Disclaimer:
1. This is a SWR player ranking list. It does NOT apply to Soku;
2. The player list is pulled from here, minus the specific locations;
3. The ranking goes from 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 the highest. Those with a "?" mean I have never played them or seen them play, or I haven't played them for too long that I'm unable to give an up-to-date ranking or simply forgot;
4. Players having the same level of ranking doesn't neccessarily mean they stand an equal chance against each other. The ranking is given to their best character(s), so for example, a level 5 player whose best character is Reisen definitely doesn't stand an equal chance against most other level 5 players with a different main character;
5. This ranking is by no means "standard". It's a big, big world out there, so there's no way I can come up with a standard ranking. The ranking here is based on where the player list is pulled from;
6. Ranking 6 and 7 have a very thin line in between. You can generally consider 5 as "average", 6 as "bottleneck", and 7 as "6+". 8 and above are the ones in a different tier per se;
7. Talking about tiers, 1-2 are considered as beginners, 3-4 are considered as novices, 5-7 are considered as intermediates, 8-9 are considered as experts, 10 is considered as inhuman.
8. This ranking is solely for reference and is totally based on my personal opinion and judgment, if you don't like it or don't agree with it, then too bad;
9. Rumored that Yuyuko has a secret ultimate attack mode. It's right, there is one. Chant the following lines to activate it:

I am the bone of my cow.
Aya is my nemeses, and Reisen is my prey.
I have casted over a thousand butterflies.
Unknown to weather.
Nor known to reversal.
Have taken orbs to cast many bullets.
Yet, those fingers will never stop mashing.
So as I pray, "Unlimited Butterfly Works".

After it's activated, it should look something like this:
