Icy...lmao

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

My motivation to play FFR has gone down the drain lol. Atleast this tourney will help motivate me to use a higher speed mod for once. Problem is that I havent really been in the mood to play it.

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Never answered my question :s

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

i do not wish for a round 1 boot this time...

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

So you guys know what songs to play:
jprox - D3
FFR4EVA - need a speedmod...
Gaz - D3

Dragonmega,
give me a sec

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Was talking to Justin about which score was better.

May as well just post this for now.

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

the 2.0 is slightly better.

I'm not gonna be able to do all the math for all the participants all round, I REALLY encourage you guys to try this out on your own, it's just a matter of plugging things in and I walk you through it at the end of that "twist" section.

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

You should have a rule that you have a limit on what speed mods you can use.

Like for example if I use 2.2x, I can only use up to 2.7x or down to 1.7x - otherwise the score won't count.

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

For shits and giggles xD

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

I think Icy started a trend.

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Looks like I have to AAA now :o

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

I've AAAed it once, but it's giving me some trouble with a little pressure added to the mix. Good luck to you, and may the best man/woman win ^.^

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

woot! ^.^

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

I'm rofling so F***ing Hard!

P.S. i'm a guy XD

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Kinda figured you were considering like 9/10 people that play this game are, but I figured I should try to avoid being sexist or otherwise discriminatory on here :P

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

62,662 points for 2.2x score

62,400+ points for 2.4x score, just fooling around haha.

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

BACK IN MY DAY WE DIDN'T USE YOUR FANCY "SPEEDMODS" AND "KEYBINDINGS"
WE PLAYED ON 1x WITH SCREENCUT AND USED THE ARROW KEYS
AND WE LIKED IT!
KIDS THESE DAYS... YOU YOUNG UNS PROBABLY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A SCREENCUT IS, HAH
we also didn't use standalone, too bad in-browser is unplayable laggy now... eh :P

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

I just died so ****ing hard

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Rofl, I have no idea why.. but I think the SM idea is going to get a bit out of hand.

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Depending on how things go, might be implementing the +1.0 and -1.0 limit on speedmods. I'll be talking this over with yo man

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

god I hate this song
I'm not even gonna post my current best to help the confidence of my division

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Well here is my score. So close to an AAA but it will have to do I guess.



Is it possible if I get a better score that I can replace this current screenshot with another one?

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

lol okay so I moved my speedmod down 1 and got
and then I plugged the numbers into excel and got 61044.1
decrease O.o

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Yes, konacraze, you can post as many improvement screenshots as you like until the round ends :]

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Don't you go stopping me form using 0.25x now, or I'm gonna be pissed \o/

Also...



/r/ videos of people playing at 100,000x speed! :p

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Going up in speed is making me learn to hate breaks in streams. I'm hitting notes that don't exist constantly >.<

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

LOL at restarts, but I finally got it AAA

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

I don't understand the speedmod thing still.

rip me in this tourney.


if this gets me eliminated i dont give a ****
not playing this again

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

in the spreadsheet, there are two final raw scores. one says next to it higher, and other says lower speed. whats the deal with that?

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

The whole formula is based off of how far from your 'default' speedmod you play. If you go slower then you get less of a bonus than if you were to go higher, so it shows the 2 different values since it just knows the difference, not if you went higher or lower. You need to use the one you know is correct.

I also assume that if you use a slower speedmod, due to the limitations of programming the spreadsheet you have to ignore the fact that it takes away from your score, and instead add the bonus on? :)




I think that if you're going to limit the speedmods, there shouldn't be a limit for the lower speedmod since it never gives a silly number of points extra, especially with the limit imposed by the 0.3 multiplier. Since it's highly unlikely that people will able to read 1.0 above their regular speedmod without mashing or some other uncouth way of playing, either make an upper limit to mod additions (preferable), or require some kind of video proof if you want to allow stupid mods so that the user can show that they're not just mashing for the score? Since this isn't a tournament to see who can mash the best :p Personally I think the upper limit is far more reasonable, since then the penalty for getting a few nonperfects will sufficiently offset the bonus as opposed to the MASSIVE leeway from a 100000x speedmod!

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

ok makes sense

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

That would be silly, since it was announced as one of the awesome differences he wanted in the tournament. Other tournaments about if you don't want something different like that :)

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

My speedmod is 1.95x.

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

I'm sorry if this has been answered already or if it's explained in the first post (very hung over ...), but which is better, an AAA or a bonus that is better than AAA?

For example, if I AAA, I will have 33250 raw, yet if I get 1 good on a different speed mod, I have calculated that I would get 33258. My question is should I aim for AAA or for the most points?

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

EDIT2: SDG, cool

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

The OP says Raw Scoring, so it should be the score. So AAAs can be beaten with speedmod bonuses!

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

*KEEP IN MIND*

If someone in your division is playing for fun, their score doesn't count for jack. If you're below the elimination line and a "fun player" is right above you, you need to beat the player above him/her. If you and a "fun player" are tied at the elimination line, you may be considered eliminated or just be considered allowed to continue. (need to discuss with Justin).

