    I totally agree with those old-school players being ranked WAY too high. M2K should have been 4th, leffen 5th, pp 6th. Ken could still be top 10 but like, M2K being top 5 for over a decade beats ken imo.

      Leffen has been top 4 since 2015 top 6 since 2014.
      He has 3 s tier wins.
      Ken was the best player in the world for 2 year's when there were like 200 competitive players.

      I'd say ken was the best in the world 2005 and 2006.
      Captainjack was 30 something and ken was 4th.
      Ken was getting bad results at locals in 2014 when leffen was top top 10 proving that he doesn't stand a chance in the modern era.

    silentwolf put out a video a couple years back talking about how he'd pretty much fixed his hand issues, but he wanted to focus on speedrunning and didn't have any plans to return to melee at that time. Assuming his hand issues haven't come back since then, there is still a possibility of him coming back to the game sometime if he finds the motivation.

    I disagree with Hugs on Wizzy’s achievement being the best smash achievement. Mew2king was the best At two smash games twice (2008 Melee and Brawl, and again in 2013 Project M and Brawl). After he lost in Genesis 2 about hours later M2K won Genesis 2 in Brawl in the same day.Mew2king is unquestionably the most dominant smash player by being the most Successful in Smash in various games rather than just one specific game while being top 6 in melee for 15 years.

Also was #2 ranked in 2009, 2013, 2017-2018. Never lost to someone outside of top 6 for 8 years. He was also mangos and hbox’s kyrptonite before he retired. Had a winning record vs everyone.

    Since it’s the greatest of all time and not the best of all time, it’s so interesting to see where people put oldschool players like Ken and Azen. Just like a Pele or Maradona, they were undisputed in their era, but if they played today they would be throughly outclassed. How far should we acknowledge their accomplishment in the context of the time? It’s so subjective and cool to think about. I’d probably rate the old school players a bit lower than this list, but that’s just from my limited casual viewer perspective

    • @awisefool1975
      @awisefool1975 2 роки тому +6

      I completely understand weighting a player's dominance in their own era to make things more fair for old-school players, but it just seems absurd to weigh the early days AS heavily as they did in this list. The "majors" back then were the size of some locals now, and the meta was so under-developed, it's just tough to justify. I think Ken should probably be 10, Azen 12, and Isai maybe high teens or low 20s? Being consistently top 10 for 8+ years post 2010 is so much harder than being top 3 for half that time pre-2008. If it wasn't for the Doc I think the OGs would probably be placed a lot lower.

    7 KEN (one of those days he'll be out of top 10 guys)
    8 Zain (dominance in the most challenging era so far until Mang0's recent performance, less longevity than all above and some below him but still)
    9 Plup (of course Plup)
    10 ChuDat (truly passing the test of time, winning a major in both 2005 and 2017, being a threat for top players all this time)
    11 Axe
    12 Wizzrobe
    13 SFAT (all 11-13 are debatable)
    15 Azen (doing great for a short period of time)

Still, you can't really justify Ken over M2K. M2K definitely had the innovation with expansive knowledge on the game, was 1st for a few years and guess what, he was 1st in Melee and Brawl in 2008 at the same time. M2K's longevity far surpasses Ken, Ken have one of the highest peaks but M2K is still pretty close. Even if we disregard all the works and data he provided on Melee's intricacies,
      M2K is Top 5 for 11 years, 1st in 2007 and 2008

    I don't think it would be too hard to create some form of Melee title. Maybe ranking in just one linear list is just the wrong approach. After all, there's no sense of "gap". We're trying too hard to quantify something that can't be scored in a way everyone will agree with.
    The fact that Armada and Mango are so close in the rankings that it was decided by a single point, I think that proves that there is no single GOAT after all. There are several. That's why we even came up with the term "the 5 gods", because there just isn't an undisputed best.
    The main problem with adopting titles, however is that we get called pretentious by other communities. I say worth, with 20 years under our belt we've earned the right to be pretentious

    I feel like we lend too much to era difficulty. I know that difficulty ultimately makes consistency in an era more impressive, but these old school players could only compete in the scene that existed, there was no alternative for them. What's more, is that running with faster people makes you faster. If Ken was the best at his time (ie. there was nobody better than him to help him improve), then he could not have become better. It feels like we're ultimately judging Ken for the faults of his scene not for his own faults.

