Good and average are so close they might as well be combined

But then everyone song up to 10 difficulty would be AAA'd...

EDIT: But I do like the boo thing.

**Cenright** · 01-27-2004, 11:03 PM

...not if combos are used almost none.
And I disagree with only the 3 options. That makes people too generalized.

Anything defined as good now would be hit, so the standards for perfect wouldn't be lowered.

true... it just seems to... general. I'd perfer to see marvs then see something taken away, but that's my opinion.

Basically, you mean once you hit a boo, if you get a boo within the next 5 arrows, you get a miss.

That's a neat idea, and it could be refined into a working idea.

As for the merging of averages and goods, I say they just fix the timing windows to be more spaced. Synth should also rename them because clearly an average isn't average.

Perfect, great, good, miss, boo. Works for me.

I can see you thought about this... but NO.

Privateer, I like your suggestions much better.

Boowhoring doesn't win people challenges......boos take down your score just as much as a miss does. It simply doesn't break your combo.

Maybe boo could be redefined to reduce your combo by 1?

Boo should just take off more points, in a nutshell.

However, I think FFR should go by this:

Perfect
Good
Miss

Pop'n Music goes by Great Good Bad and it's awesome.. so if Pop'n could do it, FFR could too.

I think it is an overgeneralization also. It gets rid of the singularity of your score. Getting rid of averages makes all those people who get them now get goods instead. You artificially bring up the bottom.

Well, maybe renaming them is in order. Instead of "Average", it should be "poor". Cuz you can hit a key when it's only half-aligned with the arrow, and it accepts it... but that's hardly "average" or "good". The point is to match the beats and arrows precisly, right?

And you cant get any better than perfect... thats like, within a nanosecond or something, right? What would the point of "marvelous" be then?

But dont do anywhting to penalize boowhores... we have it bad enough if we have to resort to that to begin with!

As inventor of the boo system, I still contend that boowhoring does not win people challenges or high scores.

**Arch0wl** · 01-29-2004, 12:18 PM

I boowhored a part in Party4U and got in the top 3

**banditcom** · 01-29-2004, 12:25 PM

80% of the losses I have in challenges are from people boo-whoring.

**aleco** · 01-30-2004, 04:09 PM

Like classical songs- it's hard not to boo-whore! At least for me. So only very good players would still get a good score.
