The LumiRank, formerly UltRank, is an algorithmic power ranking run by Barnard's Loop that ranks the year's top 100 smashers in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, with a mid-year check-up that ranks the top 50 players in the world. It is the successor to the Panda Global Rankings Ultimate and also incorporates several elements from the OrionRank, which Barnard's Loop previously ran.

The power rankings were created in December 2022, weeks before the release of its first rankings, following the collapse of Panda, as the team's PGStats division rank the PGRU. As a result, the inaugural rankings were different than future rankings: it only utilized data from around the second half of 2022 and did not have its own standalone methodology, instead aggregating the rankings produced from the EchoRank, OmegaRank, and OrionRank algorithms. Future rankings will use UltRank's own methodology. On August 4th, 2023, Luminosity Gaming announced that they were now sponsoring UltRank, which rebranded as LumiRank effective from the release of the 2023 Mid-Year rankings.
