Define a "Good" player.

[ArbiterPriest56]

And again: I thank you all for your imput
thus far. Given me a lot to mull over.

[gold stinger]

I'd say you're a good player when you can go play FFR on public computers and attract attention to yourself.

[popsicle_3000]

i'd say good = D2 and up

[ilikexd]

I used to think I was good 5 years ago when I could pass (almost) any song (regardless of how much mashing and how few perfects I got). People were always amazed when they watched me. Then I quit for five years. I recently got into DDR and consequently StepMania which made me remember FFR, I've been playing it again for around a week. Seeing some of the scores and watching some of the replays of people getting AAAs or SDGs on extremely difficult 11-13s and almost all the "good" players AAAing everything else definitely gave me a new idea of "good". I no longer consider myself "good", even considering the fact that 90% of players are probably very casual and could not even pass a 7+. I can with ease FC with 5% or less greats any 8 or lower and most 9-10s after a bit of trying. But I can't get any respectable scores on 12-13 without mashing for combo points (a score system which I find GREATLY flawed).

My opinion

[Herogashix]

ez def; if you can DDG a FGO, you're good.

[V-Ormix]

well depends who your comparing yourself to, but you should try to be as good as you yourself can be, not better then some one else. so if FC'ing VC's is good for you then thats good, and you are a good player for your standards.

But depending on where you are, those standards can be pretty low... I used to draw a crowd back in the day playing CIA Rave.

I like this definition because it makes me feel like a good player. haha!

But really, good is a relative term.

I think playing the game regularly, improving, and being active in the forums makes you a good player. (Geez, by my own definition I'm terrible :<) Obviously there's always someone better out there somewhere, and the only thing you can really do is work to improve yourself as best you can.

You shouldn't really be concerned with how others view your skill, as much as you should how you view yourself. Don't label yourself a bad player just because you cant get X goods on a song, just be happy with what you can do and practice until you can do better.

I say that because if you can't DDG a FGO, your skill isn't at that range. Anyone who can play FGOs is good in my opinion, but a DDG on a FGO file is what everyone who sucks aims for. So, instead of saying "go sdg rage template nub then ur good", it gives the player more hope to attain the score. Besides, SDG on Rage Template is godly.
Anyone who says you have to get sub 50 Goods on a FGO file to be good, needs to die.

Sorry I had to say it

You are a great player actually, quit raising the standards if your good then I'm mediocre and I don't like that

[popsicle_3000]

I'll lower the standards then. I'm a good player

[i will pwn u]

^^ Baaaaziiiinnnnnnnggggaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

[PrawnSkunk]

I say if someone can play CIA Rave or AAA without breaking a sweat, they are considered through my eyes as a good player.

From then on, it's what makes them an exceptional player.

I go by the this to define good:
http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...evel_tiers.php

EDIT:
I believe if you can get at least 100 tiers by that..
You are considered good.

[Xiz]

Better yet -

If you know how to shuffle - your good.

Just sayin'

Yes indeed this is the old TP list. I have all but 30 from this list and until I max it out I will define myself only as good/decent.

[Riotpolice]

Well, everything is relative if you want to define a good player. If you compare players like myself to the average person, it is obvious that I am good, even attracting attention to myself by others watching me play at lunch, in school, or whatnot. Then again, you compare me, a D4 player, to someone in D6, well you can expect that I would suck against one of those players! I would be terrible! Therefore, being a good player is relative, and it all depends on how you score against others/how you play.

Whoa I never knew about this. Yay I have >0 on this list

But yes "good" is a relative term. In my opinion you become good when you get the Heavy token, but I still have a while to go before I get that.
