What are the ranks you can achieve in Tekken 5?
I started at 9th Kyu and worked my way down to 1st Kyu, after that I got a ranking match and got 1st Dan, but since then I have not gotten another ranking match
should't it be 9th Dan and go down?
Yet, in Ghost mode I can also see Expert, Master and a few others, how can you get those ranks?
Arcade Battle is the other main mode of Tekken 5. In Arcade Battle, you are
to select a character with whom you will raise from the ranks of Beginner, all
the way to the echelon of Tekken Lord.
After you select a character, you will fight your first opponent, who will be
selected for you based on your character's ranking. After beating him/her, as
you watch your fighter celebrate, you are given four options: the fighter on
the top (whom you can choose to fight by pressing Up on the D-pad), the fighter
in the middle (whom you can choose by pressing Right on the D-pad), the fighter
on the bottom (Down on the D-pad), or Exit out of Arcade Battle (Left on the
D-pad). You are given the name of the fighter and their ranking. Think fast,
though! You are not given too much time to make your decision.
For each fight you win, you are awarded money for customization. The amount
you receive depends on how much higher your opponent's ranking is than your
own.
The believed formula, as given to me by Dion Riojas:
Beat someone the same rank as you = 1000G
Beat someone ranked higher than you = 1000G + 100G for each rank higher than
you (100G bonus for one rank higher, 200G for two ranks higher, etc.)
Beat anyone ranked lower than you = 800G
Beat a Warlord or higher (see below) = 1000G bonus (is not dependent on your
ranking)
If you lose a fight to a character, and you opt to continue, you are allowed
to change your character if you so desire. Regardless of which character you
choose and their ranking, your opponent's rank will not be changed.
The ranking list is roughly:
Beginner ---lowest ranking
9th kyu
8th kyu
7th kyu
6th kyu
5th kyu
4th kyu
3rd kyu
2nd kyu
1st kyu
---
1st dan
2nd dan
3rd dan
4th dan
5th dan
---
Shihan
Expert
Master
Virtuoso
Champion
Legend
Sage
Warlord
Conqueror
Deity
Tekken Lord ---highest ranking
The more you fight and win, the higher your ranking will go. However, if you
lose several fights in a row, you will be at risk of being demoted.
Additionally, on occasion, you will receive an opportunity for a roulette. A
Tekken Roulette will take the amount of money you win from the fight, should
you win, and multiply it by either 2, 3, 5, or 10, depending on what the
roulette hits. You will know that a fight has a Tekken Roulette feature when
the top left of the screen flashes red. Be sure to win as many roulette
matches as you can!
*Note: On one occasion, I was playing Arcade Battle for an extended amount
of time, and from Stages 45-54 or so, I received 8-10 consecutive roulette
battles. Obviously this netted me a LOT of funds, but I have no idea if such
a roulette streak is the result of persistence and getting to Stage 45, or if
the streak is the result of dumb luck over and over again. If I receive any
information through my playing, I will let you know.
