FFR Tournament: Round 1

[dashoe93]

i cant AAA any thing...exept easy and short lol

[dsadsadsa]

lol i think i just tied hanssky on crystalis :P

[dashoe93]

im against solopro...i saw his profile and his overall rank was 29000(eh close lol) plus i cant FPC easy songs :(

[dsadsadsa]

I'm right up there with you guys...So meh xD

see what you can get your crystalis to :P it seems alot of people in begginner are going to AAA tiebreaker.

[HansSky]

lol i think i just tied hanssky on crystalis :P
You did what? Got tired of whoring it after a while. I kept getting like 4 goods(one time as low as 2) and 1 miss. That last ****ing jack always gets me. So my best right now is 9 goods. It doesn't matter though, because it's 1 on 1 elimination. Too bad my opponent is whoring out sushi and thinks he's in advanced.

[dashoe93]

not me

[DShot]

k yo this is my first time palying this tourny stuff but im good i just wanna kno how this works cuz it says im playing Seinken and when do i play him?

[darkone264]

I'm sorry to be a pain and complaining(the beginner level has alot of good players in includeing my opponent this round) but my digital camera is all screwed but my highest score so far (one more perfect then my compitition) is in my top 10 songs (currently 4 good rest perfect) I might not be able to send a pic so could yopu just look at my profile score and take that and I'll update you if i score better on that song would that be ok?

[Tasselfoot]

quit living in MP.... just play your song until you get an awesome score, then take a SS of it and send it to Shash.

all of that is explained very clearly in the 1st post. try re-reading it.

You don't need a digital camera... just hit print screen on your keyboard, open up paint and hit paste.

[darkone264]

for some reason it won't copy the flash game screen it will copy all the rest though

this is not a PM or an email...doesn't count till you send it to me one of those ways

[rsr2]

Sorry :D

[dashoe93]

lol im a beginer

[rsr2]

I didn't think i would be ranked 24 in beginners. Thats pretty cool

[dashoe93]

look at solopros profile and look at mine. who wins? lol
easy songs are hard ^_^ random thought

and i g2g cant w8 to see results on friday!

[darkone264]

sash i'm having trouble with my scanner now i have a picture of my current recod on that song but its not scanning alli ask is that you look at my profile and record that score i know I'm asking alot but i really think I have a good shot at winning

[ivaluebet]

you are making this way harder than it is.

[HansSky]

I'm pretty sure darkone has not used a period or comma yet.

[darkone264]

i wasn't aware there was a Grammer rule here.

and I'm sorry my computer is crapping out but i'm trying my best here

[Dynam0]

Grammer

ouch XD

the last few pages made me laugh lol

[Shashakiro]

If you don't know how to take a screenshot, follow these steps:
1. Press the Print Screen button on your keyboard.
2. Go into Paint (Start>Programs>Accessories) or another imaging program and hit Ctrl-V, which should make the screenshot pop up on the screen.
3. Save the screenshot somewhere in your computer.
4. Go to an image hosting site, such as www.photobucket.com or www.imageshack.com, and upload the screenshot from your computer.
5. Send me a link to the screenshot via forum PM or email.

I think I ended up playing it about 100 or so times, yeah, that jack run is IMPOSSIBLE. I ended up using a trick to get them :P. All legal stuff. But yes, I doubt my opponent will even fpc europhia, his lowest top 10 rank is like 1,000 something. He's also a one handed player *dance*. Best of luck to ye' all.

[darkone264]

THANK you so much it seems to be working. I'll be sending a link in a few seconds

[abyss05]

11 AAA's so far for Euphoria....I'm guessing it'll hit around 30 by the end of the week.

[TD_samtorx]

id get totally pwned in this tournament. theres just too many ppl with good PA

[ChaosMaster1]

jeez, and i kept screwing up...bad 1 FREAKING GOOD!(damn it! T_T)

[darkone264]

I'm sure I'll AAA it with in a day or 2.

[ivaluebet]

I have no trouble with those jack runs. It's random misses in various places that leads me to continously have 2 freakin goods.

