The UltRank is an algorithmic power ranking run by Barnard's Loop that ranks the world's top 100 smashers in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate every year, with a mid-year check-up that ranks the top 50 players in the world up to that point. It is the successor to the Panda Global Rankings Ultimate and also incorporates several elements from the OrionRank, which Barnard's Loop previously ran.

The power rankings were created in December 2022, weeks before the release of its first rankings, following the collapse of Panda, as the team's PGStats division rank the PGRU. As a result, the inaugural rankings were different than future rankings: it only utilized data from around the second half of 2022 and did not have its own standalone methodology, instead aggregating the rankings produced from the EchoRank, OmegaRank, and OrionRank algorithms. Future rankings will use UltRank's own methodology.
