*{{Sm|kameme|Japan}} - The best Sora player of all-time, and the one who has come closest to winning a major, most notably placing 2nd at both {{Trn|Seibugeki 13}} and {{Trn|Wave 4}} and 3rd at {{Trn|Maesuma TOP 13}}.
*{{Sm|kameme|Japan}} - The greatest Sora player of all-time who was able to get out of a career slump after picking up Sora, seeing a string of consistency and great performances with the character that was reminiscent of his performances with {{SSBU|Mega Man}} and {{SSBU|Wario}} in the early metagame. Although he never won a major, he came close at several events, including placing 2nd at both {{Trn|Seibugeki 13}} and {{Trn|Wave 4}}. In addition, his performances with Sora internationally, including placing 2nd at {{Trn|Glitch - Regen}} and 4th at {{Trn|Battle of BC 5}}, helped improve Sora's perception in the west.
*{{Sm|komorikiri|Japan}} - The second-best Sora player in Japan, though his tournament activity remains largely in Kansai due to his studies. He has a string of strong superregionals, including 3rd at {{Trn|Sumabato SP 22}}, 4th at {{Trn|Sumabato SP 27}}, and 5th at {{Trn|Sumabato SP 35}}.
*{{Sm|komorikiri|Japan}} - Although his tournament activity is largely relegated to {{b|Kansai|region}} as a result of his studies, at his peak in 2021 and 2022 he was considered the second-best Sora player in Japan, achieving multiple high finishes at Kansai events including 3rd at {{Trn|Sumabato SP 22}}, 4th at {{Trn|Sumabato SP 27}}, and 7th at {{Trn|Sumabato SP 32}}.  
*{{Sm|Raarchyor|France}} - The best Sora player in Europe, co-maining the character alongside {{SSBU|Greninja}}. He notably won {{Trn|Cora Smash Cup @Massy}} after double-eliminating {{Sm|Glutonny}}, and has also placed 9th at {{Trn|Ultimate Fighting Arena 2023}}.
*{{Sm|Raarchyor|France}} - The best ''Ultimate'' player from Africa who began competing in Europe after moving to [[France]] in the post-pandemic metagame. He co-mains Sora alongside {{SSBU|Greninja}} and is considered the best Sora player in Europe, initially achieving global recognition for defeating {{Sm|Glutonny}} 6-0 to win {{Trn|Cora Smash Cup @Massy}} and placing 9th at {{Trn|Ultimate Fighting Arena 2023}}. He has since became a regular threat at European events, notably placing 7th at {{Trn|Ultimate Fighting Arena 2024}} and becoming the first African player to place top 8 at an A-tier event.
*{{Sm|Zackray|Japan}} - Despite having only played Sora for a few weeks after the character's release, he is currently the only Sora player to win a major, doing so at {{Trn|Kagaribi 5}}.
*{{Sm|Zackray|Japan}} - Although better known for playing many other characters, he was the first Sora player to achieve global recognition by winning {{Trn|Kagaribi 5}} just two weeks after Sora was released, the fastest a DLC character won a major after their release as well as the only major/supermajor win from a Sora player. However, outside of Kagaribi 5 and a noteworthy 2nd place at [https://www.start.gg/tournament/winner-4/details WINNER! #4], Zackray's performances with Sora were mostly underwhelming, and he dropped Sora by December of that year.
