Current Top 20 (including mains for everyone I know; please correct me if I'm wrong on any, or if there are any co-mains I missed):
8/25/2015

1. SaSSy
2. SMS Platypus
3. Haruki
4. Magik
5. SMS Savage
6. TheRusBus
7. MikEffect
8. DozingLeaf
9. Blue Ninjakoopa
10. Gova
11. Zay
12. AoS | MassKirbycide
13. AoS | Grandi
14. Alex
15. Ashen
16. Braun
17. Scrub
18. SA Face
19. SB | Locuan
20. Ditto

Slipped another rank after dropping a close set to Zay. He and I have been going back and forth lately, so I'll get him next time!

As for the character breakdown, not much changed, but Alex's return to the top 20 brings a ZSS back into the mix, and drops Yellowcake's lone Yoshi. Here's the breakdown as it stands:
3x
2x
1x

Its awesome that you do this Kirbycide!

 

[Comboman77]

Yeah! We can all see how bad we are! /s

Power Rankings are awesome, I hope to get top 20 one day.

Luigi is just too good.

Sounds like SOMEBODY JUST HAS TO GET GOOD.

Not sure yet when I'll be visiting Austin. My girlfriend has never been, so we're definitely planning on coming down sometime. Most likely won't be able to until next year, though. I only get 3 weeks off for work, and I'm saving all the time I have left for Christmas vacation.

My futon is always open though.

Tournament in Kingsville on Halloween. Smash 4 and Melee, potential Brawl event.

[Sky Pirate]

A couple of misconceptions that I've heard on stream:
1. I don't really go into matches thinking "I have to get through this guy to get to this other guy".
2. I pick Duck Hunt often when I don't know what else to pick because it's comforting (if I wasn't 100% Oli, I'd use DHD as well).
3. The pikmin pluck order is Red, Yellow, Blue, White, Purple. RYB are actually the order you find the pikmin in the original Pikmin. I can't remember why white comes before purple. You get purples before whites in Pikmin 2.
4. I like plants and I like sleeping, so... "DozingLeaf". =w=
5. 99% of the time, the charged smashes aren't because I'm thirsty for a kill. Sometimes it's just to shield pressure or put it into the opponent's head that I might charge a smash. Olimar's smashes can be verrrrrrry safe.

A couple of comments:
1. RusBus is scary as hell.
2. MikEffect's quite smart. He kept using stray pikmin to set up PK Fire to approach.
3. Alex is a pretty nice guy and his ZSS isn't half-bad.
4. Ashen has a Luigi, and Braun also plays Bowser.
5. MassKirbycide, I actually had a question for you about something you do when you play. I'll ask later though, as I'm not sure if that was just something you were doing that night.

Sounds like SOMEBODY JUST HAS TO GET GOOD.

$100 MM ZIGSTA V. GOVA!?

With the help of Mr. Game & Watch, I beat Zay again last week and moved up a rank back to 11th. Not much changed overall, but Emuser's Meta Knight has joined the ranks! Also, Haruki took over the top spot, once again showing that Austin is too free. T_T

Here's the character breakdown as it stands:
3x
2x
1x

Man I don't wanna rob Nick of his money. That just wouldn't be nice.

I think he can take you now. :o

8. DozingLeaf

WOO! Maintaining the status quo!

With the help of Mr. Game & Watch, I beat Zay again last week and moved up a rank back to 11th.

GJ! Zay's pretty good, too! He has such good control of his character.

Haruki took over the top spot, once again showing that Austin is too free. T_T

DUDE, NO! Austin's not free, Haruki's good.

 

[Gova]

You get outta here with your fully invincible up smash!

 

[Zigsta]

It's not fully invincible silly.

WHICH IS WHY I'D TAKE YO MONAY.

 

[Gova]

WHICH IS WHY I'D TAKE YO MONAY.

It is fully invincible!

I USED ROCK THROUGH IT AND BOWSER DIDN'T EVEN TAKE DAMAGE!

 

[Magik0722]

Zigsta's right, its not invincible. It's something else entirely that acts pretty much like invincibility.

 

[Gova]

So... it's invulnerability.

 

[Zigsta]

It's called Shell Armor. Any of Bowser's shell attacks have it. If you attack just the shell and not Bowser's body, IDGAF about your move.

 

[Comboman77]

It hurts Shulk's counter a lot

 

[Gova]

It's rock! It hit his entire body!

 

[Magik0722]

So... it's invulnerability.

Majority of the time,yeah its pretty much exactly like invincibility. However if you use a transcendent hitbox, their armor hitbox wont react with it and they'll be hit.

 

[Comboman77]

ayy I'm coming down tonight hopefully

somebody play me pls I'm trash

13. Psyche
14. Emuser
15. Zay
16. Scrub
17. Ashen
18. Alex
19. Peru
20. Uho


SaSSy reclaims the top spot (not sure how that works; Haruki won the tournament, yet dropped a spot because he lost to MikEffect. Seems a bit weird, but whatever!), so Austin is officially not free again! Comparatively big shakeup in the character frequency this week, as Psyche, Peru, and Uho enter the rankings for the first time this season, dropping Face, Braun, and Locuan from the Top 20!

Ultimately, it's a ROB and Sheik world out there; here's the character breakdown as it stands:
3x
2x
1x

 

[Blue Ninjakoopa]

Now it's safe for me to solo main Mario.

 

[The Wall]

See you boyz this Saturday, hope yall got plenty of Yoshi practice.

 

[Comboman77]

Also, where are the doubles stuff at?

 

[mattatat]

[Shiken]

Ugh, garbage placement again this week. ~_~ I need more practice...

 

[Sky Pirate]

I was supposed to team with KillX, that Palutena fellow whose name escapes me ATM, and Zay, but my father's wedding is the Sunday after and I'll be busy. ><

[Locuan]

thanks

Yes. Mainly the TCG though. I loved gen 6 with X and Y which I played competitively. But ORAS kinda disappointed me in the competitive aspect.

We gotta play sometime, it's been about a year since I've played Gen 6 competitively but I'm down to battle every once and a while.

while we're at it we should smash too, my Marth could definitely learn a thing or 5 from your Lucina.
