from the home of coca-cola, i'm not referring to s
I’ll say this about the ranks

There are less ranks than it was in 7, and on top of that, it’s easier to rank up now with booster points , best of 3 and easy to get your rank back after you get demoted

I think most people are +2,3 ranks higher than what they should actually should be

Like in 7, it was a painful experience of me getting to tekken king, took me legit years, I couldn’t even dream of tekken God….most nikkaz in tekken king now I play now are ultra ass save for a few.

The God of Destruction rank should be split into 4 more ranks in my opinion cuz some of them nikkaz is sorry to
It was hard AF to rank up to god in T7 ESPECIALLY if you weren't using a dlc character where you're always at a disadvantage cause t7 was pay to win basically

The dumb down of this game was very subtle and happened over years and multiple installments it damn sure wasn't over night. it wouldn't even be noticeable to someone new to the franchise or who came in around t7... The shyt actually dumbed me down as a player too, its more than me just getting older. in this tekken getting to the gold ranks means you 50-50d your way through the ranks a little better than others. and yes it gets harder the higher get up there because its more pro players and tier whores. its especially nasty once you hit Tekken God especially if you got there within that 1st 3 to 5 months.. The really good players are DEEP into God of Destruction Ranks with 250k points and higher

but you should feel good if you made it to gold ranks as a new player and of course it takes effort but I didn't have an enjoyable experience ranking with my main.. I'm almost embarrased at the way I had to play and the amount of cheese I had to use to get Asuka to God of destruction :scusthov: this game forces you to play like a damn scrub and thats really my beef. Scrub play has been rewarded and turned into the meta.. I promise you this game and t7 was designed to help sorry nikkas and new people to the franchise to be able to compete with experienced players especially in ranked you just had to have really been around for awhile to see the full scope.. (speaking of ranked, This is the only rank system I have ever seen where when you get a demotion, the very next match is a promotion :dead: you lose your demotion match and win the promo match and you get pushed way farther in rank than you would if you had won your demo match)

man I want to argue but seeing what ASW did to strive from XRD I think I can at least empathize what you saying on a personal level. I can't even watch that game its so fukking ass to me. I thought XRD was a near perfect title and I had wayyyy more success in umvc but I enjoyed my journey with XRD just as much cuz that was a beautiful game to improve in.

I do think its some super scrubby shyt in this game but every so often I run into one of them demons who just completely neuters my whole shyt and it didn't matter what 50/50 I have cuz crodie is not even in the position for it to happen and I realize this shyt def takes some real skill to get there. Its some super head ass shyt too though. Jin and Yoshi are public enemy one to me. Nina probably would be too but that bytch is rare for me

Played a few sets right now and I can't even recognize this game. Tekken was always my favourite fighter but it's too far gone now. 6 was really the beginning of the end.
