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.

49th – – – 33rd
Summary:
The VGBC sponsored Redd is a dangerous Fox main from the MD/VA region. Despite not traveling much during 2014, his technical, smart play still shone at many locals (including Smash at Clarendon and the wildly popular S@X series) and he finished just outside the top 32 at TBH4 near the end of the year.

Summary:
Dart!–who hails from downstate Illinois–is one of the country’s top Marths. His most notable achievement in 2014 was probably his down-to-the-wire loss against Shroomed at TBH4, but he also continued to place strongly at the Midwest tournaments he attended.

Summary:
One of SoCal’s hidden bosses, Lil Fumi has an amazing Fox that relies on solid dash dance spacing with consistent technical skill. His MLG run was fantastic, defeating players such as Bladewise, MacD, DEHF, and Pikachad. He’s had some hand and wrist issues recently, but hopefully the rest of the world can see a little more of Lil Fumi in the future.

Summary:
In and out of activity, the SoCal native is known for his unorthodox Sheik tricks, and affinity for high-stakes money matches. Where to see him next? He’ll be challenging Slox at the APEX Salty Suite, as New England seeks revenge for the infamous Tian money match the year before.

7th 17th – 49th –
Summary:
s0ft seemed to go from a nobody to a somebody overnight. Being a Jigglypuff main from Georgia, s0ft has been active in the scene for many years. But it wasn’t until Apex 2014 that s0ft really made an impact, defeating Hax, double eliminating Ice, and eventually placing 7th. s0ft continued a successful 2014 by traveling to 5 MLG Anaheim qualifiers and placing well at all of them, earning himself a spot in the Professional Pool. He also placed 7th at Tipped Off 10, continually making a name for himself in his home, The South, as well as across the United States. His fearsome Jigglypuff, and solid Fox and Sheik prove that The South is nothing to be slept on.

Arguably the most exciting Samus to watch. With his use of bombs and down-airs to deteriorate people’s shields, Darrell constantly innovates new ways to work around Samus’ shortcomings to win otherwise difficult match-ups.
