The official 3rd Style thread

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

the challenge should not come from reading the arrows. it should come from the steps.

oh and boohoo... more people will be able to read one minute waltz. hence more competition. which is a good thing.

thats true and i agree speed mods are the way to be.(try doning reality on 6X speed on heavy even on 3x its really hard for me to read.)

What do I think? I think the bigger the combo, the more an anime charachter strips for j00.

That's genius.

Sigh. When will you all learn that FFR R1 is not DDR?

Original parts of FFR that need to stay:

The boos.
The competitive ranking (no letter grades).
Scoring based on combo.
C300 on all songs.

Many of you never saw 1st Style. I knew 1st Style while it was online, and saw it change to 2nd Style. If there were changes in the setup as far as the game core itself, I didn't notice. It focused on graphics change, and addition of new features such as the shop and challenges. At least, as far as I can remember.

Combo scoring is by far the worst part of FFR. Someone can get all goods with averages and boos with an FC, and if I get halfway with all perfects, get one miss, then get the other half all perfect, the other person will still win. Total BS.

I remember first style

the difference is that it became 10x easier to boowhore
the judge went down a ton
boos were added, they were considered misses in 1st style (and they broke your combo)
That was what made 1st style hard, boos broke your combo
I actually liked that interface better, but there wasn't enough room =\

I also like the competetive ranking system better than letter grades

No. Aside from the ranking thing, and maaaybe the c300 thing, i disagree with you. Combo scoring and boos make the game extremely easy to mash at so unless you're an very good played you're going to lose against a noob who knows how to mash if you're not mashing. The boo system and the combo scoring aren't part of the feel of FFR, they're problems that need to be fixed.

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

I think they should keep the boos but make them do something more drastic

like maybe if you get two boos without hitting an arrow the first one makes the life go down 1, second makes it go down 2, 3rd makes it go down 3 etc

so you can't boowhore through a song, but boos still make your life go down

also I think it would be cool if they made boos end your combo
that would end all mash high scores

this sounds a lot like first mix now that I look at it <_<

Timing window was changed, and the boos were added.

By the way, I invented boos, way back in the day. My idea. Whee. I will never grow tired of taking credit for that.

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

now take the blame for all the boowhoring <_<
actually, we really need to limit on the boowhoring, make boos hurt your life more, or have boos be progressive or something, because boowhoring is too easy

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

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.

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

I wish everything on FFR stayed the same, because I love how FFR is. If I wanted speed mods, no boos, and etc. I'd just play Stepmania. I like FFR because it is different than the rest, and never gets boring.

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

I was gonna say something about it, but StarOcean got to it first...

The combo scoring system NEEDS to be changed... I can think of numerous NUMEROUS times where I could get almost ALL perfects, but then miss an arrow in the middle of the song or somewhere, and then the other person could just have a shitload of boos and goods, but full combo the song or get a slightly higher combo, and win? Not cool... Total BS...

Along with the 'hidden arrow' glitches that few people know about... And then when you do the trick, you'll have 3 more arrow combo than anyone else and you'll automiatically win, even if your timing on the song sucked...

Yeah... I'm with StarOcean... Combo scoring is BS... I remember when Boos were implemented back in the day, but this Combo scoring thing is what needs to be changed...

I've also heard some otherreally good ideas though too... I'm really looking forward to 3rd Style if everything what we had all dreamed about comes true in this version...

As for the whole speed mod debate... I think it should be implemented... There are A LOT of really REALLY good players out there that deserve to be on the high score list, or at least able to compete in it, but most people play on faster scroll speeds and just aren't able to read the piles of arrows that come onto the screen... And some people say that players with faster scroll speeds would be able to get into the high score list easier... Well... Good... It takes a lot of practice and training and time to be able to read faster scroll speeds... You have to work your way up to it... Give me ONE person... ONE noob... That would be able to FC even MARIO at x4 or C700... Not possible... You have to practice...

Yeah... Kinda long rant... But I hope all of you get my point...

Well... At least until speed mods are implemented... There is always the sudden option...

except make boos -1000 pts so even if you do mash yea you'll get a high combo but it won't add to you highscore that much... probably hurt it more than help
