**NekoGon** · 05-1-2011, 11:17 AM

MA - Ability to hit Marvelous, your Marvelous to perfect ratio e.g. out of 1000 notes, you get 5 perfects, that's good MA (Depending on your skill level, difficulty of file, etc.)

PA - Same thing, except this applies to Greats instead e.g. out of 3000 notes, you get 2 Greats, that's good PA (Again, depending on difficulty of file, and what people think of your skill level).

You can have good MA, bad PA (like you can get 2 perfects, but 10 greats outta nowhere) or bad MA, good PA, or both.