[eurostud4]

I now officially want to commit suicide. Sushi Bars needs to go to the eighth circle of hell and rot forever in misery and pain. Every time I do it I get two random goods somewhere in the sixteenth note runs. Every time!!! 2 goods.

[Shashakiro]

OK, I've decided what I'm going to do about ties in tiebreaks.

If there is ever a tie of a tiebreak, the two players who tied on the tiebreak will play One Minute Waltz as the second tiebreak, regardless of their division.

If they somehow tie on that they play Revolutionary Etude, and the chances are truly infinitesimal that they'd tie AGAIN on that.

[Ryusei_]

If they somehow tie on that they play Revolutionary Etude, and the chances are truly infinitesimal that they'd tie AGAIN on that.
Now I just hope that for the sake of a good laugh...Someone DOES tie on all of them.

[Ryusei_]

That just spawned an interesting question, that I'm sure has been answered already....

How long do the tie breaker rounds last?

[dsadsadsa]

About one minute waltz, IMHO, it'll become whoever can out-mash the other. What would be best IMO would be to have them MP against each other on the original song, if they tie live against each other, then they go at it on the second song, if it comes down to it, then they play the first song on the next class, for instance, if me and another begginner tie live on crystalis, we live against each other on stalled out and sushi.

/antimash

it's so insanely unlikely that people will tie the tiebreak anyway that I don't really care, I'm just trying to propose a solution that will DEFINITELY end the tie and be fair to all parties

Ryusei: Tiebreaks are announced during the week, and end when the round ends.

[dsadsadsa]

I would just hate to lose to someone that I'm better than, simply because I suck face at mashing. The player that is better at pulling off a scrub move will be the one to advance, doesn't seem fair.

[hi19hi19]

Mashing is a skill. OMW, for nearly everyone, tests that skill.

It's a nessecary part of FFR.

If you suck at mashing, then you deserve to lose to someone who is more skilled than you.

[Dragula219]

God why THIS song, I keep getting one good at it's annoying the hell out of me.

It's such an easy song, but it's cursed or something...

[nforcer06164]

Mashing is nigh impossible for those of us that have keyboards that register only two keys at a time (hey), so, "outmashing" could be really determined by the type of keyboard one has.

The only problem I have with tiebreakers is, what if somebody enters their score late, so their opponent can't send in a tiebreaker score? The whole competition can be spoofed like this, and I'm not going to stay up 'til midnight last day just to see if I need to send in my tiebreak score. I'd like the rule to be "last day" for tiebreak submissions, just so there's no cheating in that regard.

[Ryusei_]

Or, make the round end as usual...Then make the tiebreak day the following day.

[Dynam0]

Yea I say give us some time to at least send a tiebreak score (if the opponent submits an equal score in like the last hour of the round)

Or would you give us a day or w/e to view the results, since most ppl would see the results in the morning, or even after school...1 day window sounds logistic to me

edit: saw Ryusei's post, seems like that's what happens afterall lol

[sertman]

I really hope Stlunatic doesn't tie me because playing P4U is something that i really don't want to have to do. Ever.

Seriously its such a ****ty tiebreak song because it all comes down to how well you can PA slowed down arrows or how well you can read arrows that are the same color as the BG. None of those are a legitamite skill, really.

whatever just dun tie me stlunatic 8)

[Shashakiro]

Or, make the round end as usual...Then make the tiebreak day the following day.

How about this.

If a score is submitted on the last day of a round that creates a tiebreak, then there will be one additional day where only tiebreak scores may be submitted.

Sound fair?

[Ryusei_]

Works for me....

[nforcer06164]

Excellent. Thanks. be sure to add that to the first post so we don't get whiners in the aftermath of a close match.

[unkanown444]

[Shashakiro]

Done.

[travman301]

YYEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS! I just got my AAA! :D:D:D

[abyss05]

congrats.

[darkone264]

I'm still working on mine being 2 goods ahead of Xandertrax is very unnerveing expecially if we do end up both AAAing at the end of the week way i see it first one of us who AAA's begins work on tie breaker if neeed if they AAA that before the other does then its over

[Tasselfoot]

my opponent still hasn't played his song. *shrugs*.

[YouNeedSleep]

I wished I had worked on PA'ing things before this, at least we get a week to practice! ...and I just saw that my opponent this round already AAA'ed it :)

[travman301]

Thanks abyss.

[nforcer06164]

You really need to use punctuation.

And you can start the tiebreaker and keep the score in reserve whether you've tied or not. The whole point of knowing the tiebreaker song when the round starts is so you can begin on it when you're satisfied with your normal song score, whether you AAA or not. But seriously, it is better to work (and actually get) a AAA before you even think of working on your tiebreaker song.

[Ryusei_]

I've just learned the joys of cutting the screen and already loving it.....Just AAA'ed snowflakes first try with it. I found my new best friend.

[iggymatrixcounter]

I would just hate to lose to someone that I'm better than, simply because I suck face at mashing. The player that is better at pulling off a scrub move will be the one to advance, doesn't seem fair.

By then you would have tied two songs. You would be VERY equally matched in normal skill level. So mashing is another aspect that you can test your skill in to determine who's better.

OR you can get good enough to do the song without mashing XD.

[this_n00b_rocks]

Tasslefoot and I aren't very happy with each other. I wonder what'll happen...

[TD_samtorx]

theres so many ppl out there with good pa but cant do hard songs. why cant i be one of them? XD

[darkone264]

Me and my oppenent are now tied at 1 good away from triple A even though my account is having problems I still get the picture of it submitted.

[DarkManticoreX2]

Me and my oppenent are now tied at 1 good away from triple A even though my account is having problems I still get the picture of it submitted.

How do you know what score your opponent has?

ROFL stlunatic is in advanced LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

[banditcom]

lol why did I join...... I'm so bad now. XD

[Shashakiro]

All right folks, the first tiebreak situation has been reached!

nforcer06164 and FFR4EVA_00, send me those tiebreaker scores.

[Ryusei_]

Now I wish my person would hurry up and play his song ><

[Shashakiro]

ohshi! Another tie, first under AAA one...darkone264 and Xandertrax this time.

55 submissions thusfar, 137 to go.

[darkshark]

i just noticed stlunatic is in advanced too, should be some good competition

[natetheffrer]

ohshi! Another tie, first under AAA one...darkone264 and Xandertrax this time.

55 submissions thusfar, 137 to go.

cant they still submit better scores?

and is this single elimination or double or did i not read enough?

[HansSky]

Single for beginner.

[darkone264]

I look at his profile often to see where he stands. Were both so close to triple A its not even funny however, as far as his profile says i have him beat in the tie breaker right now. you know beginner is pritty cool theres some good compitition. I'll get my good score submitted in a sec need to upload the pic. it will look kind of strange because I pasted over my old high score on that

[travman301]

Hey everyone. I'm not a noob or anything, but I don't do much in the forums. LOL. So can someone explain "screen cutting" to me? Thanks. :D

[itmorr]

It's where you resize the browser to see less arrows.

[eurostud4]

It makes it easier to read the steps

[Shashakiro]

cant they still submit better scores?

and is this single elimination or double or did i not read enough?

Yes, that's why the message says you can IMPROVE SCORE or submit tiebreaker.

And single elim for beginner.

[Vivi57]

how does the elimination work for advanced? Especially with the groups of 3.

[dore]

Round Robin, 1(?) advance from each group of 3.

[Shashakiro]

Round Robin, 1(?) advance from each group of 3.

Basically.

3 weeks to determine one winner from each group of 3, then a single elim for the remaining 16. 7 weeks total.

[Vivi57]

What happens if each person ends up with 1 win and 1 loss from the group of 3?

[ClAsSiC_RoCkEr]

On the one hand... college... on the other... ffr tourney... Which one do you think i should do...

[sertman]

What happens if each person ends up with 1 win and 1 loss from the group of 3?

My guess is they all play the tiebreaker.

[meno_rocks123]

^^sounds reasonable

screenshrinking is my new hero.
i just did awesome on multyplayer (to my standards)(they are low)

[SMGod]

If it's not too late to enter, count me in.

[Shashakiro]

If it's not too late to enter, count me in.

Only if someone in Expert wants to drop and give you their spot.

