>but Ray RizzoRay won back when no one even knew to run Protect on everything and when the idea of bulky Thundurus was so outrageous only he did it. He was the first "good" player in a game where the meta was VERY underdeveloped, and all his wins were basically the same game. Wolfe has won tournaments across five gens, four of which introduced new once-per-battle gimmicks that greatly change how the game is played, as well as introduced a number of large changes to systems and interactions; they might as well be different games with how the skill sets transfer over, and it's telling that Ray never got beyond one Regional placement early in Gen 6. Meanwhile Wolfe is still winning tournaments as recently as three months ago. Will Wolfe win every tournament he enters? No. Would I place a bet on him over any other single person? Yes, and that is the reasoning behind him being the greatest player.
