Samus is one of the original 12 smash characters and has been a mainstay in the history of competitive smash. While she is low or bottom tier in many titles, she still has a fair amount of representation, especially recently in Ultimate and modern Melee. Here are the GOATs of Samus plus a brief explanation for each.

Recently there was some discourse on Twitter about rankings between traditional fighting game players who rarely have any rankings and smash players who have tons of rankings from local to regional to global. As someone that’s been on dozens of PR panels for my region I think that rankings are great, but come with some side effects like stagnation of skill, excessive arguing, and seeming to be more trouble then they’re worth, but it can also build community, give props to lesser known players, and provide more excitement to events throughout the year. Here’s a broad explanation of the culture of rankings and my experience with them over the years.

I observed a good amount of complaints about seeding at OOTB5, and while I think there were some fair points, it seems that many people don't have much experience TOing/seeding an event as well as cherrypicking certain examples without being solution oriented. There are a lot of factors going into the decision making to seeding like rankings, recent results, regional conflicts, how frequently the players have faced each other, and more. Here's a brief rundown of some of the decision making that the seeding team likely went through for OOTB5.

With events like Genesis X3, Out Of The Blue 5, Smash Valley, Super Fusion, Eggdog House Party, and many other exciting events, the first quarter of the year had so many upsets. Here's a brief summary of the results plus a tier-based ranking for the top 30 or so players.

After extensive research, it appears that DontTestMe has caused the mental (if not physical) suffering of many people involved in the Melee and larger smash community. Zain, for the good of everyone, please stop going Roy.

Soonsay had an incredible run at Genesis X3 earlier this year, defeating both of last year's finalists (Hbox and Trif) en route to getting 3rd place and qualifying for an invitational later in the year called Full House Siege. Soonsay has a history of solid performances at invitationals; how will he do this time? Here's a brief history of Soonsay's career along with head to head records vs the other players at Full House.

Wizzrobe just had one of the craziest tournament wins of the past decade at Out Of The Blue 5, while also earning a spot into Full House Seige, an invitational on April 24-26.
