    I got a perfect on the Mario song, but...

    Kay, so I'm doing the Super Mario one, and get every single one, and I somehow only got 34% of the record holder! wtf? How does that work. My score was double the ffr best, and I still got nothing but 4 credits and 34!

    You got 4 credits because credits are mainly based on your combo. Since there's barely any arrows in Mario, you cannot gain many credits from it. You got 34% for two reasons. One is that tons of people have gotten full combos will all perfects, and the other reason is because a lot of the high scores on that level (and others) are hacked.

      Yea, I decided to PFC'd that the other day and, well, here's the screen...
      notice the rank and the percent.


      The reason the percent is so low is because the top score is like some kind of a super hack or something.

        Temporarily fixed.. I strive weekly to find holes that hackers use try to patch them up. It is a very difficult thing to do with something like FFR. Especially when I pretty much am a 1 man team or trying to fork out personal money to get things developed that are out of my reach. I will continue to combat the score unfairness and if anyone out there wants to help and has an extremely good skillset in Flash or PHP wants to give a helping hand, please let me know. It doesn't help that FFR is not a full time job of any sorts, unfortunately this week I have been doing lots of travel and try to peek in once a day to make sure it is still running.

        Cheers,

            Hah, just AAA'd it, and still only got rank 17, but that's for reasons that I won't mention, for the result of people getting curious.

            But otherwise, awesome, AAA gives you 93% score.

                You got 4 credits because credits are mainly based on your combo
                either you are wrong, or it is an extreme coninsidence that every 50,000 points i get on a song, i get 1 credit

                  He's not wrong. It's based on the combo of the song and your points. The song is short and has a low number of arrows compared to like Terror From Beyond

                  Mario- 170's = 4 creds for FC
                  Terror- 500's = 20 creds for FC

                    o__o I did that one too, no boos or misses (my first victory! :]) quite a few averages, a couple of goods, and a lot of perfects, and I got 6 or 7 credits I think... I have the screenshot at my other computer, so I'll check that...

                      I've never gotten 4 creds from a FC in mario. I've always gotten 5. Therefore, the amount of credits you get is based off your final score (which is based almost entirely on the max combo). Menzeeto probably got 4 because he got a lot of averages which lowered his final score out of the range of 5 creds. I hope this made sense.

                        It doesn't. You simply know, because you know what a AAA is.
