The OrionRank is an unofficial 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 is designed as an independent ranking meant to catalog 100 players a year, though often produces mid-season rankings with less players. It operates based on a TTS (Tournament Tiering Sheet) that takes both national & regional rankings into account, and specializes in non-United States scene coverage.
Aside from national rankings, OrionRank has also ranked the best players in North America, Europe, and Japan.
Despite its unofficial status, the rankings have been popular in the community, and was even used by Guinness World Records in a blurb on Ultimate and MkLeo.[1]
