Master rank… easy to get to…..

[emopeanut1352]

So, I’ve been playing since release. I’ve come to realize I’m so tired of hearing people say it’s easy to get to master rank. I’m a plat1 gief. What are some of your woes? What are you tired of hearing?

you only need 40% W/L to get to master, it's just a time investment if you are competent at the game

Yes that’s a good one. Playing gief with a 47%-ish w/l I’m just now plat1. I have like 200 hours invested so far lol.

Your mistake was placing lower than diamond, but yes you slowly trend upwards even with slightly negative W/L

Gief is low on the list. Most match ups are hard for him. I’m no snake eyes or itizan. Who the hell places diamond after not touching online SF since sf4 lol? there’s only 29042 people in masters.

I don't really see what that has to do with anything, that's your personal situation, Gief also does have good matchups against fairly popular chars online I just think his kit is more trouble than it's worth.

That's alot for the highest rank in the game month 2, after all these years SFV doesn't have anywhere near this amount in master.

If you enjoy the game and your character and you don't mind where you are placed then does it really matter that some people can place into diamond and fail upwards?

I don't like when people whine that they can't get into masters because they are playing Gief.

Who said I’m whining, I merely said I don’t like hearing it’s it’s easy to get to masters lol. Did I say I hate the climb? Hate the grind? No…no I did not. I like playing gief. Now kindly ♥♥♥♥ off with your condescending attitude.

Brother when I said "yeah you can be pretty mediocre and you will eventually get to masters" your response was "Gief is bad, I'm not a pro player, I barely even play fighting games, there are more players in masters than there are currently playing sf6 on steam" instead of accept the fact being able to get into masters with a bad W/L means it has nothing to do with difficulty and everything to do with time because you think somehow this fact reflects poorly on you.

It’s a number of characters when some people have mulptiple characters. There are about 23000 people in Master.

"What are you tired of hearing?" Okay, lets answer that.

- "Master rank is easy to get to"
- "Ranks dont mean anything", "Rank system sucks" etc.
- "Skill"
- "50% Winrate"
- "Modern"
- "Scrub"
- "Character"
- "Macros"
- "Cheating"
- "Controller"
- "Pad"
- "Stick"
- "Main"
- "Honest"
- "Respect"
- "Running away"
- "Spamming"
- "Pressing buttons"
- "Random"
- "WHY DID HE DO THAT, THAT WAS SO STUPID AND RANDOM!" (when streamer gets KOed)
- "Pro players dont care about ranked, they dont play seriously there. They only play seriously in tournaments."

Hmm..thats about it :)

if we average that you get 55 points per win and 40 points per loss you need over 14K matches at 43% consistent winrate to get from Plat 1 to Master.

somewhere above between 42.10% and 42.11% is the lowest winrate with that point distribution that leads to a positive point outcome and it requires over million matches to reach from Plat 1 to Master.

This nonsense that any scrub who's bad at the game can eventually just get to masters rank if they play long enough is utter nonsense. Let's also remember that to keep a steady winrate as you progress through higher ranks you actually need to keep improving. If you don't improve you'll just start losing more because the players you keep meeting as you climb will also be better, which will lower your winrate.

IF you don't put in the work to actually practice the game and gain more knowledge you will not be getting to masters, ever.

I want to see those people hard stuck in plat1 winning 42% of games against diamonds5 and Masters. Must be so easy /s
