Scarl's Competitive Rankings: #40-31

Staying true to that "Every other day blog" grind.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Area 51

#50-41

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Here we are once again ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. We're still in the earlier part of the list, but this is where the players start going from "good" to "great". There will be many familiar names here, some you might think should be higher, and others lower. Either way, I've been tweaking my algorithm for years to try and make things as accurate as possible.

To get to this part of the list, it's no more of doing either really good at tournaments or just getting good wins. You need both. I don't think there's much else I need to say, so without further ado...

Scarl's #40-31

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

#40: Armada | Prodigy

Record against Top 50: 7-7 (50%)

Notable Placements

•13th at Genesis 6 (High S Tier)

•13th at CEO 2019(High A Tier)

•2nd at Crown (Mid C Tier)

Notable Wins

•Cosmos x2

•Fatality

•Abadango

•Stroder

•Dark Wizzy

•Goblin

First up on our list today is the Mario Man from NorCal, Prodigy. When Ultimate started, I had never heard of this kid. Then he got 13th at Genesis... Yea, my head was turned. Then he didn't really do anything for a while, so I assumed it was a one and done thing, but the he once again got 13th at CEO. Add on to the the amazing wins over players like Abadango, Stroder, and two on Cosmos. The main thing preventing Prodigy from being higher is his lack of attendance. If I has more results to work with, I could definitely see him higher.

#39: AP | Goblin

Record against Top 50: 4-12 (25%)

Notable Placements

•13th at Frostbite 2019 (Low S Tier)

•17th at MomoCon 2019 (Low S Tier)

•17th at Pound 2019 (Low A Tier)

•7th at Ultimate Gamer Miami (Low C Tier)

•7th at Smashpoint (Low C Tier)

•5th at GatorLAN Spring 2019 (Low C Tier)

•2nd at Overlords of Orlando: Ultimate Edition (Low C Tier)

Notable Wins

•Kameme

•Ryuga

•ScAtt

•8BitMan

•Umeki

•Pandarian

•Puppeh

The Central Florida Roy that turned heads at Frostbite, Goblin lands himself at 39th. In of placements, Goblin has everything covered. Decent showings at top tier tournaments, and many consistent Top 8 appearances at C tier tournaments. As I've previously mentioned, those points really add up. In of wins, he is lacking a bit, but the Kameme win does help a lot. All in all, Goblin earned his spot here. Yea, is results were a bit heavy on placements, but he had the wins to make it here as well.

#38: SV KJS | Maister

Record against Top 50: 6-3 (66.7%)

Notable Placements:

•1st at Combo Breaker 2019 (Low B Tier)

•1st at WeTecThose 9 (Mid C Tier)

•3rd at Full Bloom 5 (Low C Tier)

•1st at Ragnarok (Low C Tier)

Notable Wins

•Esam x2

•MVD

•Yeti x3

The best Game & Watch player finds himself at #38. He's the first player on here to have a positive set record against the Top 50. He got at least 3rd at every lower tier'd tournament he went to, and scored incredible wins on some top players. So what's holding him back? Well, his Major results are... well, they're bad. Like, really bad. He's shown he has the potential to do well at them, the problem now is that he needs to make it happen.

#37: MVG | Dark Wizzy

Record against Top 50: 6-16 (27.2%)

Notable Placements

•17th at Genesis 6 (High S Tier)

•13th at MomoCon 2019 (Low S tier)

•13th at Pound 2019 (Low A Tier)

•2nd at Return to Subspace 2(Low C Tier)

•4th at Suplex City Smash (Low C Tier)

Notable Wins

•Mr.R

•Light x2

•Nietono

•Goblin

•Suarez

If I had to compare Dark Wizzy to someone already on this list, it would be Goblin, but better. His placements are incredible, twice getting Top 16 at majors, with some great C tier results sprinkled in there. As for his wins, they are also incredible, the most important one being the 2 on Light. The list of people who have beaten Light twice is small, just making that feat all the more impressive. All in all, Dark Wizzy earned his spot at 37th.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

#36: Wishes

Record against Top 50: 7-10 (41.2%)

Notable Placements

•9th at Frostbite 2019 (Low S Tier)

•17th at Smash N Splash 5 (Low S Tier)

•9th at CEO 2019 (High A Tier)

•3rd at Suplex City Smash (Low C Tier)

Notable Wins

•Samsora

•Light

•Fatality

•Dark Wizzy

•Yeti

•Prodigy

•Tea

Formally known as Vivid in Smash 4, Wishes had his breakout performance at Frostbite, and then continued to show of what he could do. This was especially true at CEO where he nearly made Top 8 and eliminating Nairo. While he didn't get the win on Nairo, his list of wins is impressive nonetheless. Wins on multiple potentially Top 10 players is nothing to scoff at. Like Prodigy though, I just wish Wishes could go to more to get more opportunities to show off.

