Players swear the game cheats with misses: how often does a long streak happen?

A skill with a high chance still fails several times in a row, and players write angry reviews. Whether that is a bug or just chance depends on a number that most people guess far too low. This entry shows how to work it out for a whole fight and for all players.

Why this works

A long run of bad luck is rare at one chosen moment but common somewhere in many fights. Counting every place a run could start, and then how many fights a player sees, shows whether a complaint points to a bug or only to the shape of chance.

When not to use it

Skip it when the outcome is rigged on purpose, such as a scripted loss or a tutorial that must succeed, or when the real problem is that the hit chance shown is wrong. Then fix the shown number or script the result.
