LumiRank 2024.2

The LumiRank 2024.2 was a power ranking that listed the world's best Super Smash Bros. Ultimate smashers for the second half of 2024. 
==Methodology==
:See also: LumiRank#General methodology
The regional seat concept was refined in this season; for a region to be considered a "regional seat", it must meet the following criteria:
*For regions in the United States and Japan, it will be based off whether the region's top five players score an average rank of 100 or more, with the ranking being based off the LumiRank 2023 North America and LumiRank 2023 Japan, respectively.
*For regions in Europe, it will be based off whether the region's top five players score an average rank of 50 or more, with the ranking being based off the LumiRank 2023 Europe
*For regions in Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America, they must have multiple representatives on their respective LumiRank 2023 regional rankings.
*For other regions, it will be based off players in the top spots of their unpublished regional rankings.
Several adjustments were also made to the player points system, including the toning down of invitational values and players who make the top 100 or the top 100 honorable mentions list no longer counting for regional rankings, with the next eligible players replacing them. In addition, following controversies with the inclusion of on the 2024.1 season TTS and the initial inclusions of the pre- invitationals and on this season's TTS, eligibility requirements for pre-major invitationals were changed to match the eligibility requirements for pre-major locals. Finally, with the advent of the CSRP, tournaments which featured players on the highest level of the CSRP restricted list were disbarred from the rankings.
The ranking requirements for players initially was the same as the previous season. However, following the postponement of some large events into the next season, the requirements were loosened a bit: although players are still required to attend four events in order to qualify for the rankings, players only had to attend at least one B+-tier event or higher, while one of said four events could be an invitational, though only the highest-tiered invitational is factored in.

Although Raarchyor is from Morocco and is ranked with Morocco's flag, he currently resides in France. 
===Honorable mentions===
With the exception of , players ranked as "honorable mentions" did not reach the attendance requirement to be ranked.
====Top 50====
*: Dabuz initially planned on attending just enough events to not meet the attendance requirements; however, the changes to the requirements mid-season meant that Dabuz had inadvertently attended enough to qualify. As such, the LumiRank team treated it as a special circumstance and allowed him to opt out.
*: Lea technically missed out on being a Top 50 HM, but was grouped with them anyway due to only being 0.04 points behind #50.

==Character representation==
The character representation was determined by how many times a character won a game during the LumiRank 2024.2 season. The game had to take place in top 64 at an S-tier, top 32 at an A-tier, top 16 at a B-tier, or top 8 at a C-tier in order to count. Tiebreakers were determined by how many games were won with the character being a player's main vs the character being a player's secondary.
