FFR & The Human Potential

Re: FFR & The Human Potential

Combo scoring is ridiculous and should be removed. Someone could get a score of 500-1-0-1-0 but if that CB was at like 250 combo your score will end up keeping you in the high hundreds rank instead of top 200 or lower, as an example.

also there's no limit all it takes to be good now is to vibrate rofl

Re: FFR & The Human Potential

As for the complaint on the combo system: that is the definition of FFR. FFR should stay FFR and retain its major concepts and differences from other similar games. People who don't like the combo system don't like FFR. That is all.

Re: FFR & The Human Potential

because not liking one thing means not liking all of it. right.

One of FFR's major concepts. I didn't see the need to state the obvious. I mean the only reason people who don't like the combo system are here, is because that dislike is minor as compared to the rest of FFR's concepts.

Everyone is different. The songs can get infinitely harder and not everyone can get infinitely better. Some people are going to be able to get better then others no matter what. Same as any other sport.

Re: FFR & The Human Potential

Well isn't there a saying in physics or something that says "If you try to walk through a wall a million times, eventually you will"?

string theory ftw


but yea everyone has their physical limits

stupid chibi avatars, etc.

And I find those avatars ridiculous as well.

that hurts ;__;

Re: FFR & The Human Potential

string theory ftw

ah no
quantum mechanics describes, surprise surprise quantum level effects, your body is not an isolated system (aka it partakes in interactions) and therefore no quantum effects for you
and string theory has even less to do with it

also there is a hard skill cap related to the amount of matter and useful work available in the visible universe and how it can be best arranged into the perfect stepmania player and respective keyboard/computer

none of you will ever hit this but it's there (and rapidly decreasing as the universe expands)

"If you try to walk through a wall a million times, eventually you will"

K, have fun with that.

My opinion on this topic is the human physical skill cap is constantly being lowered, no matter how slow, by pollution, foresting etc lowering the amount of oxygen in the air which prevents the respiratory system from working as well as it would be able to. eg Midday's reference to the Olympic Games. Less oxygen = less efficient respiratory system = poorer performance.

Re: FFR & The Human Potential

Which is why nobody in the Olympics broke any records this year, right?

Do you seriously believe what you're writing?

Anyway, Olympic records will continue to be broken. Prodigies who are in the right place at the right time will always show up. We learn more and more about the human body every day, and training procedures get better and better as a result. We know what muscles to exercise for exactly how many minutes a day to achieve optimum performance. But science doesn't stop, and this knowledge will soon become a thing of the past. Bolt proved this year that records people thought nobody could beat can be easily broken. And oh he did it in a poor air quality environment with a little bit of a headwind.

I can't even begin to imagine that people think humans are less productive because of this notion of slightly less oxygen to breathe. Species learn to adapt to changes in climate. We have, and we can continue to adapt to these slight variations over time.

No, I just decided it would be fun to try and throw you off the scent.

Re: FFR & The Human Potential

I really don't know about skill caps, because I feel lightyears away from the brink of my potential. I feel that the more you play, the better you get. You recognize the patterns more easily, and your accuracy only rises, especially if you play on a higher judgment. I feel like there's always room for improvement.

Re: FFR & The Human Potential

As you get better your sure to slow down, in the rate at which you improve, but I believe there is always room for improvement.

Re: FFR & The Human Potential

i have to agree to some extent that there is always room for improvement, but you can only improve so much. its kind of like ffr playing styles, for insanely good one handers playing 1 handed is natural, i know that there is no way in hell no matter how much i played one handed, tens of thousands of games... could i ever become good at it, same with me and spread.. my left handed just isnt coordinated so no matter how much practice i did i dont think i could get any good, index is right for me. some people are just naturally better at this game and everyone has to deal with that, but there is always room for a little improvement no matter what style is your forte.

Re: FFR & The Human Potential

Why the hell did you think this is Critical Thinking?

Moved.

Also, find better ways to make a point. Nobody wants to read that wall of text.

Edit: It looks like your point is basically "all humans could do the same thing if given enough time to practice"

Wrong. It's all based on genetics.

Also you people look exactly the same. Blue names, stupid chibi avatars, etc. Thought you oughta know. I can't differentiate between any of you.

1.) If you read the small print at the bottom, it says along the lines that I'm sorry if this isn't CT.
2.) Thanks for the move.
3.) You could always go down to the last paragraph. Sorry for not stating that you could at the beginning.
4.) I respect that.
5.)Yes. >_>

Also, sorry if anyone got offended by this thread. Obviously it was not my intention, and I don't see why anyone would, but one member did and I'm guessing a couple more did, too. Perhaps one thought I said that anyone even with disabilites can get as good as someone without ones, but I didn't say. I said everyone excluding the ones with disabilites.

I just wanted to clarify that.

Re: FFR & The Human Potential

Skill is clearly an asymptotic function in FFR.


For each person it's different, so there basically is a limit to human potential. The limit, of course, depends on raw talent and genetics.
