1. Azen: the man who got me into smash. I love watching him, though his videos are very outdated now. He understood so many things about the game that others simply never saw. Plus, hes from MD/VA
2. Taj: Both his Marth and Mewtwo are fantastic. His commentary, overall personality are a great joy to me too. His playstyle is incredibly interesting to me...I am in awe of it every time I see it. Very mental player.
3. Mango: Every match I have ever watched of his, whether in person or on Youtube, has taught me something about the game. His controlled but relentless aggression is something I wish I had.
4. Mew2king: Has been in soooo many good sets. His execution is outstanding. He invented so much...every player owes a lot to his work.
5. Axe: so fun to watch. It takes a lot of skill to invent a character's metagame almost an entire decade after the game's release, but Axe did it. His Falco is **** too.
6. Armada: his punishes are brutal. Takes his character to a level that I never thought possible.
7. Cactuar: a simple, beautiful style of play. Understands what works and what doesn't. Sacrifices efficiency for consistency. I love it.
8. Hax: oh god watch him on a good day. Your world will be shattered. His play is so unique, and so perfect that he is irresistible to watch. Sit down next to him in a tournament while he is having friendlies and watch. You won't regret it.
9. Fly Amanita: I love me a good ICs. Sooo creative. Wonderful spacing, and great mindgames. I just wish he would travel more :/
I'll keep it at that for now. My evaluation goes based on who I most like to watch, not on personality. Or else I would have put more of the people I know personally on there.
