'''Ranai''' ({{ja|らない|Ranai}}), also known as '''Ganbaranai''' ({{ja|がんばらない|Ganbaranai}}) or '''Hayase''' ({{ja|はやせ|Hayase}}), is a [[smasher]] from Japan who is mostly known for his {{SSB4|Villager}} in ''[[SSB4]]'', and is widely considered to be the best Villager in the world, with his most notable tournament placing being 3rd at [[GENESIS 3]], surpassing many other Villager professionals such as {{Sm|MJG}} and {{Sm|SS|p=Arizona}}. He is currently ranked 14th on the [[Panda Global Rankings]] and 2nd on the [[JAPAN Power Rankings]].
'''Ranai''' ({{ja|らない|Ranai}}), formerly known as '''Ganbaranai''' ({{ja|がんばらない|Ganbaranai}}) and '''Hayase''' ({{ja|はやせ|Hayase}}), is an ''[[SSB4]]'' {{SSB4|Villager}} player from Kansai, Japan, and is considered the best Villager player in the world. Ranai is currently ranked 21st on the [[PGR 100]] and was formerly ranked 13th on the [[JAPAN Power Rankings]]. He has taken sets off of top players such as {{Sm|Nairo}}, {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|Ally}}, {{Sm|Larry Lurr}}, {{Sm|komorikiri}}, {{Sm|Mr.R}}, {{Sm|Abadango}}, and {{Sm|Salem}}. He is currently inactive.


In ''Brawl'', he mained {{SSBB|Pikachu}}, and occasionally {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} and {{SSBB|Snake}}.
In ''[[SSBB]]'', he was well regarded for possessing an extensive character roster.


==Tournament history==
==Tournament history==
{{Out of date|July 2016|Brawl tournaments.}}
==={{forwiiu}}===
===''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''===
====Rise in Japan====
Ranai's first notable tournament placing in ''SSB4'' was at [[KSB 2015]], a major tournament in Japan with [[custom moves]] on where he won with non-custom Villager. After losing early vs {{Sm|Choco}}'s {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}}, he made an impressive losers run in which he defeated players from the likes of {{Sm|Nietono}}, {{Sm|Brood}}, {{Sm|Earth}} and {{Sm|RAIN}}, and made it into Grand Finals where he defeated {{Sm|Komorikiri}} 4-0, which surprised many people.
Ranai's initial notable tournament was [[KSB 2015]], a Japanese major with [[custom moves]] enabled, where he won with non-custom {{SSB4|Villager}}. He'd make an impressive Losers' run, following an early loss to {{Sm|Choco}}, defeating {{Sm|Nietono}}, {{Sm|Brood}}, {{Sm|Earth}}, and {{Sm|RAIN}}, making it to Grand Finals, where he defeated {{Sm|komorikiri}}.
 
After KSB, he maintained high placements at Japanese tournaments. Despite being unable to attend [[EVO 2015]], he would attend Japan's first national, [[Umebura F.A.T.]], though he placed a middling 13th. He would resume his high placements afterwards.
 
====Putting {{SSB4|Villager}} on the map====
Ranai would travel to the United States to attend [[GENESIS 3]], quickly becoming a fan favorite. He would win Doubles with Komorikiri, defeating {{Sm|ZeRo}} and {{Sm|Nairo}} 3-1 in the second set of grand finals after initially losing to them 2-3 in the first set. In Singles, he placed 3rd, defeating {{Sm|Marss}}, {{Sm|Ally}}, and {{Sm|FOW}}, before falling to ZeRo in a close set, and to {{Sm|Dabuz}}. Following GENESIS 3, Ranai's results became far more inconsistent, notably placing 7th at [[Niconico Tokaigi 2016]], and 9th at [[Shots Fired 2]].
 
After sparse tournament attendance, he would return to the United States to attend [[EVO 2016]], placing 5th, defeating Nairo, Marss, and Dabuz before falling to {{Sm|VoiD}}.
 
At [[Umebura S.A.T.]], he would repeat his 13th placing in Singles, falling to {{Sm|Tsu-}} and {{Sm|T}}. In Doubles, he'd place 1st with komorikiri, defeating the top Japanese team of {{Sm|Taiheita}} and {{Sm|Gomamugitya}}.
 
====A period of inconsistency====
At [[GENESIS 4]], hoping to repeat his previous success, he fell short. In Singles, he placed 9th, falling early to {{Sm|Rich Brown}}, and failing to advance to Top 8, falling to komorikiri. In Doubles, he and komorikiri placed 2nd, being double eliminated by Ally and {{Sm|MkLeo}} (1-3 in both winners semis and grand finals), though they would once again defeat ZeRo and Nairo 3-2 in losers semis.
 
