Let's seriously not forget that it does take a looooooot of playing to get that kind of rank at all. If you had that kind of time to begin with there's no way in hell you'd even get into the tourney. That bitch list might be a joke, but it's fairly true.
On an individual basis, i.e. tourneys and whatnot, Toribash is totally competitive. I don't understand how someone can say it isn't. Obviously things like turnframes, gravity, dismemberments etc. etc. etc. have a part to play in all of that, but if you make sure to optimize all those settings for competitive play, it totally works.
So I can contribute a bit to the OP.... I don't really like it at all. There's pretty much a train for good ranks, and if you miss it you're a little fucked. It's not about who is the best, it's about who has the most time on their hands to sit in the ranked rooms and tourneys.
b-but my alt has.
It doesnt take that much, hunt down high ranked players and its not that many games.
It really isnt competitive, read hipotibor's posts - in addition to which the unpredictability of the game physics at times makes it even less so.
Its not about who has the most time on there hands, as I said, taking all players rankings there would be a good correlation between player rank and skill level, its just when there are many people within a smaller range of skill that the rank system doesnt differentiate so well. I certainly dont have the most time, and my alt got in - since you insist on using me as an example
