Let's Talk: What's Your Reason For Climbing Ranks

[C.C. 折オリ枝 の 夫]

So, I thought it'd be an interesting discussion, as everyone has a reason to climb, otherwise they wouldn't be in ranked at all, so what's your reason?

For me personally, it's pretty simple. If I'm a certain rank, and this son of a nice lady is at the same rank as me, and the guy is bad, that's no bueno, the rank is worthless, so I need to trash some trash in ranked and climb higher.

Which I need to pick up my Alisa again and aim for Tekken Emperor, if not Tekken God just for safe measure, at least until those ranks are worthless as well and I need to climb even higher.

For the most part, I play solely for the sake of playing better over time, and I plan to attend offline events much more often.
It’s not that I don’t care about the rank itself, though, but I don't force myself to worry about it too much. Ranked is a great mode for learning matchups, people are trying to optimize their flowcharts here and they sorta seem to have something to lose, so learning to defend against everything that is thrown at you in ranked is very useful. On top of everything else, now there is also forced bo3 in the mode - it makes you get used to tournament conditions.

Are you talking about me?
I didn’t know that being bad at a game can be an inspiration for others to get better, haha.
In such case I will continue to fool around and suck at the game to remain a beacon showing worthless ranks to run away from :)

This.

It's almost an impossible mission to find someone similar, though. You either mop the floor with someone else or you get mopped, yourself. Wack.

You just set yourself a challenge - to reach a certain rank.

The only reason I stick to ranked mostly is because unranked players are noticably worse.

[ShadowSplit]

Mostly to face stronger players who wish to play and not just win. I mean this with casual matchmaking as you wouldn't be getting stronger while you are at low ranks (you might, but most of the time you won't)

I stop at Red Ranks then learn another character.
The auto leveling of all the characters I never play as kills the fun of trying to learn them so I rather hold back then have every character autoranked past my skill with them

I wanted to climb to a point where the matches became consistently challenging, and then focus on improving my skills in quick play. First tekken game I'm really getting into, but it felt like the right call. I get good matches in either queue now.

There's something fun for me about watching the points tick up and down, going on streaks for big point boosts. It just adds a little sense of progression. Ranked is otherwise meaningless in pretty much any fighting game, tournament play makes it all pretty irrelevant.

I have a gambling problem! People who call me a pinheaded son of an ice cream maker is music to my ears when and if I manage a win.
