It's because LP is not the internal measurement of your skill. Like most ranked games, SFV employs a hidden MMR system. Your LP gain/loss is based on who the algorithm predicts will win, and with what odds.
actually just got into a random battle lounge and played a match.
then the next 3 I tried failed to join. Like...whut >_> If I can get matches via matchmaking (albeit slowly most times), and apparently I can get the odd battle lounge, that cant be on me right? That has to be on Capcom? :/
Then LP is pointless. Seems like a dumb system then
Is that with or without his v-trigger active?
The almost all games with a ranked mode are pointless.
Thank you for this, great match.SFV Top 8 @ Wizard World

You know what wouldn't make LP pointless?
The Higher your Rank = The more FM you earn
you know, Mike Ross is only in silver, a lot of you guys might actually get him LOL![]()
trying to pull off shoryukens that often with consistency is hard
This makes perfect sense?Updated for increased wtf logic
Hey, I missed his name when checking the leaderboards!
This makes perfect sense?
You gain less points if you beat someone below you.
He gets more points since he beat someone better.
It's how pretty much all ranking in sports etc works.

at least on PC. He was ThatMikeRoss on SF4 but that was probably his XBL gamertag
I wouldn't want to go through that even if I get paid for it.
Definitely. Let's just hope it's not too hard to implement or it'll be a while.Do you guys think Capcom will update to punish disconnects?

A color, a trophy / achievement, and some fight money.

And coloursI thought I'd at least get a Title for beating Survival on Normal. Just Fight Money and EXP.

Who is Mike Ross? Well known tourney player or something? I'm new to the SF scene.

He is a pro player and hosts Cross Counter TV, which is sort of fun I must admit:

It doesn't make sense when you consider the the amount lost/won by the other guy is the same or close to what I win/lose.
Basically winning/losing agains't someone that's x amount of lp higher/lower than you can vary wildly even if those matches all had the same lp difference between the two players.
They can implement a dc penalty and work out the server issues at the same timethey have more serious things to fix before worrying about punishment for disconects unfortunately

Hell they can just go for a simple LP penalty like in IV until they get a more elaborate system up and running, anything is better than the total shitshow that is current matchmaking
meh first match with lag, so many teleports (against Bison too, which is fitting I guess)
the loss streak is real now
