Not necessarily. At least I don't know how this works in smash, but in competitive fencing I'd see people go 50-50 consistently locally, but one would always do drastically better at nationals, year after year after year.
Right like there are A rank fencers, and then there are A rank fencers who actually have a shot at placing on the points table.
I'm not sure why.
- YokoZar 9y agoIf you told me these facts about a random video game I'd guess the following: - A high rank player can consistently execute a strategy that wins against the majority of players most of the time ("beats the meta") - The above has a counter strategy, but this strategy often fails against the majority of the players ("loses to the meta") When these two players meet, they go 50-50, but have very different results in tournaments. Alternatively, one player is generally bad but exploits a particularly hard to observe weakness in the first. I know nothing about fencing, but I suspect something similar is going on here.
- dmoy 9y agoYea I suspect you may be right. The ones I saw who did better in tournaments tended to have more controlled, standard style. Nothing too fancy.
