Okay, so, I wanted to figure out who the best Greninja players are. It’s not as easy as it sounds, you know? There are tons of folks playing this character, and they’re all pretty good.
First off, I started by just watching a bunch of videos. I mean, a lot. Tournament matches, online battles, you name it. I was basically glued to my screen, trying to see who stood out. It was a bit overwhelming at first, not gonna lie. There are so many different styles, and everyone has their own little tricks.

Then I thought, “Okay, I need a better way to do this.” So, I made a list of all the players I saw who were doing well. I wrote down their names, what tournaments they played in, and how far they got. This was more helpful, but it was still pretty basic. I needed more data.
Digging Deeper
Next, I started looking at their actual gameplay. Not just wins and losses, but how they moved, how they used their moves, all that stuff. I focused on things like how well they spaced their attacks, how often they landed their combos, and how they handled pressure. It was like learning a whole new language, but it was super interesting.
After all that, I started to see some patterns. Certain players kept popping up, doing really well consistently. I narrowed down my list to a handful of names that I thought were the cream of the crop. These were the guys who were always making deep runs in tournaments and just looked a step ahead of everyone else.
The Final List
- There’s this guy, Stroder. He’s crazy good. Always calm under pressure, and he has some insane reads.
- Then you’ve got Lea. This player is super aggressive, but in a smart way. Always knows when to push the advantage.
- And iStudying. His defense is nuts, and he knows how to punish mistakes like no other.
- I also have to mention Etoiles, who just has an incredible understanding of the character’s movement and how to use it to control the stage.
Honestly, it was tough to pick just a few. There are so many other great Greninja players out there. But based on what I’ve seen, these guys are definitely some of the top contenders. It’s always fun to watch them play and see what new stuff they come up with. I’m still learning, too, so my list might change in the future. But for now, that’s my take on the top Greninja players.
