The Five Gods

The Five Gods is a term referring to the five very best players of Super Smash Bros. Melee, who consistently dominated tournaments from the post-Brawl era to the present, to a degree unmatched by any other player, while rarely losing tournament sets to players that aren't among the gods themselves. The players considered the five gods, in alphabetical order, are:

• Armada
• Hungrybox
• Mango
• Mew2King
• PPMD

Leffen is now considered to be on par with the "gods" as well. Since the beginning of 2014, Leffen has shown rapid improvement in the game, consistently taking tournament sets off of the other gods and having managed to regularly place in winners' finals, and by 2015, he began making it to grand finals and winning national tournaments. However, it has often been argued that the title of "God" cannot truly be revoked, and that it is more or less a reflection of an era where they dominated national tournaments (in a similar vein to "King of Smash" being associated with Ken). Groupings that include Leffen may sometimes use the term "The Big Six" or "The Sinister Six" to reference his inclusion.
