Why are there so many smurfs?

[DeadZeus]

My last 10 matches have been against 10 different ppl, in RANKED. And EVERYTIME they have "10 total matches". And EVERYTIME they can do perfect rejump combo's perfect assist combo's, you name it...

It's very annoying and impossible to get better at the game when the game is full of pathetic smurfs like this... I dno what fun they gain out of beating newbies but it's getting very annoying.

Almost enough to make me wanna drop the game... How can i improve?? And Why can't you smurfs just stick with your main account?

Statisticly speaking there should be many smurfs reading this so explain your thought process to me? Thank!

Thats cos ppl made new burner accounts to avoid ban hammer for ragequits lol.
Also i smell "git gud" + "you shouldnmt play this game" incoming.
It happens every time anyone makes topic bout how ranked is broken

You just started the "git gud" movement hehehehehe

Smurfs happen when players want an account is as many wins as possible... and "utopically speaking" an accound with no loss at all.
Probably because its the only moment they feel victorious in life.

Sigh, and everytime the fight is over, the next fight is the same smurf AGAIN 5 times in a row...

Guess i'll have to quit the game since i'm not able to actually play it... Can't get gud when ur essentially a toddler vs a professional football player everytime.

How is there only 1 player playing online in Europe lmao?

If you are a low enough rank that you believe smurfs are rampant, you are not a high enough rank to actually know what a good player looks like (not that being a high rank even makes you a good player). Spend time in training mode, learn how to block, how to hit confirm, and how to extend with assists. Stop up teching every single wake up. Stop reflecting immediately on wakeup. Stop guard cancelling quick normals. Stop complaining.

This is the last type of topics anyone should write 'git gud' and alike. Smurfs are just dirtbags with no respect or care who don't let people learn from playing in ranked which is exactly where you are supposed to start online pvp after grinding alot of training if you're all alone, can't do anything about it. Take the L, go to replays via player list and mark 'em so everytime they appear, their name will be red, so don't agree to fight. My advice would be as soon as you hit Demon rank, go do ring matches. Not a great time to be playing ranked for the very below average player. Maybe even seartch the forum for discord groups for noobs

It is less of a "git gud" moment and more of a

moment.

The vast majority of players are NOT smurfs. Just because someone is better than you does NOT make them a smurf. Just because you get blown up by a basic meaty set up every time doesn't make the other player a god, you just have to stop getting hit meaty. Try any other fighting game and the results are the same. To ELY5, One player has to win and will move up very quickly if he continues to do so. One player must also lose and will stay at his rank longer, giving that player time to learn from their short comings in order to progress to a higher rank. So, I guess the real take away is "git gud."

There a lot possibility,
1. people that rage quit and bought the game again.
2. They are but not smurf # played on another platform ex: had it on ps4 and wants to play with friends on pc and he bought it.
3. He watched a lot of video and did lot of training in training room. (i know a friend that was always into training room but never really did matches and when he got online againt players he was pretty good with his combos.
I'm sure there could be even more but those are my main points. or maybe he is just too good at the game we never know lel
Have a nice day or night.
PS:to be honest i never really took time to do ranked and normally i fight with friends that are ssj3, majin level. Maybe its his case.
(those are just opinions and hypothesis)

had the same problem. I stopped encountering smurfs when i got to Android rank and higher, they trynna beat up the worst of the worst and as soon as they start to rank up they lose intentionally to clip noobs once again

You make family account, like for an kid.

[Shoepots]

I'd really see some clips of the matches between OP and these "Smurfs". There probably were a few real smurfs, but I'm going to need more than just text before deciding whether they're really smurfs or if some of them were also new, but they're just better than you.

[Gnomes]

game been out for years, just cause you see no games on the guys account doesnt really mean anything honestly

He´s right because i created a "family" account too and when i started playing rank with a new team i faced alot of smurfs with perfect combis etc.

My main acc is at ss rose not that high but its ok and my "family account" this here is at ssj3

The problem is you can create up to 5 Family Accounts and you start always fresh.

And i think the main reason people smurf is because they want to try a new Teams like i am and dont want a sweatfest at ranked, dont tell me "you can play public" yes you can if youre lucky enough to find a ringmatch which gives you the chance to practice. Most of the ringmatches are locked and if not you face total noobs or total pros.
I dont want to spend hours of hours in the lab just to go ranked and get a*sfked because we all know lab and a real match are different so i try my team at noobs and go higher and higher until i feel confident enough to play on my main.

thats how it is and im honest with you.
But if you just create a smurf account to bully noobs youre are horrobile person.

And yeah sorry for my bad english lol

i guess my account on here would be a smurf as ive played the game on other platforms but i just got in on steam a few days ago
