The Spring 2020 PGRU lists the best smashers for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and started on December 16th, 2019.

Methodology

As a result of controversies regarding the methods of the previous season, the methodology has received an overhaul. Rankings are now panel-based instead of using an algorithm, in a similar fashion to the MPGR. The rankings themselves have been extended by 50 places and now ranks the top 100 players instead of 50. Players in Area 51 now count for the PGRU, and five additional players would also be considered 3 months into the season. The international multiplier has been changed as well: the multiplier for the continental United States and Japan would be the same, however the multiplier everywhere else would be made higher; the C-tier threshold for those countries is now 120. Disqualifications for entrants in free-to-enter tournaments would be counted, and a 1-DQ buffer was given to S-tier tournaments. Finally, there would be an off-season starting in December and ending in January.

Tournament evaluated

Note: Tiers are preliminary based solely on entrant counts. The final tier will not be known until the Fall 2019 PGRU releases.
