Post your best results with links to the tournament page, mention your placings and mention some notable players there.

The regions and its strength & difficulty will be written above the players. A region rated 5/5 would mean placing in the top 8 would be more difficult than a region ranked 1/5.

A tournament placing with one star (*) next to it means the tournament was a national or a big regional and consisted of many top level players with an attendance of 250 or less. A tournament placing with two stars (**) next to it means the tournament was a major and consisted of many top level players with an attendance of over 250. These types of tournaments are 5/5 in strength & difficulty (E.G Adom has a 1/5 region, but placed well in these star tournaments).

Power Ranked Ganons:

1.) Adom - Ranked 1/8 (Region Strength and Difficulty = 1/5)
2.) GanonTheBeast - Ranked 5/10 (Region Strength and Difficulty = 3/5) Moved Down.
3.) Opana - Ranked 3/12 (Local Region Strength and Difficulty = 3/5) Moved up!
4.) A2ZOMG - Ranked 10/17 (Local Region Strength and Difficulty = 2.5/5) NEW

Awhile back, and the only notable player there was Boss who I lost to.

Only other thing I've attended was a Wii U launch day round robin, nobody really notable there but I had won all but one set and came in third due to dropping a game in two other sets. Was at HBA, they sponsor Angel Cortes and others I believe. Lost to Egregore, a good MM but he hasn't been able to venture out enough to really become notable afaik. I can't find this challonge sorry to say, nut it was a Round Robin so it's not that big a deal lol.

Do online tourneys count for anything?

EDIT: For the challonge provided, I used Ganondorf primarily but a few others at the time, mainly Shulk in a game here and there.

Didn't realize we had one of these >.>.

Copied from the social thread:

Just won a local tournament with a couple of the PR members in attendance. Except for two matches I went Luigi, all Ganondorf.

1st out of 32
http://challonge.com/TGZ_Smash4_Singles

I had a lot of sloppy moments, but I'm pretty proud that I just played very straight forward and got the job done with the original dark lord. Hope to keep placing for all my Ganon homies in here :)

Ahh, not a bad idea! I'll have to dig up the exact numbers, but the tourneys were always between 45-55 entrants, so I'll just say 50. When I say "notable," I'm going by either top 5 PR or people who place top 5 but don't attend enough to be ranked.

1) 3/50. Notable wins: Dr. Robotnik, Shiny, Zerxion. Notable players: iCraq, Jamnt0ast, Kimidori, Shiny, Robotnik, Zerxion

2) 4/50 (customs). Have to look up more info on this one, can't remember too well.

3) 3/50 (customs). Notable wins: Wangz, Dr. Robotnik, Zerxion. Notable players: Shiny, Wangz, Jamnt0ast, Kimidori, Twin, Zerxion, Robotnik

Went to a Tucson tourney yesterday with a few PR members:

4th / 33 | Notable wins: Smiley, JA3 Notable players: PG | SS, Andrew_Ryan, Smiley, JA3

Honestly I think my only disappointment was getting 4th as I think I could've taken 3rd. It was a super close set. Otherwise it's really nice to see other Ganondorf's doing well at tournaments. Keeps my inspiration up :)

17th / 33 yesterday. Notable players: Toronto Joe, DKBill, Gains, Chris, Blank

http://emg.challonge.com/sot19s4

Not much but it's progress. I'll keep coming back here with more results

EDIT @ 18 September: 9th/22 last night. Notables: Yoh, V115, IceNinja, Toronto Joe. I'm looking for Challonge link.
Unlike my previous Smash on Tap appearances, I played entirely Ganondorf without any Lucina play. First matchup was a Ganon ditto that I won; ET is a pretty good ganon but I ate him alive with all the times he whiffed FAir in neutral. Second round match was against V115 and that sent me to losers, where I made a bit of a run before losing to Jell0, a pretty legit local Villager.

For those curious, Ray Kalm and I have not entered any tournament together, nevermind played against each other. Ideally I want that to change so that I can learn some things, but I'm in a bit of a tough monetary spot so oh well. Maybe in a few months.

Here are some results I'm less proud of. It's probably healthy to share the ones I feel I should have done better at.

9th / 49 Notable Wins: none, Notable Players: PG.Timmy, Doc, Shiny
http://challonge.com/Smash4_Singles_8_22_15
Not much to say on this one, just didn't perform up to snuff. Placing wise it doesn't look terrible though lol.

