EDIT: 370,000 BP after today's sesh. Calling it for now. This game's online makes me mad. EDIT 2: Okay, now I really have no idea. I've earned 3,000 BP from defeating a Yellow rank and then another 3,000 for defeating a Blue rank. Those ranks are almost at opposite ends of the skill scale. How does this BP system even work? The color of the squares don't have anything to do with the BPs, they're different things. A guy could be orange or even pink without even having played a single ranked match, and another one could reach Super Saiyan 2 rank or above and still being green, so don't be focused in the colors, they just represent an overall win rate of the player. You can only earn BP playing rankeds (obviously), but the color of the square is affected by every other online mode (rankeds, arena, ring matches...) My square turned yellow after an arena match a few weeks ago, but I've seen pink players with 0 BPs (they still are amazing players) Edited February 21, 2018 by Franciscoo- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their ID's are purple color and very easy to spot. Hope connection errors don't count as quit though. I have been disconected at least 5 times and the worst part is all of those matches I was most likely getting the win. Getting to 200 BP is pretty easy but I'm getting worried passing 300BP will be the highest I will get. About the boosting I mentioned in previos posts I can confirm it is possible to do it. Yesterday we tried with a friend and matched 7 times. Because it takes a lot of time we have decided to reach 300BP playing normally and we will try it out again when we get to that level. Also a good strategy is trying to match with blue or dark green players since those are the ones with lower win rate. Avoid red or pink. The order is Blue - Green - light green - Yellow - Red - Pink. There’s actually a lower light blue below that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm yellow and I've only seen a few dark blue players and I'm pretty sure they dropped in that session. That kinda sucks because I've read a lot of blue players complaining they can't play with their friends because they can't join their same lobbies :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even know Light Blue existed - I've seen a few Blue squares and they do seem like weaker players (I'm on Yellow at the moment). Thing is, I've earned 3,000 BP from players that are a whole 150k BP below me and 1,000 BP from players closer to my rank. I would assume that you'd earn more BP from players closer to your rank, but I've received 3,000-4,000 randomly when playing lower ranked players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKARUS-RG Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Okay, I've just reached 410,000 BP after alternating between winning and losing while hovering around 390,000 BP or so. At this point it's fairly likely that I'm not going to make a lot of progress unless I keep my wins up, but I changed my preferences to "Good Completion Rate" or whatever it is and finished every game, win or lose. Kind of satisfying, honestly - as is the 10,000 BP boost you get from ranking up. I'm a Supreme Kai now! This is where the road to the trophy REALLY starts - I have a bad feeling that losses are going to hurt a lot more. But it...feels pretty close, so I'm going to keep at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you chose to fight opponents “Stronger than you” or “Same level as”? My preferences are set to "Good Completion Rate" (so I am never matched with frequent quitters) and "Anything Goes" in regards to skill. The reward for beating a far stronger player is absolutely not worth it compared to the BP I would receive from defeating two or three opponents around my level (like I would still be losing BP for a defeat against an opponent at this point even if he was a far higher rank). If you're set on this trophy and want it, my suggestion is to play against people around or below your skill level (obviously). I'm at Yellow rank and I never challenge Red or Pink players because the reward is simply not worth it (it's like an extra 1k-2k BP). You'll rank up a little slower but at least you have a higher chance of actually getting closer to your goal. For what it's worth, my team is SSJ Goku / Teen Gohan / Trunks. I have around 230 matches played and around 130 wins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is I was always choosing to fight stronger opponents thus I get beat up regularly XD, but winning around 70 games I’ve gotten to 260 K BP. Then I tried changing the search criteria to find opponents around my level but I was getting a pitiful amount of BP (just around 150!) for winning, so I switched back to the same criteria I had. I guess I’ll try the “Anything goes” option, and also that of the connection rate. I had such a bad time with people quitting when they’re about to lose.

Quitters are so frustrating to deal with, but ever since I changed my preference to "Good Completion Rate" (or whatever it is), I haven't had a single opponent quit on me. It's a refreshing change of pace after having to deal with people leaving and shafting you out of your BP. I actually think that before you reach the 200,000 BP mark or so, playing people above your skill level isn't a bad idea because you'll receive quite a bit even for losing. Once you hit 300,000 BP you need to be winning consistently to keep your points up - I was floating around 340,000 BP for a whole day because I was going win for loss online. It's brutal - can't wait to see how much I need to keep winning now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Adult Gohan is a way better character - I've just invested a lot of time into Teen Gohan is all. I find that he works really well within my team with the way his supers work and the ways I'm able to convert off stray hits with him, and I can pull big damage with him and SSJ Goku working together. I'll probably stick with my current team until I hit my goal, because the characters I'm using are all mid-high tiers (apparently). As much as I'd like to experiment, I would probably suck too much with other characters in Ranked. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason you get 3 or 4k with lower players is because of the winning streak. The more wins you get in a row without losing the more BP you get. I think the limit is 3 wins but I'm not 100% sure.

Karnacharya Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Reading up on the PSNTrophies forums, it seems that people have been able to boost with sporadic success when they're higher up in rank (Super Saiyan 2 and beyond). It's still not reliable, but I suppose it's comforting for most of us who are still at <300,000 BP (and rising sloooooooowly) at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionheart_811 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 The Supreme Kai rank is pretty brutal. I'm at 450k right now, and while I've made positive gains over the past two days (from 420k to 440k, 440 to 450k tonight), this is most losses I've taken in my grind and the most tilted I've ever been playing the game. You just get too little playing against lower ranked players, and if you lose against anyone, higher or lower rank, you lose everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just started my run as a Supreme Kai and I imagine that your win rate has to be pretty high to steadily climb. 500,000 - 530,000 will probably be ridiculous.

IKARUS-RG Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 (edited) It might just be because I live in Australia and our Internet sucks but literally every match I enter in Ranked has a 19 frame delay that makes it almost unplayable. If I try setting the connection quality to "red or higher" (which is not much better), I can't find any games. Honestly I'm a little surprised I've managed to make it to this point really. Might be willing to just find someone and trade boosts if this keeps happening. EDIT: It's a loss or gain of around 1,800 BP for where I'm up to. 425,000 BP at the moment. I make progress if I win, and lose that progress if I don't. Seems fair, but the lag is definitely against me. EDIT 2: So ranks definitely factor into things. I faced a guy who was also a Supreme Kai just now and beat him - he was a Green square, but I took 4,000 BP from the win.
