There's no definition for genius, same thing for master/guru.

I'd say that your perception of a Master and a Guru vary greatly over time. As an example, you might see a master AAA'ing 6's when you first start out, but as YOU get better and better, your thought on what is "Master and Guru" goes further and further up the ladder.

In terms of FFR, I'd say that a Master would be someone who has been able to obtain oni, and that a guru is someone who can AAA an FGO (herp masters AAA FMO's, gurus AAA FGO's). Although someone who is a guru to ME might be someone who is able to AAA pretty much all of the FGO's, and then if I ever got there it would probably be AAA'ing 13's or something.

Whatever happened to the perception of God?

Really? I thought a certain intelligence quotient constitutes a genius. I could be wrong though.

Here's what I think: a master is someone who can play FMOs without mashing, and a guru is someone who can play FGOs without mashing. You don't necessarily have to be able to do all of them, but I'd say that to make one of those categories you should be able to do at least one song that isn't considered one of the easiest for that difficulty. That's what the "FMO" and "FGO" titles say to me.

By qqwref's logic I'm now a master

I still suck though.
