hi19hi19's Delicious Custom Theme Tournament

[xXOpkillerXx]

Let's get this started now ;3

[EzExZeRo7497]

Ready for next round, though I'll be thrashed anyways

[Magicturbo]

I was hoping to improve, but this was the best I could manage before. Haven't been able to play since yesterday morning and I'll be away till Monday, so unless I get an extension, this is the best I can do for now. See ya Monday!

[hi19hi19]

If you feel you will need an extension, just ask...
I prefer by PM so that I can track them easier

[yo man im awesome]

Right, so not only am I still recovering, (I'm doing moderately well), it's my Birthday and I thought It'd be a good idea to have some friends over for the day. I won't be playing any serious FFR, but I might play a little to fill their minds with fuck.

[hi19hi19]

The spreadsheet has been updated to this point, thanks to qqwref.

Tomorrow, I will be making that list of extensions and Tournament Point/Individual Scoring spreadsheet I keep promising. Stuff keeps coming up.
I also have a special announcement to make concerning credits and prizes tomorrow

But the main reason I am posting is, round 3 is going up shortly! I am finishing the post for it.
D1, D2, and D4 are in for some ROUGH times this round... D3 gets to take a breather after this last tough round, and D5 get to wait one more round for their true buttrape to start.

There will also be a side game this round!... but I'm still writing it and it will not be ready for when the round goes up. I'll try to get it to you early Sunday, or earlier whenever I send out the round start PMs

Anyway, stay tuned, new round incoming.

REMEMBER, ROUND 2 STILL DOES NOT END UNTIL SATURDAY 10PM
Get your scores in for that round if you have not submitted yet!


Round 3
Theme: Maidens of Metal
About the theme:
Metal. The word evokes images of shirtless guys with long hair wailing on their guitars, intense drum fills with gritty vocals and... beautiful women with operatic voices?
It's more likely than you think: this round focuses on metal with female lead vocals!
(before you say it, yes I realize the pun I could have made with Iron Maiden and "Maidens of Metal," no you are not clever for thinking of it)
I would up mostly focusing on Northern European Symphonic/Melodic/Power Metal bands, but there's plenty more out there I couldn't make files for.
If you find you like this sound, here's a few dozen more bands to check out in addition to the five featured this round:
Krypteria, Xandria, Nemesea, Satyrian, Lyriel, Arkona, Katra, Indica, Sirenia, Amaranthe, Evanescence, Tristania, Ancient Bards, Crimfall, Imperia, Magica...



D1
Sensorium
Artist: Epica
Steps: hi19hi19
Difficulty: 8
Length: 2:01
Max Combo: 823
Framers: 0,0,0,5,2

About the file: Okay, hopefully you guys are done AAAing things as of now. Jeez.
This song is the same length as last round but boasts roughly 200 more arrows, making it a lot more dense.
The handful of minijacks and a climax ending should prove a good challenge for D1 players this round.



D2
Avalon
Artist: Lunatica
Steps: hi19hi19
Difficulty: 10
Length: 2:26
Max Combo: 1163
Framers: 0,0,0,0,1

About the file: Oh my, look at all that jumpstream.
This file is a nice long consistency test- some long runs of 145 bpm jumpstream. While not too dense, it is very relentless.
Playing this file should serve as an excellent introduction to the coming mid-VC and up level files.
I was torn between high 9 and low 10 for this file, so as usual I rated high. Let me know if it needs to be bumped down.



D3
Starlight Reverie
Artist: Edenbridge
Steps: hi19hi19
Difficulty: 10
Length: 3:00
Max Combo: 1995
Framers: 0,0,0,10,5

About the file: So I hit you guys pretty hard last round, huh.
Main Theme (The Legend of Zelda) actually got bumped to an 11 mid-round, it took me by surprise how hard it wound up being in FFR.
This round should be a little bit of a breather- it wound up easier than I expected, a solid 10 but not too hard.
At only 140 bpm, the jumpstream in this song is very slow by D3 standards, but it makes up for that in relentlessness and density.
The jumpstream is continuous for almost the entire file, and at 3:00 long you might start feeling a stamina drain... enjoy!



D4
Arctica
Artist: Amberian Dawn
Steps: hi19hi19
Difficulty: 12
Length: 3:17
Max Combo: 2412
Framers: 0,0,6,26,465

About the file: Oh boy. Nice FGO you got there D4, hm?
Summary: multiple 200 bpm JS sections, a crazy colorfucced solo section with some 300+ bpm bursts, and hyperlayered 8th jump/hand sections.
You guys thought Angel Island Zone was hard? Oh this will be good



D5
Crownless
Artist: Nightwish
Steps: hi19hi19
Difficulty: 12
Length: 2:49
Max Combo: 1953
Framers: 0,0,5,232,24

About the file: The last of D5's jack files arrives.
There's a good deal of bootraps in this file, and some incredibly aggressively layered 16th jumpspams, but it's not too bad by D5 standards.
From here on out it's borderline 13 stuff, so enjoy your last mid FGO.

THERE WILL BE A SIDE GAME THIS ROUND
I haven't had a chance to finish it but I will post it maybe late tonight, otherwise on Sunday.
Stay tuned!

[Puzzler64]

These jumpsteams were not bad

[xXOpkillerXx]

Omg ouch file is wut xD

[RadiantVibe]

I should be able to AAA D2's song as long as I have enough stamina :P
I like the song as well so that helps. (My best so far is 5G)

[Plan_Bsk81127]

lol I am pretty bad at this chart

[mrpreggers]

I'm waiting to see how badly the rest of my division does so I know whether I should be ashamed of myself or not..

[Anaru]

Great D4 file! It's much, much, much easier than D5's file though. D5's file doesn't just 'clock in barely' over D4's. :P






























wrong division??

[hi19hi19]

heh okay fine not "just barely"
I'll edit that if it so offends you <3

Nice AAAs

[Anaru]

you know jacks are my weakness

[xXOpkillerXx]

Yeah weakness, yeah, jacks, are your, yeah, they're, your weakness. *looks at AAA and is mad jelly* *looks at own score and laugh at the failure it is*

EDIT: Omg this is pathetic. hi19, even though the file IS stepped really well, you don't even know how I think it's aids XD

[hi19hi19]

Yay super clean score finally, my fingers came alive for once.
EDIT- just realized this perfectly ties Tidus's score on this round hehu



Then they died again.

[xXOpkillerXx]

Edited my previous post hi19, just in case you missed it. :3 also gg on Airship ;D

[hi19hi19]

Yeah I showed Crownless to Halogen a long time ago and he called it quote "agressively layered" aka "**** man what is this AIDS" in a more polite manner of speaking.

It was really hard to find a good song for D5 that fit this theme, so I just took a jack-y sounding song and made a layerdump. Sorry
