Lately I've been seeing most people in the 10s of thousands ranks (I'm a Greenbelt playing on Semipro and Intermed.) and in most cases it seems this reflects nothing skill wise on the player.

I've seen complete shovel noobs with the movement of whitebelts in the 2000s ranking, while really good people who use advanced tactics are hovering around 20,000-50,000.

Now I may be wrong, alot of the times it does seem that extremely good people are in the top 5k, but I really don't know, which is why I'm asking.

Anyone care to answer? Does your rank mean everything (It determines how good you are), is it just a W/L ratio tracker, or is it just completely disregardable?

Thanks in advanced

The rank system is a bit weird here. If you beat someone a couple of times in a row, you kind of steal their rank if it's better than yours. So the only way you'll get a better rank is to play against better ranked people. And also, no, rank does not mean anything to most people as it hardly is accurate most of the time.

Thanks for the answer.

And yeah I've been losing alot lately (I've been messing with new openers and really bizarre moves) yet my rank hasn't gone down the slightest (It's been at about 10,000 since I got lucky and beat a black belt player).

Rank and modrank means nothing. Noobclap alot in wushu and you'll quickly get to 150 or so.

Rank is just a number, it means nothing.

People who are high ranked in common mods such as taekkyon or abd tend to be good.

rank means nothing

literally just something to brag about.

Rank means even LESS than belt.

The #1 ranked player in Toribash got that way from farming bad players in Shaolinsoccer and a bit of pendulum jumper.

Let that sink in

Rank means everything Kratos is the best at this game.

They steal it only if you got over opponent's elo.
