SSBMRank 2022 and ULTRank 2022 are here!

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Super Smash Bros. Melee sure had one hectic year! And, with such a crazy year, it’s natural to want to know who did the best in each game. Unfortunately it can be very hard to sort which players did well, but Start.gg has us all covered. We now have ULTRank 2022 and SSBMRank 2022 to help with that.

ULTRank and SSBMRank were made very differently from each other. ULTRank is based on a combination of three separate algorithms. These algorithms belong to three other ranking systems, EchoRank, OrionRank, and ΩRank. SSBMRank on the other hand uses a panel system where panelists vote on individual players.

Here’s how the rankings ended up:

Why in descending order?
And more importantly: Where's Brawl Rank?

 

Why in descending order?
And more importantly: Where's Brawl Rank?

Honestly, I just went with descending because I felt like it, there's no real reason.

As for Brawl Rank, turns out Brawl Central made one for 2020-2022. It's got a write-up on Reddit and a video
