Help
Why can't I spectate matches anymore? The option doesn't show upon the "With anyone" screen. It might be because I have too many friends, help!

questions
I have many questions regarding spectator mode. -Why is the timer different every time? (sometimes I have 30 seconds to decide where to bet, and others I have only 8)

- I concur. It could be the case that this discontinuation applies only to America, but there's no mention of it being discontinued anywhere on the DOJO!!, so maybe it was just a rumour... Feedback from people from different parts of the world would be useful. PenguinofDeath 14:23, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
Tips
Fine, but let me at least put it on the talk page. I don't want all the trouble I went through to be gone forever, specially when I know it'll help others. Anyway, here are some tips that used to be on the main page: — {EspyoT} 14:43, 30 July 2013 (EDT)
Even though the nature of online matches is relatively random, there are a few tips one can follow in order to increase the chances of betting on the winner. Keep in mind that these tips are subjective and not always true, so they should only serve as general considerations, not rules.
- Beginner players tend to have locked characters. If someone's playing with an unlockable character, chances are they've been playing for more than a couple of hours.
- Beginner players won't be aware that pressing certain buttons will toggle a character's palette, so betting on players who have a color that's different from the default is a bit more likely to be a bet on a more experienced player.
- Likewise, beginner players won't be aware that one can press the character portraits to switch to a different sub-character, nor will they know straight away that one can hold a button to start as Zero Suit Samus. As such, if a player is using Sheik instead of Zelda, Charizard/Squirtle/Ivysaur instead of Pokémon Trainer or specially Zero Suit Samus instead of Samus, they're probably a bit more comfortable with the game and its small character selection quirks.
- Players with less experience tend to select certain characters:
- Interestingly, beginner players tend to pick characters that appear stronger, and tend to avoid weaker-looking characters. As such, Mr. Game and Watch, R.O.B., etc. tend to be avoided by casual players, not to mention that these characters are also unlockable (read above). Similarly, characters with "mocking" colors, such as Captain Falcon's pink outfit, tend to be chosen by more experienced players, as to mock the weaker ones.
- Players only try Team Battles after they've gained some experience. As such, some of the rules above can't be taken as much into consideration on Team Battles. Instead, one should attempt to bet on teams who have a good dynamic, like a Bowser/Sonic team.
- Although a lot less applicable than in professional matches, character tiers can also be taken into account when selecting a player to bet on.
- If there are several taunt match characters, specially if they're all the same, and one character who doesn't fit, there is a chance that the latter will attempt to ruin the taunt party. Given that the match might become a 3-to-1 fight, the party crasher might lose.
