:'''Oppose'''. I agree with what a lot of Tacho said about the skill level being a quick shorthand and I don't think the replacements would be nearly as useful or intuitive for readers, especially the "best tournament result" parameter. The vast majority of the debate right now is what is considered "Top level" and I think the parameter is useful enough that that we'd be better off attempting to change it's requirements to match the community's wider interpretation of the term rather than scrapping the whole thing. Something like a blanket top -number- on global PR = Top level I really don't see any issues with and is way easier to point to as objective. Could be top 50, 30, 10, 100, or whatever depending on the game, and could even change based on the year, ex. top 30 SSBBRank 2014 but only top 10 for 2023 -- the "backend" can be as convoluted as it needs to be so long as it makes the actual presentation good. The old requirement would still be used as a default if someone isn't ranked/hasn't been ranked yet. Only problem I could see with this is that the cutoff is arbitrary, but so is the term "top level" itself, and there has to be a cutoff somewhere.

:'''Oppose'''. As much as the skill level parameter has been a headache, a controversial topic that causes multiple discourses I don't believe it should be completely axed. It is still somewhat a quick and easy indicator of sombody's skill at their peak. Is it possible for these new parameters to co-exist with the current skill one? Or maybe we should implement another new label "Botherline top level" to compromise anyone that's barely off but honestly idk at this point.

::SSBWiki has been pretty chaotic these days. With all that said I'm considering abstaining my vote for this proposal. It's not like my "opinions" are ever real or valid anyways.
