Who is the best North American player?

IMO, it's between the Cleaver and the Destroyer. Exactly even split... Friken exactly even. They're both sooooooo good

I have neither shred with or seen butt-loads of Penske footage, so I appologize for not being able to place him properly in the ranking... I'm just too ignorant

Charizard is strong against Venosaur but gets his ass handed to him by Blastoise, who is in turn no match against Venosaur.

So true. ^^

My consistency goes in waves.

I'd say Dave.

what, is that a direct quote from a pokemon forum? was it said by "Switch-emon" or someone with a similar display name?

I believe the quote was from ProfessorOak247

Totally, thanks Dave

.

What I meant by that statement was that each of those players have their own unique strengths and weaknesses in their games, where one player is weak the other two may be strong at and vice versa. It's that difference that makes it so hard to pinpoint who is better than who.

Watch Tricks of the Trade 2 and then answer the question.

It's more about impact.

Kenny Shults has had far more impact.

These who is best campaigns are kinda weird.

The guy who wins the world championship is the best. Stop reading and go have fun practicing.

So... Charizard is the best shredder in North America?

Blastoise beats Charizard, dummy!

Buuuuut the holographic charizard sold for so much more. When i was a pokemon dealer i sold a Holograph Venusaur for $40. Nowadays my own personal Penisaur sells for more. Charizard is THE most valuable

If everyone was having a top notch shred day i would say Jorden is best.

(Never seen Penske play in person though)

Lon Smith is the best, it has been said thus it is true.

he kicks butt, that's it he has won the new champ of the forum.

Normally I woulnd't get involved in a debate such as this, and I know that opinions are pretty pointless in these kind of situatios, seeing as a final answer will never please everyone.

I decided to make this post because I feel that Jim Penske the Potatohnata isn't getting the credit he deserves, or maybe he is an people just don't think he's that great, but here are some things that I've seen Jim do:

8 unique beast (tieing Vasek's record)
64 mostly unique tripless (again tieing Vasek's record)
Hit 15 unique fearless on comand
Hit 20 unique fearless on video
Hit a shred30 of 260 (not in comp, but in the middle of a string)
Hit Gauntlet and Alpine Whirlygig like they were 5 add moves
Almost back to back Gauntlet and hit Alpine Whirlygig > Gauntlet
Clear all the dexes of surfing (or was it phasing?) flurry
Hit more than 8 unique triple dex moves in a row (I think the combo was fog > dimmiest > fog > dimmiest > bedwetter > pixie dod > blurriest > blurriest > flurry or something harder than that)
Has a general add ration higher than my best shed30 of 214.7

I don't how hard everyone else thinks this stuff is, but it's pretty impressive to me. That being said, there is a "rock-paper-scissors" situation here between the three of these amazing shredders from North America, I just had to place my input about Jim, seeing as how I shred with him more than most (excluding the freedom team and the other idaho boys)

In my opinion i think it is between dave and jim. And i was going to vote that way before i read nick landes post.

I really do love the way jim attacks the bag, very aggressive style.

ok i have decided.

1.David Clavens

2.Jim Penske

3.Jordan Moir

David and jim are pretty much even for me but. I am sure i will get shot down but, for how dare we have an opion on who is second best, you can go to jail for that shit.
