acola, ranked #1 on LumiRank 2023 and one of the Four Horsemen.

The Four Horsemen is a term used in the competitive Super Smash Bros. Ultimate community referring to acola, Sparg0, Sonix and Miya, due to their overall dominance throughout competitive Ultimate in 2023, being the 4 best players in the world by a large margin. This is following the decline in results from players like MkLeo and Tweek. The term was coined by PracticalTAS after the results of Watch The Throne, and has been compared to The Five Gods of Super Smash Bros. Melee.[1]

Overview

The Four Horsemen won a combined 30/35 (85%) of all attended majors throughout 2023,[2] and 18/19 (94.75%) out of all majors throughout the second half of 2023.[3] In addition, in the event one didn't win the tournament, at least one would make Top 4, with the sole exception being Crown the Third, and with Watch The Throne being the first time that they all made Top 4.[4] Akin to the Five Gods, they rarely see upsets from non-Horsemen, and acola, Sparg0 and Miya have some of the most major wins out of all Ultimate players behind MkLeo. Notably, the Four Horseman each had a score above 95 on the LumiRank 2023, with the next highest being Glutonny with a score of 84.78.

Trivia

  • The "Four Horsemen" in the Japanese Ultimate scene are commonly referred to as the "Four Emperors".[5]
  • All of the "Four Horsemen" started off as wifi-warriors, with Sparg0 and Sonix grinding on the weekly Coinbox tournament series and acola and Miya using Smashmate.

Etymology

The "Four Horsemen" originally refers to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from the New Testament's Book of Revelation. They are commonly interpreted to be the personifications of Death, Famine, War, and either Conquest or Glory depending on interpretation. In modern day, the term has become a common internet meme, often referring to an undesirable but inevitable quartet of events or individuals.
