Top 100 Melee Players of All Time
From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
The Top 100 Melee Players of All Time is a project by Smash History creators Edwin Budding and Pikachu942 that subjectively ranks the most successful Melee players from the middle of 2004 to the beginning of 2018, up to GENESIS 5. Since the release of the original list, Pikachu942 has made yearly updates to the Top 50.
The Melee Stats All-Time Top 100
The list, made in conjunction with PGStats, had several changes, including several other factors for consideration as well as a larger panel. The list was released in increments, starting with 91-100 on November 1st, 2021, and ending with 1-10 on November 21st. An "honorable exclusions" list was released in the methodology and featured players who weren't considered due to the difficulty of comparing them to the rest of the scene.
