FFR stat bars

[DivynE]

No, I already know you have to have rank 1 on the song to get an AAA on the stat bar.

Posting this because I think they should be recoded to the old "Get the freaking AAA then show up on the stat bar." Why does it have to be rank 1? The person who it would only benefit is probably MrRubix, and I think he's the only one who requested it.

So many people complain about how they AAA (insert easy song name here) and it doesn't show up. It's tiring going to all the treads and random thoughts and telling the what happens.

Doesn't that worry the newbies? Think back to when you got your first AAA (talking to the people who didn't play DDR/stepmania before FFR). You finish the song, you know you AAA, then the highscore pops up on the results screen, and you go "F*** YEAH"

Isn't that enough? Having not even FC'd OMW and having it show up on the stat bar is like having a hacked score and going out to say you're the best at it.

I don't think Rubix even cares even more. He didn't state "filling up my stat bars fully" as an achievement on his signature. He simply considers average rank 1 to be an achievement.

The majority of you out there may be thinking "Nah, this kid doesn't know what he's talking about." You're just saying "Keep the bars the way they are just because Rubix said so.

However, any legitimate reason of why this suggestion is retarded is gladly appreciated.

Re: FFR stat bars

Can you just really quick explain that, so you want rank 1 scores that arent AAA'd recorded?, sumthing like that.

I don't really see how it only benefits Rubix. If anyone were to benefit from it, it would have to be people with hacked scores.

I don't think it's difficult to change the definition of AAA on that bar at all.

I don't really understand what your post is getting at (could just be that I am tired), but I would rather that the AAA bars be a bit more accurate.

EDIT: Ok, I read it more carefully. Never have I advocated the rank-1 style as being the ideal gauge for these stat bars. In fact, I've always advocated having them be ACCURATE because I was tired of people constantly asking me "what songs I had left to AAA" because the numbers were jumping around the whole time.

Consider Lethal Injection:

Even though, currently, there is an obviously hacked score, it correctly records the number of AAA's. Whatever code is doing this can be applied directly to the stat bars. A rank 1 counting as AAA/FC is really a sloppy way to go about coding it. It's an easy way to get it up and running, but it needs to be upgraded. A FC should be a true FC and an AAA should be a real AAA.

Explanation to others: The reason why the rank-1 system only benefits me is because I have rank 1 on the currently non-AAA'd songs like Demon Fire, GGC, etc etc. So those songs count as AAA for me under the current system. Under a more accurate system, nobody would have anything for those songs because they haven't been AAA'd yet, although they have been FC'd.


tl;dr version: I'd rather have the bars be accurate and actually report a full combo as a full combo and a max possible score as an AAA. Anyone who tells you differently is putting words in my mouth.

Exactly. Do you think they deserve that AAA?
