The LumiRank 2023, formerly known as the UltRank 2023, was a power ranking that lists the world's best Super Smash Bros. Ultimate smashers for 2023. The season started on December 19th, 2022 and concluded on December 17th, 2023. A mid-year ranking was also released, ranking players from the start of the year up to July 23rd.

Methodology
Tournament Tierer

The tournament tier system for the LumiRank 2023 utilizes OrionRank's system while implementing changes meant for the OrionRank 2023.

Due to the disputed tiering of a few tournaments that OrionRank 2022 labeled as a "major", several changes regarding tournament points were implemented. First, the threshold for several tournament tiers were raised, with the major score being raised to 3,000, and new tiers were added including "submajor" (at 2,000 points) and "premier" (at 9,000 points). Player point values were also changed: the top 20 had their point values increased significantly, while players who qualify for the rankings are no longer given points to counteract overinflated scores towards the end of the season.[1]

In order to be ranked, players are required to attend two open majors and a total of six ranked events.

The following players were not from a region that received a regional ranking, but were considered the best players from their country by the algorithm:

TriviaEdit

  • Fui and Riku were the only two players who were ranked in the top 100 on the mid-year ranking but were unranked on the full-year top 150 ranking.
  • This is the first time that MkLeo has missed top 10 on an official ranking since the PGR v1 back in Smash 4.
  • This is the first time that an American player has not made the top 5 on an official global ranking, with the highest being Light at #6.

ReferencesEdit

  1. ^ Tournament scoring update.
  2. ^ a b c d e f These tournaments were retiered due to their region releasing a new PR during this half of the year, or the region being reassessed as a "region seat". However, as these tournaments were reassessed after the mid-year ranking was finalized, these tournaments were not considered for the mid-year ranking, and will instead be counted for the full year.
  3. ^ Smash Pro League 27 had been previously evaluated as a biweekly tournament, making it ineligible for the ranking; however, it was later decided to be counted as a monthly tournament in mid-August. This change came after the mid-year ranking was finalized, meaning that Smash Pro League 27 and other tournaments in the series were not counted for the mid-year ranking, but will be counted for the full-year.
  4. ^ This tournament was added after the mid-year ranking was finalized, and as such was only considered for the full year ranking.
