The Panda Global Rankings is a list compiled by Panda Global Gaming, depicting the world's top 50 Super Smash Bros. for Wii U smashers from the beginning of the game's lifespan (starting at Apex 2015) to May 2016 (ending at 2GGT: Fresh Saga), as compiled by 48 panelists and the PGstats Team -- Dom, suar, and Zan. The players' rankings are purely based on tournament placings and set counts. It also includes a separate and subjective metric voted on by the panelists referred to as "X-Factor", which follows a more similar approach to Melee It On Me's SSBMRank. Each player's X-Factor is the difference between their PGR and their spot on the list that the surveyor's rated them at. The full list was revealed after Get On My Level 2016, but was created before the tournament started, making some of the set records and notable wins exclusive to the time beforehand.
Panelists
The subjective components used to determine the X Factors was derived from a survey that was sent to over 50 community members from around the world.
The United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Europe, and Australia were represented among the 48 individuals who were surveyed that answered back.
