One is completely justified in that American players simply play more tournaments. For an objective ranking system , this is perfectly natural and desired. You want to get rated? You play. Simple.
The other is unjustified and represents a terrible flaw in the system. The fact that the American pools are pretty much a joke and the level of skill disparity between the top Americans and the locals is so high that American top rated players will be much more consistent, constantly place high, and because already highly rated players are placing high, their events will be given MORE points so they can inflate their already high ranking points.
In Japan, where literally everyone is good and pools are so hard many internationals come over and drown like in UHC, the system punishes these events by ignoring that the top players played in them and were beaten, it simply looks at the names and goes “Rokkun, never heard of him! Weight 5!” And then it tanks the whole tournament despite it being completely and utterly stacked.
Here’s another example - Twiggy. He’s considered the best or second best T-Hawk in the world…to get some idea of what kind of a player he is, here he is destroying Xian in one of those Topanga qualifier tournaments:
He also placed decently in multiple Topanga qualifiers…what is his weight? 4/10.
I’ll post what I posted previously:
Keep in mind that in the Topanga Osaka Qualifiers, the popular names like Momochi, Xian, etc didn’t even get top 8, they were beaten by the less popular players.
It is indeed a flaw, but usually not that pronounced as in this case. Top players usually place in the reported regions and thus count towards the weight. I realized it was not good for this tournament when inputting, but there were no results that reported further than top16.
I can then either invent some stuff to make sure top players are reported, or hope somebody else at some point reports in a better way and update it. I can however not go sherlocking the results myself, as there is a lot of work involved and I am already at my limits of what I can do in my spare time.
So sometimes it is not optimal. Most of the times it is pretty good. Currently pretty good is the best we get.
and yes I process all suggestions done here, it currently loses priority versus the Capcom Pro Tour reporting which is more relevant than standard rankings. Hope to do a clean-up after it
the help is because he don’t get his full nick and we both are from Colombia and i dont appear in the rank page, we also going to EVO and our places are 128, i get out my pool beating Wolfkrone for Winners i play whit fei long, can you help us to appear whit our country, characters in the rank page ?

Kubo’s profile (keep UMvC3 results for Kubo and move USF4 results into stormKUBO) I do not want to remind you again.
Could you possibly update the system so that under “main game”, it lists something like the most played game in the last 5 tournaments or something? So for example, taking Infiltration, it would show SFV because his last five tournaments were mostly (in fact all) SFV tournaments.
The problem is, again taking Infil as an example, it took him 28 tournaments in USFIV for his page to show USFIV as his “main game”. It showed that only for the last two tournaments he ever went to. Now, it’s going to take 29 tournaments for his profile to show SFV as his main game, despite the fact that he clearly mains SFV and doesn’t play USFIV any more.
