Money score is the score out of 200,000 you get on a song that has nothing to do with anything, and is the basis for high scores in arcade mode. | Money score is the score out of 200,000 you get on a song that has nothing to do with anything, and is the basis for high scores in arcade mode. | ||
BMUS doesn't | Given a solid play of a given song, a money score around 154,000 indicates an A, 171,000 indicates a AA, and 188,000 indicates a AAA. These are rules of thumb, not hard facts--money score gives some points for goods, while EX score gives zero points for a good. Money score also includes a penalty for breaking combo; again, this does not affect EX score. By "good-attacking" a song and maintaining combo, it is possible to get a fairly high money score but an EX score very close to zero. | ||
BMUS doesn't record highest EX score; it records highest money score. If you are playing BMUS and entering scores on VJA, you may find that on slight score increases, your EX score actually decreased. The converse is also true--you will occasionally play a song and get a lower money score, but a higher EX value. You may wish to manually calculate your EX score after every play to make sure you're not short-changing yourself. | |||
The name "money score" comes from the fact that in the early 5-key games, your score was called "money", presumably to represent the riches you make as a DJ. Many people still refer to them as this, even though it's not been referred to in-game as such for ages. | The name "money score" comes from the fact that in the early 5-key games, your score was called "money", presumably to represent the riches you make as a DJ.
