Tremor
Johnny stunt double
Jax

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

then why my poor man cowboy is the only one that has an op char reference? I'm guessing it's because of random chance, but poor cowboy tho.

Because IMO Shinnok is unbelievably dumb and broke

 

[juicepouch]

Go for it

Start us out

I'll give it a shot, starting after your honorable mentions:

Dizzy

Wonder Chef

Zyphox

Milky

Ketchup

Gross

Slayer

Saltface

That's my rough list, at least

 

[SaSSolino]

Because IMO Shinnok is unbelievably dumb and broke

shinnok is top1 for you?

 

[JerzeyReign]

I like character loyalists like Honeybee. Will make a list after work but not having to counter pick to succeed is just way more impressive to me.

 

[John Grizzly]

1 - Sonicfox
2 - DJT
3- Foxy
4 - MIT
5 - Honeybee

 

[Schuyler]

Everytime I see Hitbox Tyrant play he amazes me so i'd consider him a top 10 player. Just no results yet.

Oh yea hes one of my most fun players to watch too

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

shinnok is top1 for you?

Top 3 but dumbest/most brain dead in the game that anyone could do well w

The guessing game w him and screen control is insulting and he requires the least thought process IMO to be really good w out of the top 5

 

[SaSSolino]

[BLACKRENEGADE]

1. Sonic Fox
2. DJT
3. MIT
4. PL
5. Reo

 

[Dizzy]

I agree with the OP. These are people who have proven dominance at the recent tournaments, it'd be hard to argue against it. I think the only way it'd be proven is for others to have breakouts in tournaments by beating people these people (like how WoundCowboy did at EGL). In that respect, Madzin should get some mention for winning Versus 5, at the very least as being a possibility of reaching the super elite status with continued performance.

Sorcerer Quan

Tremor
Johnny stunt double
Jax

Not Jason? Jason is the most hype char for me to watch.

[Vigilante24]

Since its pretty much given top 5 due to results, ill give my personal top 5 as far as hype factor. In no particular order:

Hitbox Tyrant
Madzin
Milky
DJT
Nivek

By far my 5 fav players to watch. I miss Foxy playing Buzzsaw or id put him back in my top 5.

 

[Vandy]

I wouldn't put Wound Cowboy top 5 yet but I have no options.

 

[WidowPuppy]

My current top 5 not based on placing, just my opinion and looking towards the future.

Sonic

DJT

HoneyBee

Kitana Prime

DAB

Some players have missed out on placings due to character loyalty, which I admire. KP is getting stronger and stronger, and I believe DAB is gonna mop some people up with his new character choices.

 

[TackyHaddock]

While it is fair to conclude that REO is just outside of the top five at the moment, I'm pretty sure he will be soundly within the top five or even the top 3 discussion once his MK character musical chairs concludes and he settles on a true main
