why is Rank so bad?

[DK|Radau]

after lots of KOF, and every one had a super bad rank mode, how is this possible? when you look the SF6 or T8, you can clearly what and how they succeed Rank mode but I'm still shocked SNK's vow to make rank mode so bad. This is intentional. I have 1600pts but I meet 3500+pts players or 500pts players.

It’s phase 0 and they already said phase 1 will have reworked matchmaking.

Also FF don’t have as many players as SF6. My experience is better though as in SF6 I get looooong queues followed by same 2-4 people over and over again. Prefer this over that, personally.

everything can be fixed later indeed but releasing a game like rock is another thing. day1 sf6 rank did work perfectly because they learnt the lessons from SF5 in a hard way. For now, for only Rank mode, I can't see any "we did it" features.
If the game was only played under casual mode, all the old kofs or the last 3 GG games would break sales records, the number of active players would be very good, but it is not like that. Rock-solid Rank mode is super important.
I repeated this exactly when KOF15 came out and a handful of diehard hooligan KOF players were saying “no need rank mode”, then the same handful played the game for years with only themselves lol. the same thing could happen to FF.

Not sure why you made your topic then and what response you expect lmao

Also kofxv died because of broken matchmaking at launch, it’s funny when people use it as an excuse with whatever made up reason to confirm their narrative

It’s phase 0, game not even one week old, ranked is ridiculous ask. As I said SF6 had like 50k players on launch or so Steam alone..

it is ok to be lowiq person dude, you deserve to reply at here, steam loves ya too.. but when you reply to a topic is about "I didn't like the release version of this product because of..." , think 12 times (not 2) what the f r you talking about but of course, if you can ^^
