Upstate Melee’s First Power Rankings of the Modern Era

After a lot of work by our panelists and one hell of a great year by all our competitors, we’re happy to reveal the 2024 Upstate Melee PR!

2024 was the most integrated our scene has ever been, and for the first time our active and diaspora players are made a huge splash on the 2024 SSBM rank with Cody, Jmook, Zanya, BING, Agent, and OG Kid all making it.
