I would say seb is like the Jimmy White of the game, and sean is like a ronny!?

Or you guys pick!

Few epic ratios for you:

Whocares8x8: 1.28 cents per frame in power.
Destiny: 19.6 frames per 107 in arcade.
Destiny: 5.84 frames per 5+ in carom.
Adam_147: 6.09 frames per 5+ in carom (sorry, couldn't resist!)
Destiny: 52.3 frames per 10+ in carom.
Whocares8x8: 4.53 frames per cent in original.
Destiny: 10.1 frames per cent in arcade.
Whocares8x8: 5.62 frames per cent in regular.

Damee: 3.22 frames per cent in regular.
Banana: 3.83 frames per cent in regular.
Banana: 4.67 frames per cent in original.
Banana: 7.02 frames per cent in arcade.
Banana: 11.4 frames per 107 in arcade.
Etarvt: 4.38 frames per 5+ in carom.
Etarvt: 43.7 frames per 10+ in carom.

(Left a gap between long standing records where I don't think players have reset and those shorter term but equally epic stats).

Stats can't lie!

Oh my picks:

Current:

Arcade: Destiny
Regular: Banana
Original: Whocares8x8
Carom: Etarvt
Power: Whocares8x8

All time:

Arcade: Destiny
Regular: Damee
Original: Damee
Carom: Destiny
Power: Whocares8x8

Current:

Arcade: Destiny - due to all the maxes he has been making
Regular: Calvinklein - just what i have seen recently, rarely play the game
Original: Whocares8x8
Carom: Etarvt - would include fuzz as well but etarvt ranks and achievements in the past month or two speak volumes
Power: Whocares8x8 - no arguments here

All time:

Arcade: Destiny - surpassed ste_efc as the greatest Arcade player lately when he took 1st on Maxes, Quick_pot for consistency
Regular: Damee for Maxes and consistency
Original: Damee for Maxes, Destiny/Seb for consistency
Carom: Destiny for Runs, Fuzzy for consistency
Power: Whocares8x8 for Rank and consistency, Slatty/Damee for the 200+

just my view

The best player i have played is Seb without a doubt....there is also the classics...Damee ( Unreal geographic knowledge of a snooker table)...Destiny ( THE original robot, unbeatable in his day thanks to an immense break off and calculated shot picking)...Chase475 ( Very quick thinking, technical player)....Kaison ( an oldie but i just couldnt beat him at arcade, like he was a wizard)....pirate_steve ( Brilliant all rounder, great use of spin, and a nice guy too )

But i always always struggle to beat Seb, winning a frame off him is just so hard, in fact the only time ive really won comfortably is when ive snookered him off break and hit a max! If you give him a chance he will take it! AND his pace is almost, almost as good as mine! No in all seriousness he is an outstanding player and obviously a smart guy.

Way to go Sebbo!!

Two categories I think:

best match player: whocares8x8 (destiny in carom).
best technical player: damee (fuzzy in carom).

basing this on the fact that seb can seemingly win any frame, regardless of the ball position, and always finds a way to get a frame winning break in a way no other player I have played can. If you miss vs seb, you may as well just leave because he will beat you . damee on the other hand plays shots to open balls and generates max chances from bad positions in a way no-one else does.
for carom, destiny is just a robot and hits the "standard" shots at a higher % than anyone else and can adjust spin for every individual shot perfectly. fuzzy on the other hand has a superb eye and works out shots that really aren't possible .

Few other shouts: arpeggi superb technical orig player, pirate_steve very good match player, sort of a seb lite especially in orig. Mooney is almost as good as fuzzy at inventing carom shots. cue_power used to be a genius at finding his way round the arcade and carom tables. etarvt these days is turning into the new fuzzy of carom, not quite there yet but will be soon. sean_paul plays like damee at orig, but misses a few more pots . chase475 on the reg table was also a bit of a monster (and was very good at orig too, carom a master of hitting 11 cushions).

agreed with all of the above mentioned

This Year

Seb is the best player on regular on the site now.
Followed by banana man for max and win percentage.

seb is the best power player on the site by a mile.
Slatty has the higher break but means nothing if he plays seb he will get his bum slapped and he will prob like it!:)

seb is the best original player on the site now.
Sean is defo a contender after hitting back to backs last night! Plus his had over 25 original max's on last account.

Sean is the best arcade player on the site now.
mr too hotti is a very close contender but seans 107's & higher ranking on last account beat him to it and now his back his virt already!

Etarvt is the best carom player on the site now.
Along with Fuzzy, adam, bud & stinger man. (All a bit close there really,

Seb has been 1st overall on the site all year so he counts for most types because he is that good on the game.

i still stand by my prediction, in past 6 months destiny has become number 1 in Arcade Maxes passing a man who was unbeaten for years in the max department, also got most maxes in one day and without playing many ranked games thats what i based my choice on.

My Overall pick of best player ever would be destiny because he can play carom as well as the other types. damien and seb can play carom too but not to the extent that destiny can. Without carom it would be a toss up between the 3 above as dest is best at arc, damien at reg, seb at power and orig about the same.

My Top 3 with Carom included:
1. destiny
2. damee
3. seb
(adam_147/moons would be other contenders)

My Top 3 without Carom included:
1. damee
2. seb
3. destiny

with Pool included:
all 3 above, equal talented as like on snooker
