Rival for rank up?

[Det]

How do you indicate how to beat your Rival?
How do I do this to rank up?

[Char Aznable]

It comes down to individual score which is a combination of all the other points you score in different categories. Do lots of damage, kill lots of enemy mobile suits, be the guy they spend the most time shooting at, etc. It's best to just keep playing Quick Matches to practice and you'll accidentally score some rival victories if you keep learning and improving.

Basically just outscore them, overall you'll eventually complete that if you just do your best and win matches in my experience.

[Chooon]

you just have to spam ranked matches. Eventually, you will get a rival win when your rival has a lower score.
as a newbie myself, it is hard for me to get a win unless my rival gets crushed by better player from my side.

only on casual and rating matched prob ranked too

[chaos]

rivals only appear in quick and rated matches. customs don't have rivals. So if you want to rank up, be ready to deal with the matchmaking issues.

[pseudo]

Only thing you can really do is just be your best self, do as good as you can, and pray that your rival isn't some cracked god.

Haveing high 2 to 3 of these
Rated/casual/clan match
Brawls do not give rivals

Invidiual score - overall points scored in match
Damage - as long as your not dealing 0 dmg or on environmental object/bases which count as 0
Assist - passive kills(inflict heavy dmg let Allie kill)
Pursuit score - flinching/staggering/interpreting a enemy engaged with a allie
Meele swinging, constant fire bazooka shots
Think a icon will flash so you'll know you earned it


Damage and pursuit score normally win out
You can always get out rivaled in top individual sometimes

Getting banged around or wasting time in a match you normally be wanting to do something

Why? You just got to do better than someone of similar rating to you on the enemy team.

Heck you can lose a match, but as long as you did better than that player, you still get similar rewards to a win.

Then again getting a higher rating also makes winning or losing even less relevant as it is more the bonuses gained from winning and beating your rival.

Then perhaps it is an individual issue? They are the person with the closest rating to you, so your performance should be similar, even more so than matchmaking of similar ranked players. If you can never win rival fights, perhaps you should play more rated matches to get to a skill level relevant to you and thus more accurate rivals.

Thing that occours to me is, what do you do if your in D rank and still faced with that seeming wall?

Won't matter to me, since I'll be rank capped by lack of ability. But there's going to be people that end up going from (say) C- back down to D+ trying to get rival wins.

At least you don't have to win the match to beat your rival as far as I can tell.
