Ranking is a skill system first seen in Tekken 5 and appearing in every subsequent game since. Ranks are obtained after winning a certain number of matches, then winning a "Promotion Match". By playing Offline matches (i.e. in Treasure Battle or Arcade Mode in some instances), the player can be promoted while battling computer opponents, whereas by playing in Online Matches, the player's online rank can be promoted by facing other players.
Promotions and Demotions[]
Whether it be offline or online, winning matches consecutively is the most efficient way for a player to be promoted. Matches against opponents of a similar or the same rank reward the player higher. Consecutive losses, however, will cause the player to be at risk of demotion. Winning "Demotion Matches" will allow the player to maintain their current ranking, and losing a Demotion Match causes the player's rank to be lowered to the previous ranking. The amount of wins and losses to reach a promotion or demotion match is based on a points system that was not visible to the player prior to Tekken 7 Season 2.
The Rank Bar introduced in Season 2 of Tekken 7 tells players how close they are to promotion or demotion, growing or shrinking depending on how many battles the player wins or loses in Treasure Battle and Online Mode.
