  • From volatile to consistent in the span of three years, Moist Esports's Paris "Light" Ramirez has become one of Smash Ultimate's most dominant players in 2022. Now with two majors wins under his belt since the end of the WiFi-Era, he's made a strong case at being the United States' best player. What does he owe his success to, and how did Light go from being a player who could lose to just about anyone to seemingly untouchable? Today, we answer these questions and more!

      I honestly don’t see it that way at all.. Ultimate has a huge roster and certain matchups can be very punishing, even if one of the characters is considered low tier and the other isn’t
      fox’s frame data is insane and he’s obviously a very powerful character overall, but he’s super lightweight whereas Ganon is heavy and can delete fox’s stocks with one or two good hits even at low-mid %s

It's like seeing HBox's Melee Ness beat Mang0's Falco it's just stranhe but the fact he's doing so good proves that he's able to move past his missteps and grow from them to become a stronger player.

      "32 second stretch" and "18 landing aerials" in the same sentence is shockingly quick gameplay, especially considering that he seems to consider his timing and mixups for each and every one and, as a result, none of these were punished in the moment. Actual anime character in real life, seeing the battle in slow motion (like we did in the video) is the only explanation XD

    What’s interesting about Fox in Ult is that Japan always thought far more highly of the char than NA did. They thought this before Light became known for eliminating Japanese players(bar Shuton) in bracket, or even before Paseriman rose to prominence as a top 15-20ish level player in the JPN scene.
    Fox having those buffs plus doing well against most of the DLC outside of Terry and Steve went a long way for the char imo. Also some matchups like Joker became easier due to nerfs.

I'm tempted to say Acola from Japan. But we still need to see how well he does against the west. The 5th place is up for the taking I think. There are a couple potential candidates like Kola, Dabuz, Chag, Maister, Gakt, Zomba... And of course Acola in my opinion. Maybe in the upcoming majors we will see someone be notably more consistant than the others. It needs to be someone that can actually beat the other top 4 occasionally.

Clearly training with his friends has clearly worked for him.
