Sakurai talks character win rates in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
- Thread starter Regulus Tera
- Start date
I would absolutely love to see the full data tables; shame it's never happening, but I'd at least like to know who are the least used characters.
My head canon is that only those musky gamers that wear ahegao hoodies "ironically" main him.
I do see a lot of Cloud players. And I also see a lot of them lose against my fair edge guarding Doc bwahaha!!
Too bad I'm only at 200,00 GSP with him.

I very nearly got to 3 mil. then took a nasty drop. I haven't been able to get past 2.8 with him.
I didn't know he was so poorly ranked. I randomly fell in love with using him. His down air brings me so much joy.
Puff or Sheik based off who received the most changes in the recent patch
No twelve year olds were even alive when FF7 came out. Or when Advent Children came out. Or even when Kingdom Hearts 2 came out.
Cloud's fans are all old nerds. Like me!
For an initially released game, I expect those numbers to become more skewed in the future. But holy cow, those are really strong balancing numbers, for a fighting game of this many characters, practically unheard of.
How did you feel about cloud in general?
He was AMAZING in 4, that hasn't changed much in ultimate. Always was a good pick melee wise
I'm sure elite win rates are better than nothing when it comes to trying to keep fighters reasonably balanced, but from years of watching Street Fighter and lurking around SF chats, they don't seem nearly as reliable as tournament results in telling you about balance at the very top of the competitive world.
You're probably correct, but I really think there is just something universally appealing about his design.
My 4yo son has been playing the game a bit on the weekends, and outside of Pokemon characters and maaaaaybe Mario like once or twice
the only other character he has shown interest in is Cloud. And he has never been exposed to any FFVII media of any type.
It's probably because he is the closest thing to a Shonen looking hero, which my son has also been getting into with DB and DBZ recently.
No way, Jigglypuff is a good character in this game.
Honestly, Sheik is just a struggle to win with online. I say this as someone who got to Elite Smash with every character. Any amount of random BS will kill you while you have to work for every stock.
I'm gonna say Rosalina by the amount of buffs she got
Edit: Also Mii Brawler

No actual tier is list going to be made until like summer, at the earliest.
I can't even get to Elite Smash with one character lmao. I bow to you.
Tier lists have been constantly fluctuating and rarely agreed upon since release. People get away with crazy stuff at tournaments with him, he's not bad at all.
My 8-bit dog it ain't just kids that love "edgy" characters. Preteens, Teens, and fully grown adults all love "edgy" characters.
He'd be top three easily. He'd get people who genuinely like him. Plus people who just wanna stir shit with a character that has been joked to hell and back thanks to the internet. it would be glorious
I'm wondering if he means an error in calculating the statistics or an error in calculating in-game values.
I mean honestly the game is incredibly well balanced for how many fighters there are. Some characters are kinda weak but overall the strongest aren't THAT strong compared to the rest. There is no Smash 4 Bayo's or anything.
Yeah its a bit strange. He wins less than half the time yet got nerfed? Meanwhile they buff Ganon and he is probably the best of the heavies.
I think it mean something wrong with the way GSP is calculated since it was changed in yesterday's patch
That sounds pretty well balanced to me.
In the end, I think these kinds of stats are more important than theoretically determining which character is the strongest, because it directly speaks to players' experiences. If players are winning about half the time with their chosen character, then that's a reasonable signal they are having fun.

ところで。ピーチとデイジーは、ダッシュファイターの中でも性能の差がほぼないファイターです。
Of course Nintendo Everything has twisted the words yet again.
Correct translation is: "Peach and Daisy are fighters with almost no gameplay differences, even among the echo fighters."

Nobody wants him to be good in the air, he just doesn't need to be borderline unplayable in it.
You and me both then hahaha
Nah, theres those, and then theres the 12 year old kids that use Cloud, Dark Pit, Sonic and dark Yoshi. Is the design most of the time, not the character itself.
That makese sense. Until he also gave Ridley a garbage recovery and thats a fucking space dragon with wings, while a fat crocodile and a plant use shit to move like fucking helicopters. The plant is a potted plant, it shouldnt fly, yet here we are.
They should improve ridley and mac's recovery, even if its just a tiny bit, they did it for inceneroar and he didnt need so much help as those two.

Because they and all their friends are playing as him in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate online, of course