Having qualified for [[Niconico Tokaigi 2017]] at the [[Karisuma Tokaigi Qualifiers]], Ranai would perform markedly better, placing 5th, defeating {{Sm|Mr.R}}, before falling to {{Sm|Abadango}} and {{Sm|KEN}}.
 
With a commitment to travel and compete more, he would return to the USA for [[Frostbite 2017]], though his performance was mediocre, placing 33rd in Singles, falling to {{Sm|WaDi}} and Ally. In Doubles, he and komorikiri would place 9th, falling early to WaDi and {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}}, before failing to make Top 8, defeated by VoiD and {{Sm|NAKAT}}. His most notable performance would be during the USA VS Japan crew battle, where following a massive deficit, he, {{Sm|Kameme}}, and komorikiri would surmount a comeback and take it over the USA crew, upsetting expectations of a USA win.
 
Traveling to Florida for [[Frame Perfect Series 2]], he performed notably better compared to his last visit. He placed 7th in singles, defeating {{Sm|Salem}} 3-0, before falling to MkLeo 0-3 and {{Sm|Captain Zack}} 0-3.
 
At [[2GGC: Civil War]], he placed 17th in Singles, and 9th in doubles with komorikiri. He was voted to participate in the April Saga Round Robin, to determine the theme of the April tournament. Utilising {{SSB4|Greninja}}, he won the event. Ranai also participated in the crew battle, playing for Team ZeRo.
 
At [[KSB 2017]] he placed 7th, was sent to losers by MkLeo with 0-2 and eliminated by Earth with 0-2.
 
At [[Umebura Japan Major 2017]] he placed 13th, sent to losers by Choco 0-2 and eliminated by Nietono in a close 1-2 set. In doubles, he placed 2nd with komorikiri, falling to Choco and Nietono in the winners' semi finals. They faced MkLeo and {{Sm|Mew2King}} in Grand Finals. They reset the bracket 3-2, but were defeated in the second set 1-3.
 
He traveled to California to attend [[2GGC: Greninja Saga]], after previously winning the round robin in 2GGC: Civil War using Greninja. He was sent early to losers in an upset by {{Sm|TLTC}} 1-2, and then was eliminated by Abadango 2-3, placing 17th overall.
 
At [[EVO 2017]], Ranai solidly went through the winners bracket. He played a highly anticipated set against ZeRo in Round 1 of Top 48, but narrowly lost 1-2. He immediately lost in losers to WaDi 1-2, placing 17th.


Since KSB, he has placed very high at many other tournaments in Japan, which includes 1st placings in tournaments such as [http://challonge.com/sumaabto3u Sumabato 3], [[Umebura 18]] and [[Hyper Sumabato]]. While he was not able to travel to the USA to attend [[EVO 2015]], he would later attend Japan's first national tournament, [[Umebura F.A.T.]], at which despite getting a relatively disappointing 13th placing in bracket, he would help his team win the Japan vs World crew side event, where he defeated {{Sm|Ally}} and {{Sm|Nairo}} after his partner {{Sm|Umeki}} was eliminated. After Umebura F.A.T., however, he would resume his notable placings, getting 1st at both [http://challonge.com/KUSFT KUSF Tournament] and [[Umebura Niconico Qualifiers]].

In 2016, Ranai finally travelled to the USA to attend his third national tournament, [[GENESIS 3]], where once again, he helped his crew win the regional crew battle side event, and he won the doubles event with Komorikiri. In singles, he made it to Top 8 and defeated {{Sm|FOW}} 3-1 in Winners Semis before facing {{Sm|ZeRo}} in Winners Finals, where he lost in a very close set, 3-2. He fell to {{Sm|Dabuz}} 3-1 in Losers Finals, ending his run and finishing in 3rd place. Despite this, Ranai did not resume his notable placings as well as before when he returned to Japan, as he ended up getting a 7th place (last place) at [[Niconico Tokaigi 2016]]. Ranai also traveled to USA a second time for [[Shots Fired 2]], in which he got 9th place out of 162 entrants, in stark contrast to his previous 3rd placing at GENESIS 3.

Ranai would later take a hiatus from Smash, not attending tournaments for months; in spite of this, he traveled to the USA for a third time, this time to compete in [[EVO 2016]], and defeated players like Nairo, {{Sm|Marss}}, and Dabuz before losing to {{Sm|VoiD}} to place 5th in the largest ''SSB4'' tournament of all time, once again cementing his spot as the best Villager player in the world.

