Can we finally agree this game's ranked system needs 2/3?

[spidey300]

Shit is long and draining. Not to mention the unfortunate circumstances like beating someone in a shitty connection who refuses to leave.

 

[CrimsonShadow]

‘We agree’ implies other people feel the same (and I don’t think they do).

3/5 is the standard, though. I’d rather play a 3-win set than a 2-win set for sure.

 

[Trini_Bwoi]

no I prefer 3/5

you can quit too you know if the connection is bad

 

[Sage Leviathan]

No. 3/5.

 

[John Grizzly]

I'd rather keep it at 3/5. I can't tell you how many times I've gone down 2-0 and figured out what my opponent was doing and turned it around.

Having said that, tons of scumbags just disconnect once I tie it up 2-2.

Online ranked sucks for a number of reasons.

 

[mastermalone]

The 3/5 is the way to go. I've ran back 0-2 sets a number of times. This format allows you to adapt.

 

[Name v.5.0]

Dude....Why?

I can't tell you how many times I go down 0-2 only to get the full download on my opponent and then come back and win the next 3 games.

 

[PLAYING TO WIN]

it really should be 2/3 until the pro tour changes it. it should mirror the pro tour.

 

[Vslayer]

Matches are pretty quick in this game, and 2/3 would be insanity, as we saw in CB. And sometimes it takes a game or two to reduce stress and whatnot.

 

[FonicSox]

I prefer 2/3. 3/5 is alright, but it does feel draining when your opponent is clearly outmatched and you can just feel how badly they want out.

People citing situations where they've gone down 0/2 and then won 3 straight is neither here nor there. I've gone 0-3 to 0-5 in Kasuals and then won 10 consecutive games. At that point why 3/5 and not first to 10? The more matches you play the better chance you have of the superior player adapting and coming out on top, no? Rhetorical question, I realize there are time constraints in tournaments and not everyone has all day, but my point is 2/3 is more than enough in ranked. In tournament 3/5 might make sense, though I like consistency - but meh.

 

[Evil Canadian]

3/5 is better

 

[gitblame]

It should be FT10 and winner switches character.

 

[Juggs]

Ft3 is perfect. I have reverse OCV’d SO many times in ranked. Seriously, I win being down 0-2 very consistently. It takes me 2 games to adapt to the lag and to my opponent.

Although, it definitely should reflect the pro series rules. Since tournaments until top 8 are ft2, ranked should be as well, imo.

 

[FonicSox]

It should be FT10 and winner switches character.

Throwing in "winner switches character" just sounds like you're not sure how to approach my point and hope adding an absurd suggestion which I did not make myself will sufficiently make what I did say seem ridiculous.

I see you.

 

[kcd117]

3/5 is better but there is no reason for it to be 3/5 if pro tour standard is 2/3.

 

[omooba]

i think it should mirror the pro tour, that said i also think the pro tour should be 3/5

 

[FonicSox]

3/5 is better but there is no reason for it to be 3/5 if pro tour standard is 2/3.

Define "better."

 

[kcd117]

Define "better."

The better player is more likely to win in a 3/5 setting.

Bold of you to assume I read anything more than OP post before shitposting.

I prefer 2/3. 3/5 is alright, but it does feel draining when your opponent is clearly outmatched and you can just feel how badly they want out.

But the opponent doesn't have to stay. The loser has the option to leave after every match and just take the L

 

[KeyserSoze]

Define "better."

3 our of 5 is a larger sample size. Hence, from a purely statistical perspective, 3 out of 5 is a better estimate for who the better player is.

 

[FonicSox]

The better player is more likely to win in a 3/5 setting.

Then logically 4/7 would be even better than 3/5.

The real solution is to block all the idiots on their neighbors wifi trying to play fighting games.

Wayyy too many bad connections seeping thru the cracks.

The sheer number of players on WiFi was actually shocking to me. Anyone intending to take a fighting game seriously enough to play online should know better. Legit 90% of my matches are against WiFi warriors. Must be Starbucks employees on their lunch breaks.

Lol no