#35: DA | Sinji

Record against Top 50: 6-6 (50%)

Notable Placements

•7th at MomoCon 2019

•9th at Pound 2019 (Low A Tier)

•7th at Collision 2019 (High C Tier)

Notable Wins

•Cosmos

•VoiD

•Fatality

•Shoyo James

•Myran

•Suarez

Waka wakaing in at 35th is Sinji. If there were ever someone who you could call inconsistent, it would be Sinji this season. He had some pretty high highs, with a Top 8 at an S tier. At the same time, there were some low lows, like 33rd at Suplex City Smash, a Low C tier. Overall though, Sinji had more good than bad. His wins show this well with sets over some of this seasons heaviest hitters. I look forward to seeing what this Pac Man will do next season.

#34: Tsu

Record against Top 50: 6-7 (46.2%)

Notable Placements

•5th at Umebura Japan Major (Low S Tier)

•13th at Umebura SP 3 (Low A Tier)

•5th at Just Roll With It 11 (Mid C Tier)

•4th at The Kid, the GOAT, and the Mang0 (Low C Tier)

•2nd at 2GG: Grand Tour- South Carolina (Low C Tier)

Notable Wins

•Fatality

•Larry Lurr

•Abadango x2

•Nietono

•Atelier

•Zackray

Gosh dang Tsu, you done good. Top 8 at an S tier, good C tier placements, quality wins over better players, what more could you ask for? Well, more results. Tsu didn't really go to much. He could definitely be much higher if he had done well at Frostbite, but a 65th isn't helping anyone. Regardless, 34th is great. JUST DON'T GO TO HIS TWITTER. SWEET JESUS, TSU PLEASE.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

#33: TGS | Captain L

Record against Top 50: 4-11 (26.7%)

Notable Placements

•17th at Frostbite 2019 (Low S Tier)

•13th at GOML 2019 (High A Tier)

•7th at Battle of BC 3 (High B Tier)

•4th at Kawaii Kon 2019 (Low C Tier)

•3rd at The Pinnacle 2019 (Low C Tier)

Notable Wins

•Fatality

•WaDi

•Mr.E

•Puppeh

Captain L had a lot of results. Like, A LOT. Everything seems pretty fair and consistent as well. No super low placing (aside from maybe Prime Sags), but no super high placings either. Even his wins seem fair. No top player wins, sure, but the wins he did get are still quite good. My biggest complaint in regards to Captain L is that I wish I could see more wins for the amount of tournaments he went to. Either way, 33rd is a great spot to be in.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

#32: dB | Yeti

Record against Top 50: 3-10 (23.1%)

Notable Placements

•9th at Genesis 6 (High S Tier)

•2nd at Combo Breaker 2019 (Low B Tier)

•2nd at Be Mine? (Low C Tier)

•5th at Full Bloom 5 (Low C Tier)

•3rd at Ragnarok (Low C Tier)

•5th at Midwest Arena (Low C Tier)

•1st at COST 2019 (Low C Tier)

Notable Wins

•Zinoto x2

•MVD x2

•Maister

Yet another player with incredible tournament placements hindered by a lack of wins. Yeti started this season incredibly strong with a 9th place at Genesis, and kept it going by getting at least 5th at every C tier he went to. The only off tournament was Frostbite, but otherwise, Yeti did amazing. Somehow though, he wasn't able to score the neccessary wins to place even higher. Must be a strange bracket, I don't know. Either way, once he gets some good wins, I'd love to place him higher. 32nd it's bad at all though.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

#31: Mazer | NAKAT

Record against Top 50: 7-10 (41.2%)

Notable Placements

•7th at Smash N Splash 5 (Low S Tier)

•17th at GOML 2019 (High A Tier)

•13th at Umebura SP 3 (Low A Tier)

•2nd at Expand Gong 4 (Low C Tier)

Notable Wins

•Nario

•Mr.R

•Shoyo James

•Mr.E

•Stroder

•ScAtt

•8BitMan

•Yeti

•Gen

An old favorite of many, Nakat returns to the top 50 in Ultimate at 31st. While he had a weak start to the season, getting 33rd at both Genesis and Frostbite, Nakat bounced back hard at Smash N Splash with a Top 8 showing. That placement is ed by quality A tier placings as well as a long list of quality wins. It's hard to get wins on such killers like Shoyo James and Nairo, making Nakat's accomplishments all the more impressive.
