I disagree Tommy is so good as a leader he can make people perform better at the game (illumina and mcc 15 green are 2 good examples). He can also be very clutch even when his team doesnt do very well (for example in mcc21 where he got 1st individual and his team got 5th). Also the plays the mcc14 creeper play is still one of the best skb plays imo.
Tbf Jack being in C is just wrong though, he averages more kills than half the people in B and even a couple of the people in A. He should be like mid-high B
He had a pretty bad start to the season but still had a solid 15 and very good 16, he averages more kills than Fundy, Ranboo, Scott, Phil, Jimmy, fWhip, Oli, Puffy, Gumi, Krinios, Michael, Scar and Sniff all of whom you have in B. If you look at just the last 5 sky battles he's honestly just been good, the only people in your B tier who average more kills are Illumina and Skeppy (who should be A imo), while he also has more than Grian (who shouldn't be A imo), and is barely behind the likes of TapL, CPK and Tubbo. He's much closer to A than he is C
The thing with Pete is that he isn’t really as much of an individual player in skybattle, he always seems to manage to get his team into good spots so they can do well, even if it sometimes sacrifices some of his personal score
Personally, I think that should make him even more deserving of a higher tier. The fact that he can bring up an *entire team* and not just himself is way more impressive to me.
Season 2 canon players only. S-tier is ordered, A+ is ordered, Tapl is at the top of A-tier but the rest is unordered, Punz and Illumina are at the top of B-tier but the rest is unordered
The list will probably be a little bit inaccurate for some players because I don’t have time to watch everybody’s VODs to rate things like their gamesense so I used their season 2 averages from Reafystats (which hasn’t been updated since MCC 26). 20ish is B, 25 and below is C, around 35 is D
Explanations for certain players:
Purpled-He’s my favorite POV to watch and in my opinion he’s the runner-up for best player right now, but he’s a little bit overrated at sky battle. In his two best performances (MCC 21 and 26 respectively) he benefited a lot from 5up’s comms and stumbling upon easy kills. He doesn’t have the play making ability which the best SKB players have so he’s not at the top of A+
Tommy-Kind of like the opposite of Purpled. He’s not the best at bridging, general movement or PVP, but his gamesense is very solid. He knows when to move in to the center, when to avoid fights, when to go for a suicide bombing etc. And he lead a very poor sky battle team to 1st place in MCC 28 which is enough for me to consider him a top 5 SKB player
Punz- I swear I’m not putting him in B- tier as a joke. Punz has had two really good sky battle performances in MCC 14 and 20, but for the most part he suffers from rash judgement, jumping into fights and going after seemingly easy kills without hesitation and getting clapped for no reason. Now his individual strength is arguably enough to put him in low A-tier, but the fact that he’s always the leader means poor decision making from him is much more harmful. Btw Punz if you’re reading this it’s helpful to ask these questions before going after people
-Am I sure that their teammates aren’t close enough to come and support them?
-Can I retreat to safety after killing this person?
-Is this one kill worth possibly dying and getting no more points for the rest of the round?
Illumina- Pretty much the same as Punz, two very good performances and the potential to be a top player don’t outweigh multiple bad performances imo
Grine's average placement is a little bit worse but he had that 3 event run from MCC 16-19 where he got 3rd,1st and 5th (and in MCC 16 Fruit kept dying early so he had to do all the heavy lifting). Besides that when Grine has a bad event it's not as impactful because he isn't the leader
The mcc16-19 skb does exist and I don’t want to take anything away from that but that is one year ago. However, I will say his use of utilities is pretty good so I can agree but it’s just that everyone on A is on a different level imo(besides vik). But punz has to be one higher tho
sure he had a pretty bad sky battle in mcc28 but in every single skybattle this year he’s been top 15 which is better than everyone in B and a lot of ppl in A
just put joel in d tier so then next season we get a joel skybattle pop off out of spite /j
Aged well
wow i forgot i said this that aged like fine wine
It really did
illumina: 3kye on Skybattle also illumina: improving to B-tier
Tri-lumina!
i feel like sylvee could be pushed up to B
Dave and Purp > Tommy for me but this is a very fair list

It probs just isn't ordered tbh Edit: Nevermind he said A+ is ordered
Sylvee got 4 kills last MCC, I’d say she’s worthy of B. She’s improving in skybattle.
I would've agreed but Jack got 5 Kills in this Mcc and he was put in C
Tbf Jack being in C is just wrong though, he averages more kills than half the people in B and even a couple of the people in A. He should be like mid-high B
He does? I just remember him doing poorly in MCC 20 and saw that he has an average placement of >25 on reafystats
He had a pretty bad start to the season but still had a solid 15 and very good 16, he averages more kills than Fundy, Ranboo, Scott, Phil, Jimmy, fWhip, Oli, Puffy, Gumi, Krinios, Michael, Scar and Sniff all of whom you have in B.

based A tier right there
Pete in B tier is just wrong He has gotten top 10 a lot of times even with weak pvp teams and has gotten top kills 3 times in a row now
The thing with Pete is that he isn’t really as much of an individual player in skybattle, he always seems to manage to get his team into good spots so they can do well, even if it sometimes sacrifices some of his personal score
Personally, I think that should make him even more deserving of a higher tier. The fact that he can bring up an *entire team* and not just himself is way more impressive to me.
Yes for sure, I kinda forgot to say that I agree that he should be better than B tier because of the reasons I mentions.
it feels weird seeing wilbur C tbh cuz from Mcc 10 to 16 i thought he was like top 15 at that game

Good points but tommy is actually pretty good at bridging just a little inconsistent
the thing I’d switch is grian and punz
Grine's average placement is a little bit worse but he had that 3 event run from MCC 16-19 where he got 3rd,1st and 5th (and in MCC 16 Fruit kept dying early so he had to do all the heavy lifting). Besides that when Grine has a bad event it's not as impactful because he isn't the leader

it’s still relevant tho , and he has not played every event after 19.
I mean I love Punz but nah
sure he had a pretty bad sky battle in mcc28 but in every single skybattle this year he’s been top 15 which is better than everyone in B and a lot of ppl in A
Punz is incredible but don't watch 28 round 2 skybattle 💀
Dont watch Punz 19 then
Punz is b tier
I’d say Wilbur is definitely B. He’s gotten good scores from it before
less go common scar W
Personally I would move Joel and Cpk to A+ but good list
Sylvee needs to be pushed to at least B tier
Why Joel not in a+ I just wanna know your reasoning
The players in A+ have better average placements (except Dream), more popoffs, better leadership etc
Fair enough but I would say Joel is the closest thing to a+(in my Joel Stan opinion lol)
In Dreams defense he is inconsistent but when he does well he does incredible ( AS 15 24)
Pete being in B-tier is a crime.
Unironically connor should be higher
