    Wouldn't it be nice to see how you're doing during a song?

    Since we're getting all these new token songs, especially ones where you have to get specific scores, I would love to be able to see something like in multiplayer that shows score/perfects/goods/etc. during gameplay. Ya know, since we would be wasting quite a bit of time playing through a whole song. Just so we know when to fail when autofail can't help us.

    The main reason I support this is that it should be pretty easy to implement.
    I mean, it's already done in every MP game.

      Really, mostly only poor sports fail out during a MP game.

      But I guess this isn't that bad of an idea either way.

        now this idea HAS been suggested before, in multiple fashions.... i've suggested it myself a few times.

        will keep pushing the higher-ups for something along these lines.

          i think MP is getting old and out dated, we need a total new theme and features. Total different look and layout. It will bring in more people for a start and stop people getting bored of the same look of it.

            Looks arn't the issue, it's the idea of yano... huge lag when your anywhere BUT an internet cafe at 4 a.m (I've done it, MP w/o lag ftw!).

              I'm glad we're not the only ones pushing for this.

              Personally, I'd like to drop the judgement and also be able to see whether I'm getting goods out of the corner of my eye. Rather than barely being able to screen cut.

                How exactly would you read this information while playing?

                I don't see how having more information on a screen is going to help you accomplish a token requirement if you can't do it without the excess information to focus on at the same time.

                    With information: O **** I got more than 50 perfects, better fail and start over and save 1-2 minutes.

                    Without information: Oh I just wasted 1-2 minutes because I didn't know I failed to meet the token requirement.

                    I would like to be able to see the number of goods I have during a song. When I was playing Terror From Beyond, I thought I AAA'd but at the end I saw that I got 3 goods that I didn't even notice.

                      Put 51 perfects autofail then. It will fail as soon as you get 51 perfects. For AAA, put 1 good, 1 average, 1 miss and 1 boo autofail and it will fail as soon as you miss a perfect. Less fustrating then playing the whole song.

                        You're right, this example doesn't work, a good one would be:
                        I got 20 more averages than goods, that means I can play the song normally.
                        I don't have 20 more averages and won't be able to finish the song with 150 more perfects than goods.

                        You also wouldn't need to count the number of goods for the Zephon token.

                          I'd like this idea ... it'd help with some of the token songs.

                            I like this idea. But it also depends on where we place it. We have a lot of empty space in the on game screen so I would prefer it there over looking below the game screen like in MP.

                              just learn how to count your goods/avs/boos. or at least generally. you should have at least some idea of how you're doing. and most of the token songs with specific reqs are basically meant to make use of autofail. :\
