Formula for scoring

[evilbutterfly]

how exactly is your score tallied? as far as i can tell, max combo affects it, but i'm not sure how and how much. if anybody knows the actual formula for figuring out the score, please tell me (it's so i know what i need to work on for higher scores).

thanks in advance.

In game scoring:
50 points per perfect
25 points per good
5 points per average
-5 points per boo
-10 points per miss

Post game score calculation:
add these:
Perfects * 500
Goods * 250
Averages * 50
Boo * -15 (i think)
Miss * -300
Max combo * 1000
add together those and your in game score, and that will give you your total..the underlined Max Combo shows why Max Combo is very emphasized (too emphasized in my and many people's opinion).

Because misses are more lethal the closer to the middle of the song you are.

oh, ok. that explains why i'll get 1 miss in a song and have 75% of the #1, and if i get them all but less perfects i get 99%
