overall rank?

[fusi0n]

yeah cuz grand total is a great representation of skill.

[ZEROED]

Damn I'm ranked 249 and I haven't been on here in months.

Weird.

And oh yeah, how the hell did Jimerax get nearly a billion more points than Nima in 5000 fewer games?

Nima plays a level, as soon as he gets good, average, miss or boo, he quits it.

He prolly spent a lot of games looking for secret arrows too.

For Kilgamayan, I'm ranked 9th, that's one of yur holes on the list of top 10... but I agree that it's not the best of representations of skill cuz I definitely know there's more than 8 ppl who're better than me...

[ZEROED]

lol why is your sig synth's?

[Origamikid]

whoops sry... I copied the thing from synthlight's post... lol, forgot to change the username to myself... =P

[fusi0n]

i was being sarcastic

[dunnski007]

i realize i have tonnes of games played.. but when i sucked i played so much.. and never got good for a long long time. and also i think i had a crappy friend playing in my account at the same time. and if your going to make it averaged, then some1 like nima or reach or some1 can make a new account.. and then just play like a few perfect songs.
btw i am rank 25.. but i cant get that stupid sig. to work. if some1 could msg me how to

[jazzmosis]

I'm 342 right now.

Okay, this is the way rank SHOULD work....

Best Rank on a song is an indication of how good a player is at beating that one song compared to everyone else. So to come up with an indication of how good a player is at FFR compared to everyone else:

Add up the best rank on every song for a player.

The only real disadvantage is that a player won't be ranked very well until they've cleared every song. But you don't deserve a good ranking until you can clear every song, so the point is moot.

It's simple, fair, and i'm fairly sure it will be easy to implement. It's just addition.

Okay, I'll add you in.

I already suggested that wth. :'(

Whoever asked about Reach, he's 26th.

Maybe I should try and figure it on points per game on average?

The problem with that is beginners are penalized for how long it takes them to learn. Plus people who play long songs have an advantage. A pro could take advantage by reseting his/her account and playing one great run.

My suggestion (though this might be a strain on bandwidth) is to take the best score the player has gotten in each of the songs, add them all up, and then compare that total.

This way, only high scores improve your total, and if you were to go and, er.. drink and then play some FFR, your ranking wouldn't decrease (well, only if other players rank up from behind)

I hope that makes sense.

EDIT: This differs from the above post in that it adds up scores instead of ranks. The differences are subtle; first, if someone hasn't played all of the songs, they'd be no way to get ranks for those songs.

Second, harder songs should have more impact. Harder songs potentially give higher scores, which would make more of a difference if scores were added rather than rankings.

Once again, I hope that makes sense.

if you get one person who hacked all the songs for a high score though (like Nima(jk)) then that'll push back everyone's ranking.

[jimerax]

I just played much.. is the rank based on grandtotal?

[ZEROED]

yes it is, and your #1 O_o

Good point, but those people should be... hopefully easy to spot... I hate hackers
