* About Color Ratings

Color ratings represent a player’s online skill level and will be applied to all online matches.

In the past, Versus Ranks were the representation of a player’s skill in Ranked Matches, while ★ marks represented players with similar skill levels in Online Lobbies and Room Matches. To more accurately represent players’ skill levels and facilitate more matches between players of similar levels, the ★mark has been replaced with color ratings.

Players should think of the Versus Rank as skill in Ranked Matches and the color rating as a player’s overall skill level, including Lobby Matches.


Ranked Match

In Ranked Match, players with Master Versus Ranks will now receive Master Points.

Master Points will increase/decrease with a player’s wins/losses.

In Ranked Match, if a player cannot find an opponent with the same Versus Rank for a certain period of time, they will now be paired with another player of a different Versus Rank.

If the Versus Rank is different, the winner will be compensated with victory stars.

The number of victory stars needed for a promotion has been changed from 1 to 2.

If the Versus Rank is below C5, it is now possible to reset the Versus Rank back to C5.

Select “Ranked Match” > “Reset Versus Rank” to use this feature.

Once a match has been set and confirmed by the player on the Ranked Match Entry screen, the player can cancel the match if the opponent has not confirmed.


Online Lobby

Color Rating-Restricted Lobbies have been added.

Color Rating-Restricted Lobbies can be used to restrict players from entering if they do not meet certain color rating requirements.

*Depending on circumstances, the variety and number of these restricted lobbies may be adjusted.

*Players who wish to use Color Rating-Restricted Lobbies

In Color Rating-Restricted Lobbies, it will be easier to find opponents of similar skill level, whether for casual matches or serious matches. 

These lobbies can be used to continuously play against opponents of similar skill levels or to challenge opponents with a higher skill level.

Lobby avatar colors 1-4 have been adjusted so they are unlocked by default.
