Ranked mode is on the way

[deⱯolverG]

Ranked mode just got announced at the arc world tour its coming in June. Tower is now a casual mode. All of the tower glazers need to suck it this game is gonna succeed and thrive when ranked comes. :3

I highly doubt adding a ranked system that should have existed at launch 4 years later is going to be bringing people back. SF6 is kinda just owning FGC rn

[iiisixstringiii]

Frame data and ranked coming!? This is the first I've heard of this news!
AND they're apparently doing like what SF6 does and each character gets their own rank when first playing them in Ranked is a godsend. I love that feature in SF6.

I started with DBFZ and it'll always be my favorite fighting game, but Strive is what I moved onto next and I love it so much. I can't wait for these updates!

Sadly, and probably too late considering the number of players who droped a long time ago, and the already harsh competition between FGs, who will get even worse with the Riot game.
But hey, better than never, I guess ?

Too late?
Doomer this is one of the top played fighting games in the world, the DLC has got it around 5,000 players. That is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ roof on fire popular for this genre.:cheffie::Dumpling:

World Tour hype+sales+DLC make those number not that impressive I think.
But don't get me wrong: Strive is on a healty player base currently, no arguing with that.
My negativity come from the fact that those basics features should have been implemented from the start, and imo we should not give to much props to dev's for just fixing the problems they caused in the first place, even if I those changes are vey welcome indeed.

I know there is a lot going on but on FGC charts it's still always SF6, T8, and then Guilty Gear, though to be fair Mortal Kombat would probably be third if they hadn't jacked up and split their player base between 1 and 11.

100 percent agree though that ♥♥♥♥ should have been in the game right away, but look what it took for us to get good rollback in games...fighting game developers are some stubborn people, lol.
Lets hope their next game (BlazBlue god willing ) has it from the start.

Also totally agree on the fact that it's crazy numbers for a Arc Sys' game considering they were pretty niche before. But I'm convinced that they could have done waaaay better if they didn't screw the pouch with the lobbys, the terrible ranking system, the hackerman and so on.
I mean, they had the perfect storm: a crazy and beautiful game with rollback, surfing on the success of FighterZ into pandemic time!

You can play XX right now and see how 'amazing' ranked mode is, how it 'saves' the game. Do I need to put more 'things' in quotes? Good.
"It'll be different", no it won't, it never is, they follow the same formula everytime.
"Just you wait it will", wait? Yes, wait. That is always the key word in strive. wait wait wait oh look something better is out...i'll wait over there.

How weird to compare Strive to a 17 years old niche game who is gently dying of old age, outside of it's most dedicated players...
Smart move, as always, friend... 👍🤣

It's also funny because XX (and literally every other fighting game) is objectively better with ranked matchmaking than it would be as the exact same game but without ranked matchmaking.

Regardless how one feels about Strive right now, it will be an objectively better game once it gets ranked matchmaking.

Frankly I think you should "Strive" to be a better person, with healthier mentalities and world views. Here you go, listen to these songs

Love the subhuman self (Millia Theme)
Necessary Discrepancy (Ram Theme)
Requiem (I-No Theme)
Mirror of the world (Baiken Theme)

I mean it's basically the same thing.

Not really, the tower is flawed with how small and vague its systems are. SF6 ranked is a much better and more popular system because its simple and gives you meaningful results and stats so you feel like you are actually improving. In strive once I got to floor 10 I realized all the real high tier players are just sitting in the parks lol

Are you referring to how SF6 shows your fight stats, like DI %, etc? If so, I don't think we can assume that Strive is adding that just because they're changing how ranked works. It would definitely be nice to have though.

But at its core, you're basically just substituting 'tower x', with 'gold', 'plat', etc. We need more information on what exactly is going to be changing before we can determine how different the new system is going to be.

Regardless, I hope the stations/lobbies remain an option for ranked play. I love the arcade/organic vibe to it, and it's usually faster than waiting on MM.

Tower and park will continue to exist. The ranked matchmaking mode will be similar to SF6's and will be added in, not replacing anything. So if you like the tower, you can continue enjoying it.
