TBD
Notes[edit]
- Tables are split into mains and secondaries due to the greater variance of character usage compared to an average tournament run. Secondaries won't be shown if a higher main ranking exists.
- Seasons that exist as midway points for other seasons (ex. Summer rankings to Full-year rankings) will not be considered for the purpose of this page.
Smash 64[edit]
Exceptions:
- 2017 64 League Rankings: Due to Isai maining all characters, the entire list has been excluded to reduce hassle.
- 2023 Smash 64 Power Rankings: JamieHR is a Mario and Captain Falcon dual main, with Mario being listed first since 2023. If one were to disqualify him, the highest player would be Kimimaru at 30th in 2016.

Smash Brawl[edit]
Only 2014 is factored into the first table, given the smaller scope of post-Smash 4 rankings. The second table features characters than have ranked higher since Smash 4.
