Note: While most of my info are true, I added my opinion on some of best player sections, so some may not be true or may be different from what others think.
This is the list of players from each country known to be the best character players in the world.
If that player stops playing that character by switching mains, retiring from Smash scene, or another Smasher achieves significant results more so than the existing best player of that character, he/she will be replaced with a new best player.
All players are listed in an alphabetical order, while characters are listed in their Smash number (e.g. 1. Mario, 2. Donkey Kong, etc.)
★: Players who haven't participated in international tournaments yet (Applies to non-USA players)