And, the disparity is even WIDER in something like Melee, where the growth is allowed to be exponential because there isn't a cap on how many people can enter an EVO or a Genesis.

    Okay this list is insane. There’s no way in hell Mango is ranked above Armada and HBox. Just look at their win records from their time playing. During the god era and even during the modern one, HBox won 9 more majors than Mango with 28 between 2008 and 2018 and is still winning more than him today with 6 major wins since 2019 started to mango’s 3. Armada is a whole other story. From 2008-2018, Armada won 18 majors to Mango’s 19 all while entering less tournaments, and he never had a bad tournament. Armada was insanely consistent for his entire career and spent more time at the top than Mango did. The argument here should be HBox vs Armada for #1. Mango isn’t even in the discussion.

    I don't think that it makes sense to look at the past through the lens of the present. Yes, Ken left before an era that would have challenged him, but the same could be said of Armada. Does that mean that Armada should be rated lower? Absolutely not! Legacy is extremely important. Being inactive should not disqualify a player from being ranked highly. Similarly, being active shouldn't bump you up the list.
    Respect the legacy, respect the eras of dominance.

    I think HBox is the goat but he just had different life priorities. This honestly I think happens a lot like Ken or whoever who reached the top and just said "yeah I don't have that drive anymore" I get it. What's the point of climbing Mt. Everest and than sitting there for 10 years and kicking anyone else who climbs that high in the face. So to me HBox, Armada, Ken I have mores respect that they hit the top and started looking at other life journeys and not just the summit they already reached.

    I just feel like Hugs is missing the point of the list. The list is ranking greatness, and eras aren’t really a factor in that. It doesn’t matter when he played, Ken was the best player in the world for 3 straight years, and it’s absurd to put anyone without a period as world number 1 above him. I certainly don’t think he’s number 4 due to how short his career is, but outside the top 10 is just a bad take. It’s hard to make it past top 15 without major wins, and I think that’s fine. Sfat is amazing, but he’s never had a breakthrough, and that has to be held against him in this conversation.

      I agree, I also believe the list wanted to show how many great players have shaped melee over the past 20 years. I think it is beautiful to shoutout these old-school players because it shows how special the game is. Melee had so many eras and they all deserve some highlights on the list, at least to show how competitive melee has been a obsessive thing for 20 fucking years!
      PS: I also feel like we don't give enough shout-out to old-school players for actually discovering everything in a party game :). It's way easier to get good when you can easily learn what's optimal!

    Anyone who thinks mang0 is above Armada is clearly smoking crack. Mang0 had more than 400-500days without winning a tournament while attending multiple a month. Armada was consistently dominant and had to come from Sweden, stay in the US and when he went back, didn’t have training partners or good tournaments locally, had to keep going back and forth.
    If COVID and Ultimate didn’t happen I don’t think Hungrybox falls off and he’s easily number 2 all time possibly number 1 if he kept dominating til now. Think PPMD should be above m2k and Leffen around there, I think all those guys are equal just like mango hbox and armada are equal. You guys act like mango winning summit is like winning the 20tournamenfs that didn’t take place before that because of Covid canceling them all. It feels you guys are weighing it like that.

If PP was able to be kept around longer he probably would be significantly up there, maybe even way up there (like higher than even hungrybox) but that’s not what we got and that matters. I agree it’s unfortunate, in fact all I think of when I think of PP retiring is how much of an unfair tragedy it is that that all happened to him, but still.

    Yeah, SFAT deserves much better. At one point in time Shroomed, KirbyKaze, Fly Amanita, Hax, Westballz were so good they were called gatekeepers, because just under the 5 gods status... SFAT was always the second gatekeeper.
    And then he stayed in this position after 2015, just outside of gods+Leffen, and then outside of top6 with Plup's rise.
    In the most modern era, he's still there.
    At this very moment, when I think best of the best, there are the usual suspects: Mang0, Zain, Plup, Leffen, iBDW, Wizzrobe, Hbox. And then gatekeepers like SFAT, S2J, Axe and aMSa.
    SFAT deserves top 15, no question
