Top Players & Videos by Character

[Rizner]

Yeah a bunch of us who play there (esp. me) aren't used to fighting Zelda at all. Over time we'll adopt to the match up and our matches with him will be a better reflection of his skill.

Yeah, and I expect he will also adapt pretty quickly and get a lot better as you all push him for it, too. Looking forward to seeing more zelda stuff, too

I'm pretty practiced against Zelda at this point, having played His, Zhime's, yours, Wolf's, and some other locals'. I think he's really really good. He might not do the cute din's fire stuff that some of the keepaway flowchart zeldas are doing, but he understands her fair/bair better than any other zelda (Zhime included). On top of that, he gets really good punishes off of all the Zelda stuff.

What about fair and bair does he know better? Also he played pretty unsafe at times, and got punished himself. I don't really understand what it is you're saying he is better at :-\

Landing the sweetspots, which when understood, ups her kill power to ridiculous levels.

 

[Hinichii.ez.™]

When am I going to be on this list?

Gimme yo Skype son

 

[KayB]

I'd like to see him play different people and MUs. He's clearly mastered (or at least is very experienced at) the Ness MU and, like most top players, does reasonably well against good Fox's and Marth's. I'd have to see him play more MUs and people and go in tournaments outside of Smashing Grounds before I can even consider him to be better than Zhime. I hope you understand that.
Like Rizner said, it's also possible that many in your region are inexperienced at playing the Zelda MU. While you are experienced, players like Zoso and the like may not be.

 

[The_NZA]

I never argued he was better than Zhime. Just better than Rizner. I put him solidly as second best Zelda right now.

But personally, I'd also put Salem above Rizner. Once again, this is based on my Apex experience of playing both Salem and Rizner. Although, like you said, 1 matchup doesn't mean that much.

 

[KayB]

I'd have to see results from both because I haven't seen any from either for some time.

 

[Oracle]

Its korean dj there should be no doubt in his skill lol. Have you even seen the smash documentary?

There was a time when he was the second best melee player in the world, haven't you ever heard of KoreanDJ?

Oh i guess oracle beat me too it, but really tho KoreanDJ is super good

 

[Jolteon]

KoreanDJ is a pretty good smash bros player.

 

[Deleted member]

Didn't his mewtwo beat SB at apex?

 

[Oracle]

Yeah but m2 is broken hes got like 150 sp.att and leanrs like every move

 

[Nguz95]

He's the OG Uber

 

[Hinichii.ez.™]

Do you even interwebs

154 sp attack and mew is the one that learns all the moves

Where did you get your information? The back of a cereal box?? Mew can't learn every move in the game.

 

[Hylian]

This is not the place for pokemon discussion.

 

[Nguz95]

You're not that scary when you only have three ribbons...

 

[Spralwers]

Be on the lookout for VWins's Ike. He was beating m2k's spacies 70:30 at polybash.

 

[Nguz95]

I guess he dropped Ivy then. Why Ike I wonder?

 

[The_NZA]

Didn't his mewtwo beat SB at apex?

KDJ's Ike beat SB's Ike in a money match.

 

[Spralwers]

He says he's a lot of fun to use, the speed and power. I had the honor of getting bodied by him in pools. 3 stocked both matches. In teams, him and his teammate (Pest) went double Ike, pretty entertaining to watch.

 

[Nguz95]

@ metroid1117 , who do you play more nowadays, Ike or Charizard?

 

[metroid1117]

I play Ike more than Charizard nowadays, but I've been so inactive as of late that I don't think I should be in the running for any of those characters.

 

[Mr.Pickle]

We've meet. I spent the weekend at KO's place for KiT a while back. I was the brown guy who wasn't kman or ignori.

Ha ha ok got ya, and yeah maybe, I never heard of pb&j until KIT, but I figured I'd mention him because I was under the impression that he has been in the community for a while

When am I going to be on this list?

You've got my vote broski

 

[Strong Badam]

KDJ's Ike beat SB's Ike in a money match.

It was very manly.
Probably the problem. I'm far too feminine for such things these days~

 

[CyberMario]

Samus - ESAM, Plup, Vanguard

Dittos:
Vanguard vs Boot.elf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4g7GhqlX68

I don't believe Vanguard and Boot.elf did a very good job representing Samus. Both of them SD pretty badly and didn't play well. Instead, I recommend Dyna Dash. This person has friendlies recorded and has a great Melee Samus history. Here are all the recordings I've found on Dash.

DynaDash:
Vs Fuerza Don (Ganondorf)
Vs Guldo (Yoshi)
Vs Muhsoce (Sonic)
Vs Muhsoce (Sonic) 2

Unfortunately, I can't put up anyone that doesn't have results on an already full list. I can put his videos up though. Regardless as to whether or not he's better than Vanguard, I still need results or at least a battle history. It would be unfair to the people already on the list.


Also, 7 months of working on this thread and trying to keep it up to date, and the OP finally got it's first like. Glad to see someone cares.

 

[Hinichii.ez.™]

I don't know how good the people are he plays, but he had a lot of videos of himself slapping some guy named guldo... That guy was not good, at all. to get on the list, you usually gotta beat some high caliber players and place in some tournaments. I could see him getting honorable mention though.

 

[G-Rabbit]

I'm not one for self promotion usually, but I think that I should be considered as a top Kirby player now. I've been placing well with him here in Texas and playing well against other top players. I think many other Texas players would vouch for me at this point.

Here are some videos for consideration:
Vs. Denti http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew9oFbuc0h0
Vs. Abstract Logic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzlmQUP_S7E

 

[Deleted member]

I've played G rabbits kirby.... It's aight
Theres pretty much NO kirbys that are legit right now. I don't even think chu's is near what kirby could be. G rabbits got a looooot of improvement ahead of him but I think he's solid enough to consider.

 

[DMG]

Kirby Dash attack is a weird character

I've made significant improvements since PARG2 (when those videos were taken). My last sets against Denti and AeroLink were much closer at the last San Antonio monthly. But I do agree that I still have room for improvement. The main reason I feel I deserve consideration as a top Kirby player is largely due to lack of representation for the character, but I have been placing well with him in a competitive region and I'm getting better every day.

 

[KayB]

I'll get to it soon. I'm a bit exhausted at the moment.

 

[Juushichi]

So... uh. Why isn't Carls on the Top-3 list for Wario? People talk about Pink Fresh being on there for getting 17th, but Carls beat him pretty free. And wins tournaments in this region. Was a close set vs Zinoto away from Top-8 at Shuffle (who he has beaten in the past).

Soul Pech is probably the 2nd best (only other) Jigglypuff player as well. Though he's not played him in 3.0, he's never lost to Solharath and 1) Made Ripple switch off of DDD so he wouldn't lose to him at Shuffle V and 2) was still one input away from beating him anyway.

JT (Sonic) is also close to being up there. Solharath can probably vouch for him.

 

[NightShadow6]

If this counts as anything for charizard, got a set recorded.

I don't know about them because I didn't see the Shuffle V stream and their match videos weren't uploaded by VGbootcamp. If you can link me to their vids, that would be optimal.

 

[Apollo Ali]

As a Link player, I also second Wolf as a top Link. The man is gonna go places.

 

[KayB]

I need more than that. I need links to results and videos. It's hard to rank anybody if you just say their name.
