This would be fine, but it should work the way Tekken 7 does. Picking up a new character (even in Tekken) is way easier for someone who is above the casual level. What happened a lot in Tekken 6 and Tekken Tag 2 was that each character had their own rank, so you'd be starting out on a new character and just destroying lower ranked opponents. It probably wasn't fun for them to see someone with 0 wins and then get absolutely mopped by my bullshit day 1 Alisa/Lars team.
Once you reach a certain rank with one character, all other characters should be brought up a bit as well. Not to the rank your main is, but something above where a complete novice would start.
I doubt NRS will get this in depth with their ranking system, but this is how it should work.
You beat me to it. I've said it a hundred times now, but I'm gonna add on why I think Tekken's ranking is perfect for fighters for those unaware.
-Each character ranks individually.
-You're worst or unused character rank a "bracket" below your best character. I.E: If your best character is rank 15 all the lowest are moved up to rank 10.
-You rank only in close proximity to your rank in ranked matches. I.E: If your character is rank 15, the search only matches you against characters from rank 13-17.
-The closer the rank the more points you get to rank to the next level. I.E: Say each rank requires "8 rank points" to go to the next rank. If you are level 15, a ranked against another level 15 is worth 3 points, against a 14 or 16 is worth 2 points, and against a 13 or 17 is one point. This is also how you can lose points and be demoted a rank.
-You can rematch as many times as you like.
I am hoping, so hoping that MK11 pulls off something like this or have taken note and improved on it. I think they have an opportunity here to make the absolute best online experience and they have the team to do it so my fingers are crossed.
