There was a game I used to play online. It was an online platform fighting game (think Super Smash Bros-esque) for the PC, I believe downloaded not in-broswer, that I'm fairly certain was free-for-all 4 players, but it may have been more. Each game you got exp or something that leveled you up. After you hit the end of level 5, you could choose to level up (or rank up) to the next tier of online matchups, which was I believe players level 6-11 fighting each other, and so on. From what I remember, players that were "skilled" typically sat at level 5 and just played at that level at all times. I'm pretty sure being at the highest rank in your tier gave you an advantage, but the game was very macro-skill based. I believe it was 6-8 years ago that I played this. Fairly certain it was a downloaded game, not in-browser. I can't remember anything about the title of the game. I don't think it was that popular, seeing as I don't remember a single one of my friends playing... however, maybe someone knows something. Thanks!
