OrionRank 2022
The OrionRank 2022 was a power ranking that listed the world's top Super Smash Bros. Ultimate smashers for 2022. The season began on December 22nd, 2021, and ended on December 18th, 2022. A mid-year ranking was also released, covering tournaments from the start of the season up to June 2022.
Methodology[edit]
Methodology
The largest change to the methodology was the decrease in importance for regional tournaments, which was a point of criticism for the OrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse. The point threshold for Category 4 and 5 tournaments have also been increased.
