As for the gods, I think its difficult to rank the hardest pools in order. This will be based on how difficult I think it will be for them, in terms of a combination of match-ups and relative skill right now.

Most Difficult - PPMD's pool

• Self explanatory. Lets not beat around the bush, PPMD arguably has the lowest floor of the gods right now. The only match-up I'm absolutely confident in him winning is against PewPewU and that's because he's truly the Marth Ditto master.

• He's still PPMD though, don't count him out.

Second Most Difficult - Mango's Pool

• Here's the thing. HTC was the worst Mango has and probably ever will play [adjusted for expected performance] - and I think losing to MacD and DruggedFox are both very unlikely. Especially DruggedFox now that he's switched to Falco.

• Axe could prove troublesome, he's beaten Mango before. Mango is the favourite but wouldn't be surprised if Axe snuck in the victory.

• Mango said his pool is pretty free and I have to agree. Don't count the others out though

Third Most Difficult - M2K's Pool

• I actually think this pool outside of Nintendude is #free for him. Regardless of how he plays, he isn't losing the Sheik Ditto against Plup, or any Sheik for that matter.

• He has a Falcon in his pool. And a Sheik's destroy Falcon's, especially one as explosive and aggressive as S2J. I actually think it'll be two quick 3-0's

• Nintendude is the question mark. If he goes Marth, I think he'll win. If he goes Peach, maybe not.

  Least Difficult - Hbox's pool

This new, improved and extremely consistent player isn't losing to Sheik and Icies at a major, no way. Perhaps at a local where things aren't as serious, but not here. Puff is extremely underrated. The only for sure losing match-up for Puff is Fox and he only has to face one in his pool and even then, I don't think the Fox/Puff match-up is nearly as bad for Puff as people make it out to be.

I didn't know where to put Armada.

• The reasons for this is because he could just be Armada and clean-house and beat the non-gods like usual, but this ranking is based on difficulty and looking at the match-ups, he may have one of the harder pools.

Not only does he have to play two top Fox players, but two Fox players that are good at abusing the Peach match-up. Especially Silent Wolf. Lucky has also been getting much better at the Peach match-up.

• Armada has the option to go Fox but that's a very volatile match-up and if he's off and his opponents are playing great? He's going to get bodied. Armada should have Hugs on lock though.
