So.. Rank?

[TrixyMoo]

Right, I'm a bit of a n00b to be honest with you.
I'm wondering, what do you consider a 'good' rank and score?
I'm still not sure what's good. xD

Also, is anyone else addicted to Snake Devil? It's an Easy, but it's just so.. Fun :3

Re: So.. Rank?

It depends on the person and his/her skill.

AAA'ing an FMO song isn't very good for some people, and FC'ing a Standard song is pretty good for some people.

Re: So.. Rank?

Get an average rank of 1 and you're good, or FC Death Piano, idk.

Re: So.. Rank?

At the top end you have tier points to measure skill, below that its far more subjective. I have found that improving is far more fun and achievable then being labelled as good.

Re: So.. Rank?

Improving IS fun... :3
I'm currently only just venturing into the 'Easy' difficulty. xDDDD

Re: So.. Rank?

just have fun..... the competition amongst the elite is just insane. try to FC songs, try to AAA some of the easiest ones.... practice, improve.... you'll get better.

the top people have been playing FFR/SM for 3-4+ years, at least.

Welcome, just enjoy yourself.

Re: So.. Rank?

Yeah, this game isn't about being the "best". Just have fun and focus on improving yourself. I am pleased when I beat my best score on a song. I know that I'll never be able to compete with the elites because I haven't been playing long enough and I've got too many outside obligations, but I'm still content to just improve my personal skills. That's what it's all about.

Re: So.. Rank?

You can probably stop killing yourself trying to improve once you can FC a Challenging song. It wouldn't kill you to go a little farther though, if you can't tell by my profile, I'm a FCtard myself. *coughs 497/503* ahem.. I really need to get that cough checked out.

Re: So.. Rank?

Not sure honestly but im in the top 20,000 trying to be in the top 10,000, There are barely any songs I cant beat but I cant AAA any really hard ones yet.

Id say im about "average"

Re: So.. Rank?

I don't really like judging people's skills, because 1) I don't really know what "good" is either. and 2) I have friends who've AAAd Challenging songs on their first game ever... which really screwed my sense of skill up.

What everyone else said, basically. Have fun. Enjoy improvement.

Me personally: I've played FFR for 4 years now (with a 2 year hiatus, between the time that Chrono Trigger was still on FFR, and when skill tokens came out.). I look back and remember when I was amazed by my first FC, Crystalis House Leaves Remix. Now I can AAA Sympathizer. Things like that just make me want to play this game even more.

Instead of judging people by skill, I consider "good" people to be people who have enjoyed putting forth the effort in trying to get better at this game with diligent persistence. I consider "bad" people to be people who make fun of FFRans and the game itself because they couldn't AAA Free Space on their first try or so, or people who constantly complain of not being able to get any better.

Re: So.. Rank?

Woah.... I guess I SUPER suck! I've been on for 1.39 years.... Played 600 someodd games, have a 32k rank, and have FC standard and tricky songs yet.... My Average rank is STILL 0... Is there a certain song I have to beat on something to get average 1?

Someone help meh?

Re: So.. Rank?

You have to go to your levelrank page to update your average rank. The bar graph in your profile has a link right in it telling you to go there to update.

First of all, you don't suck; you just haven't devoted much time to playing FFR. Secondly, it's pretty much impossible to get an average rank of 1 unless you are INSANE *cough*Rubix*cough*. Essentially, to have any hope of getting an average rank of 1 you must be able to AAA every song except for... I think four really insane songs that not even Rubix can AAA.
