I have two questions that just popped into my head. If third style is going to have holds, won't that mean there can't be a boo system? Unless it's different than it is now holds = boos. If it's made so that boos are completely taken out then it ends up being like stepmania, i.e. you can't mash or boo out of a song if you get angry lol.

2nd question: When third style is released, R1 will still be updated and treated the same way as it is now?

[Wootsicle]

Third style IS R1.. It isn't called R3, it's called Third Style.. R1 is slowly becoming 3rd style..

And I hope they don't add holds =X

There most likely won't be holds. It would change the entire structure of the game concerning scoring.

Not only that, but looking at things from a coding angle, I would expect it to require a totally new way of working things, much like R2 works things in a totally different way.

Personally, now that speed mods are out, I don't think this stuff really matters much. I would like to see a frames per second boost, but it doesn't really matter.

Keep the faith, brothers.

See, I know why it hasn't come yet, but I'm not at liberty to discuss it. It is coming, though. I know that much. Just make sure you contribute to FFR. Subscribe, buy a T-Shirt, and support positively. The more you do, the sooner 3rd Style will arrive.

[uberaver876]

Well, R1 is becoming R3, just like Wootsicle said. There were going to be speed mods, and there now is. Just watch. Maybe when scottish gives a date that actually exists, 3rd style MIGHT come out...

What the hell.

3rd Style is on hold because we don't support FFR enough?

Also: I've given more than anyone why don't I know anything about this

Don't forget to drink your ovaltine.

[Litodude]

Took 3 years for it to be released, eh?

Hope it'll come out and blow us all away.

I don't think freezes are necessary. I think the biggest problems that need to be addressed are 1. av misses and other lag related miss issues like framers and jacks ect 2. scoring system 3. fps boost (which would probably help with #1 D

I'm hoping for an FPS boost, that's for sure. Ditching combo scoring would be smart. Dance point style scoring is the most effective IMO and *gasp* it wouldn't be like sm style machine score either. Obviously dealing with the problems with the engine that cause av misses and framer misses among other things are tough to work out but would improve the quality of ffr exponentially.

It's funny to read this thread and all the controversy of it's topics. You'd think, with 1.36 million members, Synth would be inclined to give a detailed report of the progress of 3rd style himself, which included a proposed release date, in a front page news post. *only about 400,000 of those I'd guess really wonder about 3rd style and about 2,500 really strive for it ;D* But what do I know, I'm not an admin so I can't torture the members about it's release. I'M ONE THAT IS GETTING TORTURED DAMMIT! Please out of the mercy from your heart, Synth, Scott, LD, Char, or Tass, Xelius too, PLEASE PLEASE give everyone an idea about 3rd style's progress. Detailed too preferably, no joke 2 word answers or false dates. I would like to see a specific date in the format of XX/XX/XXXX and the progress, listing out each feature and such, given they are not classified and I know that not ALL features are classified. If it suits your guys secretive needs, imply what the features are then. Sheesh, apparently we all ask too much of the admins in this project to give us an update on it.

yea what the hell you motherfuckers

update asap k thanks

Hmm...perhaps jack syndrome can be fixed. The current system gives priority to the timing windows of the second arrow of a jack - the more recently spawned arrow. However, what about assigning a numerical tag to every arrow in a song? The first arrow is marked 1, the second marked 2, and so forth. Then create an argument: "If a keypress at this frame would activate two arrows, the arrow with the lesser numerical tag is activated". This would give priority to the first arrow of a jack. Probably way easier said than done, but it appears to make sense.
