The reason fujin is so populated is because its filled with both fujins and 2.0 fujins. A ton of players that get to tekken king for the first time, get a huge boost in prowess. Opponents get much harder, abruptly so they get demoted to from tekken king to about fujin. A 170k prowess fujin and a 220k fujin are worlds apart in skill.
1% of ranked matches are actually playing "the match up". I can guarantee you practically no one below Tekken King is even applying the most fundamental basic match up knowledge in any online match.
Tekken is super hard, but Tekken players today are more prepared. No one is accounting for the information available through RU-vid tutorials and character deep dives along with frame data now being available. It brought up the base knowledge to a higher level than ever before.
Thanks for this! Looking at the gg stats, I feel better with reaching Raijin and knowing I've been beating Kishin and Bishin players sometimes too :) Good for motivation
One of the reasons for the increase in all those blue ranks in NotQuiteFactuals data are alt/sub characters. NotQuiteFactual only counts highest ranked character you played during the time he collected replay data. this latest data was gathered over a time of 2 weeks. so all those gold/god players who were playing around on different characters other than their main during those two weeks, will inflate the blue ranks.
Very informative video! I feel like the rank data is different than the older tekken games cuz of crossplay and a bigger playerbase overall. Personally I love the game and I am glad a lot of people are mid-high ranks already, just means people are grinding it out and playing the game more. Which should be a good thing. Just my opinion😊
Maybe the game analysis the number of characters per player and not just the players' highest rank. So, each player could count as 32/33/34... depending on if they have the DLC characters or not. And since every time we rank up with a character, the other characters also rank up (wich I'm totally against), that would explain the lack of Beginner ranks. And the reason why Fujin could be one of the most populated ranks is simply because that's where the "real" Tekken starts. The skill gap between Battle Ruler and Fujin is really noticeable, and that's where most players hit a brick wall and get stuck... I should know, I'm one of them.
I got 4 accounts with my kazuya sitting in fujin on the leaderboards on those three and an account where I’m just chilling in ruler ranks that ones for experimenting, been in the hyperbolic time chamber bout to push forward
