Combos

[spm515]

What do you get from having a combo? Any bonus points involved for large ones?

Nope.

The scoring system is as follows:

550 points per perfect (50 for raw scoring)
275 points per good (25 for raw scoring)
55 points per average (5 for raw scoring)
-310 points per miss (-10 for raw scoring)
-20 per boo (-5 for raw scoring)

and

+1000 per arrow in your max combo (if you FC a song with 1k notes, then you get a 1 million point boost!)

Raw scoring is the score that shows up on the bottom of your game screen. The other scoring is calculated when you finish a song.

So basically, FC = good stuff

Yes an FC is good stuff ^_^

it feels like there's a bit TOO much weight on combo, though.

A player who mashed their way to a higher combo in a song like Death Piano would get more points than the one who hit much more accurately and got a lower combo.

I do too. The system really could use a reworking because there are mashed scores outweighing scores that have pretty decent PA but the combo may not be high enough. There's a lot of my ranks that I can't improve right now because somehow or another at some point I had gotten a decent combo but terrible PA and now I can get much better PA but keep screwing up combo wise and I really don't want to mash lol.

That might cause an uproar for people who sincerely FCed FMOs and FGOs without mashing.