3rd / 58 Notable Wins: Saiki, Doc Notable Players: Shiny, Giant, Saiki, Doc
http://challonge.com/Smash4Singles9_15
I am reeeeally upset with this one. I just wanted that 1st bad. I had a rough start against a Megaman, but pulled through. I had some good wins throughout, but lost in winner's semis juuuuuust barely, then lost pretty convincingly in loser's finals.

Fun story from this tournament: for my match against Saiki (a very solid Sheik) I went Luigi immediately because I saw him lose to a Luigi earlier in bracket, and I just really wanted the W at this point. I did okay, but ultimately lost. I then switched to Ganon, thinking I was probably the dumbest person alive for doing this. I brought it back with the dark lord to win the set. I successfully CPd Sheik with Ganondorf...lol.

Some more results from this weekend.

7th/54 Notable wins: Doc, Mr. Quentinn Notable players: PG|SS, Apa, Wulfn, TSS, Doc, Mr. Q, Saiki, SolidMid

http://challonge.com/FD1Singles

I'm pretty happy with this one, as I got top 8 in a bracket with a couple killers and a lot of solid players in between. I think I still should've pushed for better, but I got to commentate a lot of matches including grand finals so I'm pretty pleased.

I'll post the matches I got on stream in vids.

I was recently at a local tournament in Vancouver, where Firefly (the canadian Yoshi that took 5th place at PAX) was competing. He had knocked me into losers bracket earlier on in the night and we met up again in Losers Semis, and this was the match


Here's a link to the full Challonge. It's only a local, not a big tournament, but it also featured Captain L, who some people may know as BC's second best player and an amazing Pikachu

5th/30 Notables: No one.

4th/20 Notables: LawOfFate.
I actually started in losers (despite what the bracket says) due to issues with Challonge. I had Losers Semis in the bag but lost as a result of not knowing the Mii SF MU that well. Will probably do much better next one of these.

I haven't posted results in a while, mostly due to me trying out Roy and working on other things. But I definitely had a few solo Ganon tournaments I can post:

2nd/26 Notables - Saiki, Kallor
2nd/26 Notables - Saiki, Wulfn
2nd/38 Notables - Saiki, Yoshiken, Wulfn, TGZ Shiny

Losses to Saiki (Sheik) each tournament. AZ is getting incredibly strong o.o

We posting dubs too?

As for notables I have no idea lmao. My region is tristate though and there were some good players, these come to mind if it matters:

Calm, NiGHTs, Ophy, Goolick, Egregore

Oh and my 3rd placing I went Ganon and then Roy for two games of losers finals, my 1st placing I went all Ganon.

Consistantly top 3 in the locals I've attended since my last post except when I used Cloud and got 5th.

Got 17th out of 53 at a stacked tourney that had 6wx, adhd, angel cortes(I took a game in tourney, frozen, and various hba players. I lost to Angel and Bow who is #9 on I believe the staten island pr and the second best luigi there after gohan.

***Question: Notable players as in players I fought, or players that were just there at the tournament that seem good or known? I'll edit this accordingly.
Tournament results since early February. Can't provide much detail on who was tough that i fought and why, but at least the numbers are here:
1) 5th/16 Notables: Dugan, Gunblade, Shippo , Jflex ,
http://hitboxarena.challonge.com/fridaynightsmashmashup3smash4

2) 3rd/20 Notables: Dugan, Gunblade, Omega,
http://hitboxarena.challonge.com/fridaynightsmashmashup4smash4

3) 7th/21 Notables: John Numbers, Dugan , Snakeee, Arhungry
http://nucleusgg.challonge.com/THURSS4S4_11

4) 3rd/39 Notables: Jet (notable only because he's head of smash club there and wins all tournaments they hold, and is at the top of the Union County Power Rankings)
http://challonge.com/xpt3t5ss

5) 3rd/61 Notables: Omega, Fullofdream , TAG , RekRD (aka RekRP I think) , Emukiller (lol)
http://njitgc.challonge.com/HIUXSm4sh

6) 5th/32 Notables: shadowfax , apple
http://challonge.com/friendsmash9

7) 5th/19 Notables: Chaos, Tokyo, RUSH
http://smashboards.com/rankings/chaotic-neutral-weekly-smash-4.12251/event?id=8
http://chaoticneutral.challonge.com/ssb4weekly3_7

