Greetings one and all to the opening of the fourth annual ranking of Project M's top 50 players, PMRank 2019! We are very excited to begin unveiling this year's rankings, but first we want to acknowledge a couple of players who very nearly missed out on a top 50 spot. These two players feature uncommon characters along with their uncommon skill, and we hope this taste of what's to come will only build greater expectations of the competitors on the horizon.Christopher “” Williams grabbed national attention this year piloting the scarcely used and seldom understood Olimar to new heights. Currently residing in the MD/VA region, ~CP9~ has travelled to several marquee East Coast events such as Blacklisted 5, where he netted a win against Aidan of PMRank 2018 fame. Much of the rest of his year was more modest thanks to losses at the hands of GodTouch, Anthony, Motobug, and fellow Olimar player Dotcom, but ~CP9~ closed out the year on a high note at Lazer Lazer 20, where he bested Florida’s TomBoComBo and Illinois’ Ripple. His crisp powershields and surprising agility even led him to take a game against Switch before landing him at 5th place. ~CP9~ may not have achieved a top 50 spot in 2019, but if his dogged character loyalty and contagious laughter are any indication, he has no plans to slow down in 2020.FlashingFireAlready widely recognized for his frequent and inventive netplay clips featured in his combo videos and Clips of the Week, Dan “” Grizzly showed that he can carry both style and substance into tournament environments this year. Easily his most notable demonstration of this was when he upset Project M titan Switch at I Can’t Beelieve It’s Not 3.6!, a head-turning career highlight. While it’s understandably difficult to match that kind of peak, the rest of Grzly’s 2019 resume doesn’t carry quite the same spark. It features a win against dedicated ROB main Comb at East Coast National Blacklisted 5, but it also includes losses to players such as Zork, KeyChain and Anthony, showing that deep bracket runs remain a challenge for the New Yorker. Still, if Grzly keeps up the effort, you might be seeing more and more tournament layouts in his 2020 combo videos.FlashingFireStay tuned over the course of the next two weeks, as we work our way toward the top of the rankings! We are incredibly excited to celebrate the accomplishments of our most skilled players. Please fasten your wrist straps, and enjoy the ride.PMRank Staff:Graphic Design and Character Renders:Editor-in-Chief:Additional Editing:
