So we’re finally down to the top 20. The players from here on out aren’t just good — they are the elite. With high placements at the tournaments they attended, and demonstrating an incredibly high level of skill, these players are some of the most respected in the entire scene.

#20 – Mast3rOfFlavor

Undisputedly the greatest player to debut at The End of Shrek SuperSlam, Mast3rOfFlavor is an experienced Robin Hood main with a consistently deadly punish game. Despite an unfortunate bracket, Mast3r put up a strong fight anyway, defeating asurfingturtle, crashbfan, and dilliam (Bone), before a narrow loss to Flick in a close game 3 set. Though he only finished 9th, perhaps in another world — or even with a different bracket — he could have made it much further. One of the most promising up-and-coming players, the future is bright if Mast3r continues to compete in Season 2.

#19 – Stickyhands

m0th once said that Stickyhands was the sickest Shrek SuperSlam player of all time. And though he retired from the game after Shrekmas, his results over the course of the scene’s life are undeniably great. Perhaps his most iconic performance was at Absolutely Pissed Off 2, where he defeated Jv5_Guy, Sarger, hunterstuff and EIREXE on a monstrous losers’ run, literally ending EIREXE’s career in the process. Though his results dropped off later in the scene’s life, the impact made by this legendary Pinocchio main will never be forgotten.

#18 – EIREXE

Making his debut at Slam in the Swamp, EIREXE immediately established himself as a top contender, defeating Mr. Misfire, Murtag, and Crumpet, and taking games from both kirby and BoastingToast. He remained a strong threat after the scene’s revival, defeating Flick, Lord Ape, and Sorzan to place 3rd at Absolutely Pissed Off behind ProviderOfSouls and BoastingToast. Unfortunately, his career came to a controller-cutting end, when he was upset by Stickyhands to place 4th at Absolutely Pissed Off 2. But make no mistake — EIREXE is one of the all-time greats.

#17 – DroQshrex

Lalzu once asked who said DroQshrex was the Charming GOAT. Well, we’re saying it today. DroQshrex has, without a doubt, the greatest results of any Prince Charming main in Shrek SuperSlam, boasting wins over m0th64, Stickyhands, and RetroGamersGuru. Despite his playstyle mostly revolving around rolls and specials, DroQ is proof that nothing quite beats good fundamentals.

#16 – Lord Ape

The other half of ShrekBoards (along with Lalzu), Lord Ape had incredibly strong placements during his entire slamming career. Starting with a strong 4th place at Heir II the Throne with a win over veteran slammer Murtag, Lord Ape quickly established himself as a strong contender. He followed this up with strong placements at both Absolutely Pissed Off instalments, with wins over Sorzan and Flick and even managing to take redridingshrek to the brink in a close game 5 set. Unfortunately he retired from the scene after a strong 3rd place at the first Time to Get Shrekt, but there’s no doubt that he belongs among the elite.

#15 – m0th64

Originally, Robin Hood was not considered to be a good character. The first tier list that ranked Robin Hood placed him at a middling 10th place, far lower than he is considered to be today. This rise in placement is in no small part due to m0th64, who was the first truly skilled Robin Hood main. A regular contributor on ShrekBoards, m0th helped advance the game’s meta in the early days, whilst also founding the incredibly skilled Georgia scene. There are also rumours that m0th is the legendary Fiona Ogre main LadyLiberté herself, though nobody has been able to confirm this.

#14 – RetroGamersGuru

Towards the end of Shrek SuperSlam’s lifetime, tournament attendance greatly decreased, and tournaments themselves became rarer and rarer. There was arguably no player affected more by this than RetroGamersGuru, who truly came into his own element at the end of the game’s life. Boasting highs such as taking a game off of TheBoiWhoCriedWolf, and going 4-5 in a game against sirensarecalling, Retro proved that he could go toe-to-toe with the game’s greats. Denied the opportunity to play against players in his new skill tier, all we have to go off of are these promising late-era performances, and his disappointing early losses to players such as PartlyAwesome and LoveExpert. Many people theorise Retro could be as skilled as a top 5 player, so if he returns in Season 2, it’s impossible to tell just how far he could go.

#13 – Flick

Perhaps one of the most difficult players to rank, Flick’s constant sandbagging and character switches made it very tough to evaluate his true skill. Despite many disappointing losses over the years, he finally made a splash at the most final two tournaments, including wins over Sorzan, Mast3rOfFlavor, and hunterstuff. Is this because he finally stuck to Luna and Dronkey, two top tier characters? Or did he just finally decide to actually try? Either way, he decisively proved once and for all that he can compete with the top tier players. Maybe, just maybe, you can expect good things from him in the future.

#12 – Sorzan

The humpty god. The low tier hero. No matter what you call him, Sorzan is one of the most exciting Shrek SuperSlam players of all time. Not only is he the highest ranked low tier main, but his main (Humpty Dumpty) is one of the most unique characters in the game. Humpty’s punish game is relatively quite awful, so he depends on his high mobility and mindgames to outplay his opponents. So when you combine this with a flashy, exciting player, it makes for a great combination. Boasting wins over redridingshrek, Glacey, and Rubbermaid, Sorzan proved that he’s one of the greatest players of all time.

#11 – Rubbermaid

The man who killed the muffin man himself, Rubbermaid unfortunately barely falls short of breaking into the top 10. Joining the scene at the small netplay tournament Shrek it Up! Weekly #1, Rubbermaid was the first Gingerbread Man main to truly explore the limits of the character in a post-Crumpet world. With innovations such as rolling to continue combos, and being well-rounded in all aspects of the game, Rubbermaid is truly one of the most skilled Shrek SuperSlam players of all time.
