Grand Master is for the top 10 players? Making content for TEN people is such a massive waste of time. In Street Fighter 6, "Legend" rank is the top 500 players. I know SF6 has 40 times the players, but the top rank has 50 times the spots. Making something like this and not improving the garbage ranked system is concerning. It really needs MMR. Going from fighting people 5 ranks below you to 5 ranks above you is dumb. You instantly get demoted and it feels bad. The old battle passes simply need to stay in the shop FOREVER. Stop it with this FOMO nonsense. Just leave them there, let people buy them whenever they want, and give an XP boost to early adopters. Alternatively, add the skins to the shop IMMEDIATELY after the battle passes end. Content existing in your game install and being completely inaccessible to you is ridiculous. I hope this patch is good, but you guys have handled the game SOOOOOO poorly thus far. Make ranked MMR based, ban AFK people, ban bots, make ALL of the content accessible at ALL times, and actually try to balance the game. That's what needs to be done.
Yeah afk people need to be banned, balance def needs a lot of work battle pass skins should be added to the shop, but I don’t think the new rank being for top 10 players is a bad thing If the new rank is for 10 players only, that gives more meaning to the rank. Unless of course this rank is something you can’t drop
Sandalphon was already leaked/datamined, they showed his model, and is in the story mode. Just like Versusia (though, Versusia also had datamined animations like Beatrix.) Sandalphon is likely the best saved for last or the seller for S2 (the price for being the most popular character in the series and from another timeline, separate from Versus/Rising’s timeline.)
