Here's a scenario that I'm finding a lot in SC5 online.
There are 4 or 5 players in a room mostly E5's maybe an E4. Everyone has had a match or two. Then , say a D3 joins the room and just wipes the floor with eveybody without mercy, next thing you know, the host has left the room. Everybody's kicked out, and that's the end of that. The noobs don't know that they can just kick the D3 out of the room. Instead they shut the whole thing down ending the fun for everybody. That's not such a big deal right now, the game is new , lots of ppl are on. But it won't always be like that.
Now I've seen some of these noob rooms go for 4 or 5 hours ,(I 've seen one go all day) with one person leaving and another person coming, and everyone's having fun, until some person with considerably more skill (and they know they have more skill) joins the room and ruins the fun.
I'm all about building the SC community, I think the bigger it is the longer it will last, the more new versions we will get. I want to see new players enjoy the game and last long enough to become good players. But it is easy to get discouraged and put the game down all together, after being manhandled, then obliterated by some advanced player.
Now I can understand if the D3 joins the room because there's simply no other rooms, okay, but the D3 will have a sense of the skill of the players once he's played one or two. Lower the gear a little,.Why senselessly crush everybody into oblivion. It would be like a professional athlete playing his hardest against a bunch of high school noobs. LOL what is the D3 proving :-) Why not use the opportunity to share knowledge and techniques with the noobs? What not use the opportunity to practice moves and techniques that you need to get better at? Some opportunities are good training opportunities for both sides, why not take advantage of that?
Otherwise if you're that hungry for blood, go find some B's or some A's to play. See how it feels to have the shoe on the other foot LOL. And no matter how good you are, there is always somebody somewhere that can kick your @$$ go find that person instead of ruining a fun room with a bunch of new players , who are not just new to SC5 but new to Soul Calibur series and are just really starting out. Show a little sportsmanship. Is sportmanship such a bad thing? Or at the very least go pick on somebody your own size LOL.
Not unless you're the kind of cat that just likes to beat up on those players that you know are weaker than you. They have a couple of words for those kind of ppl where I'm from: Bully and Coward

This is just pathetic. I'm sorry, there are no other words for it. You spent so much time crafting a "happy noob utopia ruined by people who know how to play" in that post, you forgot 3 things.
First: Online rank doesn't mean anything. I'm sorry, it doesn't.
Second: There are no "professionals" at SC. Nobody makes their living playing the game. So your sports comparisons are off-base.
Third: The game is built on the premise of head to head competition. "Going easy" is the best way to stunt someones growth. If they want to get better, getting an ass beating is the best way to encourage growth. If they don't understand why they lose, they can ask, and most players are more than happy to help them level up (myself included).
If people want to have casual games, then they can kick people, make private slots. They have the power and the control to control their own experience.
We have words for people who make social services out of games built on clear cut winning and losing (as the ends of the game) where I'm from: Ignorant and Pathetic.
I like to do this on SCIV online (haven't tried SCV online) because some of those players will be willing to learn and improve more readily than mid-level players who have misplaced pride in their 'skills'. Also, are you seriously using rank to grade players online? When I get Xbl in my flat, I will be an E5 and I'm competing at Cannes this week.
