Are you guys ready for a breakthrough in MSC history? Well here it is. These are the characters REAL shooting abilities.

This is an experiment that I have done myself offline. The terms are this:
• Power or Offensive characters
• Shot at the bottom corner, just over half
• At home at the Classroom
• Shooting to the top of the net from the bottom of the stage
• Ground shot
• No Charge
• Always white ball cheat
• Standing Still

This experiment has taken me roughly 9 months to do. Basically I take every character and see how many shots it takes to score 100 goals. The character who had to take the least amount of shots in those 100 goals has the best shooting ability.

For Example: Petey: 100 goals out of 500 shots
: 1 goal every 5 shots
: 20% of shots went in

That was just an example, here are the results:
1. Bowser Jr. 100-288 1-2.88 34.7
2. Petey 100-292 1-2.92 34.2
3. Monty 10-302 1-3.02 33.1
4. Hammer 100-336 1-3.36 29.8
5. Birdo 100-354 1-3.54 28.2
6. Bowser 100-362 1-3.62 27.6
7. DK 100-363 1-3.63 27.5
8. Wario 100-369 1-3.69 27.1


Wow. Bowser Jr. makes the most shots? I bet none of you saw that coming. What a big surprise. Some other surprises include DK being 2nd last, Petey being 2nd, and Bowser being 3rd last. Honestly I thought DK would be first and Bowser Jr. would be last. But expect the unexpected with MSC.

Now I know many of you will think I either made these stats up or did the experiment wrong but I didn’t. I would not lie about a 9 month experiment that I spent many hours completing. I did the exact same thing for every character, shooting in the same place every time. So these stats are not spewed.

I really believe these are close to the real stats of their striking ability. It seems realistic. The strikers stats are not that far apart. I think this will maybe influence who you choose to play as in the future.

Also, I will tell you the streaky and consistent scorers of the bunch.

Streaky: Wario, Bowser, Bowser Jr.
Consistent: DK, Birdo, Hammer Bro, Monty, Petey

If you want a really consistent shooter who makes a lot of charged shots then look no further than Petey Piranha.

I would love to hear your comments on my experiment. Thanx NW. 

PS. That 27.1 is supposed to be wario's percentage of shots.

This is really an interesting topic, however it only shows who is the "best" at shooting without charging and with the ball right infront of their feet.
DK and Wario's non charged shots is relatively weak, but if you just charge a little bit they will lift up the ball and shoot better than everyone else.
At last.. when I play it's really random if I need 50 shots to get 10 goals or if I need 15, which means we can't rely 100% on these numbers.
Nice work though.

Tried such experiments earlier. I suppose that's really random, the shooting stats are nearby the same for all of the shooters, and if you repeat your experiment there'll be different results.

I'm sorry, but that 9 month experiment was just all for nothing.

Some people hacked already MSC... In some files the luck-percentage and combination has been declared. All I can say, it's just completely luck ... luigibrawl also thought it's NOT luck, but in some case it is. Of course, "pass-patterns" are non-luck goals, but all other shots ARE based on luck. Those files are just T3h proof...

So Projectile, you don't think some characters are SUPPOSED to make more shots than others?
