-This is the second tier list released by [[LumiRank]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://luminosity.gg/news/smash-ultimates-2nd-official-tier-list|title=Smash Ultimate's 2nd Official Tier List}}</ref> The methodology remained largely the same from the first. Any player ranked on the [[LumiRank Mid-Year 2023]] or [[LumiRank 2023]] was eligible to vote, and 63 players ultimately submitted a ballot, although two were tossed out due to scoring less than five characters, while one other was tossed for being a troll ballot. Not every character was scored by every panelist: only {{SSBU|Bayonetta}}, {{SSBU|Fox}}, {{SSBU|Palutena}}, {{SSBU|Peach}}/{{SSBU|Daisy}}, {{SSBU|Pyra}}/{{SSBU|Mythra}}, {{SSBU|R.O.B.}}, {{SSBU|Shulk}}, {{SSBU|Steve}}, and {{SSBU|Wolf}} were scored by every panelist, while {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}} was scored by the fewest (55). A new tier was introduced (E tier). Despite that, the tiers themselves were not explicitly defined.

A new tier was introduced (E tier).
+The tiers are split into groups:
+-Top (S+,S,S-)
+-High (A+,A,A-)
+-Upper Mid (B+,B-)
+-Lower Mid (C+,C-)
+-Low (D+,D-)
+-Bottom (E+,E-)
 The largest rise on the tier list was Bayonetta, who rose 19 spots due to the character's consistent popularity in the metagame and the success of players such as {{Sm|Bloom4Eva}}, {{Sm|Lima}}, and {{Sm|TamaPDaifuku}}. In addition, Corrin rose 15 spots due to a renaissance period in 2023 spearheaded by {{Sm|Neo|p=Japan}} and {{Sm|SHADIC}}; {{SSBU|Sora}} rose 13 spots as he finally gained more recognition in top level play; and {{SSBU|Snake}} and both {{SSBU|Samus}} and {{SSBU|Dark Samus}} rose double digits due to being some of the most popular characters in the current metagame. Two characters that defined the current metagame and were mains of one of the [[Four Horsemen]] &mdash; Sonic and {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}} &mdash; rose into the top 3, and 9 panelists notably listed Sonic as first instead of Steve. In the lower tiers, {{SSBU|Lucario}}, {{SSBU|Incineroar}}, and [[Pit (SSBU)|the]] [[Dark Pit (SSBU)|Pits]] all rose double digits due to improving results, thanks to the efforts of both {{Sm|Armadillo}} and {{Sm|Gachipi}} for Lucario, {{Sm|Skyjay}} for Incineroar, and {{Sm|Zackray}} and a slew of Japanese players for the Pits.
