Once again, this was a personal list. Since I'm not a notable speed runner, It would be difficult for me to honestly say I drew inspiration from you guys more than the players I learned from when I was starting out highscoring way before NReality existed. That said, if you think we should do some kind of poll to get a more precise community ranking - we could arrange that... what do you guys think?

This is more like a "ska's list of most influential N highscorers of all time"

yea and before half the people on your list started playing. matter of fact, Van and I starting playing around the same time. he didn't get exceptionally good until recently. long after I did actually.ska wrote:Once again, this was a personal list.

Don't feel bad or take it personally but you weren't really in the highscoring scene and the only Top-20s you have comprise of 0ths or ex 0ths. Besides, statistically van has dedicated much more time (into highscoring at least) than you have. Also don't be bitter; you've still influenced and inspired me a lot =)Kool wrote:yea and before half the people on your list started playing. matter of fact, Van and I starting playing around the same time. he didn't get exceptionally good until recently. long after I did actually.ska wrote:Once again, this was a personal list.

I totally agree with this. I joined in late '08 and I never knew until today that tktktk was a highscorer XDKablizzy wrote:I think tktktk was more of a mapping influence than a highscoring influence. After all, he did quit in, like, 2005.
I think Kool and maybe moh should be on this list (even if they're at the bottom).
This would be cool. As well as having players and mappers rankings, I think each one also needs an "all time" ranking and a "current" ranking. It'd be much more in-depth that way IMO.That said, if you think we should do some kind of poll to get a more precise community ranking - we could arrange that... what do you guys think? I suppose you could also do the same thing for mappers.

well a current ranking kind of defeats the purpose, since it'd just be essentially the 0th ranking list with a few differences (I suppose you could do that for mapping but maps are on a level playing field, as in people in 2005 have the exact same methods for mapping that they do now. Highscorers have to deal with innovations, surge in competition etc.MAXXXON wrote:I totally agree with this.

Hey peoples :) Thanks for the mention ska, you were certainly a big impact on me when I was playing more! As for the rest of the list, I think you nailed it.

You left out Msyjsm and Afterthought and naem. Between them they came up with around half of the best routes.ska wrote:In the build up to the Best Of N 2 video, I've compiled an ordered Top-20 list in what I believe are the most influential N players of the past 6 years. I tried to choose a lot of older players who were dominant during their most active period as well as players who had a long and consistent career. It was quite tough and in the end I excluded some notable players such as sammage, Izzy, glib_jase, toad, Dan_K, cyberjuda, Kaellstar, Afterthought etc. and excluded players who have either admitted to cheating or are suspected of cheating.

well i think you'll find i didn't leave out Afterthought. naem is a proven cheater and if i put him in then i have to put kryx, L3X and Raif in. Msyjsm was more of a casual player - I can't think of him getting much more than 2 innovations... please cite which level innovations you mean specifically?scythe wrote:You left out Msyjsm and Afterthought and naem.

Update!
I wanted to bump this thread by inducting some players; these players aren't necessarily ranked, but I believe are deserving of a place in my personal hall of fame. (Who am I really to be doing this!? ;P)
glib_jase, macrohenry, Meta_Ing, Kool-Aid, ToeFaceKiller, Izzy, Swipenet (in particular for his NReality runs). Someone make this guy a page ;)
Last, but certainly not least, EddyMataGallos!

You "never get noticed" because speedrunning is both much newer and not built into the original game. ska's an old-timer. Chill.Kool wrote:how bout someone make a playerlegends list or something.
I have more credibility and skill than most of those players easily. as does kryX. but we never get noticed for all our 0ths cuz we're sr, which apparently, some think is easier or something. which is total bullshit as I don't see any of those players excluding a few taking our 0ths. :/

JF actually improved his cheated run with a legitimate one IIRC.TheRealOne wrote:Yeah JF did do two cheated runs on 89-0 and one other can't remember ^^, and I know it is kind of hypocritical to keep him in the rankings, and ignore others like L3X who had both cheated and legit runs, but hey the system is not perfect, but I do the best I can to keep the boards as legit as possible. I also agree that tktktk should be higher since he was really the first great highscorer, but as Ska said it is players to who influenced him the most and that makes the list very opinionated. But if other people were to post their lists I think that would be a good idea, Although I don't mean to highjack Ska's thread.rocket_thumped wrote:tktktk should be higher.
Johnny_Faneca was an admitted cheater.

Yes he did. That is true. So I keep him in the rankings. All of the 0ths he has are legit, not that he has many left anyway.ska wrote:JF actually improved his cheated run with a legitimate one IIRC.TheRealOne wrote:Yeah JF did do two cheated runs on 89-0 and one other can't remember ^^, and I know it is kind of hypocritical to keep him in the rankings, and ignore others like L3X who had both cheated and legit runs, but hey the system is not perfect, but I do the best I can to keep the boards as legit as possible.

Yea nvm, I was just ranting and being childish then (feeling left out, etc). I have proven myself well enough and continuing to do so. :)centerƒire wrote:You "never get noticed" because speedrunning is both much newer and not built into the original game. ska's an old-timer.

Hey,
All the links to the list are dead, can I see it somewhere? Apparently I'm a superstar or something like that.
