LumiRank 2023

The UltRank 2023 is an ongoing power ranking that listed the world's best Super Smash Bros. Ultimate smashers for 2023.

Methodology

The methodology for the UltRank 2023 largely utilizes OrionRank's methodology 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 points for several tournament tiers, 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.
