*{{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 has 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|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.

*{{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|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 ''Ultimate'' player from Africa, though he moved to [[France]] in the post-[[COVID-19 pandemic]] metagame and is known for his performances while living there. 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 become 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 [[LumiRank]] A-tier. | *{{Sm|Raarchyor|France}} - The best ''Ultimate'' player from Africa, though he moved to [[France]] in the post-[[COVID-19 pandemic]] metagame and is known for his performances while living there.

*{{Sm|Zackray|Japan}} - Although better known for playing many other characters, he was the first Sora player to achieve global recognition, doing so 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 2nd place finish 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 the same year. | *{{Sm|Zackray|Japan}} - Although better known for playing many other characters, he was the first Sora player to achieve global recognition, doing so 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.
