That's the point I was making. People rank up through rank up matches, not via points from what we've seen. The other battles you mentioned weren't confirmed to be rank up matches. Hikaru because A Rank #1 because he defeated Fubiki in a rank up match. That battle between Hikaru, Silas, Valt, Rantaro, and Free was simply a battle royale.
You do know official Battles are all ranking matches/effect rankings right? Thats why they are called official because they are all battles that take place in the Wbba league and have a overall effect on the rankings either if you win or lose. Placement battles, tournaments, small events, hosted matches all of those are official battles that effects rankings.
The reason why they hop in the rankings so fast is because these are
Special ranking matches which helps bladers rank up faster than normal official ones. Example the reason why lane bltized through the rankings was because he was doing the special rank up event rather than normal battles. Hikaru just like Lane participated in battles that can SkyRocket your rank. Under normal battles ranks dont blitz like that. Under normal circumstances beating someone usually doesnt grant you their rank unless your points are high, have enough wins, in a similar range. Like for example Valt Vs Rashad it was a title match not a special ranking match but still an official one which is how Valt reclaimed the No.1 rank because despite being No.2 Valt was still in close range with rashad.
The only time when ranks aren't effected is when the battle is either unofficial, an exhibition or if its a tie and the battle cant continue. Usually it all depends in what event you participate in. Some events grant more points, some events override previous ranks based on performance, and some are battles for direct ranks

Ok at this point we might as well just stop. You have your opinion on how the ranks work, and i have my opinion on how the ranks work lets just leave it at that because lets both be honest neither of us have a definitive answer on how the ranks actually work. Only the author knows how they work and even then they kinda change it at random sometimes. Plus burst is technically over so why would the ranks even matter. I feel like we were getting a bit heated over nothing really. We both like Valt, we have zero issues over the current ranks, were both chill and fine.
