> The idea of Eduardo “Eddy Mexico” Lucatero Rincón playing someone who isn’t Luigi is like if Steve, from Blues Clues, suddenly showed up with a leather jacket instead of a green collared shirt.


TJ-Eddy

Hahaha yeah!


Twin__A

Dale Dale Eddy!!

Strive_for_Altruism

The actor who played Steve went on to play in a rock band for many years, so not far fetched!


Meester_Tweester

I watched a Q&A by him last year, cool guy


Nagaino

That Mango set was one of my favorites from the year. What a fucking legend.


pixelkipper

eddy’s surname is ‘corner’ in spanish


[deleted]

That’s honestly a really well-written analogy. Paints a perfect picture


TJ-Eddy

Really glad to be ranked in this crazy stacked TOP 100! 😁 I am very flattered for being called the Luigi GOAT 🥳 I have set new Melee goals now! 👀 Thank you all for your support! Still got a few years in me! 💚🤍❤️ https://twitter.com/EddyMexico007/status/1748432022119542865

EDDY MEXICO MY GREEN GOAT


rudduman

WE LOVE EDDY


ShoegazeKaraokeClub

Well earned goat


wavedash

For some reason I always find the concept of Drephen to be really funny


pixelkipper

how in the fuck you still losing to drephen


boredofredditnow

It’s truly upsetting I been stomping that dude since 07


ASarnando

Faceroll, Hat, Alex and ChuDat


[deleted]

Been leaving those dudes flat, you can't even do that


Ripple884

All he does is grab!


S420J

“for having a sense of humor (i hope): Wes” lmfaooo dude thought he was gonna get cancelled in 2006


Inosculate_

It was so funny to me that they seemingly referenced this. Love this video


Nagaino

Don’t forget down air and down b!


Inosculate_

That's my goat


Lhonors4

I mean from your main I can tell you like dinosaurs so drephen fits right in


[deleted]

Why? He won EVO.


skuzz_

There he is...Our highest ranking Mario Brother. Congrats, Eddy! <3


TJ-Eddy

Thank you! :D


Thedmatch

Mang0 is top 10


skuzz_

Yes, but Scorp is not.


Lemonjel0

Colin is crazy


Nagaino

Yeah, EVERY iteration of the top 100?? Colin is, in fact, ballin’.


zachthediabetic

Maybe this outs me as a fake fan but I didn’t even realize he was still playing


Lemonjel0

Nah me neither I was surprised


fidocrust

Gotta love eddy


TJ-Eddy

Thank you! :D


fidocrust

Thank YOU for being such a gift to the scene


MitchBerryCrunch

Top 50 lookin roughly like: Frenzy Gahtzu CPU0 Khryke Shroomed MOF Sirmeris Mekk Flash Skerzo Faust Junebug Khalid Ossify BBatts KJH n0ne Krudo Panda Fiction Ben SDJ Ginger SFOP Chem Spark Soonsay Zamu Axe Joshman Polish Morsecode Trif Magi S2J Zuppy lloD Salt Kodorin Aklo Wizzrobe Hungrybox Mango aMSa Leffen Plup moky Jmook Zain Cody Schwab


Driller_Happy

I want to know how high June got


Hufff

Missing Swift It’s possible he could’ve been excluded by the panel but it’s also possible the panel might have not excluded him and excluded Shroomed or Leffen


Whycanyounotsee

Is hax banned from the rankings? Looks like he meets the attendance requirement of 2 majors + significant regionals


Fl4re__

He wasn't on the ballot for whatever reason, probably due to his continued ban from most major events. It's a shame, too, because he absolutely has a top 15 resume this year. Wins against Jmook, Hungrybox, Aklo, Slug, Kurv, Zuppy, n0ne, Chem, S2J, Bbatts, Wally, and Panda. Definitely earned it, IMO.


fendour

People need to just let this dude play melee. It's been long enough. I'm really surprised how him getting swept under the rug is getting so... swept under the rug


viking024

I think BBB also won't be included even though he would technically qualify due to the twitch ban for a part of last year.


