the "Average" Scorehero player

So going by the Top 5000 thing mentioned up there, this guy is the "average". Just about exactly 20mil and 20-odd FCs... matches what I was thinking quite well.

iamchris4life is 3964th at gh3... i guess i am better than him then right???

these scores on this site are not accurate representations of our skills. there is no way to find an average based on these scores unless everybody were to input all of their scores.

You will never get an exact answer to this question because not everyone enters all their scores. The fact that around 70% of scores entered on Closer are FC's doesn't mean that 70% of Scorehero users are good enough to FC Closer - actually, probably less than 70% of Scorehero users are good enough to FC Closer, since the people who haven't uploaded a score for Closer probably don't play expert or just don't want to post their scores because they don't think they're good enough. How much less than 70% is completely up to speculation.

Basically this entire thread consists of people having some preconceived idea of what an average player is and then making up some method of looking at the leaderboards that will result in an answer close to what they originally expected. This is pretty bogus.

Anyway, I'll leave on this note: At least 90% of Scorehero users would call themselves under average. (this is a guess but I'm pretty sure it's accurate)

When Monkeyman can FC Ballroom Blitz and his thread gets like 3 bumps, it makes it seem like other lesser accomplishments are so run of the mill around here that everyone is below average. I just FC'd DnD and still feel like it was 'eh.' This place and the accomplishment forum specifically drastically warps people's perceptions of 'average.'

Also the people that generally post on the forums generally care more and thus are better at the game. Posters also skew what is 'average' because most everyone who posts consistently has a bunch of FC's, so maybe the average FORUM POSTER is at 20ish FC's, but the average scorehero user and forum lurker might be sitting at 5ish Expert FC's

There's a HUGE difference between the average Guitar Hero player's ability and the average ScoreHero'ers ability.

The average Guitar Hero player doesn't even play on expert.

To get the average player here I'd say take all of GH3 players who have beat all songs in game (excluding TTFAF so you can get a larger, more general pool). Average those scores on each song... add them up, there is your career average.
