SSBMRank is compiled from the analysis of tournament data and playstyles for smashers that took part in at least one American tournament; from there, a group of panelists, consisting of top professional smashers, commentators, and tournament organizers, gave smashers a ranking of 1 to 10. The highest and lowest scores were dropped, and an average of all of the remaining votes is calculated to give a final score. The top 100 is then compiled from this data, with 10 being the highest possible score; when the list itself is published, panelists also give their thoughts on the smashers, as well as information relating to their [[main]]s. | SSBMRank is compiled from the analysis of tournament data and playstyles for smashers that took part in at least one American tournament; from there, a group of panelists, consisting of top professional smashers, commentators, and tournament organizers, gave smashers a ranking of 1 to 10.

SSBMRank used to only include players that | SSBMRank used to only include players that have taken part in at least one American tournament, as many of the panelists reside in the United States. As a result, some notable, international players that rarely travel to the United States have not appeared in the rankings so far, such as {{Sm|Amsah}} and {{Sm|Dark}}; some smashers featured on the 2013 list, like {{Sm|Unknown522}}, {{Sm|Overtriforce}}, and {{Sm|Gucci}}, also later failed to reappear in the 2014 listing for similar reasons. As of the 2015 list, SSBMRank started including players who have taken part in major European tournaments as well. The 2013 incarnation of the list also neglected to include some notable players that were less active than others or had recently returned to the tournament scene, such as {{Sm|Lord HDL}}, {{Sm|Lambchops}}, and {{Sm|Wife}}; this was later rectified in the 2014 list. | ||
SSBMRank was superseded in 2018 by the [[Melee Panda Global Rankings]], compiled by [[PG Stats]] and Melee It On Me. Despite the name change, the methodology behind the rankings remains mostly identical. The SSBMRank branding was reinstated starting with the 2022 rankings following controversy related to the Panda Cup boycott. | SSBMRank was superseded in 2018 by the [[Melee Panda Global Rankings]], compiled by [[PG Stats]] and Melee It On Me.
