Suggestion (MISS/BOO MERGE)

Um...as it stands, you lose 310 for a miss and 20 for a boo, and get 100 points for each step in your combo.

While this does allow for something like mashing to be a successful way to get a high combo and thus a high score, that is a fundamental design decision that they made to differentiate the game and its scoring system from other similar games.

Calling a boo a miss doesn't actually change anything, increasing the point penalty for a boo to equal that of a miss would completely destroy the feasibility of mashing, especially since a boo counting as a miss would also break your combo.

But since a legitimate, accurate FC of a song will always score higher than a mashed FC of a song, there's no real reason to make such a change.

If you lost no points for boos at all, there would be a problem since you could mash your way to the top scores, instead of the top scores of people who aren't good enough to just hit the arrows cleanly.

I booflagged Cosmic Orchestra, an't no way I want that boo to look like I missed.

So what you're trying to say is that boos should be combo breakers?
Hah, I believe it use to be that way. How about not?
You aren't going to get a "good" rank with a mashed score, anyway.

Compare -20 points per boo in FFR to -no penalty whatsoever- on pretty much every other similar game...

there was a reason that i ignored your IMs when you brought this to me.

See there's your problem. Instead of ignoring, you should gain the supernatural power to reach through computer screens and slap people.
