2. Armada
Armada is the number 1 player in the entire world for the game Super Smash Bros Melee. He dual mains Fox and Peach and had a very very successful 2015 tournament year. Armada won well over $100k in tournament prize money this year, which if you are familiar to smash tournaments you know you have to win a ton to make anything close to that. Armada is from Sweden and even though the competitive scene over there isn't as great as it is over here he does well for himself. He actually has been one of the biggest advocates for Melee's competitive growth throughout all of the years. I have even heard rumors of a documentary coming out detailing Armadas life with Melee. Armada's play style with either of his characters is simply an insane punish game. He won't do any of the unpredictable crazy things that Mang0 does, but everything he does is ludicrously efficient. In a game like Super Smash Bros it is very difficult to do the perfect thing at the perfect time all the time. Armada is an example of someone who can do that, he has some sort of sense in him to be able to do the exact right thing at the exact right time. There are other players that have shown they have potential to do something like Armada has done, but anyone has yet to rise up and overcome him. Although, there is another player from Sweden named Leffen who was also ranked number top 5 in the world and had a chance at the rank 1 title, but unfortunately something happened with his Visa when coming to The Big House 5 in Michigan and the Us government wouldn't let him in the country. Armada's future unlike Mang0s is looking extremely promising. In almost every tournament he entered and played in he placed in the top 8. As long as players like Leffen and Mang0 don't figure out how to beat the way he plays he will be alright. Although he did come 2nd in the last major tournament of the 2015 year, there should be no reason for anyone to overlook him as not the favorite to win every tournament.
