Safe picks and risky picks on Center Stage
Safe means winning here with a good sample and hard to punish when picked blind; risky means the numbers say it loses, or it wins but is easy to counter once the enemy sees it. The pick-order guide explains when to lock what.

- Maisie — 54% over 177 matches (fairly reliable), picked in 15% of battles, 6 points below its Brawl Ball average of 60%. Blind-pick safety 6/10.
- Max — 52% over 155 matches (fairly reliable), picked in 13% of battles, in line with its Brawl Ball average. Blind-pick safety 7/10.
Strong, but keep for a late pick

How to read these numbers
A win rate only means something when enough matches sit behind it. Next to every number we say how sure we are:
- reliable — 200 matches or more: a solid basis for a verdict.
- fairly reliable — 80 to 199 matches: enough to spot a real pattern.
- early signal — 30 to 79 matches: a hint, not a verdict.
- too few matches — fewer than 30 matches, so we do not show a win rate yet.
A 60% win rate over 40 matches can easily be luck; a 54% win rate over 800 matches is a real edge. Brawlers with fewer than 30 matches are listed without a win rate on purpose.
The coaches' view on Center Stage
The coaching model's view of the mixed layout of Center Stage, next to the measured numbers above. When the two disagree, trust the one with more matches behind it.
Coaches' early picks: Max combine a positive map fit with high blind-pick safety.
Coaches' later picks: Stu, Kit fit the map but are easier to counter, so keep them for the middle or last pick.
