I find this kind of video so incredible, bridging the gap between the small local scenes and the bigger picture of competitive Smash on a national level.
Great video! I'm from Louisiana and I wanna confirm that Zie is the most consistent player in our Top 3 when it comes to attendance. If we're talking local state PR (excluding out of state performance), I'd say Zie is #1. If we just include instate results and not attendance, then Jordan would likely be #1. Including out of state performance (including H2Hs), Lukewarm would be #1. This is just my opinion though, but its cool to have a Trinity situation going on lol
LA being like that is so sick. we really dunno who the true best is and it makes it interesting 🔥 the 3 headed hydra of zie jordan luke is fun to watch
Awesome to see this series returning! I'd love to see a video of the biggest hidden bosses from each region. Something like players who defend their turn well, or players who struggle in their own scene because of how stacked their scene is, but do great against others. Once again, fantastic video!
More AK info for those interested: Thanks for mentioning Sap1ens. Anchorage actually just released a PR where he was #1. While Fairbanks has the most consistent events (and thus easiest results to track), the Anchorage guys have always consistently shown up at the big events. Results-wise, it’s probably Sap1ens. He’s pretty dominant against most AK players, but did lose to DannyDVito at Show Me your Moose- who was HM on the PR due to lack of attendance. Their H2H is ridiculously close at some 14-15 set count or something and he also is relatively dominant over the rest of the scene (beating Waker at SMYM as well). They’re the clear two frontrunners, but have been a little inactive outside of SMYM. Thanks for shedding light on some of these lesser-known scenes. I know this research is crazy hard.
I appreciate this! Found out about sap1ens very late into the edit or I would’ve shifted the spotlight more towards him. Would love to learn more about the scene!
@@Jazara Nah I get it for sure, and I'm honestly glad the Fairbanks homies get some spotlight. I'm super inspired by the amount of effort and polish in your vids and they're something I would've really appreciated when I was just getting into the scene.
what makes apollokages dominance even more insane imo is how he has this level of it in a region like stl, there are a ton of top players for their character here such as colorondo for inkling and timprater for mewtwo, as well as insane players such as henryluma, yet none of these great players are able to beat him yet.
Arkansas player here! Lamp's results have been on a ddcline lately and he's also taking a break from the game, so Terminus is probably the best, with NoSmo and LumaDooma also being in the discussion.
I’ve been watch you since your “Making Sheik look awful” video, and I gotta say, this is one of my favorite vids of yours! The amazing research and editing made this such an enjoyable watch, and i’m excited for part 2, and for your future!! (Btw, when you get to NY next vid, make sure to include both CNY and NYC)
I played against the snake player from missouri at the first ever local i went to. That was also back when i used to main snake.. dude gave me hella good tips on how to improve my game back then
Can’t wait for next vid when Muteace gets the spotlight for Texas. Also i know this will never happen but it would be crazy if one of our top 10 players and my personal friend Retro gets a mention for Texas as well.
yerrrr shoutout louisiana. i love how our top 3 is so close. tough to call whos #1--i appreciate you shouting them all out! and other players like jade and yat are rrrright there too. i love my scene. cant wait to see greg back up his shit talk too 😳😂 i have full faith in my boy
As an Iowan, I was not surprised to see you divided between Skar and Skittles for best in the state. Heck, in my opinion PeZ seriously deserves a nod for the spot, too. Though Skar has always edged him out by just a bit, it's hard to grasp just how close the two really are if you haven't seen them play for yourself. I can't say for sure who the best in the state is - I honestly think that both Skar and PeZ could easily make names for themselves on a national level if they traveled more, just as Skittles already has.
Light can correct me if I’m wrong, I’m pretty sure Light moved to north Massachusetts. For those asking how I know: “When us from CT were lost in darkness, we found the Light.”
As someone who lives in Maine, I didn’t even think we had a best player, since I know very few people who even play smash in my state. Cool to know we have one though!
every time he was saying bass mage I would say it's base mage out loud and I swear it was like he heard me when he was like "I'm not wrong I interviewed him" and I just smirked and said "my bad.."
As someone born in Missouri (even though I've lived in Arkansas for a long while now), I don't think it's any surprise to see AK as the best. Missouri has a ton of Snake players in general, two others I can think of off the top of my head are Indecisive and BeastlyPianoMan
im a kentucky player and can confirm wildz is easily the best jin probably could have stayed above him if he actually attended shit but jin's employed so it makes it really hard for him to attend regionals & majors
Europe is definitely one I’m looking into for another video 👀 best from every country or something along those lines (idk if y’all have states within the countries in Europe or what I’m not familiar with it out there at all)
@@Jazara we do kinda but it’s to a way lesser scale so you better off just devising it in maybe north south or just 3 best players of each country or something … spoiler alert I’m not one of them sadly :c
Some states do rankings but the ranking don’t always accurately represent the player skill level. The #1 from MN definitely could be their best but I feel like Loafs results out of MN boost him above their other player on my list.
I find this kind of video so incredible, bridging the gap between the small local scenes and the bigger picture of competitive Smash on a national level.
My goal is always to help grow the community in whatever way I can, glad you enjoyed!

