Jaice
Best rank: #1 in QLD (equal 1st)
Current Rank: #1 in QLD (equal 1st)
Best result: 1st / 44
Best character(s): Rosalina & Luma
Notable wins: Jezmo, Skry (Apollo), Archaze, Fool, Luminescent, Shitashi
Previous major results: None
Considered the best Rosalina in Australia by many and one of Queensland’s top players he is expected to go deep in this major. Has not travelled interstate for a tournament to my knowledge so it will be interesting to see where he stands. The only one in his home state that can touch him is Jezmo.
Jezmo
Best Rank: #1 in QLD (outright)
Current Rank: #1 in QLD (equal 1st)
Best Result: 1st / 53
Best character(s): Diddy, Captain Falcon, Pikachu, Luigi
Notable wins: Jaice, Skry (Apollo), Archaze, Fool, Luminescent, Shitashi
Previous major results: None
A favourite for many to win the entire tournament; considered to be the best player in the whole country right now by some (although it is hard to say how good he really is due to not leaving QLD yet). His skill at the game is incredible high and he can pick up pretty much any character in the roster and be tough with them. Diddy is probably his ‘best’ character, but can change to any other and be just as devastating.
Shitashi
Best Rank: #2 in QLD
Current Rank: #4 in QLD (equal 4th)
Best Result: 1st / 25
Best character(s): Megaman
Notable wins: Jezmo, Archaze, Fool, HopeDealer, Flex
Previous major results: None
A unique player to play against; he uses the stage and platforms well to his advantage and plays a slow and defensive game by using his projectiles smartly. He will be tough competition for some players who aren’t used to his style. Considered Australia’s best Megaman main.
HopeDealer
Best Rank: #7 in QLD (equal)
Current Rank: #7 in QLD (equal)
Best Result: 1st / 16
Best character(s): Fox
Notable Wins: Luminescent, Flex
Previous Major Results: None
It’s tough going for anyone who isn’t top 3 in QLD at the moment due to the strong talent at the top end of the scale, but against other interstate players he may cause some upsets.
Flex
Best Rank: #9 in QLD (Equal)
Current Rank: #9 in QLD (Equal)
Best Result: 1st / 21
Best character(s): Metaknight
Notable Wins: Archaze, Fool HopeDealer
Previous Major Results: None
Another PR threat from QLD who may cause some trouble for some players during this tournament. Hard to judge how well he will do as with all other QLDer players since many have not travelled out of the state to play yet.
Aerodrome
Best rank: #7 in QLD
Current Rank: None
Best Result: 1st / 8
Best character(s): Bowser, Sheik
Notable Wins: Luminescent, Fool, Flex
Previous Major Results: None
As the creator of the Kurogane Hammer frame data website, he knows the game better than perhaps anyone else in Australia. Has been getting dangerously good lately with a certain character he wants to keep secret.
NSW
Kira
Best Rank: #2 in NSW
Current Rank: #2 in NSW
Best Result: 1st / 32
Best character(s): Zero Suit Samus, Rosalina
Notable wins: M, RandySavage, Waveguider, Jei, Atilla, V, Extra, Ignis, JonCheee
Previous major results: 1st at DI Another Day, 3rd Town & Sydney, 5th BAM
Has a very good track record in previous major events. Her Zero Suit is one of the most dangerous in the country and also has a good Roslina to fall back on if she needs a match up change. Her performance in Perth was especially good; however she did end up with an amazing bracket run after some other top threats got knocked out in upsets. If things fall her way she can easily take this event.
M (Ricky)
Best Rank: #3 in NSW
Current Rank: #3 in NSW
Best Result: 1st / 40
Best character(s): Palutena, Sonic
Notable wins: RandySavage, Scarpian, Ateyo, Ignis, Xettman, Dean,
Previous major results: 2nd DI Another Day, 5th Town & Sydney, 13th at BAM
Hands down the best Palutena in Australia, though can swap to Sonic if he needs to. For those who don’t have a lot of Palutena experience he will be an extremely tough opponent, but even for those who know how to play him he is still very solid.
Scarpian
Best Rank: #8 in NSW
Current Rank: #8 in NSW
Best Result: 1st / 16
Best character(s): Captain Falcon
Notable wins: RandySavage, Kira, M, Jei,
Previous major results: 17th at Town & Sydney
Australia has plenty of dangerous Captain Falcon players and this guy is right up there. Would be a huge longshot to win but does have the potential if all the stars align.
