I don't like the way you made the boards

Since you put the rankings vertically and the items horizontally, why didn't you do it in MKDS and MKW item probability distributions? Gold Luigi (talk) 08:32, 8 March 2017 (EST)

It was an absolutely deliberate choice: MKDS and MKW use the very same format, in which each column is an item probability distribution. In MK7 and MK8, on the other hand, each row is an item probability distribution. Keep in mind that these data are binary data often directly loaded in RAM, to the point that in the case of MKDS I could discover the item of each row using the action replay codes. The idea is directly represent these data, adding appropriate headers. When the source is not binary data, I prefer the item probability distributions organized in rows.--Mister Wu (talk) 13:02, 8 March 2017 (EST)