Well, Lukewarm just ranked 1st in Louisana so ig it’s him
I had no idea Kirbykid changed his tag, that was the biggest shock I’ve seen.

We NEED an invitational with all the best players from each state/region. That would be so hype
Wish players from the small states like Maine had more oppurtunities to show their talent! Great vid as always!
That's a crisp video. Keep up the great work man, hope the algorithm blesses you someday.

I appreciate the continual support! Wasn’t planning on splitting NY but I’ll have to now, thanks for letting me know the distinction
Chase has been goin crazy as of late, really lookin forward to how he does this year
this kind of video is always lacking in smash content so glad to watch it, you made insane work on this video
This is awesome! Great research. Cant wait for Pt.2!

Very informative, great visuals and a great watch. Keep grinding YT
KOLA REPRESENT
One of my favorite players for sure
@Jazara georgia is just built different what can I say
Been in the competitive scene in Maine for a pretty short time and even I didn't know who the best was so thanks man!

Great video! Also that shiek clip at the end was nasty!
Light can correct me if I’m wrong, I’m pretty sure Light moved to north Massachusetts.
For those asking how I know:
“When us from CT were lost in darkness, we found the Light.”
amazing video man can’t wait for the next one also 98 for 100 wtf AK is crazy
Awesome video, great work!
1:04 shoutout to central stadium, legendary event for us
As someone who lives in Maine, I didn’t even think we had a best player, since I know very few people who even play smash in my state. Cool to know we have one though!
As a Missourian I can confirm, if ak is coming to the tournament it’s a battle for second place
There’s like 0 locals in Delaware in mpgs defense
every time he was saying bass mage I would say it's base mage out loud and I swear it was like he heard me when he was like "I'm not wrong I interviewed him" and I just smirked and said "my bad.."
lmao are you me? i did basically the same shit, vader
SALTONE is back to the Kola tag I think
Great stuff, we apreciate your work
As someone born in Missouri (even though I've lived in Arkansas for a long while now), I don't think it's any surprise to see AK as the best. Missouri has a ton of Snake players in general, two others I can think of off the top of my head are Indecisive and BeastlyPianoMan
Fantastic video!
absolutely CRIMINAL how you pronounced bassmage
It’s the original was he pronounced it. Watch our interview and find out
im a kentucky player and can confirm wildz is easily the best
jin probably could have stayed above him if he actually attended shit but jin's employed so it makes it really hard for him to attend regionals & majors
I am from Germany, I'm really excited when my state will come up :)
Fantastic video. Just fyi it’s proubouced base mage for bass mage
His tag was originally Bass mage like the fish, we did an interview on my channel where I explain it
@@Jazara oh ok
“The best puff in the world” me:”HUNGRYBO-“ Jazara:”Bassmage”
Shard mentioned. Pop off!
When i see kurama signed up at my locals i dont even bother going LMAO
Typos- Connecticuit, Phildelphia, Deleware, Flordia.
Overall enjoyed the video and liked and subscribed.
LOL dang it, photoshop doesn’t have auto correct and I made most of these very late at night
The Alaska segment is wrong. Sap1ens is the best player right now, he has a winning record on probably everyone in the state
I did mention him at least.. 😂😂 dude seems crazy tho
Hoping this hits the algorithm n gets you huge. You deserve it
I appreciate it!
Big respect for putting Jordan for Louisiana he truly is the goat
Man I wished I would go to these tournaments someday so I could my name featured here.
Light moved to Massachusetts I've heard.
I watched your old vid when it came out and this one is also a banger but I would be interisted to see one about europa covering each country
