Power Rankings, often shortened to PRs, are lists that rank the best competitive smashers in a particular region, be it a state, country or world, in order of perceived skill level. They are designed to showcase and honour skilled players, and to encourage competitors to improve. The judgement and presentation of each area's Power Rankings is usually determined by panels of active players in the region's community, who are familiar with each person's abilities. However, the accuracy of the rankings is limited to the knowledge and understanding of the people in these panels. Separate sets of Power Rankings exist for separate games in the Smash Bros. series.
Super Smash Bros.
No regional or national Power Rankings have ever been published for the original Super Smash Bros. game, though an unfinished ELO rating system has been established by the community. Note that Isai, SuPeRbOoM, JaimeHR and Frog among many others are considered to be top professionals in North America.
Melee and Brawl
A number of state, regional and national Power Rankings exist for Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
