I don’t really understand this system. I don’t understand why they wouldn’t just use a standard elo system, which is sort of what this does, but not quite. I think it’s probably still way too early to say what is average, simple because in this system everyone starts at 0 and builds up from there. If it were elo, then by definition average is supposed to be 1500. In this system, who knows what rank they intend to be average.
I started playing ranked today and I won 12 straight which got me into bronze then i started to fight straight super bronze and all types of gimmicks some players lagged some players leave. Sometimes I felt like I could not do my links other times it was crisp. I feel like since playing super bronze players I started jumping way to much. People mash jab after block strings on defense I feel like I’m losing. I fell to rookie and beat everyone back to bronze the skill in bronze --> super bronze is all over the place. I got hands layed on me by some people in super bronze and made me dizzy but then i’ve double perfect others playing Most of my fights are people in super bronze but i’m only 500points in bronze they are over 1k points. I don’t feel like a horrible player but what if I am. This game is completely different form 4 in many ways. I was a 3k is player in 4 touching 4k sometimes. I mained dudley
The ranks kind of confuse me as well, I fought a couple guys that weren’t even ranked and earned an award that something to the extent of fight better competition… I CAN’T CHOOSE WHO I WANT TO FIGHT IN ONLINE RANKED!!! For the life of me I am confused.
This post speculates that there may be many more beyond platinum. And if you look at SF4 there was grandmaster at 30k bp
There was also a cross counter tv video welcoming back Combofiend and Mike Ross asked what the highest rank / league was. Combofiend said nobody had reached the highest and suggested Mike Ross grind it out and be the first to reach the highest.
Goodness. Its going to be a grind to get those higher levels. The game needs to mature more so more people are higher up so they arent getting 1LP win matches. Thats insane.
Its the same in SF4 though.
I want it to mature aswell so people will be less likely to ragequit. There is a trophy on PS4 for reaching gold league so I have a feeling that alot of people are ragequitting to try to get that trophy. Once the average player is gold rank the ragequits won’t be as prevailant (I hope).
More LPs seem to enter the game than leave it, so people should on average have more LPs over time.
I stopped playing ranked after getting gold and that was some days ago. Since then I’ve gone from like rank 900 down to like rank 1500 while I’ve been playing casuals. More people are entering the circuit and they’re getting more points than they lose. I noticed when I won against higher ranked people than myself/lost to lower ranked people that either it would b equal (Like I lose 65 they gain 65) or skewed (I beat someone higher, I gain 85, they lose 75).
