I would like to know how matchmaking is determined because it seems it's not just by your point total, sometimes I even get people who if I beat them, I get 0 pts Matchmaking in a simplistic nutshell: You have a score that is gathered from all your Versus Tournaments so that the game knows how good you are as a running tally. It then matches you up with a random player that's close to that same rating. So it's not taking your *current* rating into account for those matchups, it's saying "You're considered one of the top 30 in the world across all tourneys, so let's match you up with the top 20-40". This can sometimes result in the oddities you see though where maybe the Top 23rd player starts the tournament that day, so you're being matched with someone with a horrifically low rating compared to yourself. Basically, it always tries to provide a strong challenge and minimizes the possibility of a walkover as much as possible.
