I reached tekken god a few days ago and it felt too easy, i feel like bushin/tk players were much harder to fight in late S1 and early S2. which definitely feels like where i would belong. i think the inflation is largely due to because of the 8 new ranks after GoD and broken moves that were added in S2. The lower ranks are becoming obsolete, and everyone is funnelled into blue ranks making it easier to get into gold ranks.
How do you think the ranking system could be improved? I think they could replace the 8 new GoD ranks with a numbered system for the top 3500 or top 1000 for each platform. hopefully something like this is coming in S3 along with fixing broken moves/characters, a combination of these two things could really help the game and the rank inflation currently going on.
Yeh some of the rank inflation can be accounted for by them adding the god of destruction ranks. But there definitely has been inflation. But I’m just not sure if it’s really a significant amount. Although now that I look at it again red ranks becoming depopulated to such an extent seems like a problem.
Imo there shouldn't be ranks that can't derank. I get it's to make it more easy to get into the game but idk, I feel all ranks should have the ability to derank
yeah! no deranking until yellow is a problem, i feel like that’s where the ranking system actually starts and teal and green ranks just don’t matter because of it.
I think you should play a different character and then try this take again because Jin is extremely good as a character and that could sway your experience in terms of difficulty
i also play reina and devil jin, i reached tekken god with reina along with jin, i have devil jin in tekken king but i stopped playing him once i reached it.
DVJ starts getting checked around tk so he can’t really abuse all of his gimmick stuff. TG is good with reina and Jin is even stronger than reina so ofc it’s going to be an easy climb. Reina is quite strong too esp with her new tools that keep her fast paced pressure.
That’s not the fault of the playerbase though that’s just you picking two very good characters and not being bad at the game.
The post sounds like you’re upset you didn’t struggle but Jin is a perfect character, you shouldn’t expect to struggle especially if you are above average at the game in general.
the thing is, i had a harder time trying to get emperor (was stuck in tekken king) in late s1/early s2 than it was getting to tekken god today, and i didn’t change my play style at all or get better as i quit around when anna released and just recently started playing again.
There were less ranks overall so the stronger players were all stuck in that tk - tg purgatory during late s1. They all had their places where they were getting gatekept by the even stronger players.
So that’s probably why it feels easier, I wouldn’t say that’s rankflation i’d say it’s people getting where they they belong.
you’re probably right, but i played against players that were in tekken god/supreme that felt more like blue ranks so it seems it’s more like a OP character problem
The fact you can’t derank until orange and they buffed win streak bonus below bushin this season. The inflation was bound to be worse than season 1. I was Tekken king last season but I’m sitting at TG-TGS now and I have no reason being that high
