Rudiger and Tannin are stronger since they've been Ultimate-class devils for a while and Ruval was only just getting promoted. But then again, there could be a whole lot of reasons for him for only gettinh promoted now. Rudiger and Tannin stayed in the Top 10 though, and Ruval WAS in the Top 10. He probably is now due to the ones that used king pieces being exposed and being stripped of their status and rank(most of those in the Top 20 I believe). But Tannin and Rudiger managed to keep their ranks although the only reason Tannin isn't in the Top 10 right now is because he took a break from the Rating Games.
