Judging players solely on W/L record is a tenuous proposition at best. In my opinion, the biggest reason for this is that players improve drastically over time and an excessively poor record can be a direct result of a noob playing a bunch of games before he/she knew how to really play. Take me, for example. I didn't pick up injustice until late May, and as a relative fighting game noob (the only other fighting game I had ever taken seriously, in the least, was MK9), it took me a solid month of playing constantly (and putting in countless hours in the lab) before I could even be considered a "decent/solid" player. While I was leveling up and learning the basics, I was playing online and getting owned. I started something like 10-40 in my first 50 online matches. Since then, I am something along the lines of 150-70 (better than 2 to 1). So, my overall record is something like 167-117, but I'm probably a significantly better player than that record would seem to indicate. IMO, the much more reliable statistic to utilize when making a rash assessment of another online player's prowess is his/her "LEVEL", since that is a more direct reflection of overall match experience and committed time. And even then, you really never know how a player will perform until you play him/her.
