Tekken was always better anyway.

You understand that the distribution is a bell curve, right?

Yep.

@NeonGhost-111963

That the majority of the players are in the middle with basically the exact same MMR

Yep.

@NeonGhost-111963

and it doesn’t really move much at all when they beat people of the same MMR?

Um, no. This is the opposite of true. A single win when you’re near the middle of the bell curve means that you move in percentile a LOT more than when you’re near the tails of the bell curve. This means that, if you’re near the median, then a SINGLE win or loss will put you in a different matchmaking group.

Conversely, if you’re near the maximum or minimum for MMR, then it’s likely that a single win or loss will NOT put you in a different matchmaking group, because your percentile will not change much as a result from their MMR adjustment. For example, the top 1% of MMR in solo Battlegrounds is 8300 to 13000 currently. For all practical purposes, once you’re over 8k you are being matched against all the top players, and the slow climb of 5k points past that doesn’t change your matchmaking at all.

In Ranked, Diamond rank is approximately median. Top Legend is in a tail.

If you start the season with equal MMR as someone, and that someone plays 200 games in the course of 24 days, while you play none, and assuming a winrate over 50%, it’s a mathematical fact that the other person’s MMR has gone up (faster than it could go down, as well) while yours has stayed the same.

Not enough that you’re no longer matched to them.

This depends. If both players started at a very high or very low MMR, then yes, they’d still be in the same matchmaking group. If both players started with a near-median MMR, then no.

Hard disagree here, Tekken 8 might be on top right now but it also had its fair share of low points in the past.

The only other time in the past i remember Tekken at the top of the fighting game genre was with Tekken 3.

[Dallaen-1426]

Yup, Tekken 3 and the Original Killer Instinct. MK 3 was pretty good as well. All in the Arcade of course.
