**This is the first year-long global ''Melee'' ranking to feature not only one, but three {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}} players ({{Sm|Junebug}}, {{Sm|ckyulmiqnudaetr}}, and {{Sm|Akir}}).

**This is the first year-long global ''Melee'' ranking to feature two {{SSBM|Link}} players ({{Sm|Aklo}} and Egg$), as well as Link player within the Top 10 (Aklo).

**{{Sm|Cody Schwab}} became the first number 1-ranked player on a year-long global ''Melee'' ranking to be ranked with solo {{SSBM|Fox}}.

*This is the first year where {{Sm|ChuDat}}, {{Sm|SFAT}}, and {{Sm|Leffen}} did not appear on a year-long global ''Melee'' ranking. The first two did not meet activity requirements to be listed on the ballot, and the majority of panelists abstained on ranking Leffen due to him not attending any events in the latter half of 2023.
