Where? Can you direct me to where this is made obvious to the community in this thread? I can't seem to find it anywhere in the OP.
If this rule was made obvious and was fully understood by the community, this debate wouldn't be existing. Low Tiers has never been considered before for Power Rankings, so it's quite an interesting twist.
You say to not be blinded by the words "Low Tiers" but that would be like me saying "don't look at the word 'No' " when standing next to a No Loitering sign. Putting the words "Low Tiers" in front of "Singles" makes a huge difference.
Based off of your argument, couldn't I say this?
I beat Atomsk and Snakeee in low tiers, thus I am superior and should be ranked higher. Snakeee secondaries Zelda and Atomsk payed 5 dollars to enter a tournament, decided that PT was his best option (meaning he put his confidence in PT as his main) so those matches should count toward my ranking ):<
The point people are trying to make against you is that you can't single only certain people out in Low Tier tournaments. Either you consider everyone's placing, or no ones placing. Everyone payed to enter Low Tiers.
You're also saying that serious sets between people's mains is what matters, but we all know that you would never use Ike against Kai in a legit singles tournament since he can CP Diddy so...I'm confused.
You're probably going to respond by saying "Well my MK/Snake would beat Kai's Diddy, so he would go Sonic". Alright, awesome. Then if those matches happen in singles, they should count as Inui > Kai, instead of theorizing what could happen based off of a Low Tier tournament.
