If you’ve ever brushed up against competitive Super Smash Bros. Melee, you will have heard about the Gods — five players who had periods as the lord of the Melee mountain. More recently, pundits and players have started using the term ‘demi-god’ to denote the class of players who are just underneath the Gods in skill. You also have Leffen as the ‘Godslayer’, who was the first player to take a set off all of the Gods and the current 5th best player in the world, since EG|PPMD is still on his competitive hiatus.
Well, there is the potential for a sixth God of Melee, with Panda Global’s Plup. Not only has he taken sets of every God besides Armada, his recent victory at DreamHack Atlanta saw him with a tournament where two of the Gods were in attendance. With this landmark win in mind, SaveAsUntitled has created a statistical analysis of Plup’s recent performance, to determine how far he is from becoming one of the Melee Gods.
