Finalysis Walkthrough

Introduction & History

Hi, I'm Finalys. You may know me as the author of Finalysis which started in 2020 as a personal project to learn about python.

Check out the very first Finalysis I tweeted.

Finalysis started off as a project to summarize and derive insights from Shadowverse tournaments, mainly SVO and JCG. Now that I've sort of achieved what I wanted to learn, it is time to share my knowledge as I try to understand how GitHub works (previously I've been doing everything on Jupyter). I hope to work with others in the future on GitHub :)

The purpose is to share my process of how I process data from Shadowverse Tournaments, which should be suitable for beginners like me. I am pretty sure there are better/efficient ways to perform such tasks. I'm not from a STEM background so results is what matters to me more. I'm not too concerned with the most time-optimal method since the data that we're working with isn't too large (pretty sure I gave the wrong justification but oh wells).

As this is my very first public repo, I will try my best to pick up good habits and make it very digestable for fellow beginners. I hope to inspire more people to take the very first step, ideally in something that interest you like how Shadowverse did to me.

Again, I reiterate that I still consider myself a beginner so if there are any improvements/suggestions please feel free to let me know!
