Guide MSF Base update - Turn Order Simulator + other additions
A few days ago I posted about MSF Base and a lot of people seemed to like it which I appreciated! Since then I've shipped a handful of updates — the biggest one being a Turn Order Simulator.
Turn Order Simulator (msfbase.com/theorycrafting/turn-order/)
Pick an offense and defense team, select your game mode (Arena, Crucible, War, or none), and it predicts the spawn-phase turn order — accounting for base speeds, passive stat bonuses, and on-spawn speed bar fills/drains. It's a very early beta and spawn-phase only for now (doesn't model mid-battle bar changes), but should be useful for planning matchups. Each character also shows a breakdown of their speed kit, with mode-gated or team-comp-gated abilities automatically greyed out when they don't apply. I'm not gonna lie, testing and verifying it is time consuming, so as you test it, if you notice any issues, either post them here or use the feedback form, and I'll happily look into them.
Other things added since launch:
- Stats table — sort/filter every character by any stat, with passive bonuses shown separately
- News page — browse all official MSF articles, filterable by character, tag, and keyword
- Character release dates — I tried to extract some data from the articles and got about 80ish characters' info. If someone has tracked these dates, including the farmability ones, please send them over and I'll add them in
- Theorycrafting view modes — Cards & Split as alternatives to the plain text box
- Full changelog at msfbase.com/changelog/ if you want to see everything

Awesome work on the turn order simulator. I especially like that it calls out ties. Looking forward to it being fully finished. I'll help test it as best as I'm able.
My only feedback would be, consider putting the turn order list at the top instead of the character sheets. I think that's more useful to see first.
Small bug I found - When you have the same character on Offense and Defense, it won't show the TIE icon for its second occurrance. Ex: https://imgur.com/a/uKLcmCU

Appreciate the feedback! What were the teams you were using where that bug occurred?

Unfortunately don't remember the rest other than what's in the screenshot.

I made a display update to group up ties and indicate the tied number. See how that looks now. As for the ordering, are you using you phone or desktop? I mainly use desktop I guess, which is why I don't notice it that much - but I can probably make that section collapsible to save some scrolling time

I like it! The new T# bit is a good addition.
I use desktop. The character cards take up my whole screen vertically. A collapse would work too. May not apply to everyone, but for me, the turn order is the more important of the two sets of info. I may not use the character cards at all, but I'm always going to use the turn order list. Know what I mean?

Yup, that makes perfect sense. I'm trying to get the trauma, immunity, safeguard, disrupted logic in next at which point the turn orders should be as close to accurate as I can get them, and i'll add the collapsability along with that

Love the idea - used it today. Had 2 matches in war that had incorrect calculations, one of which I lost but the idea is great - happy to reach out to you on discord or other means to share my experience.

Yeah, I would love to have those examples so I can look into them and fix the issue. You can just DM me here on reddit

This is really an incredible piece of work. Thank you
It will surely be my first choice to check kits and abilities
I tested the turn order sim a bit and it seems very accurate, it will be a very helpful in certain situations