If that happens I'll do with you exactly what I did with bill...switch you to seed #2 and move some matchups

[scottish]

Damn you nima. Go study or something.

[bill_clinton]

On the one hand... college... on the other... ffr tourney... Which one do you think i should do...
Drop out and give your spot to nima.

[Tasselfoot]

lol. Nima would likely beat CR overall... but CR ain't shabby either.


Odds on favorite has to be Baha... but bill, nobody is ruling you out either. Would be REALLY interesting to see a bill vs nima semi-final to determine who gets to face Baha. Honestly, it would all come down to which songs were picked for those 2 rounds... that will determine things.

[nforcer06164]

All right folks, the first tiebreak situation has been reached!

nforcer06164 and FFR4EVA_00, send me those tiebreaker scores.

Finally. I was waiting for something exciting to happen =)

[Tasselfoot]

I will take bribes for those wanting uber scores in beginner....

[Shashakiro]

I will take bribes for those wanting uber scores in beginner....

someone already tried

I caught them lol

[sertman]

I think Nima is up there with Bahamut... he said something a while ago about AAA'ing silence but it didn't register. Nima's fast as **** though and if anything that people either haven't FC'd (Runny) or have trouble FCing (EHHS or something, can't think of a good example) comes up, especially with jacks, nima will have the upper hand.

Baha has the advantage of knowing whether or not he's AAAing the song, but i dunno about nima, because i think he said he didn't screenshrink or something like that.

Dunno I'm overthinking this

[Shashakiro]

I think Nima is up there with Bahamut...

Thus the #2 seed that I promised him

Baha's scores overall are FAR more impressive than Nima's...ALL of Nima's hard-to-beat scores are combo scores, which is more his strength I guess, except Silence which is really more like Terror From Beyond for tier 1 players...it just kinda gives you random goods because it's so horridly offbeat, so it's extra hard to AAA it...but in terms of speed it's nothing

But nothing Nima has ever done comes remotely remotely close to impressing me as much as Baha's EHHS and Balloon Fever, so he keeps #1 seed. Period.

[sertman]

I also haven't seen any FFR scores from nima in a LONG time so i'm not sure how fair of a judgment that is

[Tasselfoot]

Shash... I'd play the song on the person's account. Not on one of mine. Playing on my own accounts would be stupid and obvious. Playing on their account wouldn't be.

Me not stupid........

[sertman]

Shash... I'd play the song on the person's account. Not on one of mine. Playing on my own accounts would be stupid and obvious. Playing on their account wouldn't be.

Me not stupid........

oh look tass' IP accessed this persons account at the same time he got that high score

what a coincedence!

[Tasselfoot]

.....cause even I have access to that information....... uh huh......

[sertman]

...you can't see what IP's people log in from?

[Dynam0]

hmm lol

[Shashakiro]

Shash... I'd play the song on the person's account. Not on one of mine. Playing on my own accounts would be stupid and obvious. Playing on their account wouldn't be.

Me not stupid either. The person I caught doing that had the better player play it on their account.

=P

[nforcer06164]

I'd like to know what idiot got DQ'd.

[scottish]

Hmm shash, I fc'd Sp, but I forgot to take an SS because of ****ty pa, I was downloading something and w.e. I'll just keep my old one instead.

[Shashakiro]

I felt nice so I let them off with a warning.

But here's a nice happy warning for everyone:

ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS SOMEONE PLAY ON THEIR ACCOUNT AND SUBMIT A SCORE WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.

Oh, and if the person who played on their account is in the tourney, they get disqualified too.

kbai

p.s. getting disqualified from this tourney for cheating = probably disqualified from the next few tournies if not from all tourneys forever

[xXTranceXx]

It's where you resize the browser to see less arrows.

But how do you do it??!

[dore]

Click and drag the edge of the browser window so that it's smaller lol

[xXTranceXx]

That's it??! I thought you could like zoom in or something....

[scottish]

Oh shash, nvm about that last post, it made no sense whatsoever..I meant to say something else but nvm.

[Dynam0]

I felt nice so I let them off with a warning.

