  • Gus — picked in 31% of battles, 48% over 172 matches (fairly reliable) (popular but losing).

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.
