The '''SSBMRank Summer 2023''' lists the world's top 50 ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' players in the first half of 2023 as compiled by [[Melee Stats]]. The rankings were announced in a series of [[start.gg]] articles published from August 7th-11th, 2023.

==Methodology==
28 people, such as top players, community leaders, tournament seeders, and regional power rankers, were chosen to be panelists for this edition of [[SSBMRank]]. The panelists were provided with the following prompt:<br>''Based on the quality of results from December 19, 2022 to July 23, 2023 rate each player on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being best).<br> Exhibitions, online tournaments, and tournaments that did not complete are NOT to be counted.<br> You may consider results at locals and invitationals, but understand that the environment surrounding these events may not always be the most serious in nature.<br> If you as a panelist are a player who is on the ballot, you may give yourself a score as a placeholder, but any score you use for yourself will NOT be counted''<br> Panelist scores were then normalized, following which a final rating would be calculated based on a point estimate of the votes, with outliers suppressed on a percentile basis.
