Re: Some math

If so, hitting a perfect and a good are actually of the same chance..

Actually it's:

Miss
Good
Good
Perfect - Receptors here
Perfect
Perfect
Good
Average

Oh, my bad.

I didn't know there were two late Good frames. Interesting.

Thanks for the correction, TeRa.

Re: Some math

That makes calculation a lot easier.

So, getting all Goods and getting an AAA would be equally difficult.

Re: Some math

Also, I did some extra math, and my calculations said that ninjaKIWI's sig is larger than the distance from here to the sun. Interesting. When combined with tofurox's signature, the both of them are equivalent to the span of the Milky Way galaxy.

hahahahahaha

i never did think about this inn any of these ways...

Re: Some math

a AAA is exactly one twitch more difficult than a blackflag

Re: Some math

I somehow knew there are 2 late good frames. I'm just always confused by the diagrams people make in which the average frame is at the bottom of the diagram because I play reverse, so at first glance, you can get late averages, haha.

A terrific post. No, really. Those signatures are big.

The position of the Perfects versus Goods poses a new mathematical question: how does this proportion relate as to the way people hit the arrows? Some people hit the timing windows spot on, some people hug the back end of the perfect judgment (like me--I almost always get late goods when I do), while some people take the earlier side (which can give them averages too). It's really a lot of probability. =/

Re: Some math

I think that depends on how each person plays songs.

I won't dig into this problem any further since it's becoming really complex.

Re: Some math

When one plays a NORMAL song with 1500 notes, there are 1500 ways for him/her to blackflag it, while there is only one way to AAA it.


Thus, to AAA that song is 1500 times harder than to blackflag it, which is BS!!

only if you're equally likely to get a good or a perfect on any given note which is obviously not the case

(also at that point you'd almost never get a black flag anyway)

you'll be able to do proper calculations of this type when you get up to permutations and combinations & the binomial theorem in highschool math

and even then you'd have to assume that the chance of getting a perfect is a blanket probability, when it obviously isn't; harder parts are more likely to net goods and you also have to take into account mental blocks

Re: Some math

Argh...don't start with me about mental blocks. I had the biggest one on Boss Machine back when I played seriously: I knew the pattern, I knew where it was in the song, I just couldn't hit it. >_<

And after I got through that block and full comboed the song, I had the same problem in the same spot when trying to AAA it. DX

Re: Some math

where is a mathematician when you need one? my head hurts.
