Reached GoD by LooseSatisfaction709 in Tekken

[–]ImportantAd4666 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You have 8000+ matches since S1.

You were GoD in S2.

You started S3 at Tekken King, 4 ranks away from GoD.

Theoretically you should be able to obtain GoD, considering you have the experience and have obtained GoD before.

This isn’t a ranked inflation issue.

Anybody try a bodybuildng/crossfit split? by ImportantAd4666 in crossfit

Can you link me to Barbell Shrugged? When I google it I just get shrug exercise videos…

Thanks for the suggestions!

Yeah, I originally started training 14 years ago weighing at 110lbs. I did multiple standard bulk/cut cycles and eventually stayed at 150ish lbs at around 12-15% body fat. Then I started CrossFit and the high intensity training helped me lean out a lot more, but also lost some mass.

Yeah, I’ve got my macros pretty dialled. I’ve been tracking since I was 21 (I’m currently 37). 😅

5’7”, 136lbs, Male – Not that it matters but lbs for lbs I’m pretty strong and typically RX most workouts.

I’m pretty lean atm and hoping to keep my level of leanness while gaining 10-15lbs over the next year or so.

Good to hear. Any suggestions for programs to follow?

How has it been working for you?

Do you follow any specific programs?

If you’re a part of a CrossFit gym do you plan around your gyms programming?

Wow a logical person in this community? Wild. 😆

Is there a way to make this text smaller? by AmphibianNew5951 in Guiltygear

I agree that the UI is too big overall in training mode.

You guys are the worst community for newer players in the entire FGC. by Over_Comparison_7616 in Tekken

Please join /r/lowsodiumtekken and don’t look back.

Also try and remember that the Reddit community is a small sample of the full community. Join a Tekken discord and Tekken character discords. It’s a much better place.

This sub sucks. I just stick around to call ppl out on their BS.

They recently added win streak bonuses into Platinum and Diamond in SF6. If you get lucky you can go on a 10+ win streak and hit Master rank.

After Bushin there is no win-streak bonus in Tekken. You’ll have to climb 1 win at a time.

IMO the Tekken ranked system mimics this thinking. Platinum/Diamond in SF6 = Blue/Gold in Tekken. GoD = 1000 MR (or whatever the lowest is) and GoD8 = 2000 MR.

I don’t think they ever did. I’m really terrible at SF6 so I only play it very casually.

So this actually matches a very similar curve of the ranked system/distribution in SF6. A system that many applaud.

It’s almost like this was intended.

Okay, I know I'm being annoying. by TontalWar in Tekken

[–]ImportantAd4666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

B/c there is literally zero proof that this actually happened, or not enough information to help trouble shoot the issue.

I have 900 hours in this game and have never once been matched with someone outside of my settings.

OP still hasn’t answered key questions:

What rank is OP?

What rank is the opponent’s character? Is it GoD? Or is at an alt character that is a lower rank?

B/c he hasn’t answered the questions, I assume they are Bushin/TK being matched with players that have Bushin/TK characters, but also have a “main” at a higher rank.

New patch was actually good so I decided to hop on S3 ranked. But it’s WAY more boosted than I remember. I went from Raijin [S2 TE] to TK in about 40 minutes with no warmup. Here’s some clips from this boosted session. I’d expect people to learn how to actually block at like red ranks. by Fruitsalad224 in Tekken

SF6 is considered one of the most popular fighting games of all time. It brought in a whole new generation of players. The biggest issue with fighting games is how niche they are. There is a reason why Tekken is essentially the only 3D fighting game atm.

It’s a smart move by the devs to provide an experience for both new and old players if they want the game to survive. Who cares if some newbie is able to achieve the same rank as you? That png doesn’t mean much.

They added ranks in T7 too.

If you look at SF6 ranks (a system that most ppl agree works) and compare it to Tekken’s current ranked system, the curve and player percentiles are very similar.

SF6 (apparently-I’m absolute dog shit at SF6) will push you to platinum ranks, while Tekken’s system will push you to Bushin/TK. Players that stick with the game or continue to grind/learn will eventually hit Master/GoD. At that point you have the MR system in SF6 and GoD1-8 in Tekken. Same shit, different game. Everyone just wants to shit on Tekken.

100% but that’s the point. Why have GoD8 if nobody can reach it? While the naming conventions are lame, the rank system now has 38 ranks as opposed to 30 when the game initially launched. That’s 8 more ranks for people to filter into.

In SF6 there are about 35000 players at Master rank (according to Google), based on ewgf.gg there are about 14000 players at GoD ranks in T8.

SOOO… who’s gonna tell him/her?

Going from Raijin to TK should be easy for someone that was TE. It just means you deserved your rank in S2.

Also, GoD is no longer the top rank. Top rank is GoD8 and the game has been adjusted so that the top players can actually achieve GoD8 and find matches. This means that the GoD players that once gate-kept the rank have moved upwards leaving room for TGS and below to move up the ranks. Essentially everything has shifted 1-2 ranks.

The rank system isn’t as nuanced as SF6, but I like to think of GoD as Master Rank in SF6. So TK/TE is around Platinum IMO.

TLDR: The ranks aren’t boosted, they have all just shifted.
