Plup may legitimately be the best Melee player in the world

  • From Canada, to the UK, to practically everywhere in between, the Summer of Smash had delivered on a myriad of rip-roaring events from all over the world. Thankfully, no arms were broken in this year's iteration, but Riptide 2023 still brought to the table a wide array of stalwart North American talent like lloD, KoDoRiN, Aklo, aMSa and moky. It also boasted the inclusion of some of Melee’s most elusive marquee names in Wizzrobe and Plup. And with Zain opting to drop from the event, the time has finally come for a player other than Zain, Cody Schwab, Jmook or Leffen to take to the throne in 2023. I’m turndownforwalt, and here are the top five performances from Riptide 2023 in this week's JV5.

    I've been saying this all year. Plup is top five but he's probably top three ahead of Jmook and Leffen. If he attended more, he'd be having a better year than Zain did last year on consistency. Guy's so underrated

    • @Supertaldo916
      @Supertaldo916 8 місяців тому +2

      Both Leffen and Jmook have won events that were a lot more stacked than the two Plup has won. I would argue Plup is above Amsa right now, though. But low attendance is kind of iffy imo.

Even the Falcon savior has beaten half of the top 10 with only 2 tournaments…

    Plup is very good, and definitely underrated by the 2023 summer rankings (on purpose--they penalize low attendance).
    But #1 in the world? Based on this tournament?
    Nah. Guess who wasn't in attendance this tournament? #1 on the summer rankings (Zain). #2 on the summer rankings (Cody). #3 on the summer rankings (Jmook). #4 on the summer rankings (Leffen). #6 on the summer rankings (Mango). #8 on the summer rankings (Hungrybox). None of them were in attendance.
    Of the players in attendance, the one who probably could have beaten Plup (other than Wizzrobe) was Moky. (Moky 3-0'd Plup at Genesis). But Moky and Plup did not meet in the bracket this time.
    Plup IS good for sure, but I don't think this tournament is a sign of him being #1.
