There’s always debate between which player has the best so-and-so character. I think it would be a dope idea to put all that discussion into one thread where we can make arguments for whomever and possibly give other lesser-known players some shine.
Take into consideration that if there’s a player that you would like to vouch for, video evidence (match videos) is more than a necessity.
And for the record, tournament wins, while obviously indicative, doesn’t have to be a factor in this. Case in point, Bum.
If extensive enough I will add and tally each individual vote (for the top 3 players voted in) and update this post on a semi-weekly basis (or whenever the fuck I feel like it).
And I trust the lot of you to keep discussions serious and at a mature level.

he ran a pretty long set on stream with Marlinpie the other day. brought out the Dante. they were pretty even, but with Yipes having an edge for the most part.

I dunno about Justin having “best X”. I think he’s one of the best players of the game, but I think he’s pretty far from best player of various characters.
ABEGEN’s combos build way more meter than Rikir’s, and ABEGEN’s execution, even ONLINE is better than Rikir’s offline execution. I’ve also never really seen a match with ABEGEN where he has meter issues.
Anyone that thinks someone uses ABEGEN’s characters better than he does shouldn’t bother posting here. He’s undisputably the best at all of his characters and one of the smartest players in the game.
I pretty much agree with your whole list with the exception of morrigan. Chris G has a much better morrigan, his neutral game is much stronger even though his combos are weaker than JJJs.
Actually a very valid point but I feel at the level that he’s playing the game at, the fact that he can make ridiculous comebacks with Akuma and him ultimately winning a major with Iron Fist, is reason for me.
Couldn’t find any of his Skrull in Ultimate. I’m not even sure if he still plays the game though.

Some Brazilian player.

Yeah it was either between those 2 for me. I only put JJJ above Chris G because of the fact that Chris G’s gameplan mostly revolves around Astral Vision shit, I’d be more scared of JJJ’s Morrigan sans meter than Chris G’s Morrigan sans meter.
