Calle W is ****! D:<

It's funny that you epople say that most of the rankings lack sense, but you didn't post anything contrary to what we said.

You could go on with that arguement of how "Oh, the pros don't care about it, all that matters is the gold, blah, blah, blah." But if you're not ready to offer your own predictions to back up that statement you might as well not post at all.

I can't help but think you were talking to me, so here's what I think:

1. Mango
Though I wouldn't be too surprised if he lost to Hbox, Armada, M2k or me, it's more likely that he'll win..

2. HungryBox/Armada/M2k/Me
I think our tournament placings are dependant on who we end up facing in the bracket ~ Armada > Hbox > Me > Armada (read > as "likely to beat") and then M2k, who simply goes even with all of us (win or lose).

If I'm wrong about Armada > Hbox, then Hbox is second.

6. Everyone else
I don't know the US scene well enough to say anything about it..

hbox is second in yet, i think mangos falcon, fox, and falco can beat him. Not saying that he doesn't deserve second, i just think mangos on a whole other level

I wana see a top player's opinion on this.

Mango is obviously the best but past that it's hard to say. The melee scene right now is mad hype and competitive.

It will never die

edit: just saw nihonjin's post. word btw your tag is beast. Enter under that one at the next international tournament you **** at :D

I want to expect better of you, but I know not to
lmao, this thread is hilarious but should be closed.

I mean, the only thing that's clear on an international level is that Mango is the best and that the next 4 slots are most likely HBox, M2K, Armada and Amsah in some ordering (but even these next 4 slots would be the source of a lot of contention).

the point is that making an international list based of a grand total of 1 tournament that had serious international attendance in the past 2 years is stupid. I mean, ****, even if we're generous and call Genesis international (despite only Armada showing up from the upper echelons of European play), that's still not even close to enough to seriously try to gauge how international players stack up.

Sufficient gauge or not, it's the only gauge. And it must be gauged! No point to not gauge.

Yeah, I understand mogwai, lol. I didn't expect anything less in your inevitable response. Such lists are purely hypothetical and people shouldn't take it so seriously imo.

though really, M2K/JMan, Lucky/Zhu, PP/Plank/SS/Tope, and DEHF/Hax/DR/Linguini are all just too close to call, so I'm calling personal bias shenanigans on Pocky's list!

Amsah has really long fingers, so does Mango. Does this mean anything?
Click to expand...
its easier/quicker for them to move their finger from one button to another.

which is a good attribute to have in the game of smash.


but I doubt either of them can dustless dashdance, so.....how long are your fingers?

Honestly M2K is amazing if he's able to go even in battle with with you ^, hungrybox, and armada...

My list is as follows

1. Mango
2. Armada (pretty sure he would beat hungrybox)
3. Hungybox
4. M2K
5. Amsah (only because he hasnt't played Jason in tourney yet, and from what Iheard m2k's marth 3-1 amsah's sheik)
6. Calle W (probably)
7. Dr. PP
8. Jman
9. Shiz
10. Col Bol
11. Chu Dat
12. PC Chris
13. Darkrain
14. SS
15. Kage

In a perfect world where character matchups are thrown out the window and only skill is considered

1. Mango
2. M2K
3. Armada
4. Amsah
5. Hungrybox

I suspect Amsah would be able to have a good go at Hbox or Mango once he has more experience with those two top level puffs. He did ok against Hbox, but ok isn't good enough for one of the easiest characters to rest in the game. Games close in skill get skewed massively by a couple of mistakes.