Atyeo
Best Rank: None
Current Rank: None
Best Result: 1st / 16
Best character(s): Fox
Notable wins: RandySavage, Scarpian, Atilla, V, Tibs, Dean
Previous major results: 2nd at BAM, 7th Town & Sydney
Had a fantastic run during BAM, providing one of the most exciting Smash 4 grand final matches ever against V. Many would consider him to be the best Fox main in Australia. Will be a big threat if he comes psyched up.
ACT
Waveguider
Best Rank: #1 in ACT
Current Rank: #1 in ACT
Best Result: 1st / 57
Best character(s): Wii Fit Trainer
Notable wins: Skry (Apollo), Ateyo, M, Kira, Ignis, Extra, Shaya, Ghostbone, Rhyno
Previous major results: 1st at Town & Sydney, 5th at BAM
Unconfirmed if he will be attending or not, but if he does he will be a red hot favourite to go all the way and win a trip to compete in the USA. Considered one of the top players in the country, he is an absolute beast at the game and the best Wii Fit Trainer in Australia if not the world.
VIC
Earl
Best Rank: #1 in VIC
Current Rank: #1 in VIC
Best Result: 1st / 123
Best character(s): Ryu, Little Mac
Notable wins: Extra, Attila, Ignis, V, Jei, Waveguider, Corpsecrate, Elton, Nikes
Previous major results: 4th at BAM, 7th at DI another Day
Hyped by many as one of the best players in the country, but hands down the best Ryu and Little Mac in Australia. Very vulnerable to unexpected upsets, but against the best players he is an absolute force to be reckoned with, having made some of the best players in the country look like a warm up on occasions. He is currently maining Ryu, but can switch back to his original Little Mac main at any time and be just as scary. A top pick to win the whole event.
Extra
Best Rank: #3 in VIC
Current Rank: #3 in VIC
Best Result: 1st / 96
Best character(s): Wario, Mr. Game & Watch
Notable wins: Earl, Attila, V, Ignis, M, RandySavage, Ateyo
Previous major results: 4th at Town & Sydney, 13th at BAM
A player who came out of nowhere and got very good very quickly. His Wario is especially scary as he can win matches from way behind with a well-timed Wario Waft. Would expect him to go deep in bracket and is also a huge x factor to sneak into first place.
Ignis
Best Rank: #5 in VIC
Current Rank: #5 in VIC
Best Result: 1st / 17
Best character(s): Mario, Robin, Luigi, Rosalina
Notable wins: Extra, Jei, Shaya, Kira, Ghostbone
Previous major results: 2nd Town & Sydney, 4th DI another Day, 9th BAM
Another Victorian that has the ability to go all the way if things go well. A consistent performer and has a very ‘Mew2King’ sort of vibe coming off of him in the way that he calculates his game plans. Expect him to be hanging around during top 8 with a sneaky chance of going all the way.
Boozer
Best Rank: #9 in VIC
Current Rank: #9 in VIC
Best Result: 2nd / 19
Best character(s): Bowser
Notable wins: Earl, Extra, Ignis, Jei, Elton
Previous major results: 9th at DI Another Day
A journeyman who was once lauded as a source of amusement on QLD Smash over several of his early placings. Since switching to his namesake in Bowser he has vastly improved and is a serious threat if not taken lightly. Makes too many errors to go all the way but could provide some big upsets.
Dean
Best Rank: #5 in VIC
Current Rank: None
Best Result: 2nd / 26 (3DS)
Best character(s): King Dedede
Notable wins: Tibs, Bijou, Corpsecreate, Jaice, Fool, Archaze, V, Ignis
Previous major results: 17th at BAM
The best Dedede in Australia right now. Can live to ridiculously high percent with his Dedede and great DI skill. Often does not play at his best, but if he feels like winning he can be a very tall mountain to climb. May provide some big upsets.
Rhyno
Best Rank: #6 in VIC
Current Rank: None
Best Result: 3rd / 98
Best character(s): Captain Falcon, Roy
Notable wins: Extra, Ignis, Jei, Swithi
Previous major results: 9th at BAM
A huge smokey pick and was one of Victoria’s best players in the first half of 2015. Many top players rate his ability highly; do not be surprised to see him cause some upsets. Considered to be one of Australia’s top Captain Falcon mains and top Roy main.
Bijou
Best Rank: #9 in VIC
Current Rank: None
Best Result: 1st / 78
Best character(s): Bowser Jr.
Notable wins: Earl, Attila, Extra, Ignis, Ghostbone, M
Previous major results: 7th at BAM
Considered to be the best Bowser Jr. player in Australia. Will contend well but is unlikely to place very highly. Has potential to cause some big upsets against some of the top level players who may not have much match up knowledge against Bowser Jr.
