Seeing that our ranking caught a great deal of attention outside of Chile, we decided to do this translated version. Unlike the spanish version, this post will have the full ranking in a single page.

Of course, this is still an amateur translation and it’s prone to spelling mistakes and overlooks. We hope that you enjoy our work and that you can learn a bit more from the Chilean Scene.

– CPR Staff.

50. Miki

Miki is a player from Santiago known for her presence in the “Smash’s Inferno” weeklies. She’s also the only woman ranked in the CPR. With a rapidly improving Bayonetta, her explosive style has demonstrated that she has the capacity to upset any players and that she shouldn’t be taken lightly, because she can get stocks easily with her Witch Times and Dairs.

Even if she didn’t started 2017 with the best placing, taking a 65th at Showdown 8 and 25th at Sekai Series, at the course of the year she obtained victories over players like Dandelion and Haru Maki at Upset City 5, getting a 9th place finish and showing a great improvement that should be watched on 2018.

49. Ness

Hailing from Puerto Montt, Ness got into the ranking after being part of Rosalina Saga, a major that took place at Concepción. He got a 13th place, beating Dandelion’s Fox but failing to beat LinkEa in a really close set that shook the whole Venue.

Even if at the first half of the year he didn’t get great placing, landing 33th on Tropicon and 17th at AM13: Harlonga Saga, it’s known that his Ness shouldn’t be taken lightly, because he always gets good placings and close sets with good players in the “Smash hasta el Amanecer” series that takes place in Puerto Montt.

All of this makes probable that Ness could climb higher in the rank if he were to travel more.

48. Yami

Landing in Concepción as a special guest for Rosalina Saga, this Rosalina main with a cold and calculated defensive style comes from the freezing lands of Punta Arenas, where he is known for being dominant in his local scene, traveling to Concepción to show this.

In the tournament in question he achieved a respectable 13th place, with a good win over SaPo, a Temuco player, to then lose to MK~Iori and failing to beat SaPo again in the runback. Even though he comes from the southern end of Chile, it is clear he is not just another Rosalina and we hope he has the opportunity to travel more and test his skills.

47. *Tawan (@tawan_uwu)

A Villager main from the city of Yungay, also known for his secondary Duck Hunt and Meta Knight. Competing mainly in Concepción, he has a clean neutral and the capacity to find openings to shine through, both with his main and his other characters.

*Tawan had an eventful 2017, attending local tournaments regularly in Bío-Bío, showing that he works hard to improve. He placed 33th in Tropicon with a win over Alexis from Puerto Montt. Later in the year he placed an impressive 13th in Rosalina Saga, where he beat a fellow Villager main, K.K, and had a notable upset against Sho.

46. Alexis

One of the most well known players from Puerto Montt makes it to this list with his trusty Cloud and Fox, with which he makes the most of their speed to pressure the opponent and leave little to no breathing room.

In 2017 Alexis placed 13th in All Mighty 13: Harlonga Saga where he was knocked into losers by Nigga Suit, that didn’t stop him from beating Ness and then having a very close set with Gimpel.

Later in the year he participated in Rosalina Saga, where he got 13th again, maintaining his results. He is a very fast player, especially keeping in mind the explosive nature of both of his characters.

45. Zaga

Yoshi Main from Santiago that makes it to the CPR without assisting to majors, getting his score entirely from minor tournaments. His Yoshi is known for covering a great number of options, trapping the opponent with relentless frame traps.

His best performance was at the classificatory for Limit Break in Santiago, where he got a great deal of victories against good players like OniAneom, Nigga Suit and Canon, making it to the top 8 of that tournament. After this showing it was clear that he has the level to compete in Santiago, and that he’s not far behind of the other chilean Yoshis.

44. Koopa (@BRojasVicencio)

Player from Viña del Mar, known for his friendly personality and both his Luigi and Bowser that you can’t take lightly, or else you’ll be losing your stocks quickly.

In this season Koopa went to other regions a couple of times, getting 25th in both Sekai Series and Rosalina Saga, plus a 49th finish in the supermajor Showdown 8. His best performance was in Torneo Sin Amor, where he was sent to losers in the first round, starting an incredible losers run defeating seasoned players like Snake, Pelon, Zean and Dertolo to finish in 5th place.

43. Muplop (@diegomedina50)

A player from Santiago, known for organizing the weeklies “Smash’s Inferno” and for his Greninja, with his patient style he starts his combos and gets a great deal of damage, which let him get a good placing in this ranking.

At the start of the year he got a 25th finish in Showdown 8, getting wins against Hb2 and Frido, a placing he would repeat at Tropicon: Final Edition in Concepción. Even if Muplop didn’t travel much, it’s easy to note that if he were to go out of his región more he could get better placings.

42. Sergal

A known “Online Warrior” that counts with a Fox and Sheik that both share a precise and aggressive style. Even if he didn’t attend a great number of tournament this season, he had a great showing at Showdown 8 were he was one of the surprises of the tournament, because he wasn’t a really known player and he got a 17th place finish defeating players like El Patrón, Pepsy and ZenMa.

Sergal proved that he could compete at a high level despite his lack of experience and we hope he attends way more in 2018 to reaffirm his good level.

41. Fast

An old Brawl legend in Chile that gradually dropped in attendance as the year went by, even then he has been marked as a hidden boss of Santiago, because he remains a threat despite his inactivity, getting good placings when he attends.

His Sonic is passive and patient, and lead him to good placings in 2017 like 17th at both Showdown 8 and Sekai Series. He didn’t travel outside of Santiago and his attendance there was really low, but he showed that he can maintain his level and its a player one must respect.

40. Snake (@Jonachox)

Another Brawl veteran and one of the pioneers of Fox in Chile, Snake has an aggressive style, known for his use of the Perfect Pivots. Also known in Santiago for his “Smashfests” he was fairly active in the first half of 2017, but he went down in intensity as the year passed.

Snake took part of Torneo Sin Amor getting a 13th place finish, beating both Meta and Dandelion. In Showdown 8 he also got 13th, defeating well-known players like K.K and Lord to get this placing. His last showing of 2017 was at Sekai Series, where he got a 17th place.

Even if he didn’t took part of any tournament at the latter half of 2017, we expect he can maintain his level.

39. OniAneom

Born and raised in Venezuela, OniAneom arrived at Santiago to take a spot in our smash community in 2017, along with his arsenal of characters. Using Sheik, Mewtwo, Mario and a Lucina, showing a good level with all of them and becoming a regular of the local tournaments.

At Showdown 8 he got a great 13th place finish defeating players like Sergal, Frido and Muplop, but his level went down as the year passed by, finishing with a 25th place finish in the classificatory for Limit Break in Santiago.

He had a 2017 of great highs and deep lows, being a player that in a good day can go really far in brackets.

38. Nekokatsu

The self-proclaimed “King” of Smash Chile is also part of the Brawl veterans and he has competed in Smash 4 with his loyal G&W, abusing the combos and some of RNG to obtain victories.

Even if he was really active at the start of the game, in 2017 he started to go less and less to tournaments, even then he got into the ranking thanks to his Showdown 8 showing, getting a 25th place. He also took part of Sekai Series getting a 17th place finish.

In the second half of the year he attended weeklies from time to time and reappeared in The Last Battle, defeating Hades but finishing 17th once again. Even if “The King” has lowered his caliber in 2017 in comparison to other years, he’s still a present threat in his region.

37. Pepsy

One of the best commentators in Chile and known in Santiago for his charisma and sense of humor, Pepsy ranks with his Ness and Donkey Kong, covering a large number of MUs.

In 2017 Pepsy didn’t only play in Santiago, but also traveled frequently. Starting with Showdown 8 where he placed 25th with victories over ZenMa and Koopa, then All Mighty 13: Harlonga Saga in Temuco where he placed 17th and ending with Upset City 5 where he placed 7th with wins over Meta and Miki.

These results show that not only is he a great commentator, but also a great player traveling even to cities as far away as Puerto Montt.

36. FBI

One of the premier Lucarios of Chile, FBI is a player from Santiago and old member of the community. He’s known for a very patient style, withouth fear of making the clock run if it’s necessary to abuse Aura or win by timeout.

