What level of skill is "good" to you?

**R0ck3rnst**

This actually has crossed my mind the other day. Now, a little background. I'm the best in my school, only with 17fc's, hopefully hitting 20 soon. I consider myself decent, but when it comes to the school, I consider myself rape. I like when people say, "You suck." When my comeback is, "Yeah here's the freaking guitar, lets see you get a 90% or over." Yes I know, kinda cocky, but that's me.

So, what catches your eye as "good"? Does the level of progression have any effect on you? Or if your better than them, are they "not good"? Or the other way around, if they are better then you are they "good"?

I've thought about this as well. I have 48 FC's atm and if I come across someone that can 5* songs against me on pfo, I consider them pretty good.

I think that anyone that can play the game on hard is "good." Other than that i don't really put that much thought into it. If someone is better, or worse than me really doesn't matter. Everyone has vairying skill levels. Play for fun, or take em to Co-op and crush on em.

Anyone who can play hard/expert is good in my book. I'm not in any position to judge too much beyond that.

I agree, anyone who can play hard or above is "good".

You have to remember things are skewed here. A lot of people "in the real world" are playing easy or medium.

Real Life good=being able to FC a song on Hard.
Score Hero good=being able to FC a song on Expert.

My philosophy:

1. Play on Medium? You're average
2. Can 5* /FC alot or all of Medium? You're above average
3.Play on Hard? You're good
4. 5* or FC alot of Hard? Your really good.
5. Play on Expert? You're freaking great
6. 5* Expert? You're what SH considers a "GH Guitar God" which is "pretty damn far above the average"... as far as SH is concerned.
7. FC most/all of expert? You are one of the few Legendary Players who continually wow us common folk. (I should clarify there are more and more people pulling this stuff off nowadays.)

As far as the entire GH playing world is concerned... Most fall between catagories 1 and 3. And from that standpoint, They are "good" players in their own right.

For ScoreHero, 98% of us fall between 4 and 6. The other 2% fall into 7.

Ah yes, I've seen topics like this before. What is "good"?

Well most people will tell you ScoreHero is a bad place to ask this question. Our definition of good is pretty skewed at times. A lot of people here tend to carry an elitist attitude as far as skill at the game (or at least those that participate in the forums), its kind of a shame tbh.

I suppose my particular situation is highly unusual as far as how I view my own skill at the game. Am I the best in town? No, PriestMLH lives in Evansville. Am I the best at my college? No, MPChedda goes to my college. Am I the best in my dorm? Probably, but thats not exactly an accomplishment in an all-girl hall.

My point is, it depends on who you are and where you are. Considering where I live and who I PFO with, I could easily say "Man I suck at this game." But with 69

and 23 FCs atm, I really probably don't suck that bad compared with your average player.

I've noticed its our favorite thing on ScoreHero to say to ourselves "I bet most people play on Medium, lol." This may or may not be true, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if a higher amount of people are playing on Hard and maybe Expert, what with the increasing popularity of GH3. There ARE good players that exist outside of ScoreHero, as hard as it is to believe. ;)

I consider people who can play on Expert "good." (This doesn't mean I think that people who choose to play on Hard are bad, not at all, but I'm saying if you can pass most songs on Expert, you're pretty damn good).

Anyway, its different for everyone, but thats my 2 cents anyway. :P

My personal opinion on this is I consider anyone who has FC'd maybe 1/4 of any game to be good.

If you beat expert you're good.. I believe that should be the bottom line. At that point you've demonstrated all the basic and advance skills. Saying I have this many FC's just becomes a pissing match.

I'm going to be completely honest here.

My definition of good is as follows:

If player plays on expert- top 50 overall is what I consider good.

If player plays on hard- top 25 overall is what I consider good.

I have a ways to go before being good imo.

as ravagetalon previously said... most players that dont know about scorehero play on easy or medium and think hard and expert require ''h4x'' to even pass

if you are simply going by scorehero... good is being either top 500 on a platform on hard.... or top 1000 overall expert

good, however, for common players is doing well on medium, and even beating a few songs on hard, and possibly attempting some expert if they are feeling saucy

for ME, good is getting higher than 1000th on a song on expert.

But when I look at other people, best example is if I'm planning on playing against them, then if they play on expert, they're good. Even if they haven't beaten it, or can't really 5* much (except maybe the first few tiers), then they're good compared to the average population.