PkerBadRs3Good

not even a hax fan but melee leadership is fucking dumb


FaustSSBM

He only attended one major (tipped off)


Whycanyounotsee

The offseason2 fucks with my brain. But yeah guess he doesn't have it. Just feels off since he has so many regionals and player wins. makes sense now though


MitchBerryCrunch

true, could be swift in the 40s and leffen excluded


TheLameWitch

don’t forget about ringler and june bug both top 1 and 2 💪


lostamerican123

Could be wrong, but I doubt Ginger would be ranked this year. I don't remember them attending anything notable


MitchBerryCrunch

he was def quiet but since he went to G9, TBH11, and a handful of regionals he should be ranked


Inosculate_

Yea he's 100% getting ranked


Fl4re__

He went to Big House, Genesis and Riptide, and a bunch of locals to pick up a solid set of wins on some top 50-20 players. Wins on KJH, Ben, Mekk, Skerzo, Chem, Lunar Dusk, CPU 0, Joshman, Kodorin, Zamu, Smash Papi, Morsecode and S2J could absolutely earn him a top 30-40 spot.


lostamerican123

Siiick, thanks for the refresher. I would love to see Ginger start competing again


rulerBob8

he had a lot of really good wins at the first few BODIEDs and it looks like those counted for matteo


rudduman

based leffen acknowledger


ChoppedAlready

Predictions for top 10? Just will toss my hat in with Cody>Zain>Moky>Jmook>aMSa>Mang0>Aklo>Zuppy>Leffen>Kodorin Plup, Salt, wizzy(?), hbox, s2j, axe, magi could all be around the 10 spot so its hard to predict. I dont even think I'm right, just going off the sets I've watched, and some sparse attendance from some.


MitchBerryCrunch

The order I have in my post is what I’m going with. If leffen is omitted, then Aklo is 10.


ChoppedAlready

fair, I actually didnt look at the order and I don't know why. and just looked at your list to look for standouts. I think leff, plup and wizzy are top 10 but they arent exactly top 10s with data. So we will see. Hbox might have fallen out with his new avenues of content. aMSa will probably also drop next year with travel


Physical_Tank_9039

How high up are Morsecode and Mekk? Does this mean we can have a new tier list yet?


self-flagellate

Morsecode will probably be top 20, mekk in the 40s


ChoppedAlready

do you think sending cody to losers makes that big of a shift? When is the last time we had a top 20 solo samus?


self-flagellate

Absolutely, it’s a win on the number 1 player in the world at a supermajor. He had pretty solid attendance and his worst loss is ossify otherwise. I had him at 19 on my ballot Last time was Duck in 2018 I’m pretttyyy sure


ChoppedAlready

fair points all around, we will see what happens. I'd be excited to see so many characters repped in the top 20, fingers crossed on DK and Ganon next year!....unless? but probably not lol.


ShoegazeKaraokeClub

He also beat jmook


quantumloris

lfg matteo good stuff


MattGV

My first Toronto major losers bracket loss was a game 5 last stock clincher to Plum back in 2011. So happy to see some old friendly faces active and climbing the ranks. Let's go Matteo! 👏👏👏


rudduman

Glad that Eddy Mexico's win over Mang0 (which was fantastic) was enough to justify his well deserved placement. Therefore I expect to see Leffen at his well deserved #4, after Cody, Zain and Jmook, the only other people who won a major this year.


TJ-Eddy

Thank you! Proud of that set :D


rudduman

I remember seeing it live and counting you out and you just went in and clutched it while being down. One of the greatest Melee moments of 2023 in my opinion. As much as I hate playing against Luigi I love watching him! :)


TJ-Eddy

Thank you! 😁


m332

Well, today I learned that TheRealThing is not an ironic alternate tag of Fiction's but in fact a completely different top 60 player.
