The '''Four Horsemen''', known as the '''Four Emperors''' in the Japanese ''Ultimate'' scene,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/you20kk/status/1751008497486205233|title=Four Emperors origin}}</ref> is a term used in the competitive ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' community referring to {{sm|acola}}, {{sm|Sparg0}}, {{sm|Sonix}}, and {{sm|Miya|p=Honshu}} due to their overall dominance throughout competitive ''Ultimate'' in 2023, being the 4 best players in the world by a large margin. This is following the decline in results from players such as {{Sm|MkLeo}}, {{Sm|Marss}}, and {{Sm|Tweek}} who dominated the scene during the early metagame. The term was coined by {{Sm|PracticalTAS}} after the results of {{Trn|Watch The Throne}}, and has been compared to [[The Five Gods]] of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/PracticalTAS/status/1734099259295768937|title=Origin of the term}}</ref>
