The Five Gods
Demi-gods
There are several players whose level of skill lies just below the top players; Axe, Westballz, and Plup are currently the players most commonly considered the "demi-gods." These three players are known to frequently earn high placings in large tournaments, as well as for occasionally taking sets off of the gods and Leffen, but have yet to achieve the skill level or consistency of the players above them. In addition, Axe, Fly Amanita, Wobbles, and Lucky have all taken sets off of four of the gods, all except for Armada. Jman, Shroomed, and KirbyKaze have beaten three of the gods.
Wobbles finished 2nd at EVO 2013, the largest tournament at the time, and taking down Hungrybox and Mew2King in the process. He has also beaten every god except for Armada, whose Peach is considered a lopsided match-up for the Ice Climbers. Wobbles also took a period of retirement throughout 2013 and 2014, and has since been unable to play at the highest levels.
