Alright thanks mate
Hey man what is your win rate overall?
The opposite. There are hidden ranks that *GSP is based on*, which it uses for matchmaking. It's probably something similar to the Elo system.
Could be. It seems to be approximately the top 3%, from about 2.605M to about 2.685M, as of this posting. It could just be the top 80,000 players, or it could be the top 3%. Without exact numbers, it's hard to tell.
At this point, I'd say that I have no idea. If you find someone close to you, and win, you get 1k GSP at that level. (Source: Me. I made the post lol) I'd expect gains to be even lower if it was the 3% threshold because that'd only be 4k off of "Max" GSP. (2.615m / 97% = 2.695m). It'd be insanely close. That's, like, 20 wins from people well below you close. I refuse to believe my random-ass Ganon is near the GSP max cap LMAO.
Flat 100k is also possible, and would make more sense than 80k. It's a system made by humans, so it's probably going to be a nice "round" number. Whether it be 3%, 4%, 80k, or 100k. It would be rather strange if it was something like, say... 3.4%.
What's your GSP?? The post is meaningless without GSP context.
Yeah, that gives credence to it using an Elo system behind the scenes. The Elo system gives more weight to a newcomer's initial matches, so as to place them where they belong in a more reasonable period of time. After they've played enough games to establish themselves, Elo will shift much more slowly.
Not to sound like a dunce but what is Elo short for lol? Or is it some kinda game mechanic from other games or something? Never heard of it before it was mentioned here...
My GSP for Samus is 2,742,457. Dark Samus and Ridley are also at 2.7+ million for GSP, but I made it there for Samus first at over 2.6+ million yesterday.
I do believe he is the top with that character, not the best for all of em. Impressive to say the least.
That might just mean the person he faced was not high enough to where his GSP would increase...
Shouldn't it increase regardless of the other person's GSP? Sounds like a waste of effort to win a game and not increase even at the slightest.
That's the thing, even if your hidden rating goes up, if you're either at the very top of the ladder or if it wasn't enough to pass the next person above you, you won't notice any change. Zero's rating certainly went up there, but it just didn't make a difference in the stack ranking of players.
Once you're as high a GSP as he likely is (relatively), not every player you beat is going to yield GSP because not every player you beat is going to qualify as a worthy opponent, comparatively. GSP is supposed to represent an approximation of how many people you are better than, so beating someone and the rank not going up only says that the player he beat wasn't better than him by a long shot to begin with, and there weren't any players he leapfrogged to being better than either as a result of that win.
