    Official Competitive Character Impressions 2.0

    Nah. His stream title said he's "on the road to 4m" or something. I think it's just a catchy title. GSP doesn't work like that. It doesn't scale infinitely and is capped by total number of players for a specific mode. I don't think even Classic mode, most played mode per GSP values, is at 4m yet.

    Official Competitive Character Impressions 2.0

    Elite Smash is generally seen as beginning at the top 3.5% of players. Confirmed when Zero reached the cap and when compared to the barrier of entry at the time.

    The online in this game will stay garbage, wont it?

    How many games have you played? Do you have preferred rules on and set to 1 on 1, no items, etc.?

    If I’m in Elite Smash how good am I?

    Higher Elite contains a fraction of the playerbase, and a smaller fraction will be playing at the same time as you. Thus, it's far more likely to be matched against the same people from time to time.

    Ganondorf vs. Palutena

    If caught in Nair, and on a stage with platforms, DI towards the platforms and see if you can tech away. She's very easy to 2-Frame, which means she either needs to land on stage, or risk D-Air 2-Framing her. You can bait the stage recovery, which means you can punish with w/e on reaction...

    Too much gsp decrease per loss

    So, most MMR-based ranking systems have an accelerated increase/decrease of rank at the beginning of the ranking process. I have a working theory that Nintendo forgot to give it an off Switch AND would have wins weighted higher then losses at first to get better people to elite faster. This...

    Too much gsp decrease per loss

    Win 2 games. Person you win against is much higher. Lose 1 against the exact same person? Lower then when you started. What the **** sorta ranking system is this? It's so ****ing bull****. What the **** is the point of winning if you lose it all in a single game? Yes I'm mad.

    Current highest known GSP

    I'm a fair bit over 3.2m. That said, there is definitely someone at the GSP cap because... Well, that's how the cap works.

    Current highest known GSP

    3.159m as Ganon. 50-300 for people 20k or more below me. Maybe 800-1k for people at level. People above me are usually 20k above and are really, really difficult to beat. They are extremely rare. Losing typically is a 1.5k-2k loss. As most people are 20k or below me... Hurts.

    Current highest known GSP

    Hit 3.1m with Ganon. \o/ Means top players should be around 3.12m

    Does anyone else hate battlefield stages?

    Movement on Battlefield is infinitely more fun then on most other stages. Honestly I'm happy I don't need to play 30k more games on FD.

    Current highest known GSP

    2.838m. Slowly but surely!

    Elite Smash?

    My personal observation has been that there is a minimum GSP that needs to be met and that is it. This comes from observing my lowest Elite and comparing my Non-Elites and seeing that none of them break the minimum set by the lowest Elite. Win/Loss ratio is kinda silly. You have to win more...

    Is online worth paying for?

    It's really odd that you're getting 90% of the rulesets being off of what you want. I take that figure literally, of course. Technically, you should be getting your ruleset 50% of the time at all times, at least that's how the ruleset system appears to function. Here's something you can try: 1)...
