I was traveling with limited internet access, hence the late reply. The article centers around the idea of the "committee" putting in place a world championship. While I agree that it's hard to weigh individual events in our community due to a lack of central organization, this isn't a new idea...

Cloud is still a top tier character, but he has some inherent inconsistent factors and just isn't winning tournaments while various other characters are. M2K is indeed dropping out a lot, but also hasn't won anything major when he wasn't, Tweek has had several disappointing performances in a...

I ended up rebuilding my list from scratch due to the amount of time that passed, EVO etc. Still change my mind a lot, but I feel like I can more or less defend most of my placements.

Syndicate is a Melee and Smash 4 collaboration between the TOs of the main Dutch tournament series, Avalon and GGWP, who have both left their mark with frequent events featuring players from all over the world. It will take place on September 10th and 11th in the country’s central hub for events...

EVO hasn't exactly made things easier. The current metagame still heavily favours the known consistent top threats (Sheik, Mario, Diddy etc.) and character champions (Kamemushi, Ranai etc.). I didn't see much of Sonic and I believe there was no Cloud main in top 16, which is crazy to me despite...

I would think straight ordering is still the default, but for the record: my vote is ordered within tiers.

What do you think Ryu's 'brutal' matchups are? I don't think there's anyone left without a losing matchup, but if his theoretical spread is worse than I'm thinking, I could be persuaded. I will probably move Diddy up, though my opinion on him changes a lot.

Trela actually has some tournament wins and, while Cloud has more high level representation, he was largely absent in the CEO top 16. I think the real conclusion here is that no character has had the chance to be consistent yet and even some of the best characters are too dependent on a few top...

I think that at this point there are no characters without some flaw and/or difficult matchups and that the top 10 characters should all be capable of winning a national or have already done so. Of course, it's still hard to rate this many characters in a game that doesn't get much time to...

Made some major changes (July 24th); ordered within tiers

The Avalon series is the premier Dutch Smash tournament series since 2013. This edition will feature a 128 man singles bracket for Smash Wii U, including Dutch top players. There will also be doubles and an amateur bracket (if time permits). We are always interested in foreign competition and...
