One of the most eagerly anticipated things in the Super Smash Bros. Melee calendar, Melee It On Me and Red Bull eSports are partnering together to host this year’s edition of the SSBM World Rankings. Listing the top 100 Melee players, this list gives players, tournament organizers and esports teams the most up to date information on the best Melee talent out there at the moment.

Decided by a panel of community leaders, top players and commentators, each player is ranked with a number from one to ten, which are then compiled into an overall average which is then plotted in a top 100 list. Other members of the community help write player bios, create special graphics and fact find to make this top 100 ranking a big community effort.

This year’s countdown will begin on December 26th with ranks 100-91, with new ranks being released every day until January 13th, 2017. There will no doubt be plenty of vigorous discussion via Twitter as the ranks are released, so make sure to check back in with Red Bull eSports regularly to see who has made it into the top 100.
