In a recent YouTube video, Sakurai, known for his work creating video games, has confirmed that all fighting game characters have an equal chance of winning. Creative is based on win and loss rates in online matches. Sakurai reveals that the highest win rate is 51.43% and the lowest is 47.18%, indicating that only 5% separates the strongest character from the weakest in Smash Bros.
This suggests that almost any character has a decent chance to win a game. Sakurai has also spoken about characters who have been deemed too weak or strong
“The Internet can tend to be a kind of echo chamberso if people start saying that something is strong or weak, that evaluation will gain momentum and make people think it is truer than it is,” he says.
Remember that The creative opened his own YouTube channel a few months ago after stopping sharing daily screenshots of the fighting game. Specifically, there are two versions: one in english y another in japanese. Both channels are called Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games.
Right now it already exceeds 576,000 subscribers. We leave you with the Sakurai video that we were telling you about:
