Hi everyone welcome to a fun little project I've been meaning to do and am definitely not late in starting. In fact it might be the perfect time with the end of the AusNZ tourney in sight. Everyone will be able to vote for who they think were the best players in 2018! Leave a reply to this forum post to vote.

Your vote can take into account best scores, improvement, consistency, tournament performance or any other criteria you like. We'll be preparing a cool video with results eventually so look forward to that.

My vote:

1. anim gril (angel)
2. anim girl (sciss)
3. MisterLuka
4. Spartan-
5. Rek
6. Worms
7. Lusty Weeb
8. Water is good
9. [Crz]Yukikaze-
10. ryuzah
11. PotassiumF
12. Spicy Meme
13. ALTWithoutF4
14. Clizapy
15. -Xenovia-

1. anim girl - Improved a decent amount near the end of 2018. Imo the overall best player, he is easily top 3 in every skill except for SV and the second player in Australia to get delta.
2. anim gril - bleh
3. MisterLuka - Improved a lot in 2018. Despite not being the best rice player, although still Luminal, Luka gets rank #3 on my list simply due to what I believe he can pull off in a tournament with his insane accuracy and LN ability. Also has pretty good SV too if he tries.
4. Spartan- - Fast improving player, 3rd person in Aus to get Tach V3. Good at everything besides LN accuracy and has very outstanding SV and jack ability.
5. Rek - Improved a lot in 2018. MWC carry. Would probably be 3rd on my list if he didn't get a significant hand injury .
6. Worms - Pretty similar deal with Luka but being overall not as fast. Excels in chord-jacks.
7. [Crz]Yukikaze- - Insane speed and consistency in rice, excellent LN reading ability, but lacking in accuracy.
8. Lusty Platypus - Probably one of the top 3 accuracy players, as well as SV players in Aus with near Luminal level rice ability. Sadly lacks in LN ability.
9. ryuzah - 10th dan level rice. Improved a lot in LN's and accuracy.
10. PotassiumF Going from a speed player to an LN release player, Potty has seen insane improvements in LN's and probably will continue to do so.
11. Water is good From essentially unknown to becoming one of the most notable Australian players in late 2018, Water has improved and stuck with rice consistency and speed, recently clearing Luminal. Has good accuracy too.
12. donutsalad Improving from 9th dan in 2018, donut made it to tach-level speed but sadly had an unavoidable and very large break. Briefly making a return, he played for about a week and was able to beat Spartan on Yura-Yura Sweet Genocide and Mario Paint (d-hyper) which clearly shows the potential donut has as a player. Would be higher on my list if not for the sad lack of activity in the second half of 2018.
13. Spicy Meme - Insane tournament performance all round, excelling in rice accuracy. ~10th dan.
14. Clizapy - Went from jack player to LN player. Good tourney player.
15. -Xenovia- - Went from 6/7th dan to ~10th dan. Very good jack player.

I added numbers if anyone is interested: https://puu.sh/CUtQe.txt

1. anim gril - he's just so good at LNs
2. anim girl - my dude just fucking dipped for 2 months and then comes back to get delta
3. Rek - despite hand injury has insane all round skill set and keeps taking my #1 country ranks wtf stop dude not cool

11. PotassiumF - FL + LN jesus
12. Spicy Meme - another accuracy pro from across the pond
13. Clizapy - genuinely the most underranked dude ever, should be top 20 aus leaderboards easy

5.Yellyfish - old but gold
6.Spartan - tach + sv

hello i will vote with provided short analyses from my own perspective and opinion to why each player is in their respective position


1. anim gril - Most impressive 4k improvement in Australia has seen with 9th Dan to Delta and arcwin Tier VII to UJ's Yoru in the same year, unmatched raw handspeed, the most obvious choice

2. anim girl - no need to self assess

3. MisterLuka - Possibly Australia's best 4k LN player with Yoru too, with a respectable around-Luminal level

4. Rek - MWC carry, early 2018 was unstoppable at peak, great consistency, accuracy, SV, and jack in prime

5. Spartan- - SV master, strong chords and jacks

6. [Crz]Yukikaze- - Consistency freak, over weighted speed with an honorable mention of consistent Aquaris 1.3 S

7. Worms - Accuracy and consistency, decent all rounder player

8. Lusty Platypus - Best ~3 star accuracy in Aus and strong SV ability, great handstreams too

9. Water is good - Unable to fully assess as 2019 is where this player is shining at the moment, from an unheard of player to top 15 is impressive nonetheless

10. ryuzah - Impressive LN skill

11. PotassiumF - FL god, good LN, good SV, what's not to like

12. Spicy Meme - consistency and accuracy, strong tourney potential

13. ALTWithoutF4 - from personal experience has had an impressive improvement rate through the year

14. Clizapy - a very strong underrated player with good LN

15. -Xenovia- - good chordjacks

1. anim gril #Fortnite
2. anim girl
3. cup stacking guy (is getting 10th dan in almost exactly a year while also balancing 7k and standard actually this underrated, that's actually insane?? also just a good guy in general who does a great job of making you laugh and makes me think positively of australia. thank you wuhmountain)
4. spartan
5. water (word of mouth says that he's very skilled and still rising. seen him around on twitter and whatnot and this is what i've picked up)
**15. xeno

Sorry if my votes are wacky, I've only talked to/know a few aussies/observed a small portion of your community so I don't have the same knowledge and perspective as the rest of y'all and can't provide the same kind of input as the rest of you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

1. anim gril - Objectively

16. No-Fail - The world's best no-fail player of all time. This guy has several number one places in the world thanks to his amazing no-fail mod skills, and his impeccable jumptrill abilities that shatter delta player "anim gril" into rubble, with scores like 90% B rank Shanghai Moon 1.1x, and consistent full combo scores on 300BPM jumptrill files. Truly a sensational player.
