At the end of every match, the score screen shows a myriad of stats. One that always interests me is Hit Percentage. I understand this stat can be skewed by creating "walls"or practicing short hop aerials between stocks (I don't personally do it, maybe I should!). In general, though, we don't want to be whiffing too much as that leaves openings.
Of course aiming for 100% would be optimal but we all know that's not going to happen. What do you think is an acceptable % to be ok with or to know "I did everything I could in this aspect of the game"?
Example: I would put my experience level at "Scrub but aware of it, so trending upwards." I main Lucina and like to put up that "wall" as aforementioned. My average hit % with her is ~42%, pretty low in my opinion when you think about just how many of your hits actually connect or are just mindless attempts at making "small reads." I know if I connect on more of my hits, each "attack" will become more meaningful and opponents will have to respect my approaches or reactions.
Now with Charizard, my hit % is nearly 55%. My strategy with him is a lot more grab heavy, so he's doing less hits to begin with. However those hits come in the form of combos from grabs or just pack a huge punch, so it's kind of skewed.
This can also go the other direction where we think about how often should we be "ok" with being hit too...
Do you guys have an opinion on this? Does it even matter?
