Re: Benguin's (and Xel's!) Rates Tourney #2 (Registration Open)

Flash Player 27

thank youuuuuuu

it's less stable on 1.0 compared to 11 and 14 (both versions I normally use) but no abrupt pauses or massive frame skips every 20 seconds on rates, so I'll take it for sure

Wait, i thought flash only went up to like 12? Non rates work on my flash player up to about level 50 songs but still would like to be able to actually play/aaa songs not just do poorly XD

Glad to hear Hopefully that works as a solution for others as well that are having issues with lag/frame skips.

Ok so for the tournament you answered my question about the goods now on the first post does it mean " Misses/Averages/Boos are also ok as long as your raw score is equivalent to X goods or less." Does this mean that we can get as many misses/averages/boos as we want as long as we keep the goods lower than the amount it generated?

To answer your question, you're allowed to have averages/misses/boos, but only to a certain extent. Say for example, that the maximum raw score on a song is 23100. A score with 12 goods (and the rest perfects) would have a raw score of 23100 - (25*12) = 22800 so if the requirement was to get a score that was equivalent to 12 goods or better, you'd need to get a raw score of at least 22800. In order to help with this, I'll also post the equivalent raw score that you need to get for every round.


I'm going to borrow from Dossar's Concise Guide To FFR Scoring Types to help illustrate how you can determine how many goods your score is equivalent to:

Raw Scoring is the scoring type that is not affected by combo. Here is how it is calculated:
PERFECT = +50
GOOD = +25
AVERAGE = +5
MISS = -10
BOO = -5

This guide by itself won't tell you directly "how many goods are equivalent to one average" since it doesn't take into account the opportunity cost of the points that you're missing out on when you don't hit a perfect.

-For a good, you get a 25 points when you could have gotten 50 points for a perfect so you missed out on 25 points.
-Similarly for an average, you are missing out on 50-5 = 45 points
-For a miss, you miss the full 50 points for the perfect plus you get penalized 10 points for the actual miss for a total of 60 points that you're missing out on.
-You don't need to give up a perfect in order to get a boo, so you're just missing out on 5 points by hitting a boo.

Using this, we can calculate how much each judgement is in terms of goods in terms of the points that you're missing out on:
-1 good = 1 good
-1 average = (45 missed points)(1 good / 25 missed points) = 1.8 goods
-1 miss = (60 missed points)(1 good / 25 missed points) = 2.4 goods
-1 boo = (5 missed points)(1 good / 25 missed points) = 0.2 goods

Therefore, you're score is equivalent to getting X goods (with the rest perfects) where:

X = G + 1.8A + 2.4M + 0.2B

where G, A, M, and B are the number of goods, averages, misses, and boos in your score respectively.

You don't need to use this formula though, like I said, I'll post the equivalent minimum raw score that you'll need to achieve every round.

By the formula, an average is roughly 2 goods, a miss is roughly 2.5 goods, and there are 5 boos in a good so these rules of thumb can be used to quickly estimate how many goods your score is equivalent to.
