Spring 2019 PGRU
The PGRU v1 lists the best smashers for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, starting on February 1st, 2019 with Sumabato SP 2 and GENESIS 6 and having a tentative end date on July 7th, 2019.
Methodology
The first list is formulated exactly like Super Smash Bros. for Wii U's Panda Global Rankings, however the TTS has been altered a bit. There are now two different scales for tournaments: continental tournaments, which is based off of tournaments in the United States, and international tournaments, which is based off of tournaments outside of the United States. The only difference between the two scales are that each entrant in the international tournaments are worth 1.25 points instead of 1.
All tournaments themselves are still ranked by tiers: C-Tier (200 entrants continental, 160 entrants international), B-Tier (400 entrants continental, 320 entrants international), A-Tier (600 entrants continental, 480 entrants international), and S-Tier (1,200 entrants continental, 960 entrants international). Past PGR rankings do not factor into the first list.
