We definitely are getting more recognition as a viable main, mostly thanks to Snakeee and Claw I think.

If you're talking about the ranking list stickied on our boards.... that is terribly out of date. I'm not sure who is ranked higher but I'm pretty sure Snakeee has a tougher region

He also mains loads of characters. Snakee is straight up ZSS, where as Dazwa uses his other chars.

ZSS has made quite the jump up the tier list! She definitely deserved to move up.

The fact that ZSS does well against Metaknight alone bumps her up a great deal. Not to mention ZSS users have proved to everyone that ZSS isn't just another tether recovery. The more we get around her weaknesses, the more we can show off her strengths.

As for players, I think a lot of regions have good ZSS's showing up in top placements at tournies. I know RareTruffle is powerranked in norcal. Claw of course did really well in that tournament in sanfran. I'm a contender for being PR'd in socal. Not to mention there are more and more ZSS users every day. West coast is finally starting to learn how powerful ZSS can be.

That'S really great for ZSS, I expected her to climb a bit due to how well people where doing with her recently (especially Snakeee), but 5 ranks is awesome :)

The order of the characters in this list is pretty good. ZSS moving up is expected, and encouraging. The only problem I have with this list is that there are NINE TIERS.

What the hell.

Good job!

Next time it would be again a little bit better... ZSS is definitely stronger than Ice Climbers or DK i think ;)


I think, that 9 ranks are very much, too.
But the list is much better than the one before with just 4 ranks.

lol this is my proposal for the new format:
TOP
MK

HIGHER THAN ZSS
Snake
etc

ZSS
Zero Suit Samus

EVERYONE ELSE EXCEPT CF
everyone else

BOTTOM
Captain Falcon

I'm kinda new to these boards, but even I'm fairly sure that you should edit that to ZSS, quickly.

Unless no one really cares anymore.
I saw your post count and I was like "NEW? You have over 1K posts!" Then I saw your join date.
Holy Posting.

Spring and Summer rankings aren't that old. :chuckle:
Unless Snakeee advanced the ZSS metagame incredibly, these results should still hold some merit as to what Dazwa is capable of. Watch some of his tournament matches sometime, he's pretty good. ^^

Spring Rankings:
1. Snakeee (354.75)
2. Dazwa (58.73)
3. Thiocyanide (29.267)
4. RareTruffle (21.1)
5. FadedImage (16.168)

Summer Rankings:
1. Dazwa: (320.6)
2. Snakeee (181.911)
3. RareTruffle (88.204)
4. FadedImage (46.45)
5. Thiocyanide (31.699)

Not to denigrate Dazwa or anything, but over that summer, he played no fewer than five hundred different characters at each respective tournament, so it's hard to say that he was specifically furthering the ZSS metagame.

He's good, but Snakeee has developed most of the tactics currently used by most ZSS mains.

Actually I only alternated between MK and ZSS during the Summer, my bazillion characters thing started in the fall.

The important thing is: money earned factored in way too much into the rankings.

EDIT: It was also impossible for me to advance the ZSS metagame as up until maybe 3 weeks ago there were no videos of me.

Yeah seriously. I placed pretty well in the tournaments I was able to attend while at school (cuz let's face it, there's basically nothing out where I go to school), but nobody ever mentioned me. I guess it's because they figure that when money's on the line people tend to play much harder than for free.

Yeah, that's like the only thing that matters. Depends on whose there, and the money on the line.
