    Re: Define a "Good" player.

    Good is really subjective. The average player in the casual gaming pool on FFR probably still has occasional trouble FC'ing 5's. For example, if you FC a 7 or 8 in front of a group of people that have never played the game, they'll think you're some god for being able to do so. Also, considering the fact that it took me FOREVER to get my first AAA (it was a year after I made my account on Power), I think being able to AAA anything, particularly anything 3 or above, would make someone a good player in the eyes of the average person walking down the street. Also, even passing a song without mashing is a good indicator of skill. If you told a random friend who's never played FFR to play Flight of the Bumblebee with less than x amount of boos (this allows minimal mashing), then chances are, they'll either fail out of the song or go over the boo count limit. So even being able to pass some fmo's and fgo's would make someone in the eye's of the average person "good." I can AAA songs that my friends probably couldn't even pass, so I'd consider myself "good", although that doesn't mean that there's no room for improvement however.

    In my opinion:

    Good:
    -FC'ing 8's or higher
    -Passing 11's and 12's
    -AAA'ing 3's or higher

    Pro:
    -can pass every song in game (with a possible exception on vrofl)
    -can AAA 9's or higher (I'm using this benchmark since the amateur scores thread only allows lvl 8 AAA's and below)
    -can FC 11's or higher

    Elite:
    -can AAA FMO's
    -can FC almost every song in the game (with the exception of 13's and high-end 12's)

    God-Tier (this tier has it's own sub-tier since FGO's encompass a wide range of difficulty, but I won't go there)
    -can AAA FGO's, nuf said

        It's also important to be able to have fun on other files too. If you're constantly mashing for combo scoring, well, I wouldn't consider that a good approach to the game.

            Re: Define a &quot;Good&quot; player.

            To be considered "good" in my opinion: If you can at least AAA a song legitimately on FFR. (Even if it is excite bike)

            To be considered "great" in my opinion: If you are able to BF/AAA files with consistency. (In other words, if you can AAA excite bike several times in a row and any other song, I would consider you a "great" player).

            To be considered a "pro" in my opinion: If you can at least AAA a FMO (even if it does not unlock Oni).

            To be considered a "sick" player in my opinion: AAA a FGO.

            To be considered better then me on FFR: Just sup my average rank LOL

              The majority of stepfiles that accurately follow the song (in the current spread-style way of stepping) are in the VC range. So if you can AAA VCs you can do the majority of the content, which makes you good, imo.

                  Wow yeah. I actually wrote it completely as a joke, but now that I think about it.... it is kinda true! I guess that emphasizes the fact that "good" is very subjective.

                      Re: Define a &quot;Good&quot; player.

                      To me being "good" refers more to your improvement rate, rather than your actual skill atm. I'd be more impressed with a player who e.g. AAAs FMOs in a year of playing rather than having someone who played for say, 10 years and getting his first couple of FGOs

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

                              Re: Define a &quot;Good&quot; player.

                              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
