The Greatest Night in the History of Our Sport. Testing AvMiss Fix
The title is correct. We having a working solution for a feature (fix) that users have been asking about for approximately 5 years. Omg 5 years… Xelius has been hard at work squashing the AvMiss bug and he looks to be successful. Yes, he has been sifting through unimaginable amounts of tangled and twisted FFR code (I feel bad for the guy). His efforts are nothing short of miraculous and his results are fantastic.
We had a preview tonight but starting tomorrow morning we will be inviting all beta tester (aka subscribers) to come in and experience this new version and note down any bugs you may find. I suspect the results will change FFR scores dramatically. We still have not decide what steps to take in how to handle scores but we will be organizing and sifting through all the subscriber suggestions in order to come up with a solution quickly.
I ask that if you want to help Xelius eat and pay his rent (and help us with our costs) that you subscribe. He has been working insane hours on FFR lately and even more improvements are on their way. As always, we can use as many extra beta testers as possible. For those of you who are already a subscriber, thank you. You all make a huge difference in what we are capable of.
Cheers,
Synthlight + Thanks to Xelius
New FFR Features in Testing for Subscribers!
Some of you may have already seen the following information from Xelius in the forum. For those you who have not, enjoy. Xelius has been working hard on developing FFR 2nd Style updates and refinements.
It’s the day you all been waiting for, some of the most asked for features have been put together in one big update. Before I list them, I would like to thank Nestlekwik and Tass for putting this list together, without them it wouldn’t have been possible. These are subscriber only features for now while we go through testing, available through this link: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/FFR_the_Beta.php
Key Configuration: This is where you map your keys, simple mouse click one of the fields and you’ll be asked to input a key.
MP Opponent Masking: This gives you the option to mask out the opponents arrows during multiplayer games. “Arrows†masks out the arrows, but you’ll still be able to see his ratings. “Full†mask out his whole side.
Cookies: All settings will be saved with cookies, meaning it will default to your last settings when you start the game. Who told you you could set my coOkiEs!? (inside joke)Â ———————————————————————–
Page Navigation: Simply click the page you want to go to and it will take you there.
———————————————————————–
Chat on/off: If you don’t want to get interrupted during a multiplayer game, turning of the chat could be a good idea.
———————————————————————–
There is still plenty on the list. Expect more updates soon!
Hope you enjoy!

MLK Day Special
I hope everyone has had a good day off from school, for those in Middle or High School… and I hope all the College guys and girls are looking forward to a new semester starting up tomorrow. As a little present before things start getting hectic again, I thought I’d give everyone a public song. ROAR (Rage Mix) is a really really catchy techno tune by Dr 1010, and is stepped by SulferDragon. It has some nice bursts at 180bpm, so I rated it a high 8. Shouldn’t be that big of a deal to FC or AAA. It is currently located at the beginning of Dance 2.
There is also a new subscriber song on page 3 of Funk, stepped by jimerax. You can thank Smartdude1212 for nagging me constantly about that.Â

New Staff! Congratulate them NAO!
It’s been a long time since we’ve added anyone to the ranks of Super Moderator, and we felt that not only was it time to do so, but that there were 2 very obvious and deserving candidates. Their dedication to the site can not be put into words. That and I’m feeling a bit lazy with my praise at the moment. So, show some spirit for DrugstoreCowboy and devonin, our 2 newest Super Mods!
Also given some cool new powers is Sprite- (which some of you have noticed already over the past few days)! He’s been made a MP Mod, as well as given forum mod powers over the FFR Related forums (General, Brag Board, etc). Drugstore has also been given MP powers, because just like Noah, we have to do everything in pairs.
Finally… we’ve created a new subforum, for school-related assistance. It’s our Homework & General Information subforum, located within Critical Thinking. Check it out here, and make sure to read the specific rules for the forum here. It is NOT a place for others to do your homework for you… it IS a place to ask for general assistance on how to go about doing a type of problem or assignment. Basically, it will follow the adage, “Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man how to fish, and he’ll eat for a lifetime.” We will be strict in enforcing rules within this forum, at a CT level.
So, once again, say congrats to Drugstore, Devonin, and Sprite! Thanks for all the help so far guys, and keep up the good work!

