Average Rank vs Overall Rank

[reuben_tate]

Haha, just noticed that my average rank is significantly lower than my overall rank. I noticed that this tends to be the opposite of most FFR players from what I recently observed. Should I interpret this is a good sign or a bad sign?

EDIT:
For those of you who don't want to look at my profile and waste your time:
av rank: 10, 321
overall: 16, 175

That would indicate that you're getting higher ranks on songs in less time than other people.

Average rank >> overall rank


always.
Don't argue otherwise, cuz ur always gonna be wronngggggggggggggg

[rushyrulz]

My avrank is higher than my overall rank therefore I suck.
(but only by a little)

It's a decent sign, more of a sign that you haven't overplayed what you are capable of yet, my average rank has been below my overall rank but the overall rank is steadily catching up. Once you reach a certain point your average rank will drop much slower while your overall rank will continue to climb since you will still be piling up points with each game played.

Ya my average rank was a lot lower than my overall for a while and then suddenly I hit a brick wall, mainly because I kept playing certain songs over and over to get fc's... If you want to keep your average down.
Keep playing different songs.

Average rank will always be better. You could simply play excite bike for the rest of your life and get the most points while in the mean time proving nothing at all. Go for ranks if you really want to make an "impact" on this website.

Depends on what your average/overall ranks are.

[Ziergdsx18]

Just posted in OP.

Just to clear things up: I am not asking which rank is better (it seems like many people seem to be responding as if I'm asking that.) I just wanted to discuss average / overall ratio. Anyways, my recent goal has been to play every song at least once because my av rank won't be good if I have "0's" in my level stats. I guess since I haven't been playing the same songs over and over again (except my favs) my av rank has been increasing quickly in proportion to my overall rank.

You may find some people with relatively crappy average ranks that are phenomenal at this game. Some people just really don't care to AAA any of the low songs.

Basically, your average rank/overall rank ratio means very little unless you're someone like smartdude who has 2/2.

my average rank and overall rank is exactly the same lmao 765 on both, im sure thats strange. but average is always better, overall means nothing, just shows how much u play the game compared to another player,

I was already aware of that one. That is reason number #2.

My average rank used to be lower than overall rank.

....A long long long long time ago. >.>'

You should interpret this as a good sign. The lower your overall rank gets, the more impressive it is to have an even lower av. rank. When you're starting out, one play on a song significantly impacts your av. rank. As your levelrank improves, you are still achieving overall points at the same rate, making av. rank/overall rank ratio harder to maintain.

I had an average rank of 2 and an overall rank of 380+ before the FFR crash.. I already had like 1.5 years worth of rhythm game experience prior to starting FFR though

Edit: Xayphon has an overall rank of 786 and an average rank of 1<< This was because he had a previous account, but the current best ratio afaik

[iironiic]

For a long time, my overall rank was higher than my average rank. But after trying to lower my average rank by AAAing like 20 songs per day rofl, the table turned around at 69 (rofl). Now my average rank is very low compared to my overall rank.

As for interpretation, the fact that overall rank exists shouldn't matter much about whether this ratio is "good". It just shows how much you can achieve higher ranks in a low amount of time. You can take that as a good thing or not.

[Plan_Bsk81127]

Overall rank means/proves nothing to reflect your actual skill for this game, just shows how much you play it. Its not really a brag worthy achievement to have.

Average rank which is reflecting your actual skill is more important and should be focused on a lot more then overall rank.
