==Methodology==
==Methodology==
Qualifying players must have attended at least two of the qualified tournaments listed, including a [[List of national tournaments|majors]] (or similarly notable regionals) that was played on the [[List of regional version differences (SSB)#NTSC-J to NTSC-U changes|NTSC-U]] version of the game. The expection to this rule was if a player only attended {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2022}}, given they had played in at least 8 sets during the event. For players who only attended one non-Super Smash Con event (or did not meet the Super Smash Con qualification), they were excluded from the rankings. To remedy this, a "Hidden Bosses" section was created, listing 8 players who likely would have qualified had they attended an additional event. The panelists then ranked qualifying players from #1 to #64, including a few additional players who just missed the cut into the "Expansion Pak".
