Agreed with Illmatic. The fearless strategy provides a better learning experience because you'll be forced to constantly adapt to so many different things. Your ladder score will vary at times depending on your performance, but I can almost guarantee that most players who go in and play everyone will usually end up being the better players in the long run. It's just a matter of what people consider to be more important to them at that point.

i hate players who only choose certain opponents/mus for points... for everything already mentioned. Admittedly though, I'll try to avoid MK online in singles because marth vs him online is near impossible, lol. But ya, those strategies are beyond dumb.

Mine that I used past season was a combo of the Streaker and Farming strategy.

@ Illmatic and others who advocate the fearless strategy: Use whatever strategy is your focus. Some people care more about the badges when laddering than others. This is for anyone.

I'm not the best, and there are others who are much better at this game than I. This is just for people who are getting started with ladder. It's about seeing what you can do with the system, and being aware of it.

Thanks everyone! I just hope a bunch of people enjoy this writeup.

Yeah, definitely, if you're laddering for overall experience, you should use the Fearless strategy. But if you're after badges, some badges like the Godlike badge are almost impossible to get with that strategy, so yeah, depends on what your focus is.

Post a link here!
I know Haloman800 also had a crazy streaker strategy he pulled off several ladders ago, but I chose to put some newer rankings up instead. But if you got anything, be sure to post it in the comments.

So Diska'a article on Ladder advice gets published but an article about Michigan's largest Regional tournament since L.O.L.I.S doesn't get published. Really AiB, you just give me more and more incentive to hate this site.

"The purpose of a ranking system is to both identify and track the skills of gamers in a game (mode) in order to be able to match them into competitive matches."

On AiB:
The purpose of a ranking system is so players can identify other better players to avoid in order to get badges and different colored names by not playing them.
