'''Global Smash Power''', ({{ja|世界戦闘力|Sekai Sentō Ryoku}}, ''World Combat Power'') abbreviated '''GSP''', is the online ranking system found in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. Announced during the [[Super Smash Bros. Direct]], the system ranks all players' [[score]]s on a numeric scale, with the number being related to how many players that player outranks. For example, a player with a rank of 251,357 would have a better score than 251,356 other players. The system is unusual for being an inverse ranking system; whereas other games would feature 1 as the best player, Global Smash Power would rank 1 as the worst player (meaning that the player is better than 0 other players). This means players cannot measure how far they are from the top-ranked player, and that the top-ranked player cannot even know that they are the top-ranked player. This system was developed with the intention of a more friendly scale to players of lower skill, using "your score is better than X players" instead of "your score is worse than X players" as a metric. | '''Global Smash Power''', ({{ja|世界戦闘力|Sekai Sentō Ryoku}}, ''World Combat Power'') abbreviated '''GSP''', is the online ranking system found in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Global Smash Power is used only for solo play modes (and separately for their co-op equivalents), and not for multiplayer matches. However, according to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], there is "some sort of matchmaking" during online play, though this matchmaking system is not visible to players. | Global Smash Power is used only for solo play modes (and separately for their co-op equivalents), and not for multiplayer matches.
