Um...what? I won a match then my following fight said I'd be demoted if I lost(and I did because it was Christie in the hands of an actual good player, although I started taking advantage of the person's weakness but it was already too late...). So yeah, bullshit.

Also is Lili meant to be broken? I was almost winning a fight yet I lost because somehow my opponent's attack managed to hit me despite...clearly not. Like not even debate-worthy enough to see if she really hit me or not, she clearly didn't.
What the fux?

Promotion and demotion is based around fighting people of your own rank. If you fight someone more than 3 ranks outside your own, it makes no difference to your status. You must have lost to enough people around your own rank to get a demotion, and then fought people way outside your rank.

But that's the thing, I didn't "lose to enough people", I was winning. Then all of a sudden another match comes and has demotion at the bottom despite winning a few fights before it. Which doesn't make sense.

You must have been winning against people way outside your rank.
Although I do think there's some undiscovered jinks in the ranking system. I'm sure I've gotten a demotion risk after beating someone of my own rank.

And I think the person I fought prior to the demotion fight was around my rank too(since the rank symbol thingy or whatever looked like one near my rank's one).

Gosh darn it. I do feel like learning someone new, but I actually enjoy playing as Lars quite a lot. I've done jusy over 600 ranked matches with him now, and although my win/loss record has slipped to about 53%, it's still fun to play as him. I want to get back up to Rogue though, at least.

Well, IMO, even though I haven't played for weeks, the best way to get better with a character is to watch vids of the best user of said character to single out the moves he uses and copy his general playstyle to a degree. Those are vids of the best (Japanese) Lars player:
And this of the best Korean Lars player (the white-haired Lars):
Hope these will help.

Well, back up to Rogue. Think I'll start searching for another character I like. Decided not to try to learn Anna. Don't like her style at all. Might try Leo.

I'm still a bit annoyed that Namco did the whole androgynous blonde thing. The silly anime maid robot thing, the fat guy who's really fast, the secret love-child with amnesia, and a blond kid who could be a boy or a girl. It's getting really weird and dull at the same time.

But SF's cast is way shittier. It haves an amnesiac and a super-fast fat guy as well.

Ryu - boring and generic anime hero Ken - Paris Hilton of SF universe Chun-Li - holy shit her legs are too muscular. Drop the steroids lady
E. Honda - a fat sumo featuring a six pack? Ganryu is funnier anyway Blanka - Tarzan? Zangief - No comment.
Guile - great haircut... But seriously, he's gay for Charlie Dhalsim - Indian anorexic guy with no pupils spitting fire!? Balrog - braindead black American boxer on steroids Vega - a creepy Spaniard homosexual with really long nails Sagat - ugly, ugly, ugly and ridiculously overpowered M. Bison - he's cool Abel - French emo amnesiac Crimson Viper - the hair
Rufus (Tekken's Blob came first btw) -
El Fuerte - Mexican luchador who likes spicy stuff Akuma - needs shoes Gouken -needs belt Seth - great, a naked guy Dan - he's not funny Sakura - Asuka's better

Nah, you have to admit that Tekken's cast is infinitely better and more interesting. Character models look way more appealing too.

I'd make a large post and rant about how Street Fighter's cast is infinitely better than Tekken's cast but, that'd be stupid (because we already know.) and I'm feeling lazy.

I will admit that SF's 3D models are ugly. But, that's it.
Then again, they aren't suppose to look human. They were meant to look cartoony and weird.

the irony is that sf characters were meant to look weird whereas we're supposed to take the tekken cast seriously

You can't seriously prefer SF4's character models.
