division of ffr

1) admins/mods
2) the stepmans ~eLiTe cLuB~ (they usually have orange or black usernames cause they're 2 cool for ffR)
3) ffrians (these guys usually have blue names and come in all shapes and sizes)
4) peoples (these people have black names)
5) 1.5 million unused accounts
??) solo ( these guys play with 6 keys )

Stepmania professor right here. lol at #5 because it's true

[Anaru]

#003366 to be specific

[00Razor00]

any ETA on the list of queued files?

[MarioNintendo]

I just re-read my reviews. I agree with most of them, but this one just irks me:

Xanthystrauma (MarioNintendo)

6/10 - weak [+.]

- nice buildup at 101.171s
- a bit long, but alright

All in all, the outcome should've been positive based on the notes written. It doesn't help that I have no clue why I lost 4 points. Is it because it was a bit long?... Probably not, as the reviewer said it was alright. Plus, the buildup at 101.171s was nice!

Well, the judge list certainly does. I think most super-experienced steppers have spent more time stepping for and playing SM than FFR.

Thing is, Stepmania has a lot more pure JS files than FFR does.

attention CBR:
nobody likes a stargroup
get over yourself
also legitimacy of scores doesn't make kommi's files any less good and lol if you think you're better than someone who's been doing this since like 2004

Judging for FFR is the same thing as judging for SM. They're literally the same damn game aside from FFR having less features. FFR and SM files all have their ups and downs, and if you think one is inherently better than the other, you're the elitist shit that is keeping this game dead

also who do i have to blow to get myself added to the R1 Simfile Author group already

[sticklydude]

Fixed up some jumps, the end, and that retarded trill and rolls in Punch You.

Re-did the slow middle section with less jumps in Star Wars Anthology.

\o/

I didn't say one is inherently better, so I dunno how you think what you're saying applies to me. The two games ARE different, though - the main differences (IMO) being that FFR's scoring is combo based and that the available charts in the two games are different (FFR's chart list is fixed and controlled by a central authority, as compared to SM where literally anyone can release a chart and the community decides which packs they care about at any given time). The combo scoring means that we should be less willing to put very hard jacky charts into the game than the ones that exist in SM; the difference in available charts means that we should make an effort to let in more files that represent places where our selection is weak, even if there are plenty of those files available for SM. I think FMO+ jumpstream files is one of the most significant areas where the commonly played FFR and SM song lists differ.

So yeah, judging for FFR and SM are obviously going to be pretty similar. The same basic rules all apply. But if you treat the FFR batch exactly like you'd treat an SM pack, you are going to make some pretty poor decisions on which files to let through and which to reject.

When will the batch reopen actually?

Nope, try again.
Combo scoring (important consideration), framer gaps (even more important consideration) and most importantly, BOOS

Chord cohesion vs. boos is a HUGE difference between FFR and SM, it's why everyone hates the awkward shit patterns on FFR that are actually not that bad when you play them on SM (when bmah sent me Halcyon I found it a hell of a lot more fun on SM, for example- the transitions are much less of a problem on SM because of chord cohesion, which you can't get away with on FFR)

EDIT- and before anyone jumps down my throat, no I'm not saying Halcyon is a shit file (I love 90% of it), I'm talking about the awkward transitions that I haven't seen a single person say something positive about. you know what I'm talking about, tired of people putting words in my mouth

it seriously looks black on my screen

crank down your contrast and you'll see

[t-rogdor]

qqwref, my apologies. I wasn't trying to suggest you thought that, but needed the quote to make the statement have context. You actually seem like one of the few level-headed judges lmao.

Shit, that's a good point. I guess a better way of saying it is that the difference between judging for SM and FFR is like Keyboard and Pad; there are a ton of nuances with both, but they boil down to the same game and saying that there's a drastic difference is a bit extreme.
