Meh, I remember 1st style so stop acting like you're the only one who played FFR back in its infant stage when we only had like 4 songs. My opinion? Take out the frickin Boos for pressing a step when there are no arrows. I know you fanatics are gonna say,"No! That makes the game more original!" Like hell it does. It only makes it less enjoyable. Also its easy as hell to mash a song like Balloon Fever and beat someone due to it.

Either make boos kill your life bar a whole lot more than they do or have boos affect your points in a progressive way (every extra boo on a song loses you even more points). Then boowhoring would decrease your score.
Combo scoring is lame, we need to tone that down

I like the ideas of noteskins, the 12th, 24th, and 32nd noteskin correction, using Chardish's difficulty system, and fixed challenges. I think these will add to the enjoyment of the game.

As for the Boos, I don't think they should be removed. They help prevent button-mashing, and I think it is a unique characteristic of the game.

Although I'd like to use speed mods in this game, I don't think they should be added. It is also another unique characteristic of this game. As others say, there is a challenge of registering a high score with a preset scroll speed. Plus, speed mods only help very little when it comes to helping clear a song. They space out the arrows for you, but you'd still have to recognize the patterns to effectively use it. The real ability to clear a song is executing the steps, such as jacks. But, if speed mods come into 3rd Style, perhaps they could just be limited to things like C100, C200, C300 (or possibly C50 lol), etc.?

I hope that the credits will be more usable in 3rd Style. I'd like the idea of many more unlockable songs in the Purchased and Secret sections. Unlockable noteskins would be pretty cool, too for the fun factor.

Umm...sorry for the long post. ^_^;;

The only question I have is when can we be expecting to play it? In other words when will it be coming out?

[Nyokou]

I want to know the same thing that cloud321 asked.

I just want the option of key re-mapping. (Yup, give those people who use spread in SM something to hope for, like me!)

is third style going to be ready by the end of this year?

All along Synth has been saying it'll be out this fall.

Well, it's fall now.

Anyway, I wouldn't be worried unless it gets to be December 21 and it's still not out yet.

I worry all the time. About everything. I put the lids of cans I open in baggies, so they won't hurt me.

PS: Third Style is going to rock.

I say make boos take off 330 points (like misses do) instead of 20. And ditch the combo scoring.

I think those changes would make everything better.

RE: Re: RE: The official 3rd Style thread

Wow, 6 pages and no one corrected some stuff on page 2.

Though it's almost like a dead issue in the thread now, bandit wasn't talking about getting rid of the boos. He was talking about making the system only register one key if you hold a button down. It fixes the problem with jacks not working.

Boos should stay, unless the jack thing can't be worked out otherwise. I just think they're a neat touch.

Speedmods I'm impartial on. I might get bumped off of some of the PA battles in easy songs, but I'll probably get up on some of the hard stuff I'm not right now. I don't really feel like they're a critical addition, but I don't think they will "ruin the R1 feel" or whatever.

Noteskin issues need to be addressed, obviously. Get rid of the combo scoring. It's just ugh awful.

RE: Re: RE: The official 3rd Style thread

Like I said before, combo scoring is one of the things that make FFR what it is. It's not supposed to be a DDR or Stepmania clone. I think the combo scoring has to stay.

[Rebirth0]

RE: Re: RE: The official 3rd Style thread

Combo scoring needs to stay. At times I don't like it, but it's one of the few things that make FFR R1 unique. Keep combo scoring.

Speedmods, as much as I've always wanted them in FFR R1 we don't need them. Don't make speedmods, just raise the speed from C300 to C400 or something.

Boos, need to stay.

All songs need noteskins too. About 50% of the songs need to be synced better as well.



My main question right now is: Once 3rd style comes out, will there be a bunch of new songs added?

[Tps222]

RE: Re: RE: The official 3rd Style thread

Will the size be any bigger with all the bg's? Or does it stay the same?

[chickendude]

RE: Re: RE: The official 3rd Style thread

Tone down combo scoring, but keep it.. perhaps

make combo x500 instead of x1000 or something
Would that work?