In other words, it was a well-known player rofl

[dore]

In other words, it was a well-known player rofl

LOL

[Tayfun]

In other words, it was a well-known player rofl

lol it just might be!

[darkone264]

well i'm still ahead of my opponent by quite a bit in the tie breaker but he has all night to catch up to me because i have to work so i better just try to AAA the first song

[DarkManticoreX2]

I will take bribes for those wanting uber scores in beginner....

I was just thinking about posting this.

So much for an exclusive idea :/

[ChaosMaster1]

what happens if you submit a screenshot and you get a better score? you cant sumbit that score right?

[darkone264]

we'll talk when i see the other song choices for the next round which i will make it to even if I have to stay up all night for a week

[darkone264]

you can submit any score you want chaos i've sent in 3 already

[Tasselfoot]

and, yea... i do hope y'all know I was joking...

[dore]

and, yea... i do hope y'all know I was joking...

Nope. I thought you were serious. Just like the previous statement.

[stealthkidd]

i sent my score to shashakiro@yahoo.com plz tell me if u recieved it.

[rsr2]

Damn o well :D

[scottish]

Lol is it me, or did alot of people sign up expecting the first rounds to start in a week, and prob. don't know that this week has even begun.

[Jammer325]

Not just you... The guy I'm against has been playing FFR everyday since it started and hasn't once played SOASB.

[rsr2]

I almost missed it. I looked in the forums scrolled down and it said FFR tourny Round 1

I said wtf then i realized it started i was waiting for a PM or something.

[scottish]

Yeah, REQUEST:
Front page announcement
I know Omegix along with alot of other people would have already submitted if they knew about this
Also, I'd like some competition, not just winning by default.

[Tasselfoot]

Baha and bill should be plenty of competition for you.


And scottish... this is to be expected. In League 2, with ~1000 people signed up... less than half submitted a score for the 1st week. And it wasn't until like the quarter or semi finals until everyone from all the divisions submitted.

[scottish]

I didn't mean competition that way, I meant I dont want to win any of my matchups by the other person not knowing about it.. Not that Baha or Bill aren't comp rofl..
Oh, and most likely me and bill will be matched up sooner or later..considering the opposite always happens for me,
He doesn't want to play me, I don't want to play him, so i'm calling we are the next matchup on a song that we both are fairly decent at.
Thats if I win this round, and same goes for him.

[hi19hi19]

Hm, personally I think that there shouldn't be a front page announcement about this round. It's already sort of too late, and besides it weeds out the people to lazy/unmotivated to even check on it.
Just what I think.

[TD_samtorx]

I felt nice so I let them off with a warning.

But here's a nice happy warning for everyone:

ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS SOMEONE PLAY ON THEIR ACCOUNT AND SUBMIT A SCORE WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.

Oh, and if the person who played on their account is in the tourney, they get disqualified too.

kbai

p.s. getting disqualified from this tourney for cheating = probably disqualified from the next few tournies if not from all tourneys forever

just wondering.. how is it even possible to find out if someone played on someone elses accounts.
lik if i told my godly frend to go on my comp and play for me and take a screen then how would you find out without using super mind powers? which i dont doubt you have.
this is all hypothetical of course =D

[scottish]

I'm guessing IP's would be different, unless someone was at your house..
So giving out your password to someone to play a song on would show up as a different IP, and all Shash would have to do is see who's IP that is.

[Vivi57]

it's by ip checks. Of course, in the off chance that you do have a real life friend who plays ffr *and* is good at it *and* who is willing to play for you to get a good score, they can't do anything about it.

[Ryusei_]

He probably based it off of previous scores. If all your other ones just suck and then all of the sudden you get an AAA.....There's something wrong.

Edit: I just realized I'm not a "junior member" anymore....*does a dance*

That made me feel so noobish.

[Jammer325]

Tass said earlier that he couldn't even check IPs... The only way I can think of is someone getting an abnormally high score when it was convenient.

Could be wrong though.

[TD_samtorx]

i guess cheaters never win =[

[Ryusei_]

i guess cheaters never win =[
Sure they do. It's just the ones that DO win that you never hear about.

