Top Charizard players

[pacha]

I have a couple of questions I hope you guys can answer.

Who is the best smash 4 Charizard player in the world?

Who are the players who are pushing the meta forward and getting results in tournaments?

Where can I find their matches online?

I've been searching the youtubes for good charizard tournament matches for people using more advanced charizard techniques, getting solid reads and taking first. There's a few good ones but that's it. Just a few, and not many with the current patch at that.

Just to get some names on the board here, we know M2K has played charizard and I've seen the matches ANTi has on youtube. But they're not putting out much zard footage lately.

Introspective makes good videos but he's mostly doing online matches, not tourneys.

There's a guy out of UAE who goes by Snack and plays charizard, does pretty well in tourneys and gets the videos posted to youtube.

There's Kit, that's me, and I don't usually make it to finals in the Low Tier Legends stream and not everything gets uploaded to youtube from twitch. There is some material though.

Bloodcross was putting up some nice zard tech a while back, but that was during customs. And he has since switched to Fox, pretty much. He took 17th at EVO but that was mostly with Fox iirc. I took top 3 in my locals a few times last year, but again, a while ago with customs.

Someone else found these and posted them in the Charizard Discord chat, it's a japaneese player who was doing some crazy stuff with Zard. Only 4 games though, not sure if they are tournament games. But none the less it's one of, if not the most impressive Zard I've seen.

I also found this playlist that seems to upload games pretty frequently, not all the games are that great but it's something.

That's actually my playlist. I'm looking to add to it. Once I figure out how to take twitch videos apart and upload the individual sets I'll have more material to add.

Does Usmash first hit do a jab lock kind of forced get up?

Does Usmash first hit do a jab lock kind of forced get up?

Exactly right, as of the last patch.

Exactly right, as of the last patch.

Wow, this I gotta nail down.

Sharpy from Dominican Republic is one of the bestI have seen, DKWill knows him. He probably is going to play later this week vs me in an exhibition this friday. I will confirm the stream link we everything is setup

I knew Bloodcross did really well at EVO but I had no idea he used mostly Fox.
I'm completely lost then.
I'm really just watching Introspective for plays

I placed 5th at a local tourney once but that means pretty much nothing

I play Zard in West MI mainly. I try to go to East MI tourneys once a month or so where they have a bigger scene but here is a channel where our west MI weeklies and monthlies are posted. I go by Shadow and do fairly well with Zard: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaBPOLbB6YDdhX0Atoq2xLw

Sharpy's PRed 3rd in the Dominican Republic and has always placed top 5 (mostly top 3) in about 12 regional-sized tournament's he's attended in the DR (since Wii U Release).

He has played DKWill and gone even with him in a 2 hour set, trading games back and forth against his DK and Sheik.

Unfortunately there aren't exactly many videos of him yet, but that is changing in the future. The Dominican Republic scene is trying to get noticed and have started a campaign of uploading as many videos and getting the word out on their notable players.


Here are some videos of Sharpy:

That's my personal Youtube though. DR is working on uploading all the matches they can to one Youtube account so their players can be easily searched for. Once that happens, expect to see much more videos of Sharpy.
