Help me compile a list of the best players for each character!
I want to create a resource for beginners looking to find the best players for each character so that they can study their gameplay and improve. A previous attempt at this by u/-CoolHandLu only focused on a single best player, whereas I'd like to collect all noteworthy players in this list.
Players use these characters to differing degrees. Please only mention players in the 'Main/Secondary of' category for players who regularly (or exclusively) use these characters in tournaments or ranked matches (more recent is better). Specifically, footage of players in this category playing that character should be plentiful. For players who have tournament sets where they experiment with other characters, please mention them in 'Casual users'. Players in this category might have only a few tournament/ranked sets using said character.
Feel free to suggest names you think are missing from this list!

Notes
- Knee is a good reference for any character
- Legacy characters will naturally have more mains than newer characters
- Newer DLC characters like Leroy and Fahkumram don't have true 'mains' as yet, just really good players who play them due to their greater viability
