Compare Players

[tha Guardians]

I think they're should be a way you can immediately compare your stats with other players' to see what aspects of FFR you're better at and just get an idea of what kind of an edge you may have over a person or what that person may have over you.

I know there are a lot of competitive people on FFR that would love the idea, and a lot of non-competitive players that think this will just cause trouble.

Let me know what you think.

Re: Compare Players

im pretty sure this idea has been thrown around before

I think it would be pretty nifty

Re: Compare Players

Yea it has, a few times in FFR R1 General Talk, and subscribers forum as well.

Re: Compare Players

I think it would be cool...it reminds me of the Facebook app Compare People. Something like that would be neat.

Re: Compare Players

How would this work? What would be compared? Ideas, thoughts?

Re: Compare Players

I kinda like it but it'd most likely be inaccurate.

Re: Compare Players

A comparative of overall rank, average rank, regional rank... stuff like that would be pretty cool.

Yeah, except all of those things are inaccurate to your actual skill level.

Re: Compare Players

And tier ranking.
EDIT: Oh wait... there is no tier ranking then tier points.
EDIT: Yeah why is there no tier ranking?

Re: Compare Players

Overall rank/Grand total
Average rank
Tier points (maybe overall score for all users, and individual song scores for subscribers)
Individual song rankings (public privilege or for subscribers)
Perfect to good/avg/miss/boo ratio or something along those lines
Games played
Skill tokens
Tokens
Total credits/Secret songs
AAA's (public or non-public)
FC's (public or non-public)
Regional ranking
Total forum posts
Under rank 100 non-AAA's or non-FPC's
Total songs stepped for FFR/SiU/R2/Resonance
Total songs released for FFR/SiU/R2/Resonance (authors)
Word scramble points

The list goes on and on...

Re: Compare Players

Theres no real way to rank all of the good players by their skill though because so many of them stopped playing when the huge thing of new songs came out and... I dunno, I guess tier points are fairly accurate if I played all the songs. But I stopped caring about tier points too when they added all the token songs.

Re: Compare Players

They need to have it where you start a game count of say, 500 games. You play all 500 or however many to the best of your ability, and it totals up your points.

Of course you would have to play a preset list :/

That's off topic though. What do you all think of the idea of comparing players? I know it may not reflect skill accurately, but I still think it would be fun.

That'd actually be accurate... Like have all of the good players play like a set list of 10 songs 3 times each or so and then rank them off of that. since 30 songs is like nothing no one should be too lazy to do it.

Re: Compare Players

Well, actually the best indicator imo is the lvlrank of each players.

Total of AAA's on every songs difficulty could be a good start.

D1: 34
D2: 11
D3: 22
..
D8: 17
D9: 5
D10: 2
(so you can see that the player have trouble to AAA's 9-10 footers and that you're not facing someone who got Otaku Oni by example with bad stats)

The "gap" between each songs of the 2 lvl ranks for the non-AAA's.

Example:

Player A got rank 122 on Silence
Player B got rank 272 on Silence

gap is 150.

(The margin should be customizable so we can adapt it to something accurate)
Green: 0-99
Yellow: 100-199
Red: 200+

Player A Silence would be in green. (Don't have much to fear)
Player B Silence would be in yellow. (Need to be carefull)

Yeah, but if you had an off day or if you've improved, you can reset your rank and retry.

I agree. Subtract Player 1's rank on this song from Player 2's rank.

Player one's song rank (person comparing): 120
Player two's song rank: 220
Rank difference: -100

Player one's song rank (person comparing): 1240
Player two's song rank: 640
Rank difference: +600

Player one's song rank (person comparing): 1
Player two's song rank: 1
Rank difference: 0

The lower the better. Hopefully this wouldn't apply for just public songs, but oh well if it's too much trouble to get Token, Skill Token, Subscriber, Secret, and Purchased songs included. If they were included, however, then there should be a "Calculate Total Difference" button, or a "Calculate Average Difference Button" (preferably both).

Total Difference: +13,427
or
Total Difference: -1,244
or, if by some weird coincidence
Total Difference: 0

Average Difference: +37
or
Average Difference: -158
or
Average Difference: 0
