Too many ranks. At least it's not like Tekken, which is a plus.

Anyway. Imagine if we only had bronze, silver and gold.

These are leagues, and each league has 5 ranks inside.

I'm ranked Silver. I took a beating yesterday from a guy using Ryu. I mean it it though....he kicked the shat out of me. If he's Silver ranked and done that then Gold must be a slaughterhouse.

i would say its a minus since more ranks provide a better matchmaking but you forget one thing and that is that each rank and sub ranks which just dont have fancy names.

the whole ranking and placing system makes ranked pointless anyway, especially when they really reset it at one point.

feel weird to be in the top 3% when I'm not even that good

Not sure how you are getting the stats information from the page given.

I was a low silver in V and fell to ultra bronze a lot. But in 6 they put me in gold rank. wtf

[Marigold]

No wonder I play a lot of the same people even in Platinum

There's a lot more players to compete with now than in V. You're probably a lot better than you realized because of all that time you spent playing V against the same people who were also improving against you.

as it stands, LP isnt a good qualifier of skill. I've gotten to diamond 5 and im about to hit master and im ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I am winning less than half of my matches. There are players that were beating me in diamond 2, they just arent master because they dont have as much time to grind as I do. This ranking system is just completely dogwater

EDIT: I should mention i was hardstuck gold in SF5.

Gold is the first real wall to break through for players, where the game starts gathering up those who were good enough to get past the worst cheese spam and get some basic bread and butters going, but still in need of match-up knowledge and polishing fundamentals, etc etc, but can't downrank while doing so.

Then Plat becomes the hard wall where you get those who get past the first wall and have actually attained some skill, match-up knowledge and fundamentals to the point where they win enough not to downrank even during tilt days.

I do slightly worry that the downrank protection of Gold is going to end up similar to Strive where Floor 10 became this massively bloated place full of people of completely inconsistent skill levels, from the ones lucking out a bit with streaks through real hard monsters that just couldn't be bothered with the Celestial challenge that month.

Guess we'll see, but I suppose the amount of ranks above Gold 1 will alleviate that quite a bit.

Only 8 ranks! Interesting.