[scottish]

tass should be able to check Ip's, hes an admin. I'm a mod on another site, it has something similiar to this, and i'm able to check ip's.
If shash can't check ip's, then the next plausible thing is synth did.

Of course, in the off chance that you do have a real life friend who plays ffr *and* is good at it *and* who is willing to play for you to get a good score, they can't do anything about it.

except this is exactly what happened with the guy I caught

I have my ways of figuring this stuff out.

[HansSky]

I'm sure it'd be fairly obvious by checking the history if the user produced the score themselves.

[TD_samtorx]

theres always that uncertainty tho.. sometimes i randomly pop out with a rank 10-100 times lower then my last one. aaa's are easy to tell tho obviously

[Shashakiro]

61 scores submitted so far.

I expect a good few over the weekend.

[Amcreva]

OMG. Beginner? Lol, awesome.

[stealthkidd]

whats the nubmer beside out names in the list? i have a 26.....

[dore]

Seedings. It assures that the top players do not play each other until later in the tourney.

[scottish]

Hmm ok shash, I know who you are talking about now. Nvm.

[abyss05]

So yea, Im gonna win my first match by default unless this kid decides to get on ffr some time soon.

[DDRBaller123]

I signed up but my name is not on the list WTF?

[Dragula219]

You Probably signed up after all the slots were filled.

[DDRBaller123]

Nope

[nforcer06164]

Suppose in an extreme case that I have to "tiebreak the tiebreak", so to speak. To do this at my house would be foolish... I cannot mash One Minute Waltz on my home keyboard because Flash objects freeze when more than two arrow keys are pressed. Would I be "cheating" even if I was playing, but at my school, where the mashing is possible? The IP would obviously be different, but for someone that's only looking at IPs, it would be considered cheating.

To illustrate how urgent this situation is: I was playing at my school today for the tournament, intending to SS my score if it had improved. If I did so, and IPs were checked, my school and personal IP wouldn't match; boom, I'm a cheater.

[Jammer325]

Shash's means of determining cheaters has nothing to do with IPs.

lol So apparently after playing Stalled out and Sushi bars all week, and finally FC'ing it tonight, I find out that I'm in the Beginner division! Ahahah, my bad. This'll be fun though.

If this guy makes me waste my first AAA I'm going to be one very unhappy camper....

[scottish]

Unhappy? You AAA'd it. You should be happy.

[Ryusei_]

Eh, I guess. I would have AAA'd them a long time ago if I had really tried screen cutting xD

[darkone264]

i don;t screen cut and i've AAA'd 2 songs already not tuney songs though

[TD_samtorx]

strangeprogram would be much funner as a advanced tiebreaker and something like pants or caprice should be the one for expert.
i think party 4 u is harder then all 3 since it bugs me up

[scottish]

It may be more fun, but it doesnt fall under the category. I think things will become more advanced as time goes on.

I thought you were way better than I was?

Plus you guys need to realize that some players may be holding back their score until last day so they get a bonus time to do the tiebreak.... all with you thinking that you are going to win by default.

Course inactivity seems more likely but I'll bet that's what some would/are doing.

[scorpio1690]

I was pretty good for a while but then I stopped playing for months and now I'm not that good anymore, but FC'ing the Advanced song accidently should show what I'm capable of =\ Meh, I'm not complaining.

[Eriror]

I don't submit yet because I'm stuck at 7 goods. >_> And as I know my opponent has... 5 or 6... I got to improve first.. Bleh. Stupid jacks.

[meno_rocks123]

MY opponent hasn't even played ffr since i think saturday...

I'd agree with you if I I didn't know that most people were checking to see if their opponent has even logged on. I know mine hasn't :(

[FFR4EVA_00]

136.6 would make a hilarious tiebreaker for beginner.
It's such a bitch to AAA.

[darkshark]

it may be a bitch to AAA, but people would do it, and tons of double tiebreakers arent good IMO

[Tasselfoot]

trust me... tons of people will not AAA 136.6, especially not in beginner. I still haven't AAAd it, and I've whored that song a few different times. So many BFs and 2 good runs.

[rsr2]

I haven't really tried playing 136.6 but i will and see what i can do :D

[itmorr]

Funk in G tiebreaker finale.

