Do they use a ranking system in smash?
In super smash bros tournaments, do they have a ranking system (for example, Elo)? what is it?
Best Answer
Locally scenes rank the top players using Power Rankings (PR). Usually this consists of the top 10 players, but sometimes extends as far as top 16 or top 20 with the possibility of honourable mentions. This is used to seed the top players at local tournaments, as well as to give Tournament Organizers (TOs) outside the region an idea of who is good in a given area. Outside of PR, there are other rankings that are used namely the Melee it on Me rankings for Melee, and the Panda Global Rankings for Smash 4 which outline the top 100 players in each game.
Local PRs and the lists above can be voted upon by top players taking into account tournament placements, wins, losses, and perception of skill, but there are also some that only take into account tournament placements using an algorithm. The method used to decide the PR is generally at the discretion of the TO.
