For the second straight year, MeleeItOnMe is ranking every SSBM Player and counting them down on Twitter (#SSBMRank2014@Meleeitonme), from No. 100 to No. 1 .
We asked a panel of ~30 players/commentators/figureheads from all across the world to rate the overall level of play for each player in 2014 (From January 2014 –> The Big House 4). This includes evaluating perceived skill in tandem with the tournament results.

| Summary: | |||||||
| The Swedish Sniper, and Peach extraordinaire, Armada returned to competing both in Europe and North America after a short retirement, and returned to his old ways once again. Going all in for the summer of Smash, Armada proved that even after his short retirement, he was still one of the best. 2nd at MLG, 1st at CEO, 3rd at EVO, 4th at The Big House 4, and multiple firsts in between, even then, Armada is only satisfied with being number 1. Armada has returned to competing full-time, and with his incredible intelligence and dedication, remains one of the most difficult to beat players in Smash history. Armada has promised to continue to return to the United States, and reclaim his throne. And he is considered to be one of the only players who’s capable of doing so. | |||||||

I’m always so surprised with Armada. Being a Peach main he is always our inspiration and his videos are our bible. But after he said that he’s reached the extent of Peach’s abilities, we were all wondering what happened. For anyone that doesn’t know Mang0, you’d think this guy, with his insane win ratio vs everyone, his borderline obsessive spacing and edge guarding, was the best in the world, and having a positive win ratio against mang0 (the only person in the world), someone could probably argue it. He has brought Peach from near obscurity post-Wife and is the only person to be able to win real money from Peach, and yet claims she isn’t there. People who watch his stream know that he’s trying to pick up Fox and I wish he wouldn’t. Peach is powerful and is the reason he’s here. I wish him the best, obviously for being my and every Peach Main’s guru, but urge him to continue pushing Peach past her limitations. It’s the obscurity of the character (read: everyone knows what Fox will do) that allows you to dominate.
Haha. But at this point in time everybody studies armadas videos. There’s not really too much he can do to catch people way off guard anymore. Although I agree that he shouldn’t drop peach(which he has yet to do, dec2015) there are some things that peach simply can’t do and having a fox to be able to account for peach’s weakenesses can’t really be seen as a bad decision
