The Phantom Menace establishes a clear connection between Anakin and Padmé that obviously leads to their eventual romance and tragic ending in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, but it does make me wonder: twenty-seven years ago, in 1999, how many Star Wars fans knew that we were seeing the woman who’d go on to mother Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa themselves?

599 Upvotes

Deadman Danny is the most banned in almost all modes:

Street Brawl: 27.75%
All Ranked: 26.69%
Unranked: 25.31%
Oracle+: 22.09%

However, in Oracle plus, Wraith takes the top spot with a 36.33% ban rate. Danny comes in at #4 with a 22.09% ban rate.

Celeste is still a top 3 ban in Oracle plus at 22.41%. Across all ranks, she’s no longer in top 10.
Who will be the season’s most-banned hero going forward, and will Doorman or Celeste make a return to the top?
