The 2017 SSBMRank lists the world's top 100 Super Smash Bros. Melee smashers, as compiled by Melee It On Me. They are being announced in a series of Red Bull eSports articles that are published from January 3rd, 2018 to January 16th, 2018.

Methods

Roughly 60 people, such as top players, community leaders, tournament seeders, and regional power rankers, were chosen to be panelists for this edition of SSBMRank. The panelists were asked to rate players based on the following criterion:
Based on quality and quantity of results in 2017, rate each player on a scale of 1-10. Imagine if everyone entered a tournament, one hundred times. Who would perform the best?
The tournaments were from Eden to (only top 30 could be edited at this point) The Holiday Bash Smash Invitational. They voted on a 1-10 scale with the best player receiving a "10" and the worst player receiving a "1". Ballots that were not scaled properly were rescaled using an algorithm. The three lowest and three highest ratings before taking the average were removed in order to reduce the variance.

Hidden Bosses

The Hidden Bosses were divided into two lists. The first list includes players that made it into the final ballot for SSBMRank and the second list includes the list of players who made it to the first nomination list, but were removed due to a lack of activity or a low likelihood of making the top 100 cut.
