The OrionRank Pre-Quarantine has ranked 100 of the best Super Smash Bros. Ultimate players in the world. OrionRank is an algorithm-based ranking run by Josh “Barnard’s Loop” Craig.
Back in March, the PGRU was frozen until further notice because of the coronavirus pandemic. As a result, the OrionRank Pre-Quarantine is currently the most notable Smash Ultimate ranking that considers results from early 2020. The list is based on offline results from Dec. 27, 2019 – March 15, 2020.

Breaking down the OrionRank Pre-Quarantine
MkLeo has maintained his status as the best player in the world on the OrionRank Pre-Quarantine from Barnard’s Loop.

However, MkLeo cemented his status as No. 1 by winning Frostbite 2020 with an insane losers run.

Even more impressively, Kola rose 29 places to No. 16 in the world. Dark Wizzy had wins over Jdizzle, Fatality, ZD, Sinji, MuteAce, Meme, Cosmos, Light, Dabuz, ESAM, and Tweek. Kola had wins over ScAtt, Fatality, RFang, WaDi, Gackt, Kuro, Riddles, Epic_Gabriel, ZD, Toast, Cosmos, Dabuz, and Marss.
Paseriman was the highest-ranked player to make his Super Smash Bros. Ultimate top 50 debut on the OrionRank Pre-Quarantine. Paseriman finished the season as No. 11 in the world. He had wins over Jagaimo, Shogun, ScAtt, Etsuji, shky, Kameme, Zackray, and Marss. Wrath, Toast, quiK, Meme, and MattyG also notably made their top-50 debuts within the top 30 on this ranking.
