This list has been created by 5 panelists, Peki, bËst, mayhem, Paju and Salevits each representing their own regions. The list has been created to facilitate the process of finding competition, to increase the level of competition by giving people more to play for and creating a positive will to improve, to give both Finnish players and others a chance to see who the top players in the country are, and to simply have a ranking of players; we do play this game competitively and therefore it is understandable to have ranking lists.

To determine a player's placing, the panelists looked at how well this player had fared in recent tournaments. Not only were the placings of a player looked at, but also, and very importantly, the wins and losses of each player. Some common sense was also used. The rankings of players who have not been to tournaments recently suffer. This is only logical, and players who want to be ranked high will travel to show their skill and motivation. For a player to be ranked on the Finnish Power Rankings, they need to reside within the boundaries of the country.

Discussion is acceptable and encouraged, should a list even be created if no discussion was allowed?

The list includes the following information for each player: placing, alias, placing on previous chart, municipality, main character(s). -wmk

The latest Finnish Power Rankings haven't been uploaded to the Smashboards, but I felt like that the rest of Europe should also know the current rankings of Finland so I decided to upload these. I decided to made completely new thread as the old thread's latest reply is from beginning of 2009 and WMK (TelpeFion in smashboards) who made that thread has retired a long time ago.

Awesome stuff there!
And mad love <3 Peki.
Oulu is still somewhat the Smash capital in Finland huh?
Hope to see you guys in a couple of weeks.

p.s. : the finnish scene seems to have improved a lot. Lots of new names there. Congrats to NamiNami for making it into the top 10. Sad not to see Neutroni there tho... too bad he retired. What happened to Ijuka?

Well 3 of top4 players comes from Oulu, but they are also the only players who live in Oulu (atleast I don't remember anyone else living there). I think Tampere area is now the most active part of Finland. Over 1/3 of players who made it to the most recent PR list live there (MasterTK, Mayhem, Paju, RTpmwe, udikku and hopo) and those are far from the only players who live there.

Yeah this list clearly shows the improvement of Finnish skill level. There are more new players on the list than ever(AFAIK) and 5 players on the list came to the scene as late as 2009 (Paju, NamiNami, Salevits, RTpmwe and hopo).

Ijukas latest appearance on the Power Rankings was on the July 2009 where he was ranked as 12. He retired just before/after that (I don't really know for sure as my first tournament was after that PR list had been created) and haven't attended on any tournament after that.

Yeah I spoke to one of your players at BEAST that I was playing friendlies with (I don't think he's on the list; he was a Doc main) and I was surprised to hear how big your community is. Cool!

Hopefully we'll see you guys at future events. If anything we'll probably see you at BEAST2.

By the way, do you guys remember this?

Updated as of July 2012!

Edit: Before anyone asks, NamiNami isn't on the list because he couldn't attend in the latest 2 tourneys due to his army service.
