This thread is based off an interesting exercise that the UK gents came up with in a recent HMK podcast. As we near the end of the year, who are the best players of each character? The HMK guys did this live on the podcast and were instructed to say the best player of each character immediately after a character’s name was mentioned. Since this is a thread rather than a live discussion, you can take a little more time here but try to go with your first response rather than overthinking it. You can also break it down by variation, put more than one person if you think it is a toss up, or put a question mark if you can’t decide. No need to do the entire list either, respond with regard to some or all characters. I took an initial stab at this below.