Duon
Best Rank: None
Current Rank: None
Best Result: 1st / 13
Best character(s): Little Mac
Notable wins: Attila, Jei, Boozer, Extra, Revax, Dean
Previous major results: None
Ensuring that Victoria will always be known for its frightening Little Mac players, enter Duon. Has steadily improved himself in recent months and is not to be taken lightly. He plays Little Mac differently to Earl but that does not make it any easier.
Swithi
Best Rank: None
Current Rank: None
Best Result: 5th / 32
Best character(s): Sonic
Notable Wins: Earl, Attila, Kira
Previous Major Results: None
His above stats are fairly misleading as he has been doing very well at local S@S tournaments over the last couple of weeks. Has taken out huge top threats before including Kira and Earl, plus several other top players who attend the S@S that I sadly don't have data for. Massive underdog with huge upset potential.
Xettman
Best Rank: None
Current Rank: None
Best Result: 2nd / 16
Best character(s): Link
Notable wins: Extra, Jei
Previous major results: None
A tough Link player who has caused a few recent upsets. Been consistently hanging around top 10 in Victoria since August which many locals will tell you isn’t all that easy given how volatile some of the VIC results are. Watch for upsets here.
Deez
Best Rank: None
Current Rank: None
Best result: 2nd / 8
Best character(s): Lucario
Notable wins: Jei, Boozer, Duon, Bijou, Leisha
Previous Major Results: 25th at Town & Sydney
Known mostly for his infamy as opposed to his ability, it would be wise not to take him lightly. Probably the best Lucario in the country and he knows how to abuse all of Lucario's janky mechanics. In Victoria, being beaten by Lucario's Aura on low percent is known as "getting Deez'd" and it happens more often than you'd think. Can cause some big upsets.
Leisha
Best Rank: None
Current Rank: None
Best Result: 3rd / 17
Best character(s): R.O.B
Notable wins: Extra, Boozer, Deez
Previous major results: 13th at DI another Day, 17th at BAM
Plays a very tricky zoning ROB that can catch you off guard. Must be taken seriously at all times for players of any skill level and expected to make it out of pools into top bracket.
SA
Ghostbone
Best Rank: #1 in SA
Current Rank: #1 in SA
Best Result: 1st / 56
Best character(s): Metaknight, Diddy, Sheik
Notable wins: Nikes, Boozer, Tibs
Previous major results: 9th at BAM
One of the players that SA are counting on to get a result for them in their own state. Has vastly improved since his BAM performance and has been dominating the SA scene for the last 6 months. Could be a contender to take out 1st place especially with a home ground advantage.
Nikes
Best Rank: #2 in SA
Current Rank: #2 in SA
Best Result: 1st / 30
Best character(s): Yoshi
Notable wins: Empire, Brush, Con, Extra
Previous major results: 17th at BAM
Hyped early as a strong player of note after his performance during Miles Warehouse 2, he has remained a very solid player going forward and is considered one of the best Yoshi players in Australia. Would have likely been dominating his scene if not for Ghostbone who seems to have his measure for now. With so many strong players entering this tournament he may escape from Ghostbone’s hold and run rampant against the interstate threats coming in. Can potentially win the whole tournament if things fall into place for him.
WA
exmantika
Best Rank: #4 in WA
Current Rank: #4 in WA
Best Result: 1st / 50
Best character(s): Rosalina
Notable wins: Elton, Exor, Kevin
Previous major results: 13th at DI another Day
The only representative from WA so far. Don't know much about him other than the fact he uses Rosalina, Not expecting him to be a top threat but he will probably make it out of pools.

Also, Swithi has decided to attend if you believe him to be a threat, which you probably should.

Best character(s): Luigi, Charizard
Notable wins: Kira, M, Killy, Shaya, Scarpian
Previous major results: 9th at Town & Sydney
A force to be reckoned with in Sydney, and one of the best Luigi players in the country. He also has a very solid Charizard that he can pull out if the matchup isn't going his way. Although he is untested outside his hometown, he definitely has the potential to force his way deep into the bracket.
Invisi
Best rank: None
Current Rank: None
Best result: 5th / 16
Best character(s): Jigglypuff
Notable wins: None
Previous major results: 25th at Town & Sydney, 33rd at DI Another Day
Australia's token Jigglypuff player. His results may not be particularly noteworthy, but the potential of a rest to swing a match means that it would be unwise to underestimate him. Don't expect him to get to the late stages of the bracket, but he may cause an upset or two.