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

This is my very first attempt, so it fails, but if this isn't enough, I'll be amazed. I'll be surprised if 13 D2 people even submit.

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Bleh

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

say plz :3

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

i shall improve later
lolz at screenshot avatar

Re: New Years Tournament!

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Lmao, I can't believe you've memorised that already XD Could be many ways it could be done, but I shant speculate. Good job on breaking his system already :p

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

wat

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

My D2 post you'll probably get my other one later tonight

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

lol.


First one-hand standard AAA here I come.

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Time to rally D2, everyone else submit gogogo

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Not that sill to be honest. If it breaks the scoring so bad like 10,000 does it'd be fine to remove this... Random gimmick.
Even I think it's kinda a waste.
I was here in the screen cut days. I don't understand how minimizing the amount you have to read on the screen was ever (or currently is for Jerry) helpful.

PS: Gimmick isn't really that much of a twist. It seems like something Dossar would do.
PPS: I [still] hate you for Gym Leader... I never wanted to touch it again.

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Everyone in D6 just lost.

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Third try, got the AAA for this one. :P

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Ok I'm in ^^

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

My best so far is 28,087 (87 over max), will try to improve

Edit:// AAA'd .3 over my usual speed mod =)
28,168 I think using the spreadsheet

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

\o/

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

wow...

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Rofl D7.

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

I suspect a new rule of a maximum of 10 rewarded intervals.

Icy you dick. D:

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

k when is justin updating this? i'd like to know my position in my divion soon pwz :3

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

.275 higher than usual speed mod..hopefully improving this soon.

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Alright Imma get the AAA very soon.
Attachment 27507

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Won't do good this round, I can't do jacks right :[ Trying D5 song pl0x

EDIT~ Nvm, I don't have that song O.O

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Either this (usual speedmod) or my last posts score, whichever comes out to give me the most points in the end :-P

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Will you accept Replays? And Could I play for fun in D6?

Edit ~ It may be possible we might need a switch.

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Hopefully this is good enough

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

4th(I think) Try

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Too lazy to try another speedmod right now, maybe later.

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

I was hoping I would never have to touch this song again. For now...

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

:[ You all have Adobe Flash player but I don't because I'm on a mac :[
Tip : I found it easier to turn off accuracy and combo (I keep combo on in the Beta engine) so I get less distracted, also you shouldn't put your mind on trying to do good, it just happens.

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

We're both dealing with the same thing right now, but I still think my mac holds up pretty well with clearing the cache and refreshing the browser.
With that said, time to get back into this game if it's still possible! :]

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Update coming. Haven't been at a comp all day

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

@WSCB My mac works just fine :] It just gives me the extra focus, I wouldn't mind a mac version of the Standalone player :P

Edit ~ I won't do any speedmod changes, It just doesn't seem right.

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

All right here goes this

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Just for fun; I don't feel like figuring out if this is better or not. Probably not going to bother with it in the future :P

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

8-0-0-1 on this laggy laptop. I know I can AAA it but I need my computer back :(

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

Okay, this post is kinda long since I had to address a lot of stuff. Please do read it.

Speedmod changes are going to be limited. I've thought about it and for the most part, people will be getting reasonable scores and gaining bonuses close to their speedmod, since it makes more sense. The new maximum is going to be +1.0 (20 .05 intervals still) and -1.3 (26 .05 intervals still). (It is slightly larger for going down, but not by much, because of the .3 multiplier for playing on slower speedmods. This is due to [as stated before] most people playing on or near the maximum that they are comfortable with, making moving up harder and down easier.)

Overflow points/AAA Scores:
This tournament is 100% Raw scoring based. If you get above the AAA raw score value, you will carry part of that into the next round as a bonus. I'll give a rundown of that again when I see a score that has it, so it's easier to explain.

Entering lower speedmods on the spreadsheet:
Since the spreadsheet is set up a certain way, it takes one speedmod minus the other. Reverse the Original and Used when you input slower speedmods. I should have mentioned this earlier but it slipped out of mind, my apologies.

Thank you wildfireskunk for adressing popsicle_3000's question.

Pertaining to yo man im awesome's comment about "playing for fun" players:
Those are not included in the number of people below the elimination line, so if you are below, you ARE getting eliminated. Otherwise, what he said is correct. You have to beat the next closest real score, excluding the yellow users. They can't eliminate you, so if a yellow player ties you across the elimination line, you'll be safe.

Altivu hang in there for now in D2, we'll see closer to the end of the round whether you need to be moved down.

Middie, lmao don't use the speedmod thing if you don't like it.

I'd rather not do replays and stick with screenshots, as it provides me all the info I need in one image. Also, yes you can play for fun in D6 (...?). Also, what do you mean by a switch??

I am beginning to update scores now, this will take a little bit of time so please be patient :3

Also guys and gals, this is a tournament on a competitive game...have some honor and don't cheat by playing replays or videos to still read higher speedmods while playing...all you're doing is ruining this for yourself.

Re: New Years Tournament!
 

God help the next ass hole host(s) who picks Xanderax...

I NEVER want to play this again.
