It really depends on your skill level. I was never able to hit gold before SF6 came out. Others basically consider anything below platinum to be "easy mode." Your mileage may vary.

I'm really bad at fighting games but I will give it a try and try to practice.

also how how long till you find a match ? does it take long to get into a match ?

I did it and it wasn't so bad. I even made it to platinum and I know a guy who just took a new account to diamond.

Do you wanna boost it ? since you need it too ? I read online it's possible.

If there is a way, I'd love to know what it is. With the way the ranked system works in this game, I'm not sure how it can be done.

If you an find any directions, though, I'd love to help you out! Just let me know, and link it here.

why bother with rank in a dead game

Same as when it was live. There's achievements for it.

I don't see why so many game developers put emphasis on multiplayer achievements. In fact, I've even passed on purchasing games because the achievements require multiplayer gameplay. A big part of this is because of my experience in SFV.

i dont think the majority of fighting game players care about getting achievements on steam
also fighting games are mainly a multiplayer experience so i dont know why u even bring that up that makes no sense

Simple. I've never been a terribly competitive person. I also have never been a terribly social person. Although I do enjoy fighting games (as well as other genres) the multiplayer aspect really holds no interest to me.

Perhaps this is an alien concept for you, but when you get to be my age you learn that a lot of people are really just there to waste your time. The less you have to deal with them, the better.

Yes, you can still get gold in 2024. Even if you're bad at fighting games, just keep trying & you'll get the hang of it. Heck, I bought SFV at the start of June 2024 & by the end of July 2024 I got gold & 100% all achievements. People still play SFV online, granted some days matches might be low, but other days you get a lot.

You gave me hope so I will start it right now. Thanks

Yeah i understand that, I used to be really competitive in gaming when i was younger, grew jaded. But because of that i can never really enjoy single player fighting game experiences. The one on one aspect is something that is super idealized in my head so it is hard for me to understand people who just want to play singleplayer.
To me if i wanted to play alone i'd play a game that was made to be single player.

Interesting how we had similar backgrounds, but different takes from it. Funny how life and different personalities work.

I've been doing just that, lately. But I've also been wanting to work on my game completion percentage the last few years, which includes going through a bunch of my old games and trying to finish them. Although I'd like to finish SFV, I doubt I have the skills to make it to gold. Ah well - such is life.
