With RANK MATCH: ON settings, the results of the battle are reflected in Battle Points and affect placement in the ranking.

Online Battle Rank reflects a player's online results and is unaffected by offline game play. Rank can be increased by gaining Battle Points. Also, a player's Player Level is decided by their online Rank. The Player Level is divided into Low, Middle, and High. Player Level is useful in setting a room to fight players of roughly the same level.
