Devo, You're a great critical thinker, But you don't know much about the game.

Lets put it this way. FFR has 3 frames to hit a perfect, Upper, Center, and lower frame. The center frame equates with what would be a marv in Stepmania. A Stepmania player would then be accustomed to hitting the center frame of FFR's note system.

FFR Scoring:mmStepmania Scoring

Average:mmmmGood
Good:mmmmmmGreat
Perfect:mmmmmPerfect----This note and all below it are overlapped in a 2 framer
Perfect:mmmmmMarv
Perfect:mmmmmPerfect-----------This note is overlaped by the second in a 4-framer
Good:mmmmmmGreat
Good:mmmmmmGood

Now, Because FFR gives priority to the second note and not the first, This is where ave-misses stem from. A 4-framer (As seen in VB, K8107) Do not affect the center perfect frame in FFR. So avemisses will not overly affect a stepmania player accustomed to hitting arrows in the marv window.

Hellbeat on the other hand has a 2 framer. With a 2-framer, all the perfect windows are overlapped by the second arrow, making it impossible to get a perfect. This is where Transition comes into play. A person just coming over from SM, would not be accustomed to hitting a note so early. Especially in the 8 day interval from which -Yukari- played her first game. Had it of been a few weeks I'd understand, 8 days seems like an unreasonably short period of time to be so used to the quirks of the game. Which is why I became suspicious of her in the first place.