[ivaluebet]

Funk in G tiebreaker finale.

I made that song my bitch.

[Tasselfoot]

guh. 136.6 and funk in g both can go rot in hell.

[HansSky]

Funk in G tiebreaker finale.

For expert.

[Dynam0]

I think I got 10 on 136.6 last time I played, and like 25 on Terror from Beyond rofl, Funk in G I can't even remember

[Yattasparagus28]

I hate beginner songs. Guh. WHY CAN I NEVAR AAA.

[Ryusei_]

Yay....You're finally on ^^

[Shashakiro]

For expert.

omg im doing this

[darkone264]

I almost triple A'd 136.6 can't remember my exact score think like 7 or something

[cyberpimp713]

i wish i could have joined tha tourny, next time

[darkshark]

7 goods is not close to a AAA, especially on that song, but Tass, people would AAA it, because they would have to whore it for an entire week straight if they didnt want to be knocked out of the tourny

[Ryusei_]

I would imagine darkshark is right. Most people wouldn't even bother submitting anything short of an AAA

[Shashakiro]

Next week's Beginner song has been AAA'd by fewer than ten people.

We'll see how many get that AAA from the tourney.

[Tasselfoot]

i smell cat walk 2...

or return of superdouble or shag.



one of those 3.

[darkshark]

tiebreaker should be 100 bar blackout xD /hate

[Ryusei_]

tiebreaker should be 100 bar blackout xD /hate
I swear I'm just going to break my keyboard in half if it is.....

[dore]

lol offsyncness

[HansSky]

I dunno. I'm thinking more along the lines of Story of S+SG or...maybe terror from beyond? Maybe not quite yet.

[darkone264]

those would be fun i havn't triple A'd them but my score are good

[rsr2]

Same here :D

[xXTranceXx]

Second AAA tie-breaker of the tourney is goin to be me vs Travman301........Interesting!!!=D

[ChaosMaster1]

I swear I'm just going to break my keyboard in half if it is.....
no one will be able to AAA that if its in beginner =P. (i almost did once, 7 goods i think i know it was < 10!)

[darkone264]

i tripple A'd my song so i'm winning right now stupid account screwing up so it didn't actually put me on high score

[Ryusei_]

Nevermind >.>

[darkshark]

no one will be able to AAA that if its in beginner =P. (i almost did once, 7 goods i think i know it was < 10!)


its impossible to AAA 100 bar blackout

[darkone264]

how is it impossible I havn't done it but surly it is possibler for the experts

[Ryusei_]

how is it impossible I havn't done it but surly it is possibler for the experts
When she said it's impossible, she meant it's impossible for EVERYONE....Whether this is true or not, I have no idea xD

[nforcer06164]

how is it impossible I havn't done it but surly it is possibler for the experts
I'm going to be nice about this only once.

Please type more coherently, with proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

"How is it impossible? I haven't done it, but it is surely possible for the experts."

It's not that hard, see? Please try it.

[darkshark]

no 100 bar blackout is impossible to AAA for EVERYONE, because the arrows in the jacks overlap eachother, making it impossible to get a perfect, its just a flaw in ffr

[scottish]

It goes the same with about 9 other songs. The margin for getting a perfect is either not there or is so minimal that it would be hit at a minute percentage of the time.

[dore]

The perfect windows overlap, like so:
|av|gd|pf|gd|gd-miss|miss|
.........|av|gd|pf|gd-miss|miss|
As you can see, the perfect window is covered by the average window of the next arrow. The second arrow takes precedence over the first, so if you were to hit a perfect on the first arrow, it would register an average for the next arrow and completely ignore the first, giving you a miss.

[dsadsadsa]

Next week's Beginner song has been AAA'd by fewer than ten people.

We'll see how many get that AAA from the tourney.

You bastard -_-. I thought crystalis was bad.

S'ok, as long as my partner stays in his black hole, I don't have much of a challenge in the next match.

[dsadsadsa]

Iwhaiwnfi used a secret arrow o.0

[HansSky]

rofl@my opponent

[dsadsadsa]

rofl@my opponent

I think secret arrows serves for instant ban hammer pwnage.

