Stepmania Ladder

Stepmania Ladder (Trial Run)

tl;dr To be ranked, play songs shown below. PM me your scores or post on this thread or they won't be counted, I have also made a form submission if you want to help me out a bit https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...QmlPVDdUdUE6MQ.
MinesOn please, but mines hit don't affect your score calculation. For higher level players, try the rates ladder.
If you have time, feel free to give me suggestions & answer my questions out to all of you below.

Deadline for scores is July 8, 2012 11:59PM EST

[Overview]
Welcome to the Stepmania Ladder trial run. The purpose of this thread is to introduce new, more recent files into scoring among the stepmania community and to foster a greater sense of competition between both high and low tier players (blah blah blah aids aids play songs pls).

The idea is basically this: every 2-3 weeks, a set of files will be unveiled to participants. Participants will play the files and try to best each other. The rating we will be using is DP-marv (reference here http://www.staiain.net/StepMania/DP-M%20compare.html). Each file that they play and submit a score on will yield to their overall ladder standings.

You can submit as many times as you like.

[Ladder Points]
To put it simply, ladder points are based off of how well you are playing in each song, summing the DP-marv points rounded off to 3 decimal places and modifying them to a whole number.

Play more songs, earn more points. Improve your scores, earn more points.

An old system of relative ranking has been scrapped. Ladder is now based off absolute score.

[Questions]

Inspired in part by osu!'s ranking charts system. However, stepmania playerbase is not quite osu!'s so I'm not sure how many people actually plan on participating. In any case, I would love feedback on some details and suggestions you might have:

- How many files in each cycle should I run? How long should each ranking period last?
- Any other categories you guys would like to see? can't think of too much more inside Stepmania territory.
- How's the point distribution? What adjustments do you think would be better?
- Would anyone like to help me choose files for the cycles? I'm a shitty player so I'm probably not the best person to pick files tbh
- Other suggestions?

Have fun!

[This Cycle's Songs: 4 key]

I figure we'd start off with a FFRCP Summer '12 sampler: (I was originally thinking to do the whole pack because I didn't want to bias anyone into playing some stuff more than others, but the pack is just too big and no one plays that many songs xd - don't worry though, more files will be chosen in the next cycle if the ladder persists)

Individual Song Rankings

4key regular: based on DP-marv (because of theme variations and not everything showing mine hits, mines will not count against your score. However, you still have to play with mines on in the song)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...QVHhEUUE#gid=0

4key rates YOU MUST PLAY ON AT LEAST 1.1 TO SUBMIT TO THE RATE LADDER: based on DP-marv * rate

If there is interest in a j7 ladder I will add one

6key regular: based on DP-marv (pending)

[EzExZeRo7497]

ooo I'm definitely going to try this

Can I be in A Class plz D:

[Wineandbread]

Just so people don't misunderstand, you aren't assigned a specified class. Your class is determined based on the scores you and other people put out relative to each other.

aka right now Midi is #1 player (o:

Just as an fyi for anyone else submitting, I've decided to not count mines into the scoring because of theme variations. however I do still want you to play with MinesOn please.

[FrozenAngel91]

This is a good idea wine, sounds like a lot of fun.

Here's a few scores I got for now, will post more (and hopefully better ones) later when I get them, since I don't really like to whore files on SM

Oh note before the scores, the percentage I have set to show is MIGS, so the percentage won't be the same as the one your using. I assume you already know that but I thought that my percentage and the one you were using was the same for a bit for some reason so just so you know

ugh can do way better than this, oh well hopefully I'll end up fixing it later




Completely derped those 2 greats, MA is really good though