In 2017 we didn’t saw a lot of FBI in the weeklys but he was aware of the big tourneys so he wouldn’t miss them. Finishing 25th in Showdown 8 and after that getting a 25th place in Tropicon with wins over El Patrón and Blueblaze

FBI is one of those players that could be considered a Hidden Boss in his region since he doesn’t appear much but when he enters he can make anyone a hard run, besides his style tends to complicate a lot of players, we need to see if his absence doesn’t affect his results considering the metagame that every day goes forward

35. Hades (@fernhades)

Another old member of the Santiago scene, Hades is known for a technical and precise Mewtwo which is able to take multiple sets with the infamous Disable combo.

He started the year with Showdown 8 getting 33th place, then he went to upset city 5 where he took 9th place with wins over Meta, but his peak performance was in Rosalina Saga with wins over Latae, but most importantly, an upset over Firehao, which is a great deed. Those wins let him get a 9th place in one of the most stacked tourneys of 2017.

His last showing was in The Last Battle in Santiago, where he finished in 13th place.

Rising star from Chillán, ZenMa is a solid Diddy main who improved a lot during 2017, each time showing more that he is a threat in any bracket which he enters. Starting his year in Showdown 8 with a incredible upset against Merci, managing to make some great impressions, finishing 33th.

After that he went to Tropicon which he also finished 33th place, but finishing the year he had a better showing at Rosalina Saga, where he placed 17th with a win over Ness. However, his peak performance was in the city of Temuco where he finished 9th place in All Mighty 13: Harlonga Saga getting wins over Asellus, Pepsy and Nigga Suit.

We can see that ZenMa is improving constantly and maybe in the near future he can be considered as one of the best chilean Diddys.

SaPo

Recognized TO from Temuco and member of TMT, plus one of the strongest player from his region. SaPo has a solid and fickle Sheik, adapting to different situations whenever he needs to. SaPo made a strong showing in the 2nd part of 2017 starting with All Mighty 13: Harlonga Saga where he finished 17th place.

After that he finished with a well deserved 9th place in Rosalina Saga, even thought he was sent to losers early by Yami, where he started a loser run and acquiring wins over Blueblaze, Koopa, Rodnand so he could get his rematch against the Rosalina from Punta Arenas, his run was ended by his teammate Gimpel. All this results is proof that SaPo is a player to fear even without traveling too much.

32. Merci (@DaMerciDunk)

From the city of Santiago, he is known for his Mario that in any moment is able to turn out a situation with a well timed Spike (which he post on his Twitter account). Merci had an active year despite some breaks he took in some moments.

Starting with Shin Sekai Tournament with a 13th place where he got a win against Miki, after that in Showdown 8 he finished 49th to the surprise of many since he was expected to reach top 8 at that moment. Then he entered Sekai Series where he got 17th place.

His peak perfomance was in Upset City 3 where he finished 4th with wins over Dandelion, Joaji, Dertolo and Hb2, all in the same loser run. At the end of the year in The Last Battle he finished 9th, showing sparks of his best performance.

Starting 2017 with Torneo Sin Amor he finished 13th with a win over Nigga Suit, after that he had a bad showing in Showdown 8 finishing in 33th place. His year went on with a 17th place in Sekai Series and Tropicon, where he got a win over Lord.

50-31 recap:

30. Rody (@RodySnake)

This wandering player from Santiago didn’t showed in a lot of tourneys in 2017 but he went to multiple ones that were considered for this ranking.

In 4Keen Edición Santiago he finished 7th where he got a win over Kiddo, then in Sekai Series he got 9th place with wins over Snake and Phantom. A player that attend in intervals of times because of the nature his job, also he doesn’t tend to participate in tourneys out of his region, but in spite of his absence he keeps being considered a threat in any tournament he enters.

29. Meta (@EpsilonMeta)

Known in the community by his set analysis and for being the best Corrin in Chile, Meta manages to get 29th place in the ranking thanks to his good showings in Showdown 8, where he got 25th place with a win over Canon in his pool, but his aspirations of a better place were cut off by Sekai Doggo and Benja.

Later in the year Meta reappeared in Sekai Series, where he made a great upset against Joaji in first round, after that he lost against Kiddo. In losers he managed to advance defeating Nekokatsu, but his run was put into an end by Kazuki.

After this, Meta was inactive in great part of the year until Rosalina Saga where he ended 25th after falling against Frido and Diogamma. Without a doubt a player with potential, that can make upsets when he is focused in the game.

