The 2024 Smash 64 Power Rankings is a rankings list compiled by Andykins, Big Red, Dr. Sauce, Darkhorse, Fray, Josh Brody, KD3, Lowww, KrisKringle, ReefyBeefy, Pokehero, and Wookiee.

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 Supernova 2024, given they had played in at least 10+ sets during the event. For players who only attended one non-Supernova event (or did not meet the Supernova 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 Supernova 2024) and did quite well at the 1 tournament they did attend.

Trivia

• Just like previous iterations of the ranking, Shears's place of residence was his car "(2012 Chevy Cruze, USA)", due to him traveling around the United States.
• In memory of Raychu, who passed away on October 23rd, 2024, his part on the ranking included a comment section where many members of the Smash 64 community paid tribute by sharing their experiences with him.