[HansSky]

-Don't bother trying to cheat, you'll be caught and immediately disqualified. Using "secret arrows" and getting a higher combo than should normally be possible is considered cheating unless specified otherwise (I'll make it very clear if I decide to use the song where this could be a confusion). It's also cheating to somehow try to secretly play in a lower division than you are placed in. Cheating will not be tolerated, and any evidence of cheating will result in disqualification. Also note that trying to piss me off by trying to bend the rules or trying to find loopholes will get you disqualified.

oh

[Shashakiro]

If he submits it, he's dq'd.

[DarkManticoreX2]

how is it impossible I havn't done it but surly it is possibler for the experts

2 goods is the best possible on 100 BB only done by me and shash.

Im betting on a funk song for the next beginner song, either that or Terror from beyond.

[Shashakiro]

2 goods is the best possible on 100 BB only done by me and shash.


*and johnie

Note: Songs up to Chardish Difficulty 4 can now be chosen for Beginner. Before the limit was 3.

When setting the parameters I underestimated the skill level of the people who would be in beginner, which is why I'm making this change.

yes

shash, count me out in the tourny if it's still possible. i can only afford to spend around 10mins or so per day for ffr or even lesser on some days due to my examinations. sorry for the trouble.

Make room for Nima :O

If Nima posts again saying he wants a spot, he gets Breach's spot.

[Tasselfoot]

Silver... you know Baha AAAd. so either AAA yourself or be forced to the elimination bracket.

that, at least, is the nice thing about expert. even if you lose once, you ain't out.

and lol. there have been 20 AAAs of Euphoria since the tourney started.

[the_unda_doggz]

W00t! I got in the tournament! But stalled out and sushi bars isn't a song I am too familiar with. Oh yea, I have a question... Can you keep playing the song until you get a high score, or do you take the score from the next time we play? Because I want to be able to perfect my score. ^_^

[the_unda_doggz]

WAIT!! I AM IN BEGINNER!?!?!

[Dynam0]

Damnit, going to London Ontario today to visit my sister, I'll be back on Sunday so I'll still have time to play the tiebreaker a bit, if I need too =P

[the_unda_doggz]

Shash, heres my screenshot. Why did I get put into the beginner's division?
Well, here's my score:

rofl this seems to be everybody's response. PS he wants a screenshot of your actual score after you finish the song. What's the point in taking a SS of your profile when he can just look at it if he wants too? Also, he won't accept it unless you send it to him via PM or e-mail.

[rsr2]

Its almost 10am yay!

[dsadsadsa]

He looked at overall rank more than anything. Be cool with it, the more noobs in your category, the more chance for the 70$.

[windsurfer-sp]

Are people actually in it for the money? I thought be more about respect and more noble things like that :)

[Eriror]

I'm in trouble. unkanown AAA'd it, and I really have problems getting an SDG.

Hrrm... Yes. I'm not doing it for money. More for fun and experience. But err... Fun was for a short while, haha.

If I do AAA Euphoria, I'd probably have him beat with Crystalis, though. Let's hope I can FC it again.

[Squeek]

Its almost 10am yay!

Too bad today is not Monday, September 18th anywhere in the world.

[Shashakiro]

Anyone who didn't get a seed and is complaining about being in Beginner: you weren't even remotely close to making advanced, stop complaining

[duhh_]

how is your skill level determined?

[Shashakiro]

how is your skill level determined?

By your best scores on songs.

alright, thanks.

Umm, actually, if you read the thread he says you can post them in here, so don't try to be a smart-ass. ^_^ And also, if I took a screenshot of my score right after I did my song, there is no real proof that is was my picture because the screen name isn't on the page after a person completes a song. I though this would be better since it has my name on it. I am going to send it to sash, so shut up. >_<

[abyss05]

Elaborate, word of the day September 12, 2006.

[Dynam0]

Oh, so I get to match up against Nima, that's gay rofl

[darkone264]

stupid my worst song is bringing down my level ranks stats so much. All my other songs are so much better then that one. I don't feel like mentioning it because i just know its going to be one of the songs later if i do.

[the_unda_doggz]

The lower your rank, the better.
