In actuality, most people aren't so well-rounded. I'm pretty sure Blink doesn't know all-spins in as much depth as some players, and he's one of the most well-rounded players I know of. Then there's players like me; I don't sprint under 50 seconds but I have fairly thorough knowledge of spins and pretty decent visualization skills (forecasting). How would you rate players who don't have the exact balance of skills in your tiers?

this is nothing to serious or real, I actually just made this for some laughs, my characteristics are just general, not exact, and again this is not a rating, just an idea of skill level with the integration of humor

I'm just providing some food for thought/conversation

Level 10: Can do this under pressure or an audience, consistently.

For the TGM series, Grandmaster grades

GM1 : GM grade in TGM1
GM2- : M Grade in TAP
GM2 : GM grade in TAP
GM2_O : Orange GM in TAP (clearing the invisible M roll while clearing 32 lines.
GM2+ : GM2 and cleared TA death mode (with _O would be GM2_O+)

Now it starts getting weird because although every GM2 can achieve GM1, not every GM3 can necessarily achieve GM2. And how do we succinctly distinguish between world grades and classic grades. It would probably be simplest to assume classic rule unless stated otherwise, or maybe with a *
GM3-: Qualified MM grade in TGM3 Ti Master Mode. Has not gotten to or has failed the GM Exam.
GM3: Qualified GM in Master Mode.
GM3+: Qualified GM in Master Mode, has cleared Shirase.

Maybe it would be easier to assign one GM point for each achievement, and then add +s for the World Rule Achievements in TGM3 and the orange GM in TAP.

So someone who has GM in TGM1 and Green(regular) GM in TAP(aka TGM2) and has cleared Shirase World in TGM3 would be GM2+*. If Shirase had been cleared in Classic Rule it would be GM2+ instead.

i range from rank to rank, like im under 3 seconds, i know perfect finesse but chose not to use it alot of times, im gonna spend a long time figuring out where i fall on this little thing, but for now, ill give myself a ten, cause its blank

[toppingoutivan]

Pretty cute. Maybe we should establish something like this on a per-game basis?
Makes more sense for "specific" players and also "all-rounded" players.

[Paul676]

If I were you I'd separate the skills by type - so you could say "i'm level 9 at x, level 5 at x".

[Estrelleta]

I agree with Paul. My sprint speed places me at level 8, but multiplayer skills lower than that, and until just recently, finesse skills would have placed me really low on your ranking.

you also need to point out which game you re talking about.

most of those things just count with guidelines tetris games, but what if you play a game that doesnt even support t-spins, you can still be "level 10" there.
