Alright so here's the deal. The top 100 players thing kind of took a dive with some hardcore negative reactions to the idea of ranking players before Genesis 3. Well Twitter is buzzing again and asking for a top list. I wanted to revive the project to be done right at the end of 2016 moving into 2017 but as MIOM likes to do updates mid summer (or how Tafo likes to do little things like a Melee PR on Redbull eSports) I think it's time we took a stab at this again. I'm going to quickly make a list of people worth voting on. These are all names you prooobably should know by now. A bunch will be at POUND 2016 as well. Watch the heck out of that event. Check out my list, see if I'm honestly missing anyone who could potentially be top 25, we vote, I'll make some nice blurbs... BOOM. Ready for this?

Now when looking for names to add, let's keep in mind THIS IS A TOP 25. I already stretched it thin with these 50. If you want to suggest someone PLEASE make sure it can be backed up. Folks who visit the states enough to be able to rate.

ALSO pop names in here from that list that stand no chance. I see no reason to make voting much harder than it already is. I just popped in 50 relevant names, let's get them down to reasonable numbers, like 30-35.

Let's do this. After Pound 2016 I want the list finalized by APRIL 4th so they can start having discussions and be voted on the rest of the month. Let's make this project happen guys!

How did you go about choosing these names? Was it just names you knew? I know not all of them are meant to be on the final list, but I'm a bit shocked by names like C3P0 and The Wall.

A lot of em people I knew, others at the top of power rankings. It's a solid enough list to at least work with for who needs in/out. It's why I asked for input though for sure.

Edit: As a worthwhile note, some folks in a big S4 facebook group are making name suggestions too for who to keep/remove.

The main suggestion that comes to mind is Komorikiri, who is currently ranked #1 on the eSports Runner Japan PR. I'm well aware that his US tournament history is quite limited (being that he's been in the US for about a week's worth of time) and his main US result was 17th at GENESIS 3. Despite that, I find it major enough to warrant his inclusion.

-Zinoto

Tyroy (Bayonetta)

-Hyuga

What have Ned and Tyroy done? I've never even heard of Ned, and only heard about Tyroy once for Bayo? On that note is there certain criteria that needs to be met to be on the list?

What actions should we take now that it's post-Pound? The list looks solid.
