Little Mac has the lowest win ratio for Smash Bros. 3DS characters online

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 21 Comments

Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai returns in this week’s Famitsu with yet another column. A large portion of his piece delves into the usage of Little Mac.

In his column, Sakurai shares an interesting online player statistic for Super Smash Bros. 3DS. It turns out that Little Mac actually has the lowest win ratio among all of the characters.

Sakurai states:

“For Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the individual character win ratios lined up nicely in a staircase format, but [for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS] one fighter has a significantly low ratio. It’s Little Mac.”
“It appears that the biggest reason for his low win ratio is because people fall under the assumption that ‘Little Mac is strong!’ and all rush to use him only to get pummeled in return. He gives the impression of being able to win easier than other fighters which leads to more people using him, but in reality, he’s a difficult character to actually continuously win with.”
“Little Mac is a fighter with very pronounced strengths and weaknesses. While he has an enhanced dodge and megaton-level punch for aggressive play, he has very weak jump power and a simple back throw along with a follow-up attack prove to be crippling.”
