| The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
| When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

OrionRank
The OrionRank was an algorithmic power rankings created by PGStats seeder Barnard's Loop and EazyFreezie for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and later Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It began in 2016, and was designed as an independent ranking meant to catalog 100 players a year, though often produces mid-season rankings with less players. It operated based on a TTS (Tournament Tiering Sheet) that took both national and regional rankings into account, and specialized in non-United States scene coverage.
Aside from national rankings, OrionRank has also ranked the best players in North America, Europe, and Japan. Regional rankings such as the aforementioned have been released following the release of every subsequent yearly ranking.
The rankings have consistently been popular in the community, and was even used by Guinness World Records in a blurb on Ultimate and MkLeo.[1]
Following the release of the 2022 iteration, the OrionRank was retired due to the workload of the project as well as the co-founders' focus on the LumiRank, with several features of OrionRank being added to the new ranking, including its points system, TTS, and regional rankings.[2]
