I haven’t posted a list in a while, here is one of just generally great players (some players have been left off if they have been proven to use turbo, rage-quit, or whatever). No order. An all-stars thread should have all the good players of every character so I’m avoiding naming just one.

I’ve been looking through some lists and I’m shocked. How am I one of the only people to mention players like Westcyde, Kurropi, and Beef Bowl?
Norieaga…looks like you and me need to fight? 
Those guys don’t get on much anymore, so a lot of the posters probably never played them or at least haven’t in awhile. Beef Bowl was never on HDR a whole lot and I haven’t seen Westcyde in a long time. I rarely get to play much at all anymore either, so I’m surprised I ever get mentioned anymore (I must be fondly remembered, LOL).
Only if you wait for me to master Dee-Jay Added you, had a feeling I was going to forget someone.
Thanks for the mention bro. :tup:
After a years worth of play, and about 9 months of maining Gief, here’s my list of people who have given me the most grief in player rooms. Some I’ve only played a few times and others I play pretty much daily but I think this list covers the best of the best.

Bison - ExposedD, Aerorockman

Balrog - Geneijin87
Dhalsim - NLP OU
Chun-Li - Trent
Sagat - Zoolanderbeast
There’s still a few of the ‘best’ I’ve yet to play but I’m guessing they’re mainly West Coast USA as I’ve never even seen them online + thanks to everyone that’s mentioned me too. Yellow pants Gief 4life.

I agree with the list. but zangief goes to SnakeEyes
Haha, that is ill. Good stuff, and thanks for all the respectage guys.
Nice list Blitzfu, but the only thing I’d change would be to put Aerorockman for DeeJay instead of Bogeuk. No disrespect to anyone, but I feel that Aerorockman has better character knowledge and execution. Could be that you haven’t played him, but you should. His connection might be a bit better for you too. Bogeuk is around 20 miles away (50+ms) from me and I get better pings to Aerorockman who is at least 300 miles away (21ms).
That is a pretty good list BlitzFu thanks for the mention. I am surprised you didn’t put afro legends down for Rog or Deejay though. I don’t think anyone has taken those two characters from him.
@Zero I haven’t played his Dee Jay
@BTC I have played Afrolegend’s Balrog a couple of times, but IDK if it was someone else using his account or if he was clowning around (maybe it was that wannabe clone), but I beasted him and even got a perfect one round. He wasn’t a scrub Balrog either, he knew what he was doing, but it wasn’t the level of difficulty that I was expecting from the legend. It sucks cuz I was hyped to finally play him and totally expected to get rushed with the quickness. I haven’t played his Dee Jay yet.
taking notes:
reading post here and there looks like damdai, zero1, GoldenArch88, Royal Phlush, Blitzfu, Caucajun etc etc, are the top ken players, i have a big homework to do lol
Straight Run is without a doubt the best T.Hawk player I’ve seen on HDR. He’s Japanese I believe, but he’s leagues better than any other Hawk player I’ve encountered online, including Luigi 002. He’s one of the only guys I’ve seen beat DGV in straight sets (but again, this was quite some time ago). Anyone else played him online?
I’m pretty sure I haven’t played him, but I would love to. I’m always on the lookout for good Hawk players. = J
Damdai is a given. Only played Blitzfu a couple of times (unfortunately the ping is high), but I can see that his mentions are deserved. I’m sure GoldenArch and Phlush are great too, but again I haven’t played them much because I avoid overseas connections (well basically anything outside Europe due to ping and packet loss). I have good moments, but I have some weak matchups, so I shouldn’t be on that list. I’ve played Caucajun a number of times. No disrespect to anyone, but I don’t think he’s quite up to the standard of some of those players in that list. He lacked a solid ground/footsies game and tended to get baited into jumping in and falling for kneebash setups.
Oh and welcome to Xbox live. Now you will get to play the best version of HDR with a more streamlined interface for chat and stuff.
