Notices
The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

*{{Sm|Akakikusu|Japan}} - The greatest Hero player of all time. He was the first solo-Hero player to find great success at a major level thanks to strong results during the pandemic period, especially after placing 3rd at {{Trn|Kagaribi 3}}. Though hit with a series of inconsistent performances for several years, he regained his footing in 2024 and found even greater success, with multiple top 8 finishes at majors and supermajors such as placing 3rd at {{Trn|Sumabato SP 51}}, 4th at {{Trn|Smash Awesome!}}, and 5th at {{Trn|DELTA 8}}. He has been a mainstay on the global rankings since his debut, and peaked at 28th on the [[LumiRank 2024.2]].
*{{Sm|Akakikusu|Japan}} - The best Hero player of all-time, the definitive best in 2021 and 2022, and one of the two best since 2023. He is the only Hero player to have made multiple major top 8s with {{Trn|Kagaribi 3}}, 5th at {{Trn|DELTA 8}} and 7th at {{Trn|Kagaribi 4}}, the latter being the first top 8 a Hero player has made in a supermajor. His highest placement was 30th on the [[OrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse]], marking him as the second Hero player to be ranked globally.

Though active for several years in the post-pandemic period, he broke out onto the global scene towards the end of 2023, which includes defeating {{Sm|Glutonny}} and {{Sm|Sisqui}} to place 17th at {{Trn|Port Priority 8}}. He has since followed it up with several strong performances and wins, most notably placing 5th at {{Trn|Riptide 2024}}. He was the only Hero player to rank above Akakikusu in the post-pandemic metagame, doing so in [[LumiRank 2023|2023]], and also peaked at 30th on the [[LumiRank 2024.2]].
*{{Sm|BeastModePaul|USA}} - One of the two best Hero players in the world since 2023.

He notably grabbed a hot streak of wins at the latter tournament, defeating {{Sm|Glutonny}}, {{Sm|Sisqui}}, and {{Sm|AndresFn}}. These two tournaments also marked the best Hero results at North American majors post-pandemic.
