Every fighting game I see has the same generic crap modes and rankings as everyone else. I'd like to see some variation. If I helmed a fighter, I'd add these to online games.
Top 100 dangerous players
A list where the top 100 best players would be ranked. Disconnect % would be capped at 1-3% max to make sure their wins are actual wins instead of disconnects to prevent losses. It would be to show what to aim for, this group has their replays saved and can be viewed by anyone.
Up and Coming
A section where players who are making a rise and starting to get good appear. Shows win and loss and compared to previous weeks and so forth.
Rage Quitters
Anyone above 10% disconnect rate would be displayed here proudly. Like Alpha 3, there is NO ESCAPE! Also to penalize these people and take a cue from Capcom, the only people they can play against are OTHER rage quitters.
Duel
Capcom has the player points and battle points but that goes to anyone. There needs to be a mode where you can personally challenge someone and bet points and some of that stuff. I'd personally call it Pimp Status. Your online character is represented with clothing and the more pimp status you have, the more you get to decorate your character. If you lose your pimp status, you get downgraded to john clothing. Pimp Status is only increased or decreased by personal duels.
I feel like there's so much that can be done, yet we get the same regurgatated modes over and over again. BLEH.
