Let's be real here, who was the actual best? Well, you have to look at pure dominance. You can't fight in a small pond of players, and lay claim to being the best (This is targeted to all the people suggesting, IxI, Typhoon, and Ace were the best).
StormY IMO is the absolute best. He fought in a large pond, an ocean in fact. He was the best in Zone's "Golden Age" of players. After Hayashi died off, and most of the veterans quit, Zone was a much easier server to become the "best" on. Argue or not, it's the truth.
I also noticed that many people (As I stated above) who are popular, will receive more votes for the "best" position.
Argue with me if you must, but various players (Some of whom no one has mentioned yet) would defiantly be ranked high in Zone's all-time "best" list. RealDDC, Gambet, Muroku (SC?), and Touya were amongst the elites.
Although I do personally believe that Tao and Gambet become bigger than they actually were (Skill wise). Muroku was very underrated by many, and he was a solid player. Touya was a killing machine back in the day. He didn't play for stats, but if you challenged him to a spar you would of probably lost. RealDDC was an amazing player if I recall. I never got along with him during my stay on Zone, but I always respected the dude because he never let his skill get to his head.
Anyways, that's just my take. Nobody here is going to agree.
You can have your little "Fan Clubs," but that doesn't mean who you worship is actually the best.
