Let's see here...

...Pfffbwaahaha wow, Ezio and the Nerd are not going to have practically ANYTHING change about them. I mean, just look at that disparity. THIRTY-SIX places apart! At worst, Ezio will slide into the bottom five, from which hopefully he can come back by fighting people who aren't in the top 5.

Flint's not going to suffer that much from his loss...but damn, poor guy needs a break and FAST. Goemon should see a nice jump for beating Mac though.

Heavy Vs. Tingle went about as could be expected. He did well, Tingle fought as best he could, and they'll both see a modest point shift from it.

Dracula and Dan...is almost as ridiculously mismatched as our opener was. At best our Vampire Friend will sneak his way up to the top 10 for this, whereas Dan may actually bump Eggman up in the bottom 5 rankings.

Ah, here's the story of the night. Falcon Vs Fox. Rank 4 Vs. Rank 26. Now this, THIS is going to be a big juicy jump/fall for the two of them. Fox put on a really good fight, but Falcon has been hot in the Casual Division, and he's earned his big point jump from becoming Casual Champ. But just because he's losing his high-rise ranking doesn't mean we've seen the end of good ol' Grey Fox.

Sagat and Scorpion... :idunno:

Huh...I honestly didn't realize Sonic was ranked just above Protoman before tonight. Pretty darn close to each other too. I think Proto might even break into the Top Ten from this win alone, while Sonic will probably fall just below Johnny Cage, which is by no means a disrespectful place to fall.


All in all, not a lot of shakeups besides the Casual Belt, and besides that, only Protoman beat the odds by the small margin that he did, and it was very well earned to boot.

-----

Oh, and I did some calculations. If we DID count Sagat's win, and not count any title factor into play...

Sagat would jump to 1190.9 points, a solid 188.8 Point jump. It'd put him just above Nappa, and below Johnny Cage, possibly above Sonic.

Scorp would lose an equal number of points and fall to 1427.5, which puts him just above Gabe's current point total.

...I really hope this doesn't get counted.

Well Cammy's rigged as all hell match got counted, so maybe Scorpion's DQ loss will as well. I just hope not.

Please Understand.

Cammy/Grunty was a No DQ match. However one-sided it may have been, Grunty scored a pinfall within the rules of the match.

Scorpion straight up was not involved in the outcome that led to the decision.

I don't think it shouldn't count, but I do think that a DQ loss shouldn't count as much as losing via pinfall or submission.

I think DQ/count-outs should count for half (or even less) of what it would normally be.

They happened all the time in '13 because dat barricade spear. I'm not sure if it's even possible in 2K14 AI vs. AI because of how it works now.

Yeah I know, they happened all the time in 13. I don't think we've had one in 14.

Scorpion and Sagat shouldn't be counted. If it is counted, Scorpion would just get screwed over and Sagat would get a bunch of points he doesn't deserve.

I don't see why you would ever count a match with a dirty finish.

It'll be counted, I'm gonna call it. Similar stuff's happened in the past that CommanderVid counted, I'm fairly sure he will count this too.

I'd say PLEASE UNDERSTAND but I see that most people here understand anyway.

My reasoning this time around is that there really aren't any rules in place for when this kind of thing happens, so I can make them now, and manipulate them to my will. HAHAHA.

If you think I've missed anything, make sure you let me know, too.

So from now on:
(Using a singles match as a reference point)
-A wrestler who scores a decisive victory over their opponent receives all of their potential points gain.
--A decisive victory is defined as:
---Pinfall
---Submission
---Knock Out (via Ring Break, etc.)
---Putting an opponent through a table (in a tables match)
---Retrieving the belt, briefcase, etc. suspended above the ring (in a ladder match)
---Making an opponent say "I Quit" (in an I Quit match)
---Making an opponent unable to get to their feet for a 10-count (ONLY in a Last Man Standing Match)
--The reverse is true for a wrestler who concedes a decisive victory (they receive all of their potential points loss.)
-A wrestler who scores an indecisive victory over their opponent receives half of their potential points gain.
--An indecisive victory is defined as:
---When an opponent is unable to enter the ring after a 10-count
--The reverse is true for a wrestler who concedes an indecisive victory (they receive half of their potential points loss.)
-A wrestler who scores a victory over their opponent via disqualification receives no points.
--The reverse is true for a wrestler who is disqualified (they lose no points.)

-Backstage Brawls are not counted towards the rankings.
-Royal Rumble matches are not counted towards the rankings.
-Tag Team matches are not counted towards the rankings.

-Casual Championship matches and No. 1 Contenders matches of any kind give 1.5 times the points.
-VGCW Championship matches give double points.

There, now,

ARE YOU REALLY FEELING IT, BROTHER?!
You forgot the unlikely, probably plot-only scenario (or ring breaks, if they still can actually happen) of winning by knockout or a wrestler being unable to continue fighting in a non-LMS match.

Editing to say that other than that, looks like good stuff.

Good point. Slotted it in there.

Well, time for me to eat shit, grin and bear it. :dan:

It's a fair system, and isn't so drastically different that it throws the old results way off base. If one were to go back to the beginnings of Season 1 and work their way through the show with the new system, I doubt the rankings would change more than a few dozen points for a quarter of the roster.

(It actually took more than 7 seasons to have a match end via interference? Wooooow.)

Dayum that leap for Falcon...it was even bigger than I expected.

The Midcard has really tightened up lately, and a LOT of points have gravitated towards the top...I blame the huge sink in points from various lower-mid tier and bottom-tier characters.