Europe is definitely one I’m looking into for another video 👀 best from every country or something along those lines (idk if y’all have states within the countries in Europe or what I’m not familiar with it out there at all)
@@Jazara we do kinda but it’s to a way lesser scale so you better off just devising it in maybe north south or just 3 best players of each country or something
… spoiler alert I’m not one of them sadly :c
For Delaware, the best player who goes to locals there is emba. He is a beast
cant wait for WV baby
Marss also stopped competing as much during and after the pandemic. Before that he was ranked 2nd on orionrank i believe.
As someone whos had his ass kicked online by bassmage and in person by chronos this is accurate
great video
Can't wait to see the Ohio one! Just subbed
No liquid, solid or gaseous state? What is this? Baby's firt top ten?
Yeah Loaf is good in Minnesota, but I would say that Mastronarde is probably better.
Skittles is def Iowa's best player. Young link/cloud is just reaaaaally in cloud's favor.
AL’s number 1 can arguably be Xerzal.
You don't know how upsetting it is waiting for the Nebraska ranking and the video ends the M's 😢
12:34 RAHHHH YOSEFU
I’m not joking when I say this, I believe I am the best player in Wyoming. Competing has been a dream of mine since middle school
Hilarious that the best player from Louisiana plays the Gator 😂
Unrelated but I don't know any toon link player in the world
Sigma tho
Sigma, spaceminer, jojodahobo, vega
Where's Pennsylvania on the list?
1:23 xerzal erasure
Wait didn’t saltone change his tag back to kola
It’s a cloud player named terminus from Arkansas if I’m not wrong
Nice vid!! Love the series btw
Cool video
Nice video, just a couple of errors on things like spelling (“Delaware” for example) other than that great
5:47 who is zumba ???
My goat smallleft🫶
Light moved to Massachusetts btw
Ty! Was looking around for the spot but couldn’t seem to find it anywhere
How is mute not too in Florida
Light highkey has a point though 😭 Hartford is definitely not what people thinks
Bro i want to challenge the person in texas because I feel like i am good enough
can u make an Brazil version??????? (i know i'm asking to much but it would be cool lmao)
Not too familiar with the area but I can look into it! Might have to DM some players from there haha
How is Anathema better than MuteAce as of now?
Mute lives in Texas right now
MuteAce is in Texas
Wait Tennessee isn't a state listed here? Well well well. Time to grind to the top 😂
Btw Chunky (Wii Fit) and ChunkyKong (The DK showed on screen) are two different people
Ah yeah I was talking about chunky Kong just didn’t feel like saying it lol
@@Jazara ChunkyKong's from Florida iirc
@@lavolon hes living in alabama right now and is ranked on the PR
I’m happy with my Iowa player :3
Skar and Skittles aint got shiiit on me.
If I see Ned I click it’s simple
Pretty sure saltone changed back to Kola lol
Being from New Jersey, it’s pretty easy for my state lmao
jazara where is hong kong
5:47 Is that supposed to be Zomba?
Lmao yeah google docs always auto corrects zomba to Zumba lmfao
The Dragon Continent?
Does everyone has Cosmos as a notable win? lol
Apollokage is in georgia now
Don’t think that’s true
Subs don’t match the quality of your vids. Sleeper channel!!! Keep your grind up!!!!
Where’s New York??
Best player in Alaska did not even top 8 his own states 1 event gotta suck
999 likes, one more 👀
This is cool
My state not here :(
WHERE ARE THE REST OF THE STATES!?!? i didn’t see my state! T^T
Part two dropping in a few weeks!
I'm from Louisiana.
12:13 why does it say loaf is #2 Minnesota if he’s apparently the #1 Minnesota player!?
Some states do rankings but the ranking don’t always accurately represent the player skill level. The #1 from MN definitely could be their best but I feel like Loafs results out of MN boost him above their other player on my list.
