The '''Smash Panel Power Rankings''' is a list that ranks the top 25 Melee players from the United States. It was originally posted by [[Hyugaricdeau]], [[Marcus]], [[Wife]], [[KishPrime]], [[Eddie]], [[HugS]], [[dcx1287]] and [[chillindude829]].  Though it is the closest thing to national rankings the Smash community has ever had, the panel was disbanded after receiving backlash in the community. These are slightly updated, mostly from the latest results of the Pound 4 tournament recently held.

These are the current rankings:
The '''Smash Panel Power Rankings''' was a [[power ranking]] that listed the top 25 ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' players in the United States. It was compiled in 2006 by [[Smasher:Dr. Z|Hyugaricdeau]], {{sm|Marcus|p=Illinois}}, {{sm|Wife}}, {{sm|KishPrime}}, {{sm|Eddie}}, {{sm|HugS}}, {{sm|dcx1287}}, and {{sm|Chillin}}. The rankings were updated over the course of the year, but it was later discontinued, leaving the ''Melee'' community without a national American power ranking or any other similarly scoped ranking for many years. The idea to rank the absolute best players in competitive ''Melee'' was later revived with the [[SSBPD]], as well as the [[SSBMRank]] in 2013, albeit as a worldwide ranking. [[RetroSSBMRank]] would also later emerge to retroactively rank the ten best ''Melee'' players in the world each year from 2003 up to 2012, the last year before SSBMRank introduced a community accepted worldwide ranking.

The Smash Panel Power Rankings was a power ranking that listed the top 25 Super Smash Bros. Melee players in the United States. It was compiled in 2006 by Hyugaricdeau, Marcus, Wife, KishPrime, Eddie, HugS, dcx1287, and Chillin. The rankings were updated over the course of the year, but it was later discontinued, leaving the Melee community without a national American power ranking or any other similarly scoped ranking for many years. The idea to rank the absolute best players in competitive Melee was later revived with the SSBPD, as well as the SSBMRank in 2013, albeit as a worldwide ranking. RetroSSBMRank would also later emerge to retroactively rank the ten best Melee players in the world each year from 2003 up to 2012, the last year before SSBMRank introduced a community accepted worldwide ranking.

The final rankings upon the ranking's discontinuation are listed below:
