[igotrhythm]

The main problem I see with the new scoring system is fairly obvious once a little thought experiment is run. Ready?

Semi-decent player plays Pants. Does well up to the long-ass JS, gets wrecked, but mashes to the ending and its mindless 123423 8ths to get some semblance of a combo back. Under the old system, players are rewarded 1000 points for each step in their longest combo.

Under the new system, however, players receive 1000 points for EVERY ARROW THEY HIT. Long story short, non-FC scores on songs like Crowdpleaser are going to shoot through the roof. I personally can't tell whether this is a good or a bad thing, but it will make Happy Rainbow (the sub-1K avrank achievement token) an even bigger bitch to unlock.
