Funny year. Got ranked top 5 in NL, better international wins and placements at majors than last year, made good improvements in the second half of the year, had more consistent results, and so my EU rank went...down? Tough competition.
Guess I'll simply work harder this year 👀
EURank 2025 will start releasing right now, as today we present ranks 50 to 41 - featuring a number of veterans and newcomers!
Remember that we will continue to show 10 players every day this week at 18:00 UTC, up to the Top 10 release on Friday.
Read up below:
STORY TIME: Earlier this year I found out that my neighbors’ 10 year old son is a huge Smash fan, so much so that he recognized Eric and had even went to the last Smash Factor
A couple days ago Leo came to Puebla for a tournament and I was housing him for the weekend so I thought “What if I invite the kid and his friend over to play with Leo for a bit?” Since he follows the scene, I knew he’d absolutely lose his mind meeting him and honestly how often does the former #1 player in the world just randomly spawn next door LMAO probably never again so I figured I HAD to make it happen
I asked Leo if he’d be down to play a set or two with them and without any hesitation he goes “Ofcourse” 🥹
Thought it'd be just a few games, didn't wanna take too much free time away from Leo's day after all but he actually ended up playing for well over an hour, joking around with them, answering questions and making them feel completely comfortable. I was honestly impressed 😂 that's why he's the goat I suppose
Leo couldn't have handled it better and I'm sure those kids aren't gonna forget about this experience any time soon
Anyway I felt like sharing this because it’s easy to focus only on the negative stuff online sometimes, but wholesome moments like these happen in the Smash community all the time too and I think it’s important to remind ourselves of that every now and then!
I have noticed some people talking about the selection process for ssbmrank ballots and I figured it would be good to write a short thread on how to get a ballot / our process for giving them to people.
After a small break, Dynasmash was back, with @thomas_ssbm winning in a hard-fought grand finals against an unexpected challenger!
