Stop the nonsense arguing guys. No one who posted in this thread is any position to be causing this much trouble.
The best win ratios of non-boosting players, and players who have a significant number of games (over 750 ranked matches) are:
1. Moe30w 926/19 - 97.9% win ratio
2. EWAShock 907/30 - 96.6% win ratio
3. Crazy Domincan 820/45 - 94.5% win ratio
4. ThrowerChicago 908/75 - 91.7% win ratio
5. ChiGameCuB 699/88 - 87.4% win ratio
Everyone there is in the top 25 on the ranked board. 3 of those players are from Chicago.
The next person worth mentioning would be Konqrr, who is ranked #29, but has less than 500 ranked matches, at 383/101. That's a win ratio of 73.6% and if you noticed, the difference in W/L ratio increases significantly. In MK, only 0.1% of players are actually good. It is my hope to increase that to 1% over time, and I think it is happening, and a lot of it has to do with this site, and the amount of help and practice everyone gives vs eachother, constantly increasing ability.
Generalized accumulative win loss counts are important because you don't know who they are against, it's against various players, characters, netplay situations. It shows how the player does overall online. In this situation, you need a LOT of matches to work with. It's like taking polls, the more people, the more accurate a ratio/statistic will be.
As I am going through the list, there are a couple players whom I have no idea who they are, but at rank #60 is AUGNICE who is 826 and 399. This is the next player who sticks out on the list in terms of pure ranked match count. That's a lot of matches, it's a good idea of how good he is, but because he's ranked 60, you have to take into account that he might have only beaten a high percentage of bad players, or lost to a few bad ones here and there. In any event, that's a W/L ratio of 51.6%. That's a HUGE drop, but then a couple notches down we have Kaisers Curse, who is 756 and 159. This isn't a bad ratio of 78.9% but high loss count hurts his overall rank, albeit in the top .04% of players.
At this point, it's not worth even going through anymore except intentionally getting to Lex. He has a win ratio of 83.2% at 1132 and 190. Take into account his aversion to netplay and no stick for at least 95% of that time, his record is drastically skewed, but regardless, in terms of win ratios on here, he belongs up in the top 10. None of these players are going to either A. Have a good record, B. Have a high match count, or C. Aren't boosters.
I think if it went purely by W/L it'd be more accurate with a minimum total match count to even qualify for ranking. Now that it's been around 6 months or so, we have these numbers to play with. No one else comes close to the W/L records of this list and has the mountain of matches. The top 6 players span between ranks #2 and #125, with #1 being a known booster, so it's really between #1 and #124, out of 62,439 created Gamertags who have played at least 1 ranked match. Even if we knocked the mimimum I'm using down to 500 total matches, all the players I've mentioned would still be on top. It is no coincidence that top known players all have records that speak for themselves.
Some players who stopped playing for whatever reason are very good, but a couple hundred matches mixed with their win ratios. Also there are players who are greatly affected by netplay, the controller, etc. For instance, if I had a stick to work with the entire time I have been playing, I can guarantee my loss count would still be in the teens right now.
Another thing, even purely skill wise, these players are all in the top IRL. Some of these other guys who have been mentioned are not good. Connection issues, especially with that PayorMajor guy, he's in Mexico, it's like playing on the "Good" connection type on Kaillera, plus a horrible controller? You can't rank that fairly one on one and I still beat him regardless of how torturous it can be.
I hope that gives people a good idea.
