It has come to my attention that I never actually explained why this ranking was discontinued, so I'll do it right now. | It has come to my attention that I never actually explained why this ranking was discontinued, so I'll do it right now. | ||
Despite the discussion that took place above, the consensus on the wiki was that, despite input from other players familiar with Brawl, the rankings were still not all that accurate, especially after we performed our [[Talk:List of major tournaments (SSBB)|Major reclassification for Brawl]] which made this list even less accurate. The fact that orange_ssbu had virtually no known experience in creating such a ranking before, and has done nothing similar since then | Despite the discussion that took place above, the consensus on the wiki was that, despite input from other players familiar with Brawl, the rankings were still not all that accurate, especially after we performed our [[Talk:List of major tournaments (SSBB)|Major reclassification for Brawl]] which made this list even less accurate. The fact that orange_ssbu had virtually no known experience in creating such a ranking before, and has done nothing similar since then, also further puts the rankings' validity into question, as it seemed like it was a project from a dedicated fan meant to emulate [[RetroSSBMRank]] that just so happened to receive some input from known players, rather than an actual attempt from an experienced user to creating a ranking. I am not trying to discredit orange_ssbu's efforts here, but it's clear that there are still several issues with the rankings; namely: | ||
*A lack of Japanese players in the first two years, despite early results from players such as {{Sm|RAIN}} and {{Sm|Souther}} that should have placed them somewhere on the list. While such a ranking that includes Japanese players may be impossible due to how separate the two were in early-Brawl, both players did not even receive an honorable mention. This also further emphasizes how difficult a retro ranking for Brawl would be, and how important it is for a retro ranking to be worked on by someone actually experienced/has a history with Brawl. | *A lack of Japanese players in the first two years, despite early results from players such as {{Sm|RAIN}} and {{Sm|Souther}} that should have placed them somewhere on the list.

*{{Sm|Tyrant}} dropping significantly to 17th on the 2010 list, despite still placing 2nd at a supermajor ({{Trn|MLG Dallas 2010}}) and 3rd at a major ({{Trn|MLG Orlando 2010}}). Sure the rest of his season wasn't great, but his lowest was still 10th at {{Trn|MLG DC 2010}}, and none of that should have warranted a 12-spot drop from the previous list, or at least being ranked below players like {{Sm|NickRiddle}}, whose placements were overall worse than Tyrant's. | *{{Sm|Tyrant}} dropping significantly to 17th on the 2010 list, despite still placing 2nd at a supermajor ({{Trn|MLG Dallas 2010}}) and 3rd at a major ({{Trn|MLG Orlando 2010}}).
