I just saw some thread that said someone is the best player ever and despite it being humorous beyond belief, it spawned the question, who are the best players in the game?

Your top 10 Masters, Top 10 Seniors, and Top 10 Juniors, all with reasons. I'll make a master list up at the front and yeah, we will figure it out.

So who are your top 10 players?
 
Uh...

1. Yamato Tsugoyoshi
He is the king of playing unusual stuff and doing good.

2. Jason Klackzyski
He won Worlds. Twice. He is good.

3. Sami Sekkoum
He is consistently really good. A great player.

4. Yuta Fomatsuda
Well, he just won Worlds. He is pretty good.

5. Either Pooka or Eric Nance
They both have good Nats results and nice worlds showing too.
 
Seniors:

Takuto I
Kid is just sickly good, 1st at Worlds, 2nd at Worlds, Top 16 at Worlds

Jacob Lesage
Wins 12 BRs, 6 CCs, 1st & 2nd @ SPTs, 1st @ Regionals, 1st @ Nats, and 1st @ Worlds in 1 year. That is the best season by anyone ever.

Michael D
1st US Nats and top 8 at Worlds 2010, sickness.

Hiroki Y
1st at Worlds in Juniors, 4th at Worlds in Seniors 2010. 2010 JPN Nats Champ

Idk who else tho

I'll think of Juniors and Masters later

Masters:

Jason
2x Worlds win IMO

Fulop
7x worlds invite, 2nd at Worlds 2004, 1st US nats 2007

Yamato
1st at World 2004, 3rd Worlds 2007, many other worlds top cut

Pooka
1st US Nats 2009, 3rd US Nats 2010" 2nd US Nats 2004

Gino
1st US Nats 2008, 3rd Worlds 2008, 5th US Nats 2010

Kettler
7x Worlds invite, multiple regional champ

Silvestro
1st worlds 2009, multiple other high level accomplishments

Sami
Xx Nats Wins/Finals, 2nd Worlds 2009, Xx Worlds top cuts
 
I think Jason klackzyski just owns us when it comes to stuff like that even Takuto I. I may get owned badly by these guys. I got 1 Cities win, 3rd at Battle Roads, 2-time finalist at Battle Roads, and a Battle Road win.
 
Josef BOLTon is the only player to have his name printed on two World Champion decks in two different divisions.
 
I'm already sad knowing Diego, Agustin, Steffen, Kevin, Arco, Esa, and others will show up roughly zero times on this list.
 
They're not really worthy of top 5 though, probably not even top 10. I think they do deserve a honorable mention cause of winning their nationals multiple times and top cutting worlds multiple times, anyone who has ever played them at worlds can probably vouch for their skills.
 
I don't know about Seniors and Juniors, but...

- Jason
- Fulop
- Pooka
- Sami
- Ross

Probably my top 5, no order.

Honorable mentions/top 10/etc: John Kettler, Alex Brosseau, Yamato, Drew Holton, Tyler Ninomura, Michael Diaz, Erik Nance, Jay Hornung, Stephen Silvestro, Gino, Pramawat, Mikey Fouchet.

Topic comes up every once in awhile, comes down to this: it doesn't matter, and it's always changing. You could do a top 10 for each season or throughout their whole career and it's never 100% fair etc etc so it's not worth the trouble and bickering and stuff. Plus, there's only a handful of players who would undoubtedly deserve to be on a "top list" (you named them above pretty much: Jason, Fulop, Pooka, Drew, maybe 1-2 others) and then there's a group of like 20-30 players that are really good that could round out the top 10 at any given time.

Well, it is still interesting to see what the crowd "Pokegym" has to say and how they see the top players. I agree with you that the list is changing all of the time, some players just have something spark in them and they grow from a good player to a great player.
 
The reason why Ness' list on Pojo was worthwhile is that he actually knows and has played against the people he listed.
