Beating KoreanDJ alone gives Darc a solid argument for Top Ten, even if he isn’t on my list. As the best Melee player in Maine, Darc also took sets off fellow New Englanders in Cort and KoreanDJ, along with sending PC Chris to losers bracket at IVesticle. Darc, however, was quietly always one of the world’s best players and in 2007 had a good case as its most consistent Jigglypuff player. Older smashers might think of Mango or The King. When smashers think of Jigglypuff, they usually think Hungrybox. According to ssbwiki, the legendary Dutch Sheik main did not lose a single tournament all year, finishing first at every tournament he entered, with only a single dropped set to Helios. However, based on his performances in Europe alone, Amsah might have been the most dominant in-region player on the planet. With that said, let’s start with each of our honorable mentions (we made sure not to repeat anyone) before we get into our list.īecause we have little data against Americans from him to work on, neither of us thought it was fair to put Amsah on the list. Otherwise, feel free to do the research yourself and come to different conclusions. If you have any more results you’d like to tell us about, please tweet at or contact us in another way (particularly about FC Diamond, where the bracket was lost).

We understand that our head-to-head numbers are only exact according to what we’ve found, so feel free to consider this a “living piece” and not be too offended by our rankings. Moreover, all the records we’ve compiled are according to just the data we’ve collected so far. We’ll be doing this for each year up to 2013, when Melee It On Me started the regular SSBMRank.mĪs people who have only known of the scene since Apex 2013, we are not definitively the experts of smash history nor are we perfect Melee analysts. Michael “Catastrophe” Forde and I worked on a “RetroSSBMRank” for 2007, figuring out whom the year’s Top 10 players were. To players whose knowledge of the competitive Melee scene comes from the “smash documentary:” there might be a few missing pieces in your knowledge of Melee history.
