Trucks - Ken (+/- 0)
Despite a lower attendance rate this season, Trucks still showed his dominant force winning most tournaments he attended and finishing with a strong head to head on all competitors. Anchored by his Ken, Trucks took on some unorthodox picks the season but overall once again has cemented his place at the top.
Gerald - Little Mac (+2)
After a tough back and forth season, Gerald has shown his strength with his Mac and Joker picks taking second this season. With a late-season shift to Chrom, Gerald has shown that when he picks a gameplan it can be deadly. Falling just short this season, Gerald will be aiming for that number one position next season.ME | EH | Cap Supreme - Wii Fit Trainer (+/- 0)
Consistency through victory, determination through defeat, through this Cap Supreme has once again shown why he is one of the best in the region. Known for the Wii Fit he did bust out the Marth in some cases but overall had a very strong season and will be looking to stay near the top.DT | Chins - Piranha Plant (-2)
Despite low turnouts, Chins takes enough mains to make a return appearance in top 5. With his unique style and unpredictable Hail Mary plays, it is unknown how far he can go in the future.Snoop - Snake (+1)
Snoop finally settles into a niche after a turbulent season, switching mains multiple times, before finally settling on the wild card pick of Ridley. Due to this, his ensemble of characters to play at a high level is growing vast, and next season the scene had better be wary of this veritable counterpick machine.Kharn - Greninja (+1)
Despite a less engaging season, Kharn still showed his knack for the game with solid placings and strong wins. Despite falling short of some higher placings, Kharn once again shows whilst he might not own the game, he knows how to play.WambySock - Pac Man (-2)
Wambysock didn’t play much this season, but when he did he got the job done. His solid Pac-Man proved to be the threat it had always been, and with more appearances, Wamby could reach for a higher placing.RNGoephph (+/- 0)
RNGoephph had an interesting season, throwing characters around and taking some unnecessary losses. Towards the end, however, he found his footing with some solid, consistent sets with his long-time main of Daisy, and if he stays on it he is expected to go far in the future as Mr President.DT | MaxKiNG (+1)
The long-standing Palutena main makes a strong recovery this season, with some great performances, some top 4 appearances and quality sets. Next season is shaping up to be a big one for the Goddess main.GandLaf (New)
GandLaf rockets into the number ten spot, with some insane high-level victories and crucial wins against PR players earning him his spot. with his well-practised Link, his main from Smash 4, working wonders against the scene, his crazy Pokémon Trainer, and even postseason with his fresh Terry pick, it can be expected to see GandLaf rise through the ranks.
Honourable Mentions: LargeMarge (Cloud), Zanthore (Joker) and G0D (Pit/Dark Pit)
