and analysis following Haunted Hoedown- of jimmy being in modern mcc a better pvper than grian. also mochi wanted to see
bad boys are just interesting because they all kind of have the same strengths and weaknesses i guess
gempearl is here because i like them 👍
this is everyone's combined radar charts for the 6 movement games. once again this is mostly impossible to read so further breakdown below
these are all the indiv ones! (DON'T ASK ABT THE DECIMAL PLACES I'M MORE ANNOYED THAN YOU ARE BELIEVE ME) again same thing w scales as the pvp ones- look at the numbers plsplspls!!!! some of the more questionable (when they've only played the game one time) stats here are martyn's HITW, grian's RSR, as well as gem's and pearl's PKWs. the ones that are on zero are games they have not played in s4&5.
movement winners of my spreadsheeting (w avg placements):
ace race: 1st = joel (10.8), 2nd = martyn (11.75)
hole in the wall: 1st = martyn (6), 2nd = joel (7.5)- if we take martyn out on account of him playing once it'd be 1st = joel (7.5), 2nd = scott (10.4)
parkour tag: 1st = pearl (3), 2nd = joel (5)- if we take pearl put on account of her playing once it'd be 1st = joel (5), 2nd = gem and martyn tied (13)
parkour warrior: 1st = martyn (7.5), 2nd = joel (8.33)
rocket spleef rush: 1st = joel (7.67), 2nd = martyn (11.5)
tgttosawaf: 1st = martyn (8), 2nd = joel (9.67)
comparing joel and scott is just something i'll always do sorry. whatever clovis said that time abt how being a joel fan is pitting them against each other all the time Yeah That's Me. the gap in parkour tag is interesting to me because parkour tag is one of the games i feel like scott's is better than joel at sometimes?? and they have a few rly close placements in (BC 7th and 8th, Party 20th and 23rd, 34 15th and 13th. there's more but it's fine). the important thing here is their pkt playstyles are the complete opposite- joel heavily prefers hunting to running and this becomes very clear in his pkt results as well as how he will often hunt 4 rounds (the maximum), while scott often only hunts 1 round. this says alot about them i think.
scott vs martyn is just rly fun.
jimmy vs grian is interesting too because as i said jimmy has improved alot recently and has been more of a sweat while grian barely plays- only as a substitute or in special events, and is quite. um. rusty!! (e.g. him literally not understanding any of the pkw scoring in HH). BUT when looking at their charts overlaid it becomes obvious that grian is just naturally rly good at movement lol. and also his rsr being inflated.
joel vs martyn is here because they are by far the best mcc movement players in the life series (only ones with sprinter archetype on the wiki too). surprisingly joel is just very consistent across the movement games (inconsistent within them though- he has a tendency to always fumble a few laps or rounds. but apparently he's good enough that this doesn't matter that much). martyn beating joel in pkw is interesting but not too surprinsing to me because i'm pretty sure martyn at least knows some of the tech while joel knows nothing and has been brute forcing the parkour games this whole time. god bless.
this is the actual data btw if it's of interest:
shoutout to reafystats the loml and the person sat next to me on my flight for thinking i was doing something serious and worthwhile as i was making the spreadsheet! like no i'm doing minecraft youtuber statistics because i find joel being good at mcc unfortunately attractive and because i get tilted by 'jimmy bad at pvp' takes.
