Serious question. Why are celestial players allowed to play on floor 10?

[Max Belmont]

No seriously, why is smurfing an actual feature in the game? The tower is already an horrible idea and for some reason the best players even have the option to play with people far worse than them?

Permanent celestial status? I'd love to exchange the access to floor 10 for that. That'll make me love the tower system even more.

Because a lot of them fraud their way in, or get lucky, then discover to their horror that they can't actually win a single match up there, and if they couldn't sneak back to floor 10, they'd simply stop playing for a month. They're usually tilted and easy wins.

[Max Belmont]

Oh cool so it's meant to reward cheating, sounds smart.

Ranking in strive is a bad joke. Up to rank 9 there are noobs and players not taking the game seriously for a while, level 10 is where most players deserve to be because they were not lucky enough to get celestial rank before. And in celestial floor there should be at least other 10 tiers.

sometimes celestial is empty or park only has low level. additionally some lvl10s do have people kind enough to practice on floor10. it's not that bad

I like it it gives me a chance to face really good opponents who will punish my weakpoints and let less ♥♥♥♥ slide in general. Losing can aid you in reaching greater heights.

Sometimes there's no one in heaven or every is doin a set with someone so you pop in floor 10. Don't you want to fight the strongest opponent possible? Here I thought I was doing floor 10 a favor

The problem is that celestial floor is not as linear as the other floors. You're mostly winning in f9? go to f10. Simple as that. The problem is that celestial is filled with everything from people who are "pretty good" to literal EVO champions. The skill ceiling is astronomical in this game. You could be a level 90 Bridget with 70 hours fighting against a level 2000 Ky with 1800 hours playtime who shreds you to bits in 30 seconds on celestial. The Bridget main would obviously feel more comfortable playing in f10 than celestial where she gets whooped nonstop by people who are canidates for world championships.

If you want to get better, fight better players. What's the point of trying to get better if you're complaining about higher level players playing you? If you're not trying to get better, then don't play anymore.

You have literally nothing to lose. At least it's not like in a physical arcade where you have to spend quarters/dollars/yen.

People these days, I swear.

This is perfect, but isn't unusual that "above the average" players doesn't even try to make a match interesting for other players.

I'm just a mediocre player right now, but when I see a beginner I at least try to play in a way not to destroy him, neither to be a braindead bot. I don't make some moves, try to win without running, or jumping, or go for a mirror match to show some stuff their character can do, but at least I try to make the match enjoyable for me, and hopefully for the opponent.

Currently isn't hard to see celestial players smurfing around, playing with their buttocks the first match, then just unleashing hell in the other matches, and dropping the pad from time to time. No one learns nothing doing that.
