I went ahead and took a closer look at Melee singles pools results. Although everyone knows they don't matter that much and pool difficulty/sandbagging will skew everything, it's still fun to look at while we speculate on singles and who's playing at their very best.
So I took the liberty of finding the total pools record for every good player I've heard of that probably most other people have heard of too. Yeah, so check out the list, and more hype.
Also, there were mostly 7-player brackets, but there were a handful of 6-player brackets.
