The 5th Yonko
So let me point out the OBVIOUS. EVERYONE is climbing the ladder and everyone will eventually be in the same rank. There is a "HOWEVER" here. Not everyone is going to climb the ladder at the same progression. For some their skill level will hold them back. For others it could be work, real life things so time is taken away. I'm writing this post/mini-guide for those who are struggling and want to climb faster.
The beautiful thing about Kombat League is that your fighting someone at the SAME if not lower/higher skill level hence another reason why the progression will take so long. And just for credibility:
Tip 1: Winning streak. The more you win the more points you rack up. And I'm talking about OVERALL. as you can see I'm sitting with 2017 and that's because I had long winning streaks.
Tip 2: Sandbag. I cannot stress this enough. Sandbag your opponent, make them believe you don't know the match up or the character. Do it smart.
Tip 3: Take your time entering the match, if you lose take your time with a mini break before the next round.
Tip 4: Analyze the breakdown. NRS implemented this new mechanic and you should abuse it to your knowledge. It's only available after round 1/round 2 if you lose.
Tip 5: Use an OFF-META character. I know this is hella extreme because their the top tier characters but hear me out. There is much more people here at the top ranks who know how to beat Scorps and Geras. (I climbed the ladder with Raiden and Skarlet so)
Tip 6: Following tip #5 use Shang Tsung. New character = unknown match-up.
Tip 7: FORFEIT. Yes lmfaooo this is an actual tip. Do not waste time your precious time. If you are fighting for 10 points and it's up against a Scrop just hit the forfeit. Trust me it's not worth it. And trust me there is no dishonor or disgrace to your character or you, if you do hit the button.
Tip 8: Going back to tip#2 "There is no knowledge that is not power" with Raiden I always make sure to check if they know they can duck Storm Cell. If they don't duck I abuse the hell out of that knowledge. This is the opposite of sandbaging. Find their weakness and use it against them.
These are my tips if any of you have anything to add feel free. I can honestly say Kombat League is VASTLY different from regular rank. This is a system guarantee to help become a better fighting game player.
