I'll stop there for now. I think you get the point. We could do more in other posts. But just to make sure and look at the recurring names and see if there's a pattern on top of that, there's:
Mario (twice), Ken (three times), Mega Man (twice), Cloud (twice), Rob (twice), Shulk (twice), Duck Hunt (twice),
Ryu (twice)
-Ken shows up the most, and other than that there's more non-zoners that recur. (more than zoners, even when counting rob as a zoner). Im not counting Ryu.
As for the floatiness. I dont think it means overly much, especially based on how the stats are on ike:
There was a problem fetching the tweet
So there you go. If someone wants to look further, please do. But I think this is pretty good to tell some basic things about 'Brave'. And also points out why I think the zoner theory is obviously flawed. There might be some interesting comparisons to make besides that. If I missed something or If you see anything interesting, please bring it up
Thanks. & hope this is helpful
Edit: I removed young link from the part I said he recurs. Thought I saw him twice :O
