meet your makers. (d6 destroyers)
i thought it would be interesting to get to know those who i myself, as well as others, look at as the top of the food chain so to say when it comes to rhythm gaming. what does a top rhythm gamers normal day look like? well thats the point of this thread. id like to interview "top" players with some questions that i have come up with, just to get to know who they really are.. besides amazing arrow smashers. so to cut to the chase, here are the questions i plan on asking top players:
i really hope that all of the top players will participate in this interview. i think it will be great to get to know those who amaze myself, and others with their skill. i will post another thread that consists of the same questions to all players later, so that we can get to know all of the community, and not just the elite.. first we begin with iironiic, who not only is an amazing key smasher, but an amazing person. his personality is greater then his skill in ffr by far. great friend! :] once again thank you to wilson aka iironiic for the time! next up we have the TC_Halogen aka aj. Halogen has been apart of the community for quite some time now, and is well known. not only is he a great all around rhythm gamer, but is also very involved in the community. for those of you who do not know, aj, with the help of friends, have brought us the dragon fury engine. he has hosted tournaments with custom files that have run flawlessly. that said, besides being an elite player, hes also very organized, and gives alot to the community. a big thank you goes out to halogen for everything he has done for the community! once again thank you AJ for taking the time to answer the questions! next we have alexdest who has one of the best MA accuracy out there. he continues to impress all with his scores. gaming aside, he is down to earth, and gets along with everyone in the community. i myself love to see him post insane scores :] following alexdest's interview, we have Dossar, who is very well known around here. he is without doubt the best here on ffr, and arguably SM. theres not much to say other then the fact that hes been beasting kids since his arrival. sky is the limit for dossar, and i myself am looking forward to what he can add to his list of achievements. samurai7694, who just so happens to enjoy pictures of monkeys eating watermelon, is my next pick. with an average rank of 1, and a 100% full combo bar, its obvious that luis should be considered the best around. he is a serious threat in tournaments to others in d6. farts. next up is FFR's very own, One Winged Angel aka rob. for me, rob has been one of my favorite players since ive got to know him. his personality is great, and he has a hot girlfriend that AAA's fmos. kidding. but not really. jokes aside, rob is truly someone i have looked up to. great player, better person. next up is Opkiller~ Opkiller was influenced by guitarhero which later brought him to key smashing. with an average rank of 1, and some recent extremely impressive scores, i myself am interested to see how he does in the official tourny. icontrolyourworld aka icy is next up on the list. before his arrival to FFR, he was very well known in the SM scene. i was extremely surprised to see how quick icy climbed the ranks to where he is today. with an average rank of 13, and over 80% of all public songs AAA'd icy continues to impress. i decided to ask icy 2 questions that i have not asked the other pros. hope you guys enjoy! the next to be interviewed is someone who i think is the player of 2012 in my opinion. EzExZeRo7497 has improved EXTREMELY fast. his recent scores posted have baffled me. up next we have leonid~ leonid is someone i have looked up to since i have started playing FFR. watching his vids/replays always blew me away, and that hasnt changed. leonid is a serious threat when he decides to particiapte in tournys, as all of d6 knows very well. Following leonid, is someone else i have looked up to since ive started played FFR/SM, Bluearrowll. ive always been impressed with Terry's skill. yomanthiskidsawesome.. no but seriously.. yo man im awesome has some serious skills. if you post in the ffr scores thread, or read through it.. its crazy how fast he has improved. id just like to let everyone know that the OP (original post) WILL be updated with new interviews as i receive them. i encourage those who were listed to PM me the answers to my questions when they have time. a new batch of interviews will be conducted once the following have concluded. thanks, and i hope everyone enjoys.

Re: meet your makers. (d6 destroyers)
I really like this thread. Do you want people answering those same questions, or do you plan on giving certain people their own unique questions?

Re: meet your makers. (d6 destroyers)
same questions would be great. it would be awesome if i hear from those that i have listed. although new questions might come into play later. i can always PM those who have not answered them, and add them to their interview. but for now, i like the set of questions that are listed.

Re: meet your makers. (d6 destroyers)
for those who dont know you, could you introduce yourself, and let everyone know a little bit about you. where you are from, participate in any sports, let us know!
I'm Jerry, I like to play ffr, work out, skateboard, play guitar, and just have a fun time. I live in Portland Oregon and I love it here. I never played on any real time sports because I was really poor throughout school, but I do MMA on the side and like to play football and kickball. what does a normal day for you consist of? I usually try to work out first so everything I eat in the day benefits my workout more directly. I am about to start college but for now I have a ton of free time. I usually play ffr, skate now that it is nice out, and hang out and sometimes party with my friends. could you let everyone know what settings you use when you play as far as speed, keys, engine, and any other settings. Currently I use 1.9 speed mod on ffr. My key set up is er[] right now but I change it quite a bit, keeping my hands around the same distance as that set up. I play ffr and all alternate engines on legacy on low res. I not only do this because I am used to it, but also because there is no other way for me to play without getting serious lag. besides gaming in general, what are your hobbies/interests? I already listed my main hobbies, but there is a little more that interests me. I am an athletic person so I really just get a kick out of pushing my limits in general. I live my life to spread positivity whenever I can, I'm a dreamer and only believe in giving it your all. I'm also very curious and love to find out how things work. Although I love to make friends and be cooperative as a society, I love friendly competition. I usually want to be the best at everything I do but I don't mind people being better then me at anything. how long have you been playing rhythem games, and who got you started? I actually picked up ffr before anything and the only other rhythem game I have played is guitar hero. I got started because my friend phelan found this site in early 2008 and rubbed in my face how he was better then me even though I never played. I wanted to prove I could get better so I passed him up and he quit haha. Anyways I pretty much love music and I can keep rhythem in my head very well so I fell in love with ffr. when do you feel you have reached "expert" so to say level of stepmania/ffr? I suppose around march 2012, I really started feeling proud recently when almost all the top players started encouraging me and telling me I was almost one of them. about how much do you practice/play ffr/sm a week? when I was playing a ton earlier this year it was around 30 hours a week. Lately though I avg 10 hours per week. It's hard to say it just depends on priorities I have to deal with and if it is the rainy season(I love being outside in the summer too much) who would you say your rival is? I don't think I could pick out a single rival, I have a ton and I always aim for the best so I'll just say D6 is my rival with the official ffr tournament coming up, where do you see your self placing? I see myself placing top 12 but I am shooting for top 8. Hard to say since I don't know how much I'll improve. can you give any advice to those who are trying to improve? First off you need confidence. Everything I do in life I try to be in top mental shape and ffr is no different. Second you need determination, if I were to get super upset every time I had a bad day on ffr, I wouldn't be where I am today. Everybody has bad days and if you let them get to you, it only makes it worse. There are many other ways to improve but I'll finish by just saying push your limits. I try and get in at least a 10 minute session or more every time I play, where I play just to get a little speed boost. if you could change, or add something to ffr what would you change/add? I love ffr and I wouldn't want my personal opinion to get in the way of how great this site already is. The thing I would love to see though is amazing accuracy in the legacy engine, since I don't play SM this would be ideal in order to improve my accuracy to further lengths

I love this thread. It makes FFR that much more intense. I feel like I'm watching a sponsored TV show or a livestream!
