Yeah it irritates me a lot but I guess I'm pretty used to it by now.
if it did happen though, it would prevent a lot of hacked scores. because we have scores on the leaderboards that aren't top 200 but are still insane.
e.g. death piano AAA with like 10 misses.

When people are playing high level ITG/DDR tournaments (or FFR Multiplayer), it makes sense to reduce the pentaly of a miss because you can't "always" FC a very challenging song that pushes your limits specially when you get into the 15 and higher foot range.

But when you are playing FFR, you get 1000 chances. If you can't FC the difficult part of the song ever who are you to say you are better at it because you can AAA 99% of the easy parts. No combo scoring would make sense if we were using Stepmanias lifebar maybe, but when you can miss half the arrows in any difficult part of any song song and still pass it's silly to remove combo scoring.

In extreme circumstances, the person with the much better FA can simply mash the hard parts and still end up with better FA than the person who can FA the whole song just not quite as well on easier sections.

Also, it will be funny when people with much lower public ranks win against people who are nowhere near their rank for the actual FFR scoring.

Is it just me who thinks this is a load of bullshit? combo scoring is terrible and does not reward the true skill of a player. i could not be able to nail a single part or get some stupid key misses on my best run. for the game scoring it's not the best but afterall works, for a tournament, no thanks. i'm very happy this rule has been approved for this tournament. i myself have lost to BlastAmos the D2 of a couple tournaments ago because of this scoring, when my score was overall way better.

It's stupid. Defeats the point of having a raw scoring tournament.

Not necessarily. By having a raw scoring tournament, it will encourage people to try their best to focus on PA which is a very important aspect to FFR. Besides, FFR has never even had a raw scoring tournament before and FFR could use something new in my opinion.

If you can't even FC the song, why should you win it??

People forget that in FFR we have a thing called "boos". People who are "mashing" anything are absolutely destroying their score to begin with, and the "better" player will be able to easily jump ahead of that score with their first FC.

You get THOUSANDS of attempts on it in an FFR-like tournament which is what I'm getting at.

If you can't FC it you shouldn't win, nothing to do with timing at all. Personally seeing people with no regard for combo at all is what is going to annoy the hell out of me. 10 misses on Crowdpleaser? Who cares I AAAed the rest of the song top 50 plox.

My main issue I suppose is that misses actually take off nowhere near enough points than they should by themselves. If they took off 5x as much as they did currently I wouldn't really care about combo scoring.

Why shouldnt you win exactly? Youre saying 120-45-0-210 should beat a 0-0-1-0 score basically, NO it should not work that way at all. LOL

[psychoangel691]

Guys enough arguing. We're trying something different since we've been doing two officials a year anyway. Why not have two different styles?

[Hakulyte]

It should work that way tbh, anyone who can 0-0-1-0 can get a FC with enough tries. Accuracy, consistency and speed should all go together. Not leaving one for another.

ps: The point was something to have to discuss about, this tournament is obviously going to be full raw scoring.

[TC_Halogen]

You guys are cluttering up the thread - if the tournament is obviously going to be raw scoring, there's no need to discuss the reasoning behind having combo scoring, haha.

[Mike Weedmark]

Yeah, shut up, because
