How does the ranking formula work exactly?
The ranking score is based on the Average Finish Rankings score for MK64, MKDD, SMK, MKDS and MKSC. Next, this formula is used to calculate your score for one game: LOG10 (“Worst player’s AvgFin Score” / “Your AvgFin score”). For example: If the worst avgfin in MK64 is about 400 and your AvgFin score is 1.3, your score will be LOG10 ( 400/1.3) = 2.48 (you’re a damn lucky guy if that’s really your score 🙂 ). After that your scores for the 2, 3 or 4 individual games are summed, to get a total score. If you don’t play one of the games your score is just zero for that game. That sounds complicated… What does it mean in practice? Is it better to get a high rank, or is it better to play more games? Well, both are important. The formula is designed so that playing more games will give you some good reward. However, it’s also designed so that you get a reward for continuing to get better at your strongest game. So, if you want to get a better overall rank, usually both things will help you
