I got windows 8. as far as my knowledge goes Jon told me it isn't hard to use once you get used to it (which I have) but I really want to know what flash player I should use for best performance because I used flash 9 with Velocity engine with my old 2002 spec Dell Latitude

This is the score you get before combo is accounted for.

I hope this won't be a hassle or anything but would you be able to remove my "ddrkid007" account from the tournament dashboard and I'll sign up on this one? I just feel like participating in the tourney with this name.

Just so people don't whine and everything, here's a screenshot that I am ddrkid.

Raw scoring basically gets rid of the combo aspect of it, and it's more on accuracy more than anything else.

I think removing combo scoring is crazy really.

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.

No need for D6 to be gentle with you. Your already one hell of a fucking player :3

Good luck with your First Tourney.

Removing Combo Scoring is probably the smartest thing they did. When you play through a chart, the ONLY thing that should be in one's mind is doing the best they can do. On FFR, in order to obtain a very noticeable rank, you MUST full combo the song you are playing in order to achieve that rank. However, if you take that away, and just let a person play the song and get the best score he/she can get without having to FC the song, you are going to get insane scores. Scores that a masher couldn't even come close to beating someone period.

Very pumped to see a RAW scoring official tournament. Now I don't have to really worry so much about the later rounds affecting people with combo scoring.

Maybe if Raw tourney goes well, it might increase the chance for top 200 ranks to be implemented as raw.
starting to get sick of seeing all these mashed scores from 3-4 years ago that I can't touch because of 1 miss.
19-0-1-x on schmollbluk and still no top 200
