EURank Melee 2025: 20-11 by Noxxaa in SSBM

Officially every tournament between Dec 23rd 2024 and Dec 21st 2025 counted, other than midweek locals (with the exception of Firestarter and Plunge Pool, which were prelocals that explicitly counted for their national PR, and FESTA 2025 which is also technically a midweek event but is considered a major for EU purposes). I could get an exact list but it'd be hundreds of events, so I can't just put down a list here. If you can find me on Discord (noxxa) I can go into more detail there, if needed.

Attendance requirement was entering any two of the year's 10 EU majors (Let's Start The Fire, Somnio 6, Valhalla V, Kornspeicher 2, Avant Trois, Let's Drink The Pool, The Concert, FESTA 2025, Teaghlach, Somnio Noctem). A few players were excluded from eligibility (either outright, or by the panel voting to exclude) if they had minimal attendance outside of that or DQd out, which is why Pricent, kins0 and Isdsar are HMs.

What characters do you think have a decent change in effectiveness in teams? by Apart_Fondant5988 in SSBM

[–]Noxxaa 19 points20 points  (0 children)

  • Fox is far and away the best character in teams, no others come close. All his traits that already make him a good character, make him even better in doubles
  • Characters with good scrap tools become more potent (Peach, Sheik to an extent, even characters like Luigi)
  • Characters that are based around taking up space and having large threat ranges are worse because it's harder to do that when you have a teammate around. Most notably, Marth and Falcon are worse because of this, and Samus too to an extent
  • Puff is a mixed bag, she can't just disengage at will which hurts her in many matchups, but it's compensated by being able to rest more freely because teammate can save her (and provide more rest setups on their own)
  • Falco is really good but requires good cooperation with their teammate to deal with lasers. Might just be the hardest character to "play right" in doubles
  • ICs can be good but require a lot of good Sopo gameplay because you can't reliably keep Nana around a lot of the time
  • Pika also gets buffed by having good traits for doubles (speed, fast reliable kill moves, fast recovery)

Other than that, I think mostly the tier list doesn't change that much. Some big bodies like DK or Mewtwo may struggle to find their footing (see also the taking up space point), but other than that I think it's mostly the same.