28. Phiven

Known character in Santiago and in the Smash Chile community, with a Luigi that has a polished neutral and a good execution of combos, he often delivers great damage from a single grab.

Then, in Shin Sekai Tournament he got 9th place with wins over Pepsy and Zean, after this he didn’t had notable results untils The Last Battle at the end of the year, where he took 13th place.

Sadly, Phiven wasn’t really active in the 2nd part of the year, with the exception of The Last Battle, but in that tournament he made it clear that he’s not a player to be taken lightly.

27. Haru Maki

Prominent Cloud main from Santiago, distinguished by a patient game base, he searches for an opening to start pressuring his rival, leading to a quick cross slash to take the stock, not being cautious against him can mean getting hit by a string of Uairs, plus he has a Meta Knight that comes out if the situation demands it.

Then, in 4Keen Edición Santiago he took 9th place with wins over OniAneom and then dissapeared untill the end of the year, when he attended Clasificatorio Limit Break reaching a 7th place with wins over Miki and Kazuki.

25. Edu

The representative of the north lands inside the top 30 from Antofagasta. Edu dual mains Fox and Captain Falcon which both have the same fast and agile style to break his opponent and if he can, to style on him.

Since he lives far from where the majors are being held, the central and south part of the country, Edu only attended to Showdown 8 which was enough to enter in a very respectable position in the ranking.

In that tourney he managed to end in 9th place with wins over Kane and LinkEa, and was eliminated by Joaji and Kazuki with close sets against both. You could say that is proof of his skill his showing in the supermajor and despite competing in only one event his level is clear.

The best Toon Link of Chile had a great showing during last year, going to every major of 2017, being his worst showing a respectable 17th place at Showdown 8, and getting top 8 in all the others, Rollo reaffirms his place as one of Chile’s top players.

Hailing from Curicó, he moved to Santiago in the second half of the 2017, beating constantly a great bunch of top 20 players. Sadly, Rollo couldn’t take a single game against their fellow top 10 players, having an abysmal 0% win rate against them.

With his characteristic patient and calculated playstyle, based on bait and punish, Rollo is a threat to any player that faces him. Also, he has a secondary Fox that comes out when he has his back against the wall, or to cover certain match-ups from Toon Link.

In the end, his positive record against mid-high level players and good placings all along the year gave Rollo an earned 10th spot in the first version of the Chile Power Ranking.

9. Joaji (@Joaji_)

Chile’s Best Rosalina says present in the Chile Power Ranking. Using Rosalina’s tools to abuse from the mistakes made by his opponents mixed with an aggressive game to pressure them, he started the year in a great way at the supermajor Showdown 8, beating Harlonga in his pool, to then defeat Edu and losing in a really close set against MK~Iori.

In losers he came back with a clear victory against Benja to then face Keen, who defeated him, finishing his run at a great 4th place in the first major of 2017.

Joaji had a season full of highs and lows, having his peak at the already mentioned Showdown 8. After that he got a 7th place at Sekai Series, and a 9th place both at Tropicon: Final Edition and AM13: Harlonga Saga. In addition to this, his passive/aggressive game let him beat a great deal of players along the season, such a Dertolo, Rollo and Harlonga.

He got a 23.5% win rate against the top 10, Joaji could keep his 9th place in the ranking despite being away from the scene in the latter part of 2017, we hope that in 2018 he will be back to being more active, so he can show his level.

8. Dertolo (@DertoloSBC)

One of the tops Diddy Kongs from Santiago, known in his community for participating in the great majority of tourneys, Dertolo takes hold of the 8th place in the Chile Power Rankings thanks to his great attendance and good results in the central zone of the country.

Even though he only went to 3 of the 5 majors and got a low 25th placing in Showdown 8, he turned his situation in Sekai Series where he got 9th and finally in Tropicon: Final Edition, where he placed 5th eliminating Dandy, Joaji, Kazuki and LinkEa, to be beaten by Firehao in winners and then by MK~Iori in a really close set.

Besides his great neutral game, Dertolo haves a great arsenal of seconds and pockets that can appear if the situations demands it, where Sheik, Greninja and Mr Game and Watch stand out, being this last one the protagonist in the set against Iori in Tropicon.

