Usually, new players don’t influence the higher ranks, so we can cross out the first potential cause.įrom Fujin upwards, the old Season 1 point system is still used (wins and losses are worth the same - more info in the “point system” section), and there is inflation also at the highest ranks: the percentage of players at Tekken God Prime doubled. Natural inflation, which takes place when the players get more skilled over time. Inflation caused by the point system as there are more points into circulation. Inflation generated by new players, which increases the number of players at certain ranks. In any ranked system, there are three possible causes of inflation: For example, the average player on PC moved two ranks higher, from Warrior to Juggernaut. The percentage of players at each rank from Vanquisher to Tekken God Prime increased, while it reduced from Initiate to Usurper as the lower ranks moved from the top 37.1% to 46.7%.įrom Season 2 to 3, the inflation is between 0 to 3 ranks overall, so most players are placed 1-2 ranks higher than before.

We have data from two seasons, so we can finally have a proper look at the rank inflation. The data below was gathered in March 2020 during Season 3. The data won’t be updated monthly - but only once per season - so you might find fresher data during Season 4.Ĭredit to Olbaze who gathered the rank data and allowed me to use it for the article, tables, and graphs. The leaderboards do not provide info on the entire playerbase, still they are the most accurate source at our disposal.Īll the data comes from the PC leaderboards, so the tables do not contain info on the player distribution on consoles, but probably it is quite similar. The stats shared on this page might be a bit skewed because they are averages. The data is based on the ranked leaderboards of each character, which are available in-game.

BANDAI NAMCO doesn’t provide an API to acquire info such as the rank distribution of the playerbase, so all the data displayed in this article has been gathered manually.
