Panda Global Rankings
Panda Global Rankings or PGR for short is a ranking of the top 50 Super Smash Bros. for Wii U players as determined by Panda Global's stats team, PG Stats, and a panel of community figureheads. The PGR includes a separate and subjective metric voted upon by the panellists referred to as "X-Factor". The X-Factor is the difference between a player's Panda Global Rank and their spot on the list that the panellists rated them. A player with a very positive X-Factor would theoretically be a notable player that is very strong in the eyes of the top players but would not have enough results to back them up. A player with a negative X-Factor would be someone showing impressive results and wins with a lack of acknowledgement from the panellists.
The first version of the list took into account tournament results from Apex 2015 to 2GGT: Fresh Saga.
The second version of the list took into account results from LVL UP EXPO 2016 to 2GGT: ZeRo Saga.
The third version of the list took into account results from Midwest Mayhem 6 to Sumabato 18.
The fourth edition of the list took into account results from Karisuma 14 to the 2GG Championship.
The fifth edition of the list took into account results from Umebura T.A.T. to CEO 2018.
The PGR100 took into account results from Apex 2015 to DreamHack Atlanta 2018.
