There's big news for fans of the competitive Super Smash Bros. Melee scene,with SSBMRANK announcing that it will be partnering with Red Bull eSports to reveal the world's greatest players from the past year. For those of you that don't know, SSBMRANK is a community-driven ranking of the top 100 players in Super Smash Bros. Melee.; created and continually supported by MeleeItOnMe, now into its fourth year, this collaboration with Red Bull is a substantial deal for the Smash Bros following.
To decide the order, top players, commentators and community members were asked to vote for the quality of each player on a scale from 1 to 10. Then these are calculated to find the average before being ranked accordingly. Starting 26th December the ranking runs each working day for three weeks before culminating with the number one spot.

Red Bull tastes like cough syrup.
@JackD123 but it gives you wings
If you are the top Smash Bros player in the world, are you truly a 'winner'?
Food for thought.
Here's hoping Hungrybox gets something after getting shafted at TGA.
@JackD123 - Personally, I think it tastes like sugar, synthetic caffine, taurine, and other things I've never heard of.
It has to be either Armada or HungryBox at the top of the list. Nothing else would make sense.
@WilliamCalley Yes, you are.
In regards to personal growth HungryBox did amazing this year. I would like him to get placed at the top, but knowing how consistent Armada was this year, it's gonna be close. Also Plup played out of his mind too, I kinda wish he'd get top 3 at least.
Never understood competitive Melee, but I do like the name HungryBox so... GO HUNGRYBOX!
i don't wanna hear poop! the intricacy setups to rest of Hungrybox's puff this year is just insane! that's top-level skill, that's why competitive gaming is relevant!
HungryBox for 2016, all day everyday -period!
@WilliamCalley No because I don't participate in these.
@WilliamCalley Yeah. You get thousands of dollars for playing a game you like. If that's not being a winner I don't know what is.
@WilliamCalley Absolutely. With an absurd amount of talent required to be even remotely good at Melee, and competitive scene over 10 years old, it is quite a feat to be named the best melee player in the world. This isn't like competitive Mario Party, casual scum. This is Melee, which is slowly but surely becoming a recognized eSport. Smash 4 still has a ways to go, but competitive Melee is very intricate.
xP Honestly, it's been a long time since I last played Melee.
I should seriously check out if there are any events near me.
Armada
