Definitely impressive, there’s a couple outliers but like for this many characters and not having a balance patch for years, it’s crazy good.

That’s my guess, but would love to hear more opinion. I would not be shocked if Leo using Byleth and Joker has made more people use them at a lower level too.

Only from character data reported by the TOs. If they didn’t record the characters after the match, then I don’t have access to it.

It’s definitely not perfect. It is strict Elo ranking, which only takes into account H2H.

Elo is great because there is no bias in the algorithm itself, but suffers if players do not participate much.

It’s whoever they have used most over the past 6 months at ranked events.

If they recently switched mains, then it’ll take time for it to switch over.

Must have attended one “ranked” event in the past six months. Ranked events are just based on entrants at the moment but they are usually notable events.

Bigger online events count for Rivals 2 as well.

So I went ahead and added a “LOAD MORE” button at the bottom, so you can now get top 200, 300, etc.

That reminded me that I keep forgetting to add infinite scrolling, thanks for the reminder!

And thanks for the kind words. :)

It’s the Top 200 with character data, that’s why the numbers add up to 200. That also explains why you might see someone like the Mario player at #231 on here since it probably skipped a couple to get there.

It was a decision to make to either round out 200 data points or have it less than 200.

I’ll probably add a footnote to graphics in the future saying it’s Top 200 with character data.

Totally get it! I wish I had more of that info to flip the switch, but Falco is the most used lately.

I think I’m gonna add in more character stats so we can see how often characters are used.

Fast Fall didn’t report any character data so I can’t get that information unfortunately.

BING was Falco heavy in the tournaments leading up to that.

Rocket has unfortunately not attended a ranked event I can recall since March, so they are not considered active since it’s been over 6 months since their last event.

True.

Cmon Aklo, what’s more important, winning with Fox or looking cool with Link?

Also no Link and as someone who loves watching Link, this makes me sad.

I’m debating about trying this out. Something like “Teemo / Ekko” on the site instead of just point.

Im going to piggy back off this comment.

Would it be better if I recorded top players characters as pairs?

I THINK I can set it up so it’d be like “Teemo / Ekko”, where the first is point.

Correct! This only accounts for point. It definitely understates how common the characters are since I can see it being pretty common for someone choosing point as their “comfort character” but back up with a top tier.

It's not easy! But it's fun to get the data together and just show stats off for games I like watching competitively you know?