8) 5th/30 Notables: Angel Cortes, Dugan, Omega, Jet, Shippo,
http://hitboxarena.challonge.com/fridaynightsmashmashup9smash4

Really had to dig deep for some of these challonge links. Tried to find bracket links on smashboards but I guess most of these TO's decided not to.
Matchups I'm helpless at:

Diddy(#1 for me)
Luigi (manageable but good Luigis just wall me out with fireballs and grabs)
Robin (Zoning is way too good)
Villager (though i usually best villagers in tournament, those tools are nasty) .
Sheik (Though pre-last-patch I started beating them mostly after a long period of trial and error).

Rosaluma and ZSS I don't have much trouble with, surprisingly, despite the smashboards post talking about ganon's worst matchups. ZSS can really trash ganon for sure, though, with those combos. Yeesh.

Some minor player info, to understand notability more, from what I can remember:
Dugan : top 10 power rankings in NJ. Fox player. Usually gets top 3 or 1st at most locals he goes to
Gunblade: You already know.
Omega: Gets top 3 consistently. Plays Bayonetta
John Numbers: Probably best or only Wii Fit Trainer player that's known besides TK Breezy (Sp?)
Fullofdream: Amazing Robin Player. Pretty much made me realize that Robin is probably top 5 in Ganon's worst matchups. TAG: I think he mains only metaknight, since Spring of last year.
Angel Cortes : I believe he plays at the regional level. Diddy and Sheik player from what I remember. I'd say top 5 in NJ power rankings.
Tokyo: Ness player , now plays Luigi and Corrin
Chaos: Bowser/Lucina player now plays Sheik

Just got done with Smash it Out 14.
Finished 9th which I'm not quite happy with but I'm happy about beating Twister the best RosaLuma player in our region (who actually beat Ray Kalm recently, although mostly my fault for giving him so much Dorf experience) and Noe3, the best Mega Man player in our region. I also had 2 really close games with Arch who's a godlike Palutena player.

Other Notables:
K.I.D. Goggles
San
PikaPika
KiR
Draxsel
Champ
Tac
Bug Dr.
Soulsur

It was a pretty stacked bracket this time. A lot of really good players showed out today.

Oh wow I've played Arch before too, he really is a great tena I can confirm that. I lost 2-1 and 3-1 both times we've fought(admittedly I was tired in our recent set because of pokken running things later though.). I'm glad I'm not the only one who's fought him lol, he's real solid fundamentally. He beat Gohan back in November and apparently almost took out San, wow.

Yeah that was a stacked bracket, impressive showing Deotay. I heard you had a win over pugwest too, idk if you're there yet but I think you should at least be A tier or B tier by this point imo.

Thanks Opana, I really appreciate hearing that from you. You're actually a huge reason I did well against Twister because I've been heavily referencing footage of you and Ray Kalm in an attempt to make certain areas of my play more aggressive.

The Arch vs San match was the highlight of the tournament. Actually, it's funny because after Arch got knocked out we played some friendlies and the first thing he talked about was your Ganondorf and if I had heard of you. This is the first time it occurred to me that you were somewhat close by, lol.

I can't translate that on mobile so I'm curious how solid they are. Other than pon it doesn't seem like there's much to go off of though. I do wanna say though I think Pon and Gungnir should switch places on the tier because Pon has some more recent results. Him abd gungnir are both real skilled though, and I know my opinion is probably unpopular lol.

Appreciate the links though gleed despite not being ableto understand them, gonna assume they're good though of course.

No, you are on spot with your opinion. Vermanubis Vermanubis and others agree that Gungnir is lacking the criteria to stay in S tier. It's only A2ZOMG A2ZOMG who has him up there as of right now. Pon is more credible.

I'd even put you and Adom above Gung.

Ray_Kalm Ray_Kalm , you forget, priority of ranking is PRIMARILY videos/gameplay critique > tournament results > anecdotal evidence.

And there's a very good reason for that, otherwise we would be arguing to put Jile and GtB in about roughly the same tier position. Regardless, I have actually been thinking of switching Pon's placement with Gungnir's for some time given he has gotten observably better at the game. It's not really an unheard of opinion at this point, probably thought of it long before anyone else frankly.
