I have sworn off SSB4 for good. I will greatly miss Smash Run, and the few times I had the joyful opportunity to battle with Friends. Perhaps it is for the best after all. I will assuredly continue to hold fast to my honor and dignity in online play. Having encountered another who shares my values has been exceptionally rare, and I am truly grateful. Thank you for your understanding, as it is most appreciated! Carry on the work, my friend!
Our cause is a noble one. A tragedy, to be sure. Go with fortune, and hold your head high at all times, Sir Gamer! If you wish to defeat the dregs who underlie the most despicable depths of our society, no weakness is allowed. Always bear in mind everything you have heard, seen, and experienced yourself, for there is never a better judge of character then your own eyes themselves.
How For Glory's matchmaking works TL;DR: It's the ELO system, with a few changes to fit best Smash 4's multiplayer. I will keep this thread. For Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS - Online on the 3DS, a GameFAQs message board topic titled ""For Glory" Matchmaking is a Fallacy".
Continue searching for your answer, Sir Gamer, and rest assured, you will find it. Should you strive hard enough and do whatever it takes, then someone like you shall always be able to find it in the end. Continue on your path, and one day the foes arrayed against us will fall apart.
This will bring about the inevitable conclusion to this matter, and the truth will come out at last. Sadly, my system had a broken trigger, and today's transfer to the new system both latest models ended up with my losing all DLC, save data, and in-game purchasables.
The microSD cards are complete refuse. Never, ever purchase DLC; I certainly never will again.
It is an utter scam. If you're looking for a new challenger worthy of your skills, I'm here. I might not win or anything, but I'll give you a damn good fight. I've actually sold my copy of SSB4, but Spybreak might be interested.
Thanks for the offer, though! Nintendo refunded my eShop DLC: Now working to rebuild old PRW data. Keep me logged in on this device. Forgot your username or password? Ferocactus Ferocactus 2 years ago 1 There is no matchmaking in terms of skill level or based off win percentage; it is a finite myth.
To be honest, all the matches I've played have only provided me with moveset spammers, chain abusers, and campers. It is not like I'm an inexperienced, transparent, unskilled player: If I encounter unsavory players, I retire from the match when multiple offenses are committed; it's not "rage quitting", because there is no rage on my part I just want a fair fight.
The widespread consideration and application of my message to the gaming community may very well be impractical, but I have the desire to hope it may be so. Year end FC Excange. Melee , makes his return to the roster after his absence in Brawl. For the record I've played online matches. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist people Boards Super Smash Bros. Some of them are really insane.
However, that may only be a vain hope for real character in my opponents; it appears true that "nice guys finish last", only in the sense that they are not recognized as "experts", but are often labeled as "noobs". Yes, my opponents will mop the stage with me , but only because I refuse to assimilate their underhanded tricks. Remember, readers, that online play affects everyone you encounter.
For Glory has received divided opinions from the community. For Glory's main draw is giving players a mode to get quickly and easily matched up with a wide range of other players online under competitive rules, without having to set matches up with players through external means.
For Glory is also heavily criticized for its seemingly nonexistent or illogical matchmaking system. Despite it being claimed in the the Nintendo Direct that announced the mode that there would be "some sort of matchmaking based on skill" present, players find themselves matched up against other players of all skill levels at what seems to be random, from top competitive players down to seemingly first-time players, regardless of how frequently they win or lose. This lack of a logical matchmaking system led to the persistent belief that only low-level players play on For Glory, as higher level players are uncommonly matched up against each other on the mode.
Additionally on Smash for Wii U, players' name tags are visible to each other, which griefers and salty players notoriously abuse frequently to insult and demean their opponents. One more criticism of the mode is it disallowing players from being able to play as the Mii Fighters , which is often cited as one of the main reasons, alongside their legality issues in competitive play, as for why each of the Miis became the least played characters in competitive play. However through modding it is possible to play as the Miis on For Glory without any repercussions.
Despite these criticisms, competitive players continue to frequently play on For Glory, whether it be for serious practice, to warmup for a later online play session, when they have no one they know available to play, or to just fool around, with even top players like Nairo and ZeRo frequently streaming themselves playing on For Glory. However players usually setup their own matches with other players on the With Friends mode, whether through Anther's Ladder or some other external means, when trying to get more serious practice online.
For Glory's 2v2 modes on the other hand aren't used for serious practice at all.
Due to having team attack off and running on time mode instead of the competitive standard stock mode, competitive doubles can't be properly practiced. Additionally the lack of team attack leads to degenerate strategies exploiting it being prominent, including infinite stalling such as two Pac-Mans exploiting their inability to hurt each other with Pac-Jump to infinitely ascend. While never officially documented nor ever referred to by official sources, players have discovered the existence of a system in place to punish players that have been implicated as a problem through the built-in report system.
Dubbed by players as "For Glory Hell", infracted players are intentionally isolated by the system from the normal playerbase, and are only matched up with other players in the For Glory Hell system. However genuine players have found themselves in For Glory Hell before when they were falsely reported by salty players and griefers exploiting the system, particularly players who win a lot while playing a defensive style or frequently showboat have found themselves in For Glory Hell for this reason.
