'''Global Smash Power''' is the name of the new online ranking system found in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', announced during the 4-8-14 Nintendo Direct. It is an inverse ranking system - in other words, whilst normally 1 would be the best player, 1 is in actuality the worst player - the number instead showing the number of people you outrank - a Global Smash Power of 251,357 would mean they outrank 251,356 other people. According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], this score will only be influenced by solo play modes, and that multiplayer play will be ignored- however, he did note that "there would be some sort of matchmaking" during online play.
