SSBM Rank Top 25 (20-16)

By |June 17, 2014|Default|0 Comments

What is SSBMTop25 Rank?

SSBMTop25 is a compiled list of best players based on a collective panel of people in the community. It is aimed to give a heads up to people who have been performing well in the first half of 2014 and have momentum going into this summer’s major tournaments such as MLG, CEO, and Evo. The other objective is to give the greater audience an idea of who to watch out for as the tournament progresses.

How did the voting work?

There were roughly 35 people who voted on a list of players. Each voter gave a list of their top 25 players. A 1st place vote will net a player 25 points. A 2nd place vote will net a player 24 points, etc… and a 25th place vote will net 1 point. The overall top 25 is determined based on who accumulated the most points between all the panelist votes. The voting was done prior to Super SWEET and the most recent SSS.

Here’s 20-16

Why Armada will win MLG Anaheim by DoH

Execution:

Many have described Armada as the European Mew2King. Historically he has been incredibly precise, with vicious edgeguards, a devastating punish game, and impeccable defense. In a metagame heavily dominated by space animals, this will allow him to plow through the competition much easier, since as a Peach main, the fast fallers can’t really do the same thing to him. Armada also has incredible luck with Stitchfaces, which are always a factor.
