The SSBMRank 2023 lists the world's top 100 Super Smash Bros. Melee players in 2023 as compiled by Melee Stats. The rankings were announced in a series of articles published by start.gg from January 15th-26th, 2024.
For the first time in Smash history, the #1 player was not decided by the panelists, but instead was decided by a special exhibition between Zain and Cody Schwab, with Cody ultimately winning.
Methodology
29 people, such as top players, tournament organizers, writers, and analysts were chosen to be panelists for this edition of SSBMRank. The panelists were asked to rank each ballot-eligible player based on their quality of results from December 19th, 2022 to December 17th, 2023 with a value between 1 and 120, and then each player’s rating was aggregated to a single value based on their distribution of votes.

Trivia
- This year-long global Melee ranking featured a number of character-specific firsts:
- Egg$ became the first Yoshi player other than aMSa to be ranked on a year-long global Melee ranking since nebbii on the 2018 MPGR, as well as the first Yoshi player from North America to do so.
- Morsecode762 became the first solo Samus player to be ranked within the Top 20 on a year-long global Melee ranking since Duck on the 2018 MPGR.
- This is the first year-long global Melee ranking to feature not only one, but three Donkey Kong players (Junebug, ckyulmiqnudaetr, and Akir).
- This is the first year-long global Melee ranking to feature two Link players (Aklo and Egg$), as well as Link player within the Top 10 (Aklo).
- Mekk became the first solo Ganondorf player to be ranked within the Top 50 since Kage on the SSBMRank 2017.
- Cody Schwab became the first number 1-ranked player on a year-long global Melee ranking to be ranked with solo Fox.
- This is the first year where ChuDat, SFAT, and Leffen did not appear on a year-long global Melee ranking. The first two did not meet activity requirements to be listed on the ballot, and the majority of panelists abstained on ranking Leffen due to him not attending any events in the latter half of 2023.
- This also makes Leffen the first player to win a major without receiving an end-of-year ranking in the same ranking period.
- Jah Ridin' became the first Swiss player to be ranked on a year-long global Melee ranking.
- Cody Schwab became the first rank 1 player without a sponsor since Mango on the SSBMRank 2013.
