Rollback Unranked Character usage

[itsbme]

This is based off of what was observed from 234 matches on twitch streams from 3 pro players playing unranked: n0ne, Mew2King and Plup. I took an even number of matches from each pro. A higher number would obviously be more accurate but this is a rough idea of what you can expect to run into. Note this is an example of the first time a new player was connected to. If they were rematches I didn’t count it as I was looking into uninfluenced behavior not salty picks or disrespectful counterpicks.

Ha.

My main isn't even listed.

What’s funny is the top five used is exactly the mains I used.

Seems relatively close to what I've seen. Other than I haven't seen nearly that many docs lol.

I'm surprised that Doc is on Top 5 for most encountered, considering that he's also mashed in between the ranks of the most commonly used characters. I always assumed that he was around the 3-6% considering that Doc hasn't had huge representation ever since Shroomed dropped him in favor for Sheik.

Yeah, 5th most popular is crazy. This character is mid tier.

The only reason I can think of for the Doc usage is that his good mobility along with some kill power makes him a choice over Pikachu and the like, and he’s easy to control.

I mean, Luigi, Yoshi, Pikachu, and Samus are all more mobile than Dr. Mario. So is Mario.

However, the part about kill power? Yeah, that is true. He does have a relatively low skill ceiling in comparison to the aforementioned characters, but most importantly- pills are great for controlling space, and he has chaingrabs that lead into death.

I think for most beginners, or people who are used to Fox, Doc is more inline with how the top tiers move, versus Luigi and Samus who are very different and maybe not as appealing.

That is a fair enough point. Mario is made for beginners, essentially, and Dr. Mario is a more lethal version of him. What's not to like?

 

[Daladex]

We all typing in colours here? Alrighty. I like these stats, definitely not surprised about Falco. I think Doc's popularity actually makes sense due to how easy he is to pick up, he's a solid character for learning fundamentals, and isn't technically demanding. From my experience, 4 frame jumpsquats are super easy and comfortable to wavedash with, for me it's actually difficult to mess up the timing. Falcon is another good character to learn fundamentals with, and also has a 4 frame jumpsquat. However, Fox till I die.

Roy at 1.3%

LOOK GARY, THERE I AM!

but yeah, this has been pretty accurate what you see most of the time
cries in losing Marth n Falco MU

It’s not that, it’s just any first connection they made they never ran into Pichu. I only counted first match because I wanted it to be random and not influenced so the data was consistent as possible.
