Don't worry about the grade rank; it can be abused to illegitimacy. Instead, do everything in your power to overcome your opponents, and your skills will progress accordingly Besides, unlike in DOA4, you don't get achievements or trophies for ranking up, so the purpose is lost.

tru but i use 2 get kick a lot from lobby's when i was a B rank so that pretty much the only reason i wanted to rank up but now that im a A im pretty much done lol

You likely got kicked because you were one of the enlightened ones, and the other players couldn't handle it. This is nothing new. Today's era of gamers are mostly with an over-entitled mindset.

Then stop playing ranked. It's a letter. It means two things; You have played ranked matches and you have a letter.

I've beaten S ranks while F ranks have beaten me. Don't worry.
