FFR Mash scores

Re: FFR Mash scores

there's nothing wrong with this thread what the hell yall?
mashing stuff gets ragged on a lot but he's right, it's a COMBO SCORING GAME. if you don't want to see people mash through songs that are past their skill level change the game mechanics =.=

also, considering how bad i am at pseudo-cheating fast patterns (i have trouble even jumptrilling rolls; my snap reaction is always to hit every note discretely), it seems perfectly reasonable to treat mashing as a skill to develop such that when the player DOES get good he can apply it strategically to take down tricky/dense chunks of arrows more easily.

Re: FFR Mash scores

I wouldn't have a problem with raw scoring being implemented. In fact, early on, I'm pretty sure I was vocally in favor of raw scoring. I think combo scoring is stupid anyway.

Still though, if you can do it without mashing, you'll beat the masher, provided you FC.

Re: FFR Mash scores

The best way I can explain it

Files which are:
Easy Hard Doable JustBeyondYourAbility ConceivablyDoable OMGWTFBBQLOLOLOL!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------^^^only mash here

The only thing anyone disagrees on is what constitutes OMGWTFBBQLOLOLOL! Even Dossar classes vROFL there.

To improve, you will practice on those in the Doable and JustBeyondYourAbility.

^ This. I used this "strategy" for most of my FGO FCs: Nomina Nuda Tenemus, Strawberry Sweetz, 11Eleven, Time To Eye, Across Rooftops, even the ending staircase of Pants because lol nerves. (I don't blame your instinct to not cheat patterns due to your extensive Stepmania experience: I do the same thing when I'm having a good PA run.)

It's when you have to mash through more or less the entire file that doing so becomes a problem. :/

Edit: Woo 3K post!

Re: FFR Mash scores

Just got this:


The 47 people whose score I just beat because they were too pussy to mash on a COMBO SCORING game can all go get owned.
Now I can go practice my PA just like everyone else, except I also have a ton of FCs


EDIT- hell yeah, #2 tonight



EDIT- lol I can probably FC this too. Real pro D grade

Re: FFR Mash scores

I see my analogy of FFR and Basketball was apparently not cool enough for this thread. Sweet.

Carry on...

But seriously, I don't think mashing should be encouraged. It is a "skill", but a skill that has very little to do with the purpose of FFR (hence my joke, just as throwing a ball at a backboard is a "skill" but does not help you play basketball).

"hey i'm mashing it must mean i will never improve"

Don't know why people get furious over scores that are mashed from beginning to the end of the stepfile. Why not? As said before, COMBO BASED SCORING.

it seems perfectly reasonable to treat mashing as a skill to develop such that when the player DOES get good he can apply it strategically to take down tricky/dense chunks of arrows more easily.

Finally someone gets it. Mashing can be taken to an advantage for some FGO stepfiles, or even outsmart any bad habits you have.
