2015 - 2016 Rankings

The 2015 - 2016 Rankings are a ranking of every Melee player currently active in MNPS.
== Rankings ==
Emm is the best player in MNPS. His Marth has a flawless record, having never lost a set to another player in the school system. He also won The Smash Burros without dropping a game, further cementing his dominance. It is currently indisputable that Emm is the best player in the system, but players like AOE and Cyok are starting to improve enough to make Emm's dominant position potentially change in the future.
AOE is the best player in Hume Fogg and among the very best in MNPS. His Fox is feared across the school system, and completely uncontested in his home school. Because of his location at Hume Fogg, he is rarely able to attend tournaments, since the vast majority of them happen at Hillsboro. However, when he can come to tournaments, he is dominant. At Melee @ GHL 1, he took the tournament from the winners side. 
It's been a year marred by inconsistency for Cyok, but he is still undeniably a top three player. He famously "can beat anyone, but lose to anyone." He has impressive wins, including sets over AOE and Tony. When he is at his peak level of play, there are very few players who are capable of stopping him. He is undeniably the best Pikachu in MNPS, and has remarkably become the third best player with such a unique main.
Tony, as opposed to Cyok, has been a model of consistency this year. And although his peak is not as high, he has impressive wins under his belt, one of which is a set win over Cyok. Although he is pictured maining Kirby and Roy, he doesn't have a true main, playing most of the characters on the roster proficiently. He can play any character, making him an unpredictable opponent in tournament. And with a third place finish at The Smash Burros, he has cemented himself as one of the best.
Fletcher has been a mysterious figure in the community for much of the year. But his great performance at The Smash Burros, where he placed second only under Emm, has given him a status as a top five player in MNPS. His inactivity is what weighs him down -- his potential is incredible, and his ranking could rise greatly if he continues to show off his skill at more events next year.
Isaac has showed us that Jigglypuff can compete at the top level in MNPS. His Jigglypuff made a splash at The Smash Burros, and his ninth place finish was only because of a loss to Fletcher. His respectable performance in tournament and skill displayed outside of tournament give him a place in the top six players of MNPS.
Junior has had a great year -- with a happy ending. At The Smash Burros, he achieved the impossible and defeated his first opponent, Cyok, knocking the top three player out of the tournament at last place. Junior then came the closest anyone in MNPS has come to taking down Emm's Marth in tournament. And, to make it even more unbelievable, he was using Roy. Junior's unique playstyle and great performance at The Smash Burros place him solidly at number seven.
Josh has had an inactive 2016, but his performances in 2015 cannot be ignored. Though Josh did not attend any tournaments in the year, he did make strides in the library, with close sets with top players like Cyok and Tony. If Josh were to be more active in the next year, he would likely see a rise in rank.
Noah was on the rise in 2015 and 2016. He's changed mains, playstyles, and learned a lot about the game. His progress finally paid off when he defeated Savage in a salty suite in the library, cementing himself as a top ten player in MNPS. Although he didn't participate in The Smash Burros, his showings in the library are enough to put him at the number nine spot on the 2015 - 2016 rankings.
It's been a year of discovery for Savage. The best Samus in MNPS began playing the game in 2015, and improved greatly going into 2016. With wins over Cyok and Tony, Savage is a driving force in the scene. And after picking up Falco, he seems to have only gotten better and covered more match-ups. With his improvement continuing, it only seems inevitable for Savage to rise in the rankings in the coming year.
