combo scoring

u guys are all mad

A 3000 boo run on Pants should beat a 0-0-1-0 with the miss right in the middle.

Raw scoring with the caveat that once an FC always an FC.

So if you FC a chart but later get a better raw score, you retain the better raw score as your score but also retain an FC on it as well.

Or should you FC something you hadn't previously FC'd, but it's not as good as your best raw score, then you keep your best raw score but also gain the FC.

It would be understood that a non-FC score next to an FC marker would mean they FC'd it with another score which wasn't as good as their current score.

Re: Combo or raw scoring?

I was going to make a long post about why we need to change avg rank to raw scoring. But meh.

We could even have 2 sets of level ranks for raw scoring and combo scoring. But really we should just forget about combo scoring because it is horribly flawed and a terrible way to score in this game.

Delete scores tables, play for fun!

Re: Combo or raw scoring?

I voted for raw scoring.

Anyways, the issue with implementing raw scoring as the new normal method of recording scores apparently has to do with the amount of data it would require to make that change. Supposedly FFR's server (where scores are retained) doesn't have a lot of room from what I've recently heard...

Big surprise... wipe the accounts that haven't been used in over 6/7 years...

edit: I'm sure there are other things taking up more space that we don't really need, too

There are a lot of sites that move inactive data to a separate storage location that can possibly be restored if the person ever came back.

Re: Combo or raw scoring?

I like combo scoring because it takes into account every aspect of the game.

That said, it is very frustrating to get hundreds more perfects and still get a lower score due to an unfortunately located miss. Generally, if anything I think the combo scoring is not weighted properly and boos should have a higher impact to discourage button mashing just for FCs.

Wait until you start playing the highest difficulty songs and you will probably think otherwise.

I like it just the way it is.

Except for accuracy (it's counted, but not worth much at all in the grand scheme of things).

I like it just the way it is.

Any particular reason?

There are

like tier points

but there's also never going to be account deletion, it's been said numerous times, despite the fact of how useful that'd be memory wise in the long run

Re: Combo or raw scoring?

As long as I still have a FC bar to fill up, makes no difference to me.

Regardless of how the game is scored the best players will end up with the best scores.

Re: Combo or raw scoring?

I'm no expert, but raw scoring all the way.

Combo scoring just encourages mashing FMO/FGO songs for highscores and a player who got 99% perfects and one miss tends to get a lower score than one who mashed his way through it and didn't miss.
