Note: Updates to This List

*Smash Ultimate*
Syrup's Ness should count as I've been told he used Ness quite a few times, and not just vs Sparg0, but I haven't been able to find vods.

May 24th 2025 - Rarikkusu wins Sumabato SP 58 with Falco

May 25th 2025 - Spargo wins Kings of Fields 5 using mostly Piranha Plant

May 25th 2025. - BeastModePaul wins MomoCon with Hero

February 22nd, 2026- Yaura wins AnoAno Brothers 5 with Samus/Dark Samus.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Junebug did win Patchwork with DK, but it wasn't considered a Major, I don't think there were any top 10 players there, but his DK is the reason I mention the character in the melee section.

Also Marcus won Supernova 2024 with Ness in Smash 4,  but it didn't count as a major because of many of the top Smash 4 players didn't enter because they were focused on Ult.

I actually wrote the script for this video like a month ago, but when I was 80% done editing the video, my hard drive fried and I had to start it from scratch. What are the odds that throughout the entirety of Smash, Ness didn't win, but he did during the time it took me to finish the video 🥲.
I mentioned the Syrup tournament because it was fresh on my mind during the second time making the video, but yeah I also thought he only used Ness once during it. I should have double checked before the second recording.

"With Smash 6 on the horizon" what knowledge does he have that we don't

Luigi was EXTREMELY close to winning a major in Smash 4. Like one back air away from winning gtx

It is deeply funny to me how not a single non-DLC newcomer from Smash Ultimate has won a major

Watching this after Piranha Plant won recently 😂

Smash 6 will be the game where all our beloved Zelda characters get major wins!

I was really surprised that Fox had never won a major in Smash 4. I was talking to a friend about it on Discord and we both swore Larry Lurr had won a major. We both even checked that Dreamhack event too! We were both like, "Gee golly wizz!"

16:17 i really love how this is the one clip everybody plays when they talk about brawl

SSBU’s percentage being so high says a lot about how balanced the game is in comparison to the others.

12:08 biggest nerf in smash history

I understand using Liquipedia instead of Lumirank for ultimate because Limrank doesn't do the other games, but if we go by Lumirank standards, Wolf has recently won a major at Grand Slum 17 in the hands of Masha, which was his first ever major win despite him playing since Brawl

Watch everyone anticipate the first major win in smash 6 to be someone like fox or sonic, only for someone like Mac to gain the first one due to everyone trying to figure out what works and what doesn’t in smash 6

The fact Inkling was originally widely considered the best and still never won a major depresses me on a level I cannot describe

Like bro, we Inkling mains really got hated on for nothing

There's like 16 characters i play that have NEVER won any majors, wow i really need to pick better next game

if i didnt suck at smash id make it my life's mission to win a major with ganondorf

Edit: DANG I WAS WRONG. I WAS SO WRONG.

I'm gonna guess Brawl (haven't finished the video yet). The game has a medium-sized roster and isn't too old or too young iirc, so it would make sense for it to have the most of its roster win. I'll come back after I finish!

Great video highlighting the characters and success stories that have occurred in the community.

Fun video! I was shocked to hear Ike's actually won before, so I was happy to hear my favorite FE character took home the gold at least once.

13:24 it pains my soul that shulk is this slept on as a former monado main. his monado arts could be MONSTROUS if someone mastered them and made the upset that shook the entire smash community

My predictions for the video:
- Characters that have appeared in every title that have NO Major wins (in ANY title)
    - Donkey Kong
    - Ness
    - Link
              - Reason:
                 As far as I’m aware, none of these three have been particularly high tier in any title with the best of the three across all titles being either Melee or Ultimate DK (personally unfamiliar with Brawl and Sm4sh so maybe they’ll surprise me), neither of which I believe to have won a major (I could always be wrong tho).
- Roster win % (Game w/ highest percentage of the roster AND the lowest percentage of the roster having won a major)
    - Melee (highest)
    - Brawl (lowest)
                  - Reason:
                     Melee being such an old yet active game and things like the apparent DK renaissance happening over there make me think that some mad lad has gone and won a major with pretty much anyone at this point, and Brawl is so terribly balanced from a competent standpoint overall, not to mention META KNIGHT so it’s probably safe to say it’s the “lowest win% game”. While I think the better of the games (win% wise) will still clock in at around 50% of the roster with a major victory under their belt, here’s the overall ranking:
1. Melee
2. Ultimate
3. Smash 64
4. Sm4sh
5. Brawl

Let’s see how well I do…

Definitely overestimated Melee and underestimated Smash 64, did NOT expect anyone below Mario (Samus) to have won a major! Got the set of 3 who have been in every game but have yet to win a major, and I even got the fact that DK was the closest to winning one (although not in the right game…)
