Well, I didn't think I'd be back here, but I love making rankings and I think I'm qualilfied to make one, so here I am.
I want to quickly thank all of the SSBMRank panelists who I have discussed my rankings with for giving me some feedback.
Hope you can enjoy it :)
Anyways, here's the methodology I tried to stick by:
- Placements don't matter except for first and maybe second
- Consistency matters a lot
- Good wins valued more than bad losses, especially in dominant H2Hs
- Tried to value attendance
- I do not use locals at all. Prelocals, weeklies, nothing. Regionals and majors only
I decided not to write blurbs this year, it's just a lot of work and I'm just trying to put these rankings out.
However, I overhauled the player info. If you
click on a player card, you can see their region, their number of events attended
(majors + regionals), their record against players on the ballot at majors and regionals, and their number of losses to players not on the ballot.
I designed and coded this website from scratch last year (There's even lightmode in the top right corner, which I assume
only DarkGenex will use) and the
accent color is random (refresh the page for fun).
This is not an algorithmic ranking, algorithms suck for melee.
It was incredibly hard to rank people after about rank 40, many SSBMRank panelists will also agree with this statement.
Turn off your adblocker it may block sponsor logos in the player cards and there are zero ads on this site.

(NEW) Top 200: I expanded the attendance requirements to allow one major and four regionals, if it gave me enough data
otherwise this was not feasible to do an actual decent top 200. No one's ever done this before, and I see why. This was so hard. Hope you enjoy.
I love rankings.
