Because we gotta reserve a lot of them for the official tournament.

After the tournament however, files will be released as a greater pace (speculating upwards to 7/week)

Release the earth blew up as a tourney file please !

Any opinion on the other suggestion? :P

[xThai]

hurry up someone interview lj

[Jerry DB]

at first I thought you were gonna put me in the next batch but now I see your adding ICYworld so maybe you just didn't see mine, I did the interview in post number 15. I don't mind if you don't use me, I just thought you would because you had iironic and we are similar skills. Anyways this thread is looking pretty cool, I'll answer the other questions if you want me to

Don't think combo scoring will be ditched, due to the fact that it's part of what makes FFR unique from some other DDR/SM counterpart. Sadly, it has become an attribute of FFR now.

idk, ask Velo - it might be deliberately a beta-only feature however

(I say this because my first file is in queue, and I really want to see public response, and havent even started another keyboard chart because I want that response first.)

If you haven't noticed, we already do give priority to new stepartists. However, there are other considerations* that also need to be taken into account to help determine the order of release.
*age of file, difficulty, tokens and themes, etc.

Did not notice
Thanks though

Not trying to piss on the thread idea but is this top rhythm gaming or "top FFR players". Because as a rhythm gamer in general I am very adept at ITG, popn music, FFR, IIDX etc. etc., but this seems to only be focused on those who are good at FFR and may not be good general overall rhythm gamers.

amen

[MikeShinoda12345]

combo scoring is cool

[Herogashix]

I'll do this cause I can play.

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!

Name's Travis, 15, male (questioned often). I'm from London Ontario Canada, which is a pretty damn boring place. I enjoy playing games that don't have anything to do with story (eg, FPS, freelancing RPG (MMO style), etc). I don't do sports cause I'm weak and asthmatic. I'm not good with explaining myself at all.

what does a normal day for you consist of?

Waking up, brushing my teeth, going on the computer. Not necessarily to play Stepmania, cause that'd mean I'm a huge f***** with no life. Usually I'm busy learning Korean or doing stuff for homeschooling. After I get off the computer since I use a shared computer, I end up either going back to sleep or playing something else. I don't really like eating unless the food's cooked already.

could you let everyone know what settings you use when you play as far as speed, keys, engine, and any other settings.

For FFR, I use 1.95x and DFJK. On songs with jumpgluts that are annoying (like in Death Piano) I use something closer like ZXCV or M,./. I spend a fair bit on Dossar's Tourney engine, usually playing difficulty 13+ files.

besides gaming in general, what are your hobbies/intrests?

I have no idea as to my hobbies and/or interests, since basically all I do is Touhou and Stepmania for the day.

how long have you been playing rhythem games, and who got you started?

I got started back in Grade... 2? My brother's friend introduced me and him to Stepmania then, and I've liked it ever since. Since it was in grade 2, I'd say it's been 8 years.

when do you feel you have reached "expert" so to say level of stepmania/ffr?

Well, for everyone it can differ because of the variety of file styles (like JS and technical files), but I feel that I became "expert" as soon as I was able to A 11eleven on Stepmania. That's when I took interest in harder files like Chik Habit Oni, Nemo, Kryptonite and various others. Though in general I feel that normal people would become "expert" as soon as they can play For Gurus Only files without much difficulty. (By that, I mean that they can potentially SDG, AAA or just get clean scores [x-0-0-0].)

about how much do you practice/play ffr/sm a week?

I don't play much as of late, but I used to play every single day for at least 3 hours. I had one day where I played for 11 hours.

who would you say your rival is?

I'm not quite sure if I have a personal rival that's on or a little above my skill level, but I like to push myself to do better by comparing my scores to people's like, say, Staiain or AlexDest. Although my scores don't come close, it pushes me to do better. Just like a rival would.

with the official ffr tournament coming up, where do you see your self placing?

It depends, cause D6 can be pretty brutal depending on what happens. Last tourney I was almost knocked out cause Kono Spoon was awkward as hell to me. I don't see myself in the top 10.

can you give any advice to those who are trying to improve?

Practice on songs you can't do. If you can play Hatten Carnival, play something like Heavenly Spores. Learn how to read patterns and practice that hand-eye-coordination and you'll be good in no time.

if you could change, or add something to ffr what would you change/add?

Since the engine and song choice aren't a big deal, I'd just say the overall site look. I know Velo's hard at work making a new site layout.

how do you feel about the recent difficulty change?

1-99 is pretty annoying, cause I can't sort that easily. With the coming 1-20 I think it'd be a little easier to know what's hard and what's not as hard. So I guess it's a good change.

who would you say surprised you the most this year as far as "skill boost" goes?

EzExZeRo. I can't necessarily explain how, but he wasn't this good before.

what feature would you like to see added/changed, and why? (let the community speak, and im sure it will make FFR better :] )

On every site page in the top right corner is your player stats, right? I'd like to see either AAAs, FCs, or TPs listed instead of Games Played. And instead of Overall Rank, it should be Average Rank. That's all I'd like changed.

tldr; i'm a ***

what counts as 'top FFR player'. Like 10+ FGO AAA's?

[MikeShinoda12345]

herogashix...
you've been playing this game for more than half your life
wth

ps "where do you see yourself placing" = place, not division

I only have 3 lmfao.

And I think a "top FFR player" is a subjective term.

Top FFR/SM players, 4 key is what I was thinking.

I'm honestly not good at the other games you mentioned, like IIDX, pop'n, osu, Taikojiro, and so on. I find that it is relevant for m0de to be talking about the game that the site is mainly focused on.

However, you *can* be a top rhythm gamer for a certain game, if that makes sense. samurai7694 for example may not be that strong at something like IIDX, but he's definitely a top player in FFR, and FFR is a rhythm game which you can be "at the top of the food chain". I probably didn't word that very well, but to me I think m0de's wording made sense.

[m0de]

icy, and eze's interview have been added to the OP. icy's interview contains 2 additional questions. im prepping the next batch of players to be interviewed, and their names will be released asap.

who thinks staiain should do a video interview? because i think he should!
