Hi guys!
AlmostLegendary, what don't you get about me living in the same region and personally playing the person don't you understand? ![Mad :mad: :mad:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
On a large scale, excluding the atl south region who has personally met him, excluding the zamus community who seen his posts, there were not that many who knew Nick Riddle.
Nick Riddle did not travel, so there is a lot of "he doesn't go OoS" bias towards his skill level, which can happen throughout the zamus community as well. That being said, as a national whole, nick riddle was not that well known. CO18? Yes, Seibrik? Yes, Halberd after he went to Texas? Kind of (Texas is right by ATL South). Nick Riddle? No.
tl;dr - Read my posts; don't skim. Stop giving him credit that he didn't have. His true shinging came from MLG events. That doesn't mean he wasn't good months back, that doesn't even mean that he was known by a few people here and there, that just means he wasn't known well throughout the ENTIRE community back then.

Incase you're wondering why I excluded those areas, the reason is simple. Regions have bias. We have a very good Falco player in our community named Kismet2, since we only experience Kismet2's Falco, and he places well in our tournaments, we feel it's smartest to say that Kismet2 is one of the best Falcos in the nation, if not the best. This is not true in the least, because none of us experienced DEHF, SK92, or anyone of that caliber until late-last year.
Zamus community by itself is small, being one of the uncommon characters to use in the 37 character roster. So even if all of the Zamus community believed that Nick Riddle was hands down the best Zamus, that's still not a lot of people who know that.