Word Games and some updates. Gimmie a Stickie!
Likely most of you have noticed in the profiles the Word Scramble. Additionally, you have likely seen that the behavior of the block for them has changed. We have another 2 word games coming online hopefully this week, after going through testing with the staff and FFR Subscribers of course 
Also, we have a new FAQ in testing with more info going into the FAQ than ever before. That old FAQ (current) has needed an update like forever ago. Nestlekwik is working his fingers off in the new one as well.
Finally, regarding the profile entertainment, I will send out 1 – 5.5×5.5 FFR Guy Sticker for the first 10 (ten) users that post a Random Thought in their profile that makes me giggle, and has a title of “FFR Stickers Make My Bumper Look Better“. Make sure its exactly that text or I won’t find it either!
I will comment and post the winners here. Winners to be announced at 11:30pm EST, so that gives you over an hour.
Anything good is accepted, just don’t spam it up senselessly .. and if I find a really good one, might send out a shirt to that user too. Profile styles that make my time even more interesting will always help too
Will post again as this goes forward.
Creative Genius Is In
A ton of interesting responses out there. Some even scary. However, the ones that gave me the biggest .. or oddest chuckle are as follows:
MystictheHedgehog (Simplicity made me laugh)

bluguerrilla (For interesting honesty)
zajac (Mr Coke for the win)

Christmas is Upon Us! Come Unwrap Your Songs!
You’ve been patient up until today, but the final day of FFRMas is now upon us and two brand new Christmas songs are available for play in the Misc. genre:
The Mannheim Steamroller rendition of Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow is no longer widget-exclusive, making a difficulty level 3 debut to the public with a [Heavy] stepfile created by ElectricWerewolf. Fresh off the Flash presses is the humorous song A Christmas Carol by Tom Lehrer, which features a vocal-timed difficulty level 5 stepfile by Talisman.
While everyone is in the holiday spirit, don’t forget about last year’s addition of Carol Megamix by Hiro (9 by Rebirth0), which you can also find located in the Misc. genre.
To conclude the 12 Days of FFRMas, an additional three non-holiday oriented songs, located at the bottom of the Hip-Hop genre, round out the event:
First, Sabrepulse’s Horizon Remix features three minutes of tricky patterns including trills, yellow note streams and air step alternations in a level 8 stepfile by rshadow8888. Shind Bad hangs another DJ Sharpnel song onto the FFR tree with a difficulty 9 stepfile by Rebirth0 that throws out plenty of high speed yellow note streams and quickfire air steps. Another artist making a return in FFR with a difficulty 9 rating is Smiley feat. KaW in Euphoria where eastsideman09′s stepfile flows with the busy, yet cheerful, melody.
So there you have it, another five songs to add even more cheer to your holidays. We hope you have enjoyed the second-annual 12 Days of FFRMas and we look forward to seeing our users as we now look ahead to the year 2008.

FFRMas Eve Yields Early Presents
On the 11th day of FFRMas, Flash Flash Revolution gave to you:
The easiest of tonight’s files introduces Cid’s Theme Piano Concerto by XBrav, bringing in a short difficulty 2 stepfile by vemuck that is stocking-stuffed full of air steps. Difficulty level 7 does double-duty tonight, first with The Final Fantasy by B0UNC3, a constant file by Kalazor that presents tricky patterns of yellow note streams accented by air steps. Tonight’s second level 7 is Black Noise –_– by Zenon, which thanks to stepfile artist Scytlock, should serve as any yellow-note stream fanatic’s dream. Finally, tonight’s hardest stepfile comes in the form of cornandbean’s {I Don’t Need You Anymore}, a level 10, 5:05 long marathon featuring tricky streams courtesy of dore. You should know the drill by now, but all four songs are located at the bottom pages of the hip-hop genre.
On the eve of Christmas, only one more day is left in the 12 Days of FFRMas. What awaits you on the final day? Come back tomorrow and see what lies underneath the FFRMas tree.
FFRMas Day 10: Four More Songs
Sorry for delay, but I have just received word that the files for Day 10 of the 12 Days of FFRMas are now live, making four more Flash Flash Revolution songs available in the hip-hop genre – scroll down three pages and you’ll see them listed as the last songs:
First up, providing a mellow 2 difficulty, Nina Goddess of Dance brings more Euro house to FFR with the addition of Don’t You Want Me, a stepfile by MixMasterLar that flows with the airy vocals and bassline. Bumping up the difficulty, Progression by Draigun enters in with a difficulty level 9 stepfile by Silvuh that continually flows with triplets and is accented with tricky parts all through the song. The next two additions turn the difficulty dial up to 10 – Neonatrias provides a quickfire stepfile with the intense Ascii Art Core by Yamajet that will have you seeing plenty of yellow. Shanghai Girl of Meiji 17 by dBu is a little more laid back with a file by behanjc, which follows the song’s orchestral feel, but unlike the fast-paced 1:24 runtime of Ascii Art Core, this level 10 file runs just short of four minutes.
Of course, being that it is now day 11 in the event, you should expect to see another update later today with even more FFR song additions.
