Best Super Smash Bros characters

37591 duels later, Sonic remains #1 in the Super Smash Bros ranking, with Pikachu holding second place.

Sonic dominates the roster with 1411 ELO points, but the fight for second is tighter than the gap at the top suggests. A substantial 67 ELO points separate Sonic from Pikachu, the widest margin anywhere in the top rankings. Below them, Joker trails Pikachu by just 4 points at 1340 ELO, with Mario another 4 points behind at 1336. Link rounds out the top 5 at 1322 ELO. The bottom of the ranking reveals the community's clear preferences: Mii Fighters languish at #84 with 1043 ELO points and a 41% win rate, while Inkling sits just above at 1050 ELO despite winning 44% of duels. Wii Fit Trainer occupies #82 with 1063 ELO, suggesting these unconventional fighters struggle to find favor among voters.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
