The Top-Ranked Active Main of Each Character: 2022
A few notes: first, only one character will count as the main for each player, namely, the character they were using most often in tournament as of December 6, 2022. In rare cases where a player definitely has no usage-based main, they are simply not included in this list. Second, the player must be active with said character as of December 6, 2022 to be counted. If they haven't attended any tournaments in over 3 months, they are not included (unless they are registered for an upcoming tournament), and old mains that the player no longer uses (or has relegated to a secondary) don't count — only the character they were using primarily in tournaments at the end of the ranking period. Next, if I couldn't find anyone in the top 1,000 who actively mains the character, the player will be listed as (unknown). Finally, the following pairs of characters are counted as the same: Samus/Dark Samus, Peach/Daisy, Pit/Dark Pit, and Simon/Richter.
