about tone and expectations. "Least diverse" and "Less than half" might be literally true but you would expect some narrowing around a cluster of top tiers and implicitly having some idea of perfect diversity in top 64 with 75 characters is not reasonable, even with secondaries.
Props on the data collection overall but I disagree with the perspective.
At this point, Smash 4 had already cemted it's top characters. Diddy Kong, Sheik, Rosalina and Zero Suit Samus. Meanwhile in this game top players keep switching top tiers. First it was Inkling, than Chrom, now it's Wolf. We can see the top tiers devloping now (Pichu, Fox, Wolf, Peach, etc) but this game seems much more balanced than early game Smash 4.

As long as none of the top tier end up being absolutely broken messes, then it's all good.

vertel me forum waarom is het bevriezing, dat is behoorlijk gevoelig woord en rare naam
Michael Gonzalez
seems bad
Bentley Nelson
Finally this shit got what it deserves

A meta rarely has 40+ characters in it. Considering how much tech is still being discovered and the range on display so far this is pretty good.

>Wario: 0 (2) I don't think Tweek's Wario was a "backup" character.
Jace Carter
updates are there for it. brokens will always happen. (for any character)
Noah Martin
what does "meta" and "meta game" mean? I've always wondered
Evan Howard
Technically primaried Wolf most of the time, and only pulled out Wario when shit got serious, similar to MkLeo's Lucina
Josiah Kelly
some guy one the comments there said the same thing. is he you? kekeke
Nolan Hughes
whats MkLeo Main normal... and main for serious situations?
Ryan Clark
Literally "game within a game". So while Super Smash Brothers is a game with 75 characters, the "meta game" is what people play that they consider viable so that they can win majors. Just like how melee has 26 characters but the "meta" is really 5 or 6.

>Wario >serious These two words were never put together before. lol. look at this character.

Ike for coasting, Lucina when his opponent solves his Ike gimmick.
Isaiah Parker
Thanks for this explanation BRO
Jaxon Bennett
why would I comment on eventhubs
But that guy also mentioned Shuton's Richter, maybe they shouldn't have posted this before the tournament was even over.
Luke Brooks
Thanks. Well... Personally, I battled online... and IKE seems much stronger than ever in any Smash. I losed to some by a large margin... and Lucina, I faced some, I got easy wins.
Gabriel Edwards
yeah...
Aiden Barnes
Online play is warped by the shitty netcode, which warps the play experience for a lot of players. Offline it's a whole different game and a lot of heavy gimmicks like Ganon Smashes and K Rool shenanigans don't work. Although this meta is still developing, most metas tend toward a fast, light rushdown character roster who can combo a lot of moves.
Brayden Ortiz
it doesn't
Xavier Flores
yeah, the online need improvement
Jack Gutierrez
>pichu on top Is she good now?
Chase Foster
>pichu >does damage to himself >good It's some top 5 player smurfing on people aint it
Luis Morris
Retard.

This isn't melee. Puff is terrible in every game that isn't that one specifically. She is objectively the worst in the game in 4.
