Welcome to FFR.

We have a guide up on how to make simfiles. http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...ad.php?t=82080

Also you can't just use any song you want. You have to get the artist's permission. Check here for more details. http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...splay.php?f=63

Welcome to FFR!

Kagome covered mostly everything. Another program that is used to create step charts is DDreamStudio. It's an excellent program to sync music with, but can be complicated to use.

Since you're here to play, many of your gameplay needs can be found in a drop down menu where there's a variety of statistics you can view.


One game stat is Overall Rank. Overall Rank is an indicator of how much you've played. It's ran through everyone's GTS (Grand Total Score). The more points you have, the lower your Overall Rank is. Your GTS can be viewed from the link above, your Gamer Card in you profile, or at the top, right-handed corner of the website.

A low Average Rank is quite different than Overall Rank because it's an excellent indication of your skill level. Average Rank consists of finding the average for every rank you possess in every song, excluding Tokens/Skill Tokens. To view your rank for each level, review your level ranks. If you scroll to the bottom of that page, you'll notice helpful statistics like the following...

Another excellent skill level indication is the Tier Points system. There are five tier ranks; T4 (Pro), T3 (Expert), T2 (Master), T1 (Guru), T0 (God). To be in one of them, you must have a certain amount of tier points. To possess tier points, you must achieve certain scores. Additional information could be found in this thread.


A frecuently asked question is, "how many credits is needed to unlock the complete collection of secret songs in the Secret genre?" The information is contained in this thread. That thread, also, has specific information regarding each song level (difficulty, time length, BPM, total notes, top 10 longest/shortest songs, etc...). It's very useful in all aspects of the game.

Another question sometimes asked is about Tokens/Skill Tokens. Tokens are small, golden tokens with the FFR logo on it that are dispersed throughout the site. It's a game of hide-and-seek. Do not ask where they're located on this site. Once found, they're located in the Token Genre.

Skill Tokens are different, for you must accomplish certain requirements in order to unlock new song levels. The requierments are bolded below the song title. Once you meet the requirement, a white window will appear and the song will be found in the Skill Token Genre.

Yet, another token is the Achievement Tokens. It's very similar to the above two tokens, for it's located in the Token Genre, yet it's obtained much like a Skill Token.

The last type of token is the Support Token. To obtain it, you must download a featured artist's album and you'll be rewarded with a token related to such artist. Check the FFR Store drop down menu, under Album Download for more details. Make sure to refresh the FFR Game once obtained any token.

I hope this was somewhat helpful. Once again, welcome to FFR. Be nice, courteous, but most importantly have fun!

I'm pretty sure you already know this, but...

The forum rules state you can't quote an obsessively large quote.
