NSSI Power Rankings: NSSI 1-3

Our honorary #10 spot goes to those who didn't quite reach the threshold to be ranked. Despite this, it would be shame to have their performances go underappreciated.

Collin - Only attending NSSI 3, Collin was able to 3-0 Conner and bring his set with Easton to a game 5. He'll definitely be a player to keep an eye on in the future.

Conner - With NSSI 3 also being his first event, Conner was unable to get even a single game win. Maybe next time he'll be able to use the experience gained here to get on his game.

Rogelio - Rogelio only attended NSSI 2 and lost to two fierce competitors, Connor and Kylie. His one win from the event was on David, but that's better than nothing, right?

Justice - Before turning to a life of crime, Justice had an incredible 3rd place showing at NSSI 1, only losing to Connor and Stevan. After missing NSSI 2 and 3, is it possible for him to give up on crime and rejoin NSSI as a force to be reckoned with?

Despite three last places on his resume, you can't say that Tanner lacks any amount of spirit. He continues to show up to event after event, even if the outcome stays the same each time. The closest he's come to breaking out of his last place curse was at NSSI 3, where he brought David to game 5 in Chambara. Perhaps in the future we'll see Tanner get his first set win, but for now you'll have to be content with most of the Tanner action coming from his commentary.

One of the players of all time, David finally broke away from last place at NSSI 3 with his first ever set win over Tanner. His other achievements include bringing Easton to game 5 at NSSI 1 and somehow keeping his game record in Chambara even. Attending all three events, David has shown he has the will to keep going further. Some may find it appropriate to call David "The Catalyst" because he is seemly getting shit started.

Coming in at #7, Michael has been able get out of the first round at both events he's attended. At NSSI 3 he was able to get an upset win over Mace in a Winner's Quarterfinal showdown that went to game 5. This upset guaranteed him 5th, his highest placing at any NSSI to date. However, we have yet to see him have a true breakout run in bracket. The sky is the limit for our beloved Mikey B.

Mace's mediocre performances sandwich them between the greats of the sport and the impactful failures. However, Mace's placements are deceptive. Mace is a formidable individual opponent, showing some of the most consistent finishes across the whole ranking. Mace shined the brightest at NSSI 2 where they beat future champ Kylie 3-1 and brought Stevan to game 5. Also, you can't deny they are fucking cracked at bowling.

Stevan? Yes, please! His wins are some of the most impressive of those only attending two events. Stevan's resume includes wins on top tier competitors, like Connor and Easton, as well as a Grand Final appearance at NSSI 1. What ultimately caused Stevan to fall so short on this ranking was his absence from NSSI 3, but don't let this deceive you. Stevan will be a certified threat to whichever players he may face in the future.

Hot off her Cinderella run at NSSI 3, Kylie has become the most recently crowned champ. She was able to double eliminate Connor, upset Jonny, and complete a successful reset in the Grand Final to take 1st over Easton. While incredibly impressive, her underwhelming performance at NSSI 2 combined with her absence from NSSI 1 kept her from rising higher through the ranks, earning her the #4 spot.

Jonny's performance at NSSI 2 was nothing short of dominant. Only dropping 3 games total during the entirety of the event, Jonny took 1st place beating out strong foes like Connor and Easton. However, they could not keep the same energy at NSSI 3 where they lost to Kylie and Connor for 4th. Despite this shortcoming, Jonny is someone you should fear to see in your bracket path. They will remain a dangerous opponent at future events.

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Easton always falls just short of reaching champ status. Despite the lack of a 1st place, he is one of the most powerful players at NSSI. He has made two Grand Final appearances, one from losers side and one from winners. He has two game 5 wins over Stevan and a win on NSSI 3 champ Kylie. Easton is without a doubt the most consistent when it comes to placing well. Just like how his tournament runs usually end, Easton lands himself in the #2 spot.

The original champ and face of NSSI. Connor is the current GOAT in the world of Nintendo Switch Sports. No one has quite matched the power of Connor's 6 -set losers run to win it all at NSSI 1 after losing to a CPU in round one. His NSSI 2 performance humbled him with upsets by Jonny and Stevan. However, Connor began to see a return to form at NSSI 3 where he was able to reach 3rd place after beating Jonny in the runback. He has at least one set win on almost every player to ever be featured at a NSSI. His utter dominance in sports like Chambara (10-0) and Badminton (7-0) go unmatched by any other. No one player is his blessing because all fall before him. Connor is the embodiment of NSSI and the true claimant to the #1 spot on the first NSSI Power Rankings.
