    Maybe make a nofail mode?

    Like, if some people want to practice some specific parts, like two arrows of the song, like me, and want it so they cant fail out when they try to practice.

    Maybe you could have a box that you could tick saying: Practice Mode? (Will not Record.) Is this a good idea/can it or will it be able to implement? Will the admins want to have this?

      This is a relatively good idea. However I would suggest creating a seperate flash game, that doesn't update the database at all, that gets updated with new songs. Then you just play it, and your "# of practise runs" on each song goes up.

      SO I guess it would connect to the database, but it wouldn't be hackable. Unless someone wants to AAA a practise song.

        That would take up WAY too much space, and it's basically a bigger version of my idea..

          honestly, we like having EVERYTHING record.... it's good for the user, as it improves their total games played and grand total score (bigger the numbers, bigger the penis, rite?). it's also good for the site, as it improves our total gameplays per day, which is a number we use to help get new artists and advertisers for the site.

          while i do see the positives out of this, i think it still is a minor thing to do that would only potentially hurt those all important numbers more than it would help in other aspects.

          another thing you could do... you could play along with your replay.

              But unless we (FFR) kept a record of the "practices". Some new person could come to the site and do a bunch of practices and become really good, then start playing normally and AAAing VD's or harder stuff right off the bat. Somebody that does this will surely be called BS by the FFR community because, how do we know he/she has spent countless hours practicing before ever becoming noticed?

              I would not support this at all, unless there was a record kept of games played.

                Yeah and instead of using your keyboard, use your desk for high tap effect.

                  They could have maybe played Stepmania, or have another account here. You can't really call BS on something like that, well not with any valid cause.

                  I don't think that takes away from the idea, but, the best way to practice something is just to do it, regardless of whether or not your games are recording.

                    I can only vibrate on a laptop so that helps =)

                      I think that there should not be failing at all. I think that no matter how badly you do, you would be allowed to play the whole song. There would be [something similar to] an autofail button if you wanted to quit the song that you were playing. That way, you have the possibility to score higher or lower than you could with failing.

                        well if we would get through all the song that would possibly break so many of the skill tokens
