The '''Four Horsemen''' 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> The term was far less used in 2024 due to the four players becoming less dominant and having more players win majors over them, including {{Sm|Tweek}}, {{Sm|Light}} and {{Sm|Zomba}} as well as breakout stars such as {{Sm|SHADIC}} and {{Sm|Hurt}}. | The '''Four Horsemen''' is a term used in the competitive ''[[Super Smash Bros.
