This is a long explination. Skip to the end if you want the run down.
Everybody heavily involved with the melee competition knows the list is good. the only ones who have arguable room for movement is sloth (will no doubt go higher given more tournaments), josh (if he puts his tournament nerves behind) and chris.
I think I've played every single player in qld besides zac, I know pretty well how good each player is. I feel like Josh is really good but sloth part of the reason josh does so well against me is that I get ***** by peach and sheik, peach cuz im bad and sheik cuz its a bad matchup for falcon. I take matches from ryans falco, marth, and fox, but his sheik dominates me.
Sorry Josh I'm not taking anything away from you, i feel like everybody below kas is so closely placed on the rankings that we could all change at any moment, but im just giving a reason as to why you do well against me, I'm not sure how you do against other players cuz I've never watched you. But I do know you are insanely good.
Chris shouldn't be moved up to super S star ranking, hes really **** good yes and can compete with the best, but hes never gone to a tournament and omgwtf ***** everyone, besides in teams, i dunno why people think he should be moved up above me and sloth? o.O.
Moose is insane, sorry dif, but part of the reason moose has a bad tournament run is exactly what kas said, he just doesnt give a ****. He actually practiced with me and ryan before squat and i can safely say that he deserves his spot on the list for sure.
The one that I'm not sure about is sloth, but more tournaments will secure his spot for sure. I can't compare my spot with him by vsing him because he ***** me 100x over, like I said he is the anti rob, but I know that I do really well against ryan, and Ben and my tournament matches have always been close in the past, and should be even closer now (although ben has gotten way better it seems).
TO CUT A LONG POST SHORT
Places on melee panel are perfect. leave them as they are, ben knows what is up. have a feeling they will change in the near future though, with the return of zac and sloth, who knows what will happen.
