I'd like to see some discussion of the younger players (basically college age and lower) in the scene who are Top 50 and higher material. It's very intriguing to speculate who might be a part of the new generation of elites if the older players were to retire, assuming Melee were to live on, and what that would mean for the Game.

What are your thoughts on players like Wizzrobe, Crush, Syrox, and Zain (idk but could be 23)? Anyone else who you are confident can make it to the top? How will they change the Meta?

Not really sure if they can "change the meta" (AT THIS POINT) if they are in the top 50, unless they are really good. Characters like Ice Climbers and Jigglypuff were once considered low tier until some dudes started winning almost every game with them and nearly winning tournaments with what was once considered a trashy character. Maybe when they get older and more experienced, they can change the meta entirely. Until then, we'll have to see what this new generation of smash holds

Wizzrobe makes me wet. He is the first to truly show the potential of 20GX-style tech chasing, and his mentality is very strong. He is also a huge multi-game talent, honestly better than M2K now for being an indisputable top player in Smash 64, as well as having been the premier sonic in PM in the past.

Zain shows everybody how important pivot is for extending one's punish game in the current meta, as well as using it for extremely slick bait-and-punish movement. Absolutely a monster.
