| The '''Four Horsemen''' is a term used in the competitive ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' community referring to {{sm|acola}}, {{sm|Sparg0}}, {{sm|Sonix}} and {{sm|Miya|p=Honshu}}, 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 {{Sm|MkLeo}} and {{Sm|Tweek}}, and has been compared to ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Super Smash Bros. Melee's]]'' [[Five Gods]] era.