Going to so many tournaments in the year let him to take wins over other top players like Firehao and Harlonga, getting a 25% of win rate against the top 10 in the ranking. With his constancy and will to improve, we have no doubt that Dertolo will keep rising his level in 2018.

7. Tales (@0Tales0)

Hailing from Concepción, Tales made it to the 7th spot of the CPR without leaving the south of Chile.

Known for his Luigi that’s capable to extend combos till higher percentages, and also get the cruelest punish on his rival’s mistakes, Tales started his season with a great 5th place at AM13: Harlonga Saga, beating ZenMa, Joaji and Gimpel, being defeated by Firehao and MK~Iori, his personal demon.

His best performance was at Tropicon: Final Edition, where he defeated his teammate Sekai Doggo, only to lose against MK~Iori once more. That would be the start of an epic loser’s run, where he defeated Joaji, Rollo, Harlonga, MK~Iori and Firehao in a row. In grand finals he faced Keen, losing in a very close set, getting a great 2nd place finish.

That great showing extended until Rosalina Saga, where he defeated ZenMa and Nigga Suit, then losing to Keen. After that he went into another loser’s run, this time defeating Linkea, Firehao, Keen in the runback, and getting once again a second place finish after losing to MK~Iori in grand finals.

Even if he was part of a small number of tournaments counted toward this Ranking, his good showings make him one of the more solid player, having a 53,8% of win rate against the top 3. Nobody would be surprised if Tales climbed even further in the next ranking, if he decided to travel more in 2018.

6. LinkEa (@LinkEa4)

The best Link in Chile and probably in South America opens his path into this ranking, finishing in 6th place.

Coming from Villa Alemana and with a notable performance in his scene of Valparaiso, he won a big amount of local tournaments which allows him to be the only one with a positive count against Keen. It can be said that 2017 has been the best year for LinkEa.

Taking only 13th place in Showdown 8, falling surprisingly against Edu and being eliminated by Harlonga, he didn’t started the year in the best way. This placing repeated itself in AM13: Harlonga Saga, meanwhile in Sekai Series he got 4th place defeating Dandelion, Zean, Kazuki, Phantom and Rollo, being double eliminated by Harlonga in the tournament.

In Rosalina Saga he fell early against Dandelion, but he stood up and made an incredible loser run defeating ZenMa, Ness, Hades and Rollo, only being stopped by Tales, finishing 5th place in that tournament.

A great amount of victories in the season that results in a 61,5% of win rate against the top 10 of the ranking, establishing LinkEa as one of the best players of the country.

5. Phantom (@PhantomJPaul)

A great player from Santiago, known mostly for his Diddy Kong and Cloud, and for his great attendance to the regions tournaments. Phantom didn’t have the most active season in Chile, because he spend a couple of months competing in both Mexico and USA.

His local participation was mostly in the first half of the 2017, where he got a 9th place at Showdown 8, being surprisingly defeated by Benja. Phantom also got a 7th place finish at Sekai Series, losing early against Rody, only to make a great loser’s run defeating Canon, Frido and Dertolo, losing in a close set against LinkEa.

Phantom best placing in a Chilean major was at AM13: Harlonga Saga, defeating Lord, ZenMa and Rollo to get a 5th place finish after defeating MK~Iori and Firehao.

His good showings in smaller tournaments meant a great number of victories over players like Dertolo, Joaji, Rollo, Keen, Harlonga and Firehao, getting him a Winrate of 53,3% over the top 10 of this ranking. It’s clear that Phantom it’s not only one of Chile’s best player, but he’s also ready to compete toe to toe at any place.

4. MK~Iori (@MK_Iori)

Renown Sheik from Chillán appears in the 4th place of this Chile Power Ranking, with an impressive registry in majors, Iori solidifies even more his position as one of the top players of the country.

Iori started the year with the supermajor Showdown 8, in which he defeated Benja, Sekai Doggo, Phantom and Joaji, only falling to Firehao and Keen, getting 3th place. That placing repeated itself in AM13: Harlonga Saga, this time winning against Dandelion, Joaji, Phantom, Tales and Firehao, falling against Keen and Harlonga respectively.

His worst showing was in Tropicon: Final Edition, where he beated players like Kazuki, Dertolo and Tales, losing against Keen and after that in the runback against Tales, finishing in 4th place.

