Who's the best? Point System!
6 years ago
Wales

This is a thread to show who's preforming the best and running the most! I hope this thread encourages people to try new runs and attempt better times, move up the rankings and see how you place in the community among others!

Full Game Runs WR = 10 points 2nd = 6 points 3rd = 4 points 4th = 2 points 5th = 1 point

IL Runs WR = 5 points 2nd = 4 3rd = 3 4th = 2 5th = 1

Rankings as of 17/03/2018

Like the idea. Maybe have different runs worth more points than others. Like Full Story Runs should be worth the most and the shorter/easier the speedrun the less points it should be worth. Like Example: Individual Combo Challenge. WR-3 points, 2nd-2, 3rd-1 and Full Story Runs would be much higher. WR-25 2nd-15 3rd-10 4th-5 5th-3 Might get a little complicated but we could have discussion on ranking all the categories by how many points they should receive.

I thought about perhaps bringing things like combo challenges and full game runs into their own point system but alas it’s a lot of work right now, but I do agree and I think when my time is free again perhaps after work tomorrow or on the weekend I’ll redo how certain runs are ranked and have a more sensible point system

So My personal rank for difficulty/skill/time needed for each run would be and how much points each Category should receive. Points are a little random. I think 1st place points are at an ideal amount, and I believe 4th and 5th should be worth the least points by far. My 2nd and 3rd points can be tweaked the most.

  1. 100% Story Full Game - 1st-50 2nd-30 3rd-20 4th-6 5th-5
  2. 100% Story Normal/Hard - 1st-40 2nd-25 3rd-15 4th-5 5th-4
  3. Any% Story Full Game - 1st-30 2nd-20 3rd-15 4th-5 5th- 4
  4. Any% Story Normal/Hard - 1st-25 2nd-15 3rd-10 4th-4 5th-3
  5. Arcade Mode 100%/Combo Challenge 100% - 1st-20 2nd-13 3rd-9 4th-4 5th-3
  6. Arcade Mode Normal/Hard/Each Story Arc Normal/Hard -1st-15 2nd-10 3rd-7 4th-3 5th-2
  7. Individual Arcade Courses/Battle Tutorial - 1st-10 2nd-7 3rd-5 4th-2 5th-1
  8. Individual Combo Challenges - 1st-5 2nd-4 3rd-3 4th-2 5th-1

What do you think ZigZag?

See while I believe the numbers should be tweaked here like for example combo challenges are actually fairly easy to obtain and there is a literal very easy cap to the best time the game allows with them that getting a 1st place doesn't mean quite as much so therefore they shouldn't be as highly regarded, however I don't believe a 100% Story Mode should be any more highly regarded than a single arcade run because the competition is higher on those runs with more people interested and the time is increasingly more difficult, on top of that I don't believe players should be punished because they don't have the free time to participate in the longer runs that may take 1/2/3 or more hours.

Having a 1st in alot of the full game runs aswell currently means very little as there's not enough runners to really gauge what times really are possible and rewarding so many points purely to the guy who has the most free time feels a bit rubbish. I feel like Arcade full runs should be worth a bit more they're still longer more intense runs as are the 100% story modes but if time is a major factor in how players are ranked it simply says to them if you do not have much time on your hands you are not welcome to be a top player at the game.

I think all runs should be encouraged one way or another but to outright priorities runs based on time is also exclusion of players who cannot participate or simply choose not to as runners seem to either favour one type of run over another, just because someone enjoys longer runs doesn't mean the person who does not should be ranked lower. Like I said the longer runs do bring their own level of extra skill to the table and should reflect that but I don't think it should be a key factor at making them more rewarding runs.

Perhaps the best course of action is to separate the rankings between Full Game runs and IL runs and then rank them within the two categories by themselves to give players with different preferences a chance to excel in either category

Thats True. I'm fine with Full Game and Individual Runs being the only difference in points. like maybe just double points for any Full Game category over Individual Run categories.

I'll update this at some point today with the new way of adding things up which should make things look more fair. Every saturday will probably be when the rankings are updated.

The thread has been updated now, see the original post for changes.

The thread has been further updated and I think I have correct any mistakes where I gave out too many or too little points last week, this is our current rankings. As always if i've missed you I am sorry and just post here so I can post you to the rankings.
