Now, obviously FFR is not the same game as DDR. But there's a respect for tradition here.
One input per arrow has been a constant since the very first game was released, so I don't see any reason to suddenly redefine the entire genre right now as a result of one forum thread.


This strikes me as a pretty weak argument.
"But using macros and bots is my style of playing" follows the same lines, no?
If we don't define cheating by what is acceptable in the community, how else do we define it?

If it's a respect for tradition why are we playing on keyboards and not metal pads? BECAUSE it's a clone and there are differences here and it is a different game. We don't have 4 legs so why do we use 4 fingers?

This isn't a genre defining thing. It's letting people do what's fun for them.

If you want to write a program/bot that AAA's 9999nps songs good on ya, we can draw the line at bots. Keep it out of ffr, there's no competition there.
But why take away from someone that is actually trying to have fun and improve their real skill? Why tell someone they can't have fun simply because we arbitrarily decide that double setup is cheating. Why limit the capabilities of everyone simply based on tradition when in the past we've broken tradition to have fun?

I know it is. Mind giving me a reason why it should stay that way? MORE IMPORTANTLY why we should adopt that mentality and bash all DS scores?
