I watched a Fox v. Dr. Mario match on Jungle Japes. I bet on Fox and lost. Later on I won a bet and I started a "win streak." On the very first bet afterwards it's a Fox v. Dr. Mario and Jungle Japes with familiar names. It turns out to be the very same match. Anybody seen anything like this before?

Spectator mode is just replays of actual online matches, you aren't watching anyone live.

Yeah, but my point was that I got the same battle twice.

Yeah, I think that defeats the point of spectator mode. There's no use in watching matches like that if they're not live. Just random replays of players. Not even special highlights of the best matches or anything.

What's the difference if it's live? It's like we can communicate with the players. It's exactly the same, only lag free..

I have witnessed the same matches multiple times. It's an easy purse if you can remember the winner.
Just dodge U-1, keep dodging!

Because if it's live you have a better connection with the players and feel more involved. This just makes me feel disconnected... same as Smash Run, actually. No interaction with other players during the 5 minutes and often not even for the final showdown.

Except sometimes the outcome of the battle doesn't actually mean anything as far as the bet goes. I've had repeat replays only to lose my bet because the actual winner of the fight apparently came in 4th on the results screen. Even though without-a-doubt the player had the higher score at the end of the match. This is either a huge oversight or it's just the product of a poorly tacked on feature. IIRC, Brawl's spectator mode was like this too.

This happened to me too involving a 1-on-1 with Zero Suit Samus and Rosalina. Spectator is pretty glitchy in this game.
