Editing PGR v1

The first list was compiled by 48 panelists and the PG Stats team -- {{Sm|Dom|p=Tri-state}}, {{Sm|suar}}, and {{Sm|Zan}} -- and took into account tournament results from {{Trn|Apex 2015}} to {{Trn|2GGT: Fresh Saga}}. The rankings were purely based on tournament placings and set counts at 22 events, with a heavy emphasis on 7 major events: Apex 2015, {{Trn|CEO 2015}}, {{Trn|EVO 2015}}, {{Trn|Paragon Los Angeles 2015}}, {{Trn|The Big House 5}}, {{Trn|GENESIS 3}}, and {{Trn|Pound 2016}}. All but 3 events considered were located in the United States, and as such many notable events were excluded from the rankings, including various {{Trn|Umebura|series}} and {{Trn|Sumabato}} events, {{Trn|Niconico Tokaigi 2016}} and [[Tournament:Umebura Niconico Qualifier|its]] [[Tournament:Sumabato Niconico Qualifier|qualifiers]], Mexican events {{Trn|Thunderstruck 2015}} and {{Trn|True Combo}}, and the European event {{Trn|DAT BlastZone 7}}. In addition, every considered event were at least at a superregional/national level, and as such many smaller superregionals and regionals were not included.

The rankings also included a separate and subjective metric voted on by the panelists referred to as "X-Factor", which followed a more similar approach to [[Melee It On Me]]'s [[SSBMRank]]. A player's X-Factor is the difference between their PGR ranking and their spot on the list that the surveyors rated them at. A player with a very positive X-Factor would theoretically be a notable figure in the community feared by top players but would not have the results to back them up. On the other hand, a player with a negative X-Factor would be somewhat of a "hidden boss" showing impressive results and wins with a lack of acknowledgement from the community. The full list was revealed after {{Trn|LVL UP EXPO 2016}} and {{Trn|Get On My Level 2016}}, but was created before those tournaments started, making some of the set records and notable wins exclusive to the time beforehand.
