The Panda Global Rankings (PGR) is a biannual list compiled by Panda Global Gaming's PG Stats team ranking the world's top 50 Super Smash Bros. for Wii U smashers. The first list was released on May 27th, 2016.

The second list will be fully revealed on January 19th, 2017.

Methods

PGR v1 (January 2015 - May 2016)

The first list was compiled by 48 panelists and the PG Stats team -- Dom, suar, and Zan and took into account tournament results from Apex 2015 to 2GGT: Fresh Saga. The players' rankings are purely based on tournament placings and set counts, with a heavy emphasis on 7 major events: Apex 2015, CEO 2015, EVO 2015, Paragon Los Angeles 2015, The Big House 5, GENESIS 3 and Pound 2016[1].

It also includes a separate and subjective metric voted on by the panelists referred to as "X-Factor", which follows a more similar approach to Melee It On Me's SSBMRank. A player's X-Factor is the difference between their PGR ranking and their spot on the list that the surveyors rated them at. A player with a very positive X-Factor would theoretically be a notable figure in the community feared by top players but would not have the results to back them up. On the other hand, a player with a negative X-Factor would be somewhat of a "hidden boss" showing impressive results and wins with a lack of acknowledgement from the community. The full list was revealed after LVL UP EXPO 2016 and Get On My Level 2016, but was created before those tournaments started, making some of the set records and notable wins exclusive to the time beforehand.

Tournaments evaluated

Bolded tournaments signify majors, and non-bolded tournaments are defined as nationals by the PG Stats team.

Panelists

The subjective components used to determine the X-Factors were derived from a survey that was sent to over 50 community members from around the world.

The United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Europe, and Australia were represented among the 48 individuals who were surveyed that answered back.

Tristate (8) - ANTi, Dabuz, Dom, False, Gunblade, Nairo, NAKAT, Tweek
Japan (7) - 9B, Abadango, Earth, komorikiri, Mr.II, Nietono, RAIN
Florida (6)- Diamond Overstreet, Sol, Master Raven, MVD, saj, suar
Europe (6) - Luigi player, Mr. R, Risuno, Rito, Tetra, vyQ
SoCal (5) - falln, Larry Lurr, VoiD, Zan, ZeRo
Maryland/Virginia (3) - Mister Eric, Remzi, Seagull Joe
Mexico (2) - Hyuga, MkLeo
Australia (2) - KuroganeHammer, Shaya
Midwest (2) - Ori, Vayseth
Southwest (1) - Bear
Northwest (1) - Big D
Southeast (1) - Fatality
New England (1) - Pugwest
NorCal (1) - Shaky
Canada (1) - Toronto Joe
South (1) - Trela

PGR v2 (May 2016 - December 2016)

The second list will take into account results from LVL UP EXPO 2016 to 2GGT: ZeRo Saga included. Spike, juddy, and Giant were added to the PG Stats team to more accurately cover the Japanese, European, and Mexican scenes. The tournaments included are classified into tiers according to the number of ranked players attending and the number of entrants in general, with tier 1 including major events and tier 4 locals. Just like the first rankings, a heavy emphasis is put on 6 tier 1 tournaments: CEO 2016, EVO 2016, Super Smash Con 2016, The Big House 6, UGC Smash Open, and 2GGT: ZeRo Saga. The X-Factor metric will make its return as well[2].

Tournaments evaluated

Bolded tournaments signify tier 1 events, and non-bolded tournaments are defined as tier 2 events by the PG Stats team.

Panelists

The subjective components used to determine the X-Factors were derived from a survey that was sent to many community members from around the world.