However, Iori turned his situation and finished the year in the best way in Rosalina Saga where he won against Yami, Rollo, Frido, Keen and Tales in an impeccable winners run that gave him the 1st place without losing a single set.

Its clear that Iori is one of the best players in Chile, counting with a 60% of win rate against the top 10, he only needed to make more presence in the minors tourneys to be ranked better in this first version of the CPR.

3. Harlonga

Chile’s best Wario, being one of the best of the world too, gets the #3 spot on the first CPR. Known for his patient style and his brutal punishes, also being a regular of Santiago’s scene, Harlonga is without a doubt one of the best players of our country.

He started his year with a 5th place finish at Showdown 8, surprisingly losing against Joaji in his pool, to then defeat El Patrón, Linkea, Kiddo and Rollo, finally losing against Keen. This placing was repeated at Tropicon, where he defeated FBI and LinkEa, losing to Firehao and Tales.

One of the peaks of Harlonga was at Sekai Series, where he got a great second place, but it would be his own saga the place where Harlonga would get his best placing of 2017. In AM13: Harlonga Saga he defeated Sekai Doggo, El Patrón and Firehao, losing against Keen in Winner’s Finals.But the story didn’t end there, and after defeating MK~Iori at losers finals, Harlonga got a chance to run it back against Keen, he reseted the bracket and then defeated Keen one more time to win the tournament.

With a 58,8% win rate against the top 10, there is no doubt that Harlonga is one of Chile’s Best and that his place at the top 3 is more than deserved.

2. Firehao (@FirehaoChile)

One of the best Diddy Kongs in Chile takes the 2nd place in this CPR. Firehao sports a more reactive style, based in abusing his rivals mistakes to extend his advantage. He is highly regarded for his participation in the local tourneys “Smash’s Inferno” of Santiago, plus his brutal ledge trapping which suffocates his rivals offstage.

Firehao started the year in the best way with an impressive run in Showdown 8 defeating players like Nigga Suit, Kazuki, Kiddo, Keen and Iori to fight against Keen again in Grand Final, which was able to reset him but Firehao stood strong to win the supermajor.

After this he had a little slope in his performance, getting 3th place in Sekai Series and Tropicon, plus 4ths places in Harlonga Saga and Rosalina Saga, which meant a 46.7% win rate against the top 10 in this ranking.

However, along the year he won against players like Nigga Suit, Lord, Gimpel, Kazuki, Frido, Dertolo, Tales, Harlonga, Keen and Phantom in repeated occasions at minor tournaments, plus he never got below 5th place in the tourneys he entered, going through winners quickly until the final parts of the tourney in most of the times, showing that he is one of the most fearsome players in Chile.

1. Keen (@Keen_Herrera)

Hailing from Valparaíso, Chile’s best fox was able to get the #1 spot of the first version of the CPR, with an amazing 2017. Known for his offensive play style that apprehends the rival, even taking early stocks if you’re not paying attention, Keen had great results on 2017.

He started his year with a second place at Showdown 8, beating Haru Maki, Zean and Rollo, being defeated by Firehao. In loser’s bracket he eliminated Harlonga, Joaji, MK~Iori to earn a runback against the Diddy main, resetting the bracket. But that wasn’t enough, as Keen failed to win the second set and finished 2nd in the first major of the season.

After that, he had a great showing at Sekai Series, defeating Hb2, Kiddo, Rollo, Firehao and Harlonga, winning his first major of 2017 without dropping a single set. Keen repeated this feat at Tropicon: Final Edition, getting solid wins against players like Canon, MK~Iori and Tales, winning the tournament in a unappealable way.

Furthermore, Keen also got a second place at AM13: Harlonga Saga, where he lost against Harlonga in Grand Finals. His 2017 came to an end with his worst showing at a major, getting a 3rd place finish at Rosalina Saga, after losing to MK~Iori and Tales.

As the year went by, Keen managed to defeat all the other players of the top 10, having a losing register only against LinkEa, who he also beat once nonetheless. With a crushing 71.1% win rate against the top 10, there is not a single doubt that Keen was 2017’s best player. His mision for 2018 will be to reaffirm what he did on the past year.
