Meanwhile, while many people tried to use the Minecraft crew, their actual win rates were abysmal, so players may have either given up or switched to other characters. Obviously they still bought Steve in large numbers, but maybe that was individually? Regardless, Min Min's usage isn't a real mystery: ARMS isn't a popular game, and Min Min is pretty boring (which accurately reflects ARMS) to use. I wonder if people are buying the Second Fighters Pass. (And they had Min Min as the fourth-most?!) Steve / Alex probably would've gotten second place, but for some reason, Region 4 (Mexico) had them as the 27th-most used. Third-most is still more than the vast majority of characters, and Lord Bowser even got a drop. Still, I'm not making it out like no one used Steve or Alex at all. Not only did Steve fail to unseat Joker, but Steve has failed to be used in more games than CLOUD. and Steve (and Alex and Enderman and Zombie) somehow failed to overtake Joker for the most-used character, despite many predictions that this would happen due to the many Minecraft children that this tournament was advertised to (including the featured section of the in-console Nintendo Switch News). The really interesting headlines are that Min Min is incredibly underwhelming (the least-used DLC character on the list, even below Piranha Plant). I've highlighted Steve / Alex and Min Min's placings. Read the following list this way: Character name, sum of individual games played over all regions, the percent amount that the character was used, and how much their relative position on the list has changed versus the May/June 2020 time frame, which is the last available data. I believe using the official Nintendo-sponsored online tournament is a valid representation of the state of the overall online metagame, due to its inclusive nature. Ultimate fighters and where their usage in the October 2020 online metagame has changed versus June 2020. Here's a pie chart that answers the biggest question you may have (whom is the most used character of them all?) but below that is a text-list of all of the Super Smash Bros. Both of these updates have brought a number of buffs to a number of characters, and big metagame shifts.

It's also the first of these tournaments that has happened after the 8.0.0 update as well. You should consider it a snapshot of the state of the online metagame a few weeks after the release of Steve and the 9.0.0 version update. Quite frankly, the most exciting sets were Region 7 and 8's.Īs for this article, I've taken the time to aggregate the fighter usage stats across every region of the tournament. They performed quite well on Nintendo's stream. he also won the last tournament in his region, too), and Whisky (Robin player from Jalisco, Mexico). player from Montana), The Mighty Dialga (Bayonetta player from the Southeast United States.

That's a pretty average participation rate for these tournaments, though it's the second-lowest number of raw participants that have registered/played on record, only beating out the September 2019 Online Open and dramatically trailing (by double) the previous Online Open results that occurred right before Min Min's existence, despite better prizes. 4028 registrants across the entire North America (split into eight regions), with 2244 players actually showing up and playing at least one match (55.71%). I participated in it (and did pretty well-check out the comments section in that article for details on my performance), as did thousands of other people.

Do not abuse the spoiler tag for posts like "fake leaks," etc. Online tournament advertising is acceptable. Any conversation about politics or current smash drama will be removed. Also, just because a character is in smash does not make content associated with that character relevant. Content is off topic if it does not relate directly to Smash Bros Ultimate. Please direct these posts to the Weekly Discussion Post stickied at the top of the Subreddit. Finding something IRL that reminds you of Smash, like something that resembles a Smash Ball, also falls under this rule. Common meme templates such as fake "leaks" and rants/shallow discussions will be removed. Ultimate, released for the Nintendo Switch on December 7th, 2018! RULES:īe excellent to one another.
