decided to follow along with what babyj did and create my own top 10 list based off what ive seen from everyone before the update ( i will give short descriptions on rankings)
what i considered: pit events, GF's, tournaments, ability to beat me
what i did not consider: dueling (because it is pointless right now and certain game features can make or break a duel)
another note to keep in mind: everyone in this list are pretty close in terms of overall skill right now, it was very very hard to determine who was at each specific spot. some people should definitely be 1 spot higher or 1 spot lower, but for the most part i feel this is the list thats mostly accurate for me right now.
1. Killershark (best overall from my view, consistently top frags in pit events and does very well in tournaments. has a mostly default playstyle, but backs it up with stellar blocking and feints/chambering mixed in)
2. Vertildr (underrated for how well he performs in GF's and tournaments, great target switching and unpredictable + chambers anything i throw at the fucker)
3. Stryker (consistently does well in all events, IMO has the best mechanics and can adapt quick + can chamber most stabs, is just as good at defense as he is at offense)
4. Hofnaar (sneaky good with setting up kills and ranging, great mechanics with good defense allowing little openings, always helps his team to a top 3 finish in tourneys)
5. WiFiBills (great at holding the line and getting fast stabs, also has amazing defense and is good at chambering, does great in smaller scale GF's and tourneys)
6. BabyJesus (overall knowledge from NW combined with good mechanics, good at working with team and makes good picks + great defense, war of attrition when fighting him)
7. marS (idk what to say about me, bragging not fun)
8. Wall (also extremely underrated in GF and tournament settings, good target switching and solid playstyle + can chamber most holds, can adjust to any situation)
9. Wolfe (has been performing very well and improving in events over the past month, great at setting up kills and has exceptional teamwork with anyone he's paired with)
10. iodine (solid player with not very many lacking areas, solid at holding the walls during GF's + good up downs and a moveset similiar to pedro in NW)
*KEEP IN MIND THESE ARE MY OPINIONS AND THOUGHTS THAT GO THROUGH MY HEAD WHEN FIGHTING THESE PEOPLE AND WHAT I SEE THE MOST FROM THEIR PLAYSTYLE*
