About Pull or Skip

What is Pull or Skip?

Pull or Skip is a fan-made voting game for Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, Honkai Impact 3rd and Zenless Zone Zero. You see one character at a time and answer one question: would you actually spend your pulls on their banner? Every vote feeds a live ranking of all 302 characters, ordered by the lower bound of a 95% Wilson confidence interval so a handful of lucky votes cannot outrank a well-tested character. Characters with fewer than 50 votes are shown as still counting.

How is the pull rate calculated?

Each vote is a yes or a no. A character's pull rate is simply the share of yes votes, but characters are ranked by the lower bound of a 95% Wilson confidence interval on that share, not by the share itself. That penalises small samples: a character with three yes votes out of three does not outrank one with 600 out of 1,000, because the first interval is far wider.

The deck is shuffled differently for every session, so every character reaches voters at about the same rate — simulated over 8,000 sessions, a shuffled deck reproduces the true ranking with a rank correlation of 0.99 where a fixed order manages 0.42.

What does “still counting” mean?

A character with fewer than 50 votes is held off the main board. Their page shows the vote count but not a percentage, because a percentage on a handful of votes is a coin flip presented as a fact. Internally they are ordered by a Bayesian average that pulls toward the roster-wide mean until enough votes arrive.

Can one person vote more than once?

Not for the same character. Each session carries a signed cookie, and the server keeps a per-session record of which characters it has already counted, so replaying a deck or refreshing mid-run never counts a character twice. Undo is a convenience on screen; a vote already sent stays as it was first cast.
