*{{Sm|Brood|Japan}} - The best Piranha Plant player of all-time, most known for placing 2nd at {{Trn|Umebura SP 4}} defeating {{Sm|Shuton}}, {{Sm|Kameme}}, and {{Sm|Gackt}}, the best Piranha Plant performance of all-time and the only time a Piranha Plant player placed in the top 8 at a major. Although he briefly dropped Piranha Plant for {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}, he returned to the character in the post-online metagame, though despite initial strong performances such as 5th at {{Trn|WINNER! -Next Gen-}} defeating {{Sm|Abadango}} and 33rd at {{Trn|Kagaribi 5}}, his results would take a significant downturn as time went on.
