Canada, home to a number of the best players to ever do it in Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, will be heading this weekend's Genesis 4 with a very strong lineup. Wondering who could make at one of the largest Smash events in history? Look no further as here the top Canadians to look out for at Genesis 4.
Smash 64
PG | Daniel " SuPeRbOoMfAn " Hoyt | | The newly-signed Smash 64 icon is not only the best Canada has to offer, but also North America's most dominant force. An easy favorite to place at least top 3 this weekend, SuPeRbOoMfAn has what it takes to take home the gold considering his 2016 resume consisting of wins at nearly every major Smash 64 tournament.
SSBMTL | Marco " TR3GTheZ " Jardak | | Montreal's star and Canada's next best player after SuPeRbOoMfAn, making top 8 at tournaments in 2016 such as Super Smash Con 2016 and SuperBoomed.
N/A | Etienne " HandsomeTom " Gagnon | | The Z's protégé and Montreal's #2 player. HandsomeTom recently made an impressive run to place 7th at SuperBoomed.
Also, be on the lookout for Captain L and Bon .
Melee
ALG EMG | Edgard " n0ne " Shelby | | Canada's top ranked player on SSBMRank 2016 at #18. Coming off two great performances at UGC Smash Open and Don't Park On The Grass, things will be looking bright for n0ne at Genesis 4.
MIOM | David " KirbyKaze " MacDonald | | The legendary Sheik innovator who has come out of semi-retirement with very impressive results such as 4th at Canada Cup 2016, 9th at The Big House 6 and 5th at Eden, taking sets off the likes of Shroomed, Swedish Delight, Dizzkidboogie, MacD and more.
ERG | Ryan Ford | | Rounding out Canada's top 3 is Ryan Ford. While he hasn't reached the same peaks as n0ne and KirbyKaze, his clean and consistent Fox made it to a solid 25th place at The Big House 6.
EMG | Vikram " Nightmare " Bassi | | One of Ontario's rising stars and well-known for his smooth and flashy Marth. Nightmare could go far this weekend judging by his runs at The Big House 6 and Don't Park On The Grass, where he placed 49th and 25th respectively.
Smash Wii U
C9 | Elliot " Ally " Carroza-Oyarce | | Canada's best player, the face of Mario in Smash Wii U and a contender to take the entire tournament. The road will not be easy for Ally at Genesis 4, but his EVO 2016 win is proof he can plow through tough brackets on a good day.
VSB CACAW | Dawson " Big D " Perron | | British Columbia's #1 player and one of the finest King Dedede players in the world. Notably eliminated Mew2King at last year's Genesis 3.
N/A | Landon " Captain L " Trybuch | | Widely considered to be one of the top Pikachu players around, recently besting ESAM in the ditto matchup at Don't Park On The Grass.
UBCEA | Mason " Locus " Charlton | | The now PGR-ranked Ryu from British Columbia stole the show at 2GGT: ZeRo Saga by going on a losers bracket run that included wins over Mr. R, Tweek, Saj, 9B and Seagull Joe.
