Smash Brawl Rankings

Smash Brawl Rankings is a website designed to monitor Super Smash Bros. Brawl matches online throughout the U.S. and the world.

This is the site's goal, taken from their home webpage:

"Smash Brawl Rankings has officially launched! Once Super Smash Bros. Brawl is released in the U.S., you'll be able to compete against the world (latency's the limit!) for the top spot in the rankings. Until then, functionality will be limited to the forums and live chat. We encourage you to make a profile and start interacting with other members. Of course, we're sure you'll have questions about how the rankings will work and we'll be revealing that information bit by bit as it gets closer to Brawl's release. For now, check each page for a short description of what will eventually appear there. We already plan on including a ton of great features, but you can post suggestions in the forum and we'll try to incorporate any good ideas into the site."

"We've all been eagerly anticipating Smash Brawl and we were all disappointed when it seemed it would not include its own ranking system. With Smash Brawl Rankings, we hope to fill this gap by providing a continuous ranking system for a friendly, yet competitive community. We've put a lot of thought into how this will work, and we think we can pull it off, improving everyone's Brawl experience. Without revealing too much right now, here are some particulars: The ranking system will be self-reported, allowing for a large number of users and a whole lot of flexibility. Wins and losses will be simple and easy to report and we will have a reliability rating system that keeps track of users that do not report scores correctly. Rankings are comparative: you're fighting to be a better Smash Brawl player than everyone else. As such, our ranking system will require you to branch out in who you challenge; you can't just repeatedly play friends and hope to climb the leaderboard! That's it for now, but don't worry: you'll get more details soon. While you wait, we suggest you register with your preferred handle, which is the way you'll eventually be displayed in the leaderboard."
