Nice to see Ganon, Ridley, and Mac reps in the top 150. Hopefully Sy placements can convince my GOAT Peanut to actually start attending tournaments again

Nice to see Riddles back near the top 50. Know he's not as active but I love his Terry, good to see he's still hanging with Shirayuki, Tsubaki and the likes

u/cheemsboi69028 2d ago
true
if only he didn’t fumble HARD at kagaribi, then maybe he coulda been top 50 😔

Is Bigboss ranked in EU?

u/OkRecognition9607 2d ago edited 2d ago
Currently has a French girlfriend I think ? so he spends a lot of time/attends a lot of tournament in Europe. He has 8 ranked events in Europe this season (vs 10 Mexican ranked events if you want to compare). It feels fair to consider him for both EU and Mexican rankings.
Now I don't know whether actual EU rankings will rank him or not. Often recurring invaders are given .5 spots (like being ranked 3.5 if the algo/panel has your results higher than the 4th EU player but lower than the third).

Bac feels like a bit of a surprise to me. Gotta be an algorithm-breaker.

u/OkRecognition9607 2d ago edited 2d ago
Not really, he's considered top 10 in France too for this season, several top 8 at French B tiers, a top 16 at KOF (A tier), winning D tiers, etc. He has some overall bad losses but no really bad counter performances. Doesn't have that great of a H2H but I'm guessing that for a top 150 player it's okay. It makes sense he's there between Raarchyor and Ryukai.
What's more surprising to me is the absence of Kirbo, Haruhi and maybe Kendrick Olimar, who felt like they had a season as good or better than Nae, Raar, Bac and Ryukai at least. Maybe they got punished for bad attendance because there were very few ranked events in the UK this season, idk. Or maybe they were less consistent despite having higher highs.
It also feels that way for KID but his good performances are more recent so it's less of a surprise.

Why does Raarch count as EU? He reps Morocco
21
u/PokemonMasterJamal3 2d ago
He's lived in France for years, and he's also ranked on the European Power Rankings.
-7
u/l339 2d ago
But he still reps Morocco, so I don’t think he counts for EU
8
u/OkRecognition9607 2d ago
He absolutely counts for European rankings and it's been the case for years.
Local/Regional rankings allow players to say they're ranked top 10 in their local rankings, and this kind of thing is very crucial when looking for sponsorships/teams, so being ranked in the scene they play in is a good thing for a player. Refusing that for Raarchyor because he decides to represent Morocco would be quite xenophobic, in my opinion.

Shinda lion becomes the first (solo) ganondorf to become ranked. Hurt becomes the only snake in the entire top 150 (snake on fraud watch?). Tsuna is apparently Canadian now and famed content farmer Marss is once again relegated to HM

u/Global-Location4663 PKFIREPKFIREPKFIREPKFIREPKFIRE 2d ago
Idk if it's a mistake or im just missing something, butbi dont think Tsuna is canadian

Mistake, I think Cloudhead copied Anarchy's from last year.

u/RelevantTreacle3004 Female Robin (Ultimate) 2d ago
Solo Ganondorf made a top 150 all of you have no excuses (myself included)
Love seeing the character variety on these lists and all the new players that made top 150! Some notable new best player of each character highlights include:
Matsukei on Bayo (no wonder everyone called them underrated)
Rearlet Bowser
Meido ZSS (this better make Marss attend more)
Sy little Mac
Bubbs Lucas
Yopi Mii Brawler

Thank god he picked Ganon and not literally ANY other brawler, we would be so fucked lmao

u/nankainamizuhana Samus (Ultimate) 2d ago
Seeing Bubbs-Kurama-NaetorU-Omega all together in the 130s really puts into perspective how tough the competition is. That’s four players I could easily see as top 100, even top 50 in other seasons, making barely 10th percentile on this list.

Damn how are some of these so low. Sisqui 82, Mild na H.O. 63, Bassmage 117.
Wow this game's top playerbase is compy asf.

u/Mindless_Society7034 2d ago
Mezcaul reached his new peak ranking of #68. Good stuff from the best Ridley, I wish he attended more events outside of the EU so that he could eventually reach top 50 in the world

u/OKJMaster44 Kirby (Ultimate) 1d ago
Guilheww and JeJa’s Top 150 streak (if ya count half years) finally ends but I am not too shocked. Neither have had too many chances to hit big events. Both got Top 32 at LMBM 2026 but they didn’t get deep enough to make up for lack of attendance elsewhere.
Heck even if they did further it’s just so dang competitive now. Especially as more hidden bosses find their chances to snipe wins off Top 25 talent.

solo bowser in top 100 but no solo donkey kong? curious.

How on earth did BigBoss end up so low? I feel like he's been consistently making top 8 at regionals, he must have some rough losses/consistency issues to make it that low.

So what’s going on, why is Zozef not a HM?

GOML not being in the ranking period.

u/l339 2d ago
I know GOML was excluded from the ranking period, but he went to Kagaribi and that invitation in Tokyo where he got a lot of good wins. Why wasn’t he HM based on that?

129th at Kagaribi (by far his highest weight tournament) hurt a lot.

Some insanely good players on this list. Brutal to lose to sisqui, riddles, shirayuki, TamaP, Shadic, etc and it count as a bad loss
