Magic Puffs is Gene's most-picked star power at 54.0%. A star power comes into play with the Super, which you charge up by landing attacks and then fire when you choose. Spirit Slap trails behind at 46.0%. Vengeful Spirits is the gadget of choice at 53.0% pick rate. Unlike a star power, a gadget is triggered on its own rather than with the Super, and it can be used as often as you like once its cooldown is up. Lamp Blowout sees the rest of the picks at 47.0%.

About Gene

Most people look at Gene and see a funny little guy in a costume. What they don't see is that his personality is split between his body and his teapot.

Most players build Gene around Magic Puffs and Vengeful Spirits, picked in 54.0% and 53.0% of games respectively. Right now Gene is a D-tier pick. Its best mode is Knockout, where it holds 56.5%. Gene holds the #98 spot among 106 ranked brawlers in the current meta. On the class breakdown, Gene falls in the Controller bucket alongside the rest of that role's picks. Draft Gene into Shelly (58.5%) and away from Wendy (23.1%); on a team, it does its best work alongside Wendy. Gene also performs well against Nita (54.7%) and Piper (53.7%). Nori is a solid secondary pairing for Gene too, at 62.7% together. Gene is currently one of the weaker picks in the roster; it can still work on the right map, but it's fighting the meta. The Wendy matchup is severe enough that Gene players should consider swapping when it appears on the enemy team. Gene is unusually mode-dependent, the gap between its best and worst modes is over 13.1%, so where you play it matters more than usual. The star power choice is genuinely contested, Magic Puffs (54.0%) and Spirit Slap (46.0%) both see serious play, usually split by mode. Gene is a rare sight at 0.4% use rate, win rates on low-sample brawlers move around more, so read its numbers with that in mind.
