Hard to Decide but I'll give you MY OPINION.
Based on what I've seen the power rankings are as follows:
SG Category, this is listed in no particular order as it is very hard to decide. I have never seen these people 1v1 each other, but they're pretty good. Note that I've also lost to some people who are listed here.
1. Strait - If you want total Annihilation, 1v1 this guy so he can send you to his university to learn. Top tier players in this server has been destroyed by this guy. Even won 1v1 tourneys here in FG. I'm pretty sure people have also rekked him, but it doesn't change the fact that he's made a solid reputation for himself.
2. Layne - Best CW player to have existed in the history of GunZ. PERIOD.
3. Barbitton - Rekked 2 of the top players that I personally know whom of which, taught me the basics and essentials of advanced aiming flawlessly.
4. Kart - This guy, by far, is the best Asian player that I know. I kept on training and training my aim for the past few months, and after seing my aim went from 6/10 to 9/10, I decided to challenge a few players. I know a lot of SeedFanClub players as I'm really good friends with them(I played with some of the players in this clan way back in iGunz back in 2006-2009 back when I was with Section•8 and PointBlank and Rajindo but of course, you won't know those clans unless you're an oldgen from igunz like myself). I decided that this would be the perfect place to start. I went ahead and successfully destroying almost everyone in this clan except for 3 of their best players. I decided to go after the one who they consider the "BEST" in their clan. I Tried to 1v1 him so many times. It's almost impossible to read his moves, just when you thought you had him figured out, that's the time you realize that it's not all he's got to offer. Best thing I like about this guy is, he doesn't ego. Oh, did I mention that he regularly plays without Donors even when he has two?
5. Rycan - From SG as well. Probably the only one who can match up with Kart in SG. Very solid aim, very precise. Doesn't use fancy moves. You'll rarely see him on these forums. It's hard to actually explain as to how the fck I have him on this list. You have to 1v1 him to know what I'm talking about. Randoms won't know this guy ofc. But he taught me how to actually aim, which I found extremely effective. If anyone actually has a shot in beating Kart with regular pings from 20-50, I'd say it's this guy. But from what I've heard, they're pretty even. As I said, he doesn't use fancy moves because he doesn't need them. He taught me the key to understanding what advanced aiming is. His exact words were: "Breathe, Aim, Focus, Fire." That's actually what I say to people who ask me how to improve their aim. This guy had a large impact on how I play gunz today. I still can't beat him after improving a hell of a lot from how I used to play back then.
6. Corpse - I do not need to explain as to how this dude got on the top tier list. 1v1 him to find out what I'm talking about.
Special mentions to very good Shotgun players:
Taint, Fadi, Overdrive, Ommadawn, Traumatis3r, Jihad, Butters, Sunfire, Glamourous, SShang, Tzunami, Shino, Ren, LegendKorean, Anger, Skull, and lastly myself (Armi) for actually improving a lot. (I found that I can now stand my own ground decently against some of the mentioned players in 1v1's.)
Players who have a lot of potential in improving gameplay with Shoguns:
Yohan (IGN: David), Moistz (IGN: Damp), BodyBag.
BEST SNIPER:
Fontana, Banneed, EdwardNewgate, Midnight.
I can't really think of anyone else worthy of being on this list. Sure there are good snipers, but not as deadly as these guys.
Shout outs to my God Leon
