Little Mac Has the Lowest Win/Loss Ratio in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS has been out for just over a month now, and that's plenty of time for players to have worked out which characters are better than others. One character that has been heavily criticised for being overpowered is Little Mac.

It may, therefore, come as a shock to fans of the game to find that Little Mac actually has the lowest win ratio in the game's online multiplayer rankings of all characters. It's theorised that this is due to the fact that, because of the consensus that he is the strongest character in the game, many novice players head online with him but lose to players with more practice.

In his weekly column for Famitsu magazine, Sakurai explains further:

"For Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the individual character win ratios lined up nicely in a staircase format, but (in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS) one fighter has a significantly low ratio. It's Little Mac."

"Little Mac is a fighter with very pronounced strengths and weaknesses. While he has an enhanced dodge and megaton-level punch for aggressive play, he has very weak jump power and a simple back throw along with a follow-up attack prove to be crippling."

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS is available now. It will be joined by Super Smash Bros. for Wii U on November 28th.
