    Im looking to find out who the current top seed ie best ssfiv player in ireland is north and south. If I recall it was stavanger for a long period of time but im unsure if he still holds the crown.

    Any feedback would be great its for a personal project.

    regards Roy

    It was never me.

    Top current players would be.

    Cobelcog
    Hound
    The Truth (not sure if he still plays)
    Bush
    Newtype was very good but I don't think he plays any more.

    I would say its between Cobels and Hound as to who the best player is, but I have never played The Truth.

    If your talking about online rankings via Battle points, I'm pretty sure Bush has the most BP with Blanka (over 17,000bp).

    Cobelcog has by far the most tournament wins.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,170 ✭✭✭Sagat06


    Yeah if its seed it would have to be cobel from tourney wins


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,229 ✭✭✭Dreddybajs


    The top seed going into the next Inferno is Doom afaik, and the month before that it was myself. Doubt either of us would claim we're remotely as good as Hound or Cobelcog though.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 25,872 Mod ✭✭✭✭Doctor DooM


    Well, I AM the top ranked player in the Inferno seeds right now... :P

    Not really though. Hound, Cobels and Simon Lau I would consider the very best, with Azza, Sagat, Bush and Blag forming a very close second tier. Then I'd say a third tier of nearly there's with Tetly, me, Ken B, Prenelf, Dreddy, Kirby, Onion and a few others.

    Newtype hasn't been playing recently so I'm not ranking him.

    I go to everything so my opinion is automatically the most valid :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 319 ✭✭DarkTalant


    Actually I think Doom's the top seed atm

    Edit: lol, doom and dreddy beat me to it

    Hounds a scrub Azza & Cog are mung, fk you all I'm top seed.

    14 Inferno's under my belt.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,170 ✭✭✭Sagat06


    Ya but Xinkai if you are the only person playing a game its not difficult to top it :p

    In fairness, that's still a challenge for Xinkai.

    Whats the project?

    Best player in the country = Blag. Its open to debate but if we knew what the project was then maybe the right person could be found to suit what your looking for. Realistically, and despite ego ;), any one of Blag, Cog, Dred, Doom, hound, sagat, bush, Farz, etc can beat each other... mostly.

    Ok guys, this is one of those threads were someone's looking for an answer, could we please try to stay vaguely on topic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 800 ✭✭✭The Hound


    Top seed is Cobelcog imo. He's won the most tournys, always consistent and is clearly the guy to beat. Seedings work out a little awkward. If you want to know who's won the most and placed highest the most in tournys etc then Cobelcogs Numero Uno


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,878 ✭✭✭bush


    Aye its cobelcog. He won 5 in a row or something. No one else has come near to doing that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,899 ✭✭✭✭K.O.Kiki


    The only time I remember Cobelcog not winning was because he threw his stick pad...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 699 ✭✭✭blag

    He lost an Inferno final to Mike/Newtype, but undoubtedly Cobelcog would be the top seed going on tournament results overall.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Orim


    Don't forget Cobelcog came fourth twice, hence his nickname "Mr. Fourth Place"

    Tournament results wise, definetely Cobelcog. No-one else comes close.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 25,872 Mod ✭✭✭✭Doctor DooM


    Cobelcog's lost plenty of times. No one in our scene is invulnerable. But when it comes down to bragging rights over victories, even those I'd place up there with him don't equal him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 378 ✭✭stev0knev022


    Well since i'm the top ranked Irish Honda on XBL (29th overall tyvm) and Honda is the best character in the game logically it follows i'm the best player in the country and probably Europe. I don't think you can really argue with that. ;).

    Seriously tho from my expierence with him Hound is probably the best player in the country at least in terms of skill and execution.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,020 ✭✭✭Ry


    Cobelcog based on results here and abroad.

    What's the project?

    Doom's tier list is pretty interesting if true.

    I didn't know that there was someone on par with Cobelcog and Hound, because I don't think I've ever met Simon Lau.


  • Moderators Posts: 5,580 ✭✭✭Azza


    Simon has never been to Inferno's, he just attend the Dragonslayer events up North. Don't think he plays online much.

    Mike Guilfoyle was at least on the same level as Cobels as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,229 ✭✭✭Dreddybajs


    Yeah the only reason most of us aren't mentioning Mike/Newtype is that he doesn't really play at the moment, he's a great player.


  • Moderators Posts: 5,580 ✭✭✭Azza


    From what I've seen of Stev0knev022, he's good. He's not on the level of Hound or Cobels but would probably get into the second tier of players.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 15,249 Mod ✭✭✭✭FutureGuy


    The top ranked Cammy in the country, as stated on his profile, would not win one match with cobelcog in a hundred (having played both). There are too many players out there who will not face certain players in ranked because they are afraid to lose their BP/PP and their ranking. I could say I'm number 1 ranked DeeJay in Ireland but I am sure that with a couple of hours practice with DeeJay, many of the players listed as top players would beat me cleanly and easily.

    Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of players who are every damn bit as good as their ranking suggests but I have faced some god awful players who are 13k plus.

    But in the overall scheme of things, online ranking means virtually nothing. It's all about bringing it at the big live events. And that's what Cobelcog does on a rediculously consistent basis.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,899 ✭✭✭✭K.O.Kiki


    Online rankings do mean something.

    Sadly all it really adds up to though is "I play this game a lot".

    I find it funny when even *I* can beat 10k+ players -- ask anyone, offline I'm generally free and yet online scrubs are WORSE.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 25,872 Mod ✭✭✭✭Doctor DooM


    For those wondering about the lau:



    That said, Cobels clearly learned and cleaned his clock when I next recorded them fighting.



    Newtypes an amazing player, but I don't think he deals well with tournament pressure at all. I'd put him in my second tier tbh. I don't have the difficulty fighting him I would with Simon, cog or Hound.





    I think if he came back today he'd have serious problems with someone like Azza who spends alot of time studying match ups.

    Man I knew keeping all these old videos would come in handy some day :D

    They deal with situations very well

    Two Farz. There's more than one of them :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,084 ✭✭✭✭Kirby


    Cobelcog. Simple question = simple answer.

    This is a results game....and he has won the most tourneys and he loses the least amount of matches out of everyone....Therefore he's the best.

    Followed closely by Hound and Blag. One could argue that hound and blag are just as "good" players as cobelcog but they lose more matches because they play balanced characters :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,899 ✭✭✭✭K.O.Kiki


    We all know it's Cobelcog.

    This is a kid who consistently pulls off PERFECTS on opponents in Top 8.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,910 ✭✭✭Sisko


    Must be annoying for you OP with no straight answers and so many different opinions as to who is our best player.

    He only does this because they don't rage quit if they think they are getting perfected. :pac:

    We will see if his reign of terror lasts in the post TCKS era.

    It has got to be The cog.

    He's the only one with a fanbase outside of players ;)

    Time 6.31 :D

    He just wanted to bring about the destabilization of our harmonious group by getting us to argue whilst he secretly went in the back door to rescue the princess and ruin our diabolical schemes.



    Slow day. . . . .


  • Moderators Posts: 5,580 ✭✭✭Azza


    Cobelcog bribed him to do it, so he could hear all of us sing his praises. :P

    Lol the way you put that makes it seem like you completely disagree with everyone and think some randomer is the best :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,237 ✭✭✭Owwmykneecap


    everyone knows the knacker who punched that chinese fella is the top seed.

    I wouldn't argue with him....
