Default Re: 11th Official Tournament - Round 1

I'd be really curious to see what percentage of the 1.9 million users we have actually logged a score on an FFR song in the last say, six months. I would guess no more than 5000.

I'd give you half that

Without the OT, daily users online varies within 250-400 players, though who knows if they play or just view forums, etc.

I would have to assume that a small fraction of the 1.9 mil is bot accounts, especially where the last few months they have spawned rapidly

I'd say between bots, and permabanned but not deleted accounts, it's more than a small percentage.

There's also a good possibility that the number up in the top right just increments whenever an account is created and isn't coded to also decrement if an account is deleted/removed/permabanned.

"above" average can mean a lot of things, but im going to assume you mean around D3. took me about a year to go from D1 to D2 (technically), then 2 weeks to go from D2 to D3. really depends on how much time and effort you put into it.

ayyyyy

I went from complete beginner to AAAing FMO's in 6 months. I didn't even know how to "train" properly. I just screwed around for like 2 hours a day

Completely off topic but does anyone know if there's a smooth running standalone flash player working on windows 10 yet? I want to upgrade but not if it wrecks my standing in the official.

tbh ive tried every standalone FP from 9-21 and none of them really worked for me on windows 10. simple view seemed to be much more stable than standalone.

I just read up on this but if you wouldn't mind checking this before I upgrade it would be much appreciated. AJ says that using a direct link on chrome for any engine worked great and that he used flash player 21.

requires quite a bit of experimenting :P fp 9 runs like total shit for me on windows 10 even though people say it runs the best for them, idk. I played around with them until i found one that worked well. i get occasional lag spikes (like once every ~100 plays or so) but nothing that really impacts play much.

oh, its quite hard! i think a lot of how people improve at this game is that they go for scores with very few "boos", so that they are trying to hit every single note instead of guessing at the most difficult sections
