The 2023 Smash 64 Power Rankings is a rankings list compiled by Andykins, Big Red, box, Darkhorse, Dogs_Johnson, Dr. Sauce, Fray, Huntsman, Josh Brody, KrisKringle, Pokehero, Shihman, and SotoH.

Methodology

Qualifying players must have attended at least two of the qualified tournaments listed, including a majors (or similarly notable regionals) that was played on the NTSC-U version of the game. The exception to this rule was if a player only attended Super Smash Con 2022, given they had played in at least 8 sets during the event. For players who only attended one non-Super Smash Con event (or did not meet the Super Smash Con qualification), they were excluded from the rankings. To remedy this, a "Hidden Bosses" section was created, listing 8 players who likely would have qualified had they attended an additional event. The panelists then ranked qualifying players from #1 to #64, including a few additional players who just missed the cut into the "Expansion Pak".

Expansion Pak

The players listed within the "Expansion Pak" were very close to making it to the main rankings, but just missed the cut. They were unranked between each other, and as such are all considered to be effectively ranked #65.

Hidden Bosses

Hidden Bosses are players who likely would have been ranked had they attended at least 2, NTSC-U tournaments (or attend Super Smash Con 2022) and did quite well at the 1 tournament they did attend.

Trivia

• Isai's rank marks the first time since the inception of the rankings that a player from the United States has been ranked 1st, as well as the first time a North American player has been ranked 1st since SuPeRbOoMfAn in 2018.
• Similar to his ranking on the 2021-2022 iteration, Shears's place of residence was his car "(2012 Chevy Cruze, USA)", due to him traveling around the United States.