Ranai (らない), formerly known as Ganbaranai (がんばらない) and Hayase (はやせ), is an SSB4 Villager player from Kansai, Japan, and is considered the best Villager player in the world. Ranai is currently ranked 21st on the PGR 100 and was formerly ranked 13th on the JAPAN Power Rankings. He has taken sets off of top players such as Nairo, Dabuz, Ally, Larry Lurr, komorikiri, Mr.R, Abadango, and Salem. He is currently inactive.

In SSBB, he was well regarded for possessing an extensive character roster.

Tournament history[edit]

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U[edit]

Rise in Japan[edit]

Ranai's initial notable tournament was KSB 2015, a Japanese major with custom moves enabled, where he won with non-custom Villager. He'd make an impressive Losers' run, following an early loss to Choco, defeating Nietono, Brood, Earth, and RAIN, making it to Grand Finals, where he defeated komorikiri.

After KSB, he maintained high placements at Japanese tournaments. Despite being unable to attend EVO 2015, he would attend Japan's first national, Umebura F.A.T., though he placed a middling 13th. He would resume his high placements afterwards.

Putting Villager on the map[edit]

Ranai would travel to the United States to attend GENESIS 3, quickly becoming a fan favorite. He would win Doubles with Komorikiri, defeating ZeRo and Nairo 3-1 in the second set of grand finals after initially losing to them 2-3 in the first set. In Singles, he placed 3rd, defeating Marss, Ally, and FOW, before falling to ZeRo in a close set, and to Dabuz. Following GENESIS 3, Ranai's results became far more inconsistent, notably placing 7th at Niconico Tokaigi 2016, and 9th at Shots Fired 2.

After sparse tournament attendance, he would return to the United States to attend EVO 2016, placing 5th, defeating Nairo, Marss, and Dabuz before falling to VoiD.

At Umebura S.A.T., he would repeat his 13th placing in Singles, falling to Tsu- and T. In Doubles, he'd place 1st with komorikiri, defeating the top Japanese team of Taiheita and Gomamugitya.

A period of inconsistency[edit]

At GENESIS 4, hoping to repeat his previous success, he fell short. In Singles, he placed 9th, falling early to Rich Brown, and failing to advance to Top 8, falling to komorikiri. In Doubles, he and komorikiri placed 2nd, being double eliminated by Ally and MkLeo (1-3 in both winners semis and grand finals), though they would once again defeat ZeRo and Nairo 3-2 in losers semis.

Having qualified for Niconico Tokaigi 2017 at the Karisuma Tokaigi Qualifiers, Ranai would perform markedly better, placing 5th, defeating Mr.R, before falling to Abadango and KEN.

With a commitment to travel and compete more, he would return to the USA for Frostbite 2017, though his performance was mediocre, placing 33rd in Singles, falling to WaDi and Ally. In Doubles, he and komorikiri would place 9th, falling early to WaDi and Dark Wizzy, before failing to make Top 8, defeated by VoiD and NAKAT. His most notable performance would be during the USA VS Japan crew battle, where following a massive deficit, he, Kameme, and komorikiri would surmount a comeback and take it over the USA crew, upsetting expectations of a USA win.

Traveling to Florida for Frame Perfect Series 2, he performed notably better compared to his last visit. He placed 7th in singles, defeating Salem 3-0, before falling to MkLeo 0-3 and Captain Zack 0-3.

At 2GGC: Civil War, he placed 17th in Singles, and 9th in doubles with komorikiri. He was voted to participate in the April Saga Round Robin, to determine the theme of the April tournament. Utilising Greninja, he won the event. Ranai also participated in the crew battle, playing for Team ZeRo.

At KSB 2017 he placed 7th, was sent to losers by MkLeo with 0-2 and eliminated by Earth with 0-2.

At Umebura Japan Major 2017 he placed 13th, sent to losers by Choco 0-2 and eliminated by Nietono in a close 1-2 set. In doubles, he placed 2nd with komorikiri, falling to Choco and Nietono in the winners' semi finals. They faced MkLeo and Mew2King in Grand Finals. They reset the bracket 3-2, but were defeated in the second set 1-3.

He traveled to California to attend 2GGC: Greninja Saga, after previously winning the round robin in 2GGC: Civil War using Greninja. He was sent early to losers in an upset by TLTC 1-2, and then was eliminated by Abadango 2-3, placing 17th overall.

At EVO 2017, Ranai solidly went through the winners bracket. He played a highly anticipated set against ZeRo in Round 1 of Top 48, but narrowly lost 1-2. He immediately lost in losers to WaDi 1-2, placing 17th.
