Methodology
How we calculate the meta rankings.
BrawlRank aggregates tier lists from 10 different sources including pro players, content creators, and data-driven platforms. Each source rates brawlers from S (best) to F (worst). We assign numerical scores (S=6, A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, F=1), apply source weights based on recency and authority, then calculate a weighted average. The final tier is determined by these score thresholds: S >= 5.5, A >= 4.5, B >= 3.5, C >= 2.5, D >= 1.8, F < 1.8.
Source weights: KairosTime and SpenLC receive a 1.2× multiplier for competitive authority. HMBLE (0.9×) and Noff Ranked (0.8×) are slightly adjusted. Driffle (0.7×) and BrawlTime Votes (0.6×) receive lower weights as editorial or community-aggregated sources. All other sources are weighted at 1.0×.
