    Greatest Ninja players in Trials

    So I'm wondering who's the top Ninja players in Trials currently? Shayne postet his top 10 picks about a year ago (video below), but I'm guessing that's dated now, no?


    I feel like Peqz is the one that has raised the bar with Sabotage (NJ7) and Sumrak (NJ7), but seeing the people coming after him beating the same levels with lower fault makes me wonder who's currently the greatest ninja player? I'm guessing Estiloo is the greatest ninja player currently based on this: (Sub 100-faulting Sabotage, Beating Sumrak and 0-faulting a Ninja Level 5), right?

    Some other crazy players:
    Nescab (Beating Sabotage and Sumrak)
    Lorcan Smersh (Sub 100-faulting Sabotage)
    Shayne (Almost sub 100-faulting Sabotage)
    Nautii (Beating Sumrak and displaying Insane Throttle Control)
    Slikscythe (Beating (and creating) Sabotage)

    If you were to pick the top 5 ninja players in Trials currently, who would you pick? Another quick one, about a month ago Peqz gave up on Beyond Inhumanity, how would you rank this track compared to Sabotage/Sumrak? If someone came along out of nowhere and beat that, would that qualify as an instant "best trials ninja player atm"?


    My pick:
    1. Estiloo (duh)
    2. Peqz (always sets the highest bar)
    3. Shayne (even though he's not active, I feel like he can pass any track he sets his mind to)
    4. Nescab (based on Sabotage/Sumrak)
    5. Nautii (that throttle control)

    FYI, nescab didn't beat Sabotage or Sumrak....

    Anyways. My picks would be :

    1. Peqz. First player to pass a ninja level 7 & the closest to have passed Beyond Inhumanity. He will forever stay first in my mind.
    2. Estiloo. First player to 0-fault a ninja level 5, something that nobody could have thought possible even during the early Fusion days. Plus all the crazy runs he did.
    3. Shayne. The last of the "Legendary Trio" as I like to call it.
    4. Sensei GT4. This guy has the most insane input execution. When you see him playing a track for the first time, it looks like he played it tons of times. He also passed Sabotage & Sumrak at an incredible speed. Did I mention he's only 13 years old ?
    5. Nautical. Surpassing everyone in terms of throttle control. Also for that Sumrak pass, and one of the only guys who considered Beyond Inhumanity "worth giving a try".
    6. xXZurG. the player with the highest potential. He passed Sabotage and he is crazy enough to try to pass it multiple times. Also, if he had more motivation to play & if he started playing Fusion around the same time as Peqz did, he would definetly be first.
    7. Slikscythe. The first player to pass every checkpoint of Beyond Inhumanity (on Evo), and one of the very few players who actively searches new techniques for his tracks everytime. + The Sabotage pass.
    8. Lorcan. Best PS4 player around, with a really quick progress. The first PS4 player to pass a ninja level 7 (Sabotage).
    9. Maqrop. Second best PS4 player, a tiny bit behind Lorcan. This guy came out of nowhere & absolutely murdered the level 6's leaderboards, passing a bunch of them in a really short time. Then he went MIA for a couple weeks, only to pass Sabotage recently, following Lorcan.
    10. Bolaman369. Kinda the same as Zurg, he has a really high potential, and he also passed Sumrak.

    Hey, if you think about it, that makes 10 people who passed a level 7. That's actually quite a lot.

    Great summary, thanks

    Ah I've linked to Sensei GT4's videos in Nescab's name. I actually thought Nescab was Sensei GT4, I just saw he had "Trials Fusion Sumrak ( Ninja lvl 7 ) By Nescab" in the title in one of his videos and got a major brainfart But wtf, 13 years old?! That is crazy!

    I don't know what it is with Peqz's videos, but even though he has more faults on Sabotage/Sumrak, it's something about his riding style that makes it more enjoyable to watch imo.. It's so clean Anyway, has Peqz quit Trials now?

    I miss TBN Soty, remember when he owned all the ninja leaderboards on trials evo (and some of the norm tracks). Just checked out his youtube page and seems he hasn't posted in over a year, looks like he did get fusion but went over to the playstation darkside
    Looking at those old ninja tracks again, I miss them
    when will evo be made backwards compatible! my 360 died
