Introduction to the ScoringV3
To bring you some truly groundbreaking features, we’ve completely revamped the scoring system this time. Let’s take a look together~
Introduction
Compared with the old system, we’ve added new design considerations:
- Ensuring that an AP (All Perfect) always reaches 1,000,000 points.
- Increasing the score gap between AP and non-AP results.
- Making it possible for non-AP but outstanding results to still achieve 1,000,000 points.
Scoring Composition
New Scoring System Composition
Score = Accuracy Score (1,000,000) + Combo Bonus (5,000) + AP Bonus (5,000)
Accuracy Score
Directly tied to accuracy (though the details differ from the old system). Each note’s accuracy score is influenced by Perfect Heat.
Perfect Heat starts at 100%, with a minimum of 40%.
- Any judgment that isn’t Perfect lowers the heat; Perfect judgments gradually restore it.
- There’s also a “combo break protection” mechanism : hitting multiple non-Perfects in quick succession will reduce heat less than if they happened spaced apart.
Combo Bonus
The classic combo-based additional score, determined by your maximum combo.
AP Bonus
When you achieve an ALL PERFECT or above, you’ll earn an extra 5,000 points!

FAQ
Q: What makes the new scoring special?
A: In the new version, all perfect can already reach 1,000,000 points. This means you can max out the new Reality! Plus, after clearing, the last digits of your score equal your exact-perfect rate.
Q: What happens to my old scores? Do I need to replay everything?
A: Don’t worry, we’ve prepared a mechanism for that too, keep reading~
In the new version, score thresholds for each grade and unlock requirements for existing songs will be significantly lowered.
The Reality calculation rules have also been adjusted.
The new system is compatible with both old and new Reality values. In other words, after the update:
- Your existing scores will not change.
- Already achieved Reality will remain the same.
For example, right after updating to Version 4.0, suppose your result for “Regnaissance Cloudburst” looks like this:
Your total Reality is the average of your top 20 chart Realities.
Since you just updated, every chart only has old scores. So, all charts use their old Reality, and your Reality remains unchanged.
When you replay “Regnaissance Cloudburst” in the new version but the new Reality is lower than the old one, the old Reality is still kept:
When you replay it again and the new Reality is higher than the old one, then the new Reality will be adopted:
Q: If one chart’s Reality is higher in the new system, does my total Reality switch fully to the new version?
A: Nope! Each chart’s Reality is chosen independently. This means your total Reality can be a mix of old and new values.
Once all your charts have switched to the new Reality, the Reality icon will change!
Q: What if I already maxed out Reality in the old version? Will the icon still change?
A: Yes—if a chart’s Reality was already maxed out in the old version, it will be considered as having chosen the new Reality as well.
