What online ranking system in Smash 4 shows how many players someone has outscored?

The Smash 4 online ranking system that shows how many players someone has outscored is Global Smash Power.

Global Smash Power, usually abbreviated GSP, was introduced in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. Rather than displaying a conventional position such as “rank 12,345,” it represents the number of players worldwide whom a player has outperformed in a particular ranking context. A higher number is therefore better, even though the name sounds like a general measure of strength.

The system can be confused with Elite Smash, but Elite Smash is a status or matchmaking tier in later Smash usage, not the name of the underlying ranking metric. “Battle Points” and “Smash Rank” are not the official names used for Smash 4's system.

GSP was also notable because it could be attached to individual modes or activities rather than functioning as one universal tournament ranking. It was designed for online comparison and matchmaking, not as an authoritative measure of competitive players' skill. Tournament rankings and community power rankings remain separate systems.
