Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, has revealed that all 86 fighters in the game have roughly the same win rate online. This revelation comes as a surprise to many, given the ongoing debates about character balance in competitive gaming. Sakurai presented data to support his claim, indicating that there is no definitive 'best' or 'worst' character in the game. This finding is particularly notable as it contrasts with the struggles other live service games face in maintaining balance among their characters. Sakurai also mentioned that 'fairness' is overrated in the context of character performance.
