Wi-Fi Warrior Rank v5

Wi-Fi Warrior Rank v5
Period active	January-June 2020
Region	Online
Game(s) supported	Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

The Wi-Fi Warrior Rank v5 (WWR v5) lists the best smashers for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's online competitive scene for the first half of 2020.

Methodology

Methodology summary
Some new changes were implemented mid-season. As a result of several tournaments becoming region-locked, a new multiplier was implemented to the system specifically for those tournaments, with a x0.85 for American tournaments and x1.25 for international tournaments. Furthermore, to accommodate the increased number of players due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the rankings were extended to Top 75. Finally, the algorithm has been overhauled with losses being fully recorded, players getting points for wins on anyone in the top 250 range, and the removal of "thresholds," or the lowest possible placement at a tournament that will factor into the rankings.

Players of the Month

Beginning in the v5 season, the WWR introduced the Players of the Month, a monthly award to the top performers in online competition as voted by the WWR's X-factor panelists. Each month, three players are voted the #1, #2, and #3 players of the month, and an additional award is given to the Breakout Player, who is judged to have most improved or exceeded expectations.

Month	#1	Character	#2	Character	#3	Character	Breakout	Character

February	Sharp		king_chris		Br1 AV		One Crit Man
March	Sparg0		Kola		Sonix		Mr.L
April	Sonix		Cosmos		BestNess		Snormanda
May	Sonix		Tweek		BestNess		TonyZTank
