>>it's one of the reasons Melee was so alluring back in the day, there being a whole five players who all competed for the #1 spot is practically unheard of in any competitive activity
Not to shit on Melee but most fighting games have had few players that would dominate tournaments.
For example, Leshar in SF6 has been stomping everyone. People even think he switched to Elena at Evo France against Blaz just to lose, reset the bracket and play more matches.

He seems to be doing good in 2XKO, but it's another degenerate tag game
