Bá Khí - What Your Read Grade Says About You
Reading the score and streak
What The Grade Measures
Your Bá Khí grade is a read on how well you match the crowd's eye, not how much bá khí you have. Two players can be the same kind of person and land on different grades, because one reads the move and one reads the mood. The score is built out of the gap between your number and the crowd average, so a close read is worth more than a loud one.
Typical Grade Bands
- Quiet Corner - you rated the mood of the scene; the moves went past you.
- Sideways Energy - you catch the easy scenes and miss the subtle moves.
- Main Character - you read the move most of the time; the streak holds.
- Walk-In Boss - you match the crowd across the full ten; the read is clean.
How To Read Your Numbers
Step 1 - Look at the total first; that is the headline.
Step 2 - Check the best streak; a long one with a low total is a late-game miss pattern.
Step 3 - Find which scene broke the streak; that is the move you rated by mood.
Step 4 - If it broke on a quiet scene, you were looking for a loud move that was not there.
Step 5 - Re-run and rate the move, not the face; the grade moves.
Step 6 - Track a best streak across sessions; it is the cleaner stat.
Where Most Players Misread It
Treating a low grade as a bad read of your own bá khí. It is a read of the scene, not of you. A Quiet Corner player can have more bá khí than a Walk-In Boss; the game is asking whether you see the move in the room, not whether you are in it.
