Scary Kids Scaring Kids, hooked on FFR. Plus Skill Tokens 68 and 69!!
In other news, I went to Warped Tour yesterday (Friday). In case you dont know what Warped is, basically its a huge U.S. Tour of mostly rock/screamo/hardcore bands. Its one full day, per city, of nonstop music. Even if you’re not into this kind of music, i still recommend going next summer. Anyways, point of this? I recieved FFR shirts to personally deliver to Scary Kids Scaring Kids. So I met with them and got a few pictures with them. Expect more from SKSK and FFR in the near future! And check out The World As We Know It in the Rock genre.
Off like a prom dress to more concerts,
Skill token update….
Made in Innocent is a song by TaQ, and in this version is remixed by Onoken. Stepfile is by dore. It’s 120bpm, but is mostly 24th gallops, so it feels like 180bpm. I rated it a 9 overall; 0 4-framers, but 24ths always tend to throw me off a bit, like Ruins or Amefuri. To unlock, get 9 or less goods on each of these 3 songs (and Full Combo!): Below the Surface, Save Me, and Parachute. Gotta do them all in a row, in that order. And double check your profile’s last 10 games played after each game to make sure it recorded properly!
Kyuin is our 9th and 2nd to last song in the massive chain. It is a long J-Pop song by MOSAIC.WAV, and to me, sounds strikingly similar to Love Cheat! Stepfile is by hi19hi19… and to paraphrase his description of the song/file… it’s a very annoying 4 minute long song, but the file to it is quite good nonetheless. I rated it an easy 11, For Masters Only, because of its length and 153 4-framers. It will be a challenge to FC for most. Then again, it’ll be an even bigger challenge for most just to access it in the first place. Step one is to unlock Mou Uta Shika Kikoenai (forever abbreviated to Mou Uta). From there, you need to not only Full Combo it, but get 4 or less goods in the process.
Have Fun!

FFR Embeddable Widget hits Facebook
Fast update to the FFR Widget, user MalDON has helped us out by building a solid FFR based application up on Facebook. You can embed the FFR Widget Application by simply installing it and it will show up on your profile.
Hopefully we will see a build of SpinItUP! up there soon too, if things go well. Give us your feedback and look forward to some additional features made available as well with the widgets overall. Make sure to give MalDON props for his hard work!
Chips,
#64 and #65 – Stunt Flying & Prelude to Rites
Stunt Flying (Sanxion7 Mix) is a remix of a song that is apparently by a Dr. Flowershirts, but I can’t find any information about the original besides via Saxxonpike’s site. Cool song, overall. Many of you may know it from StepMania. File is by Silver_Brian. I rated it an 8 for its streams at 142bpm, but I’m thinking it might be a 7. To unlock, play another Saxxonpike song, Palindrome, and Full Combo it.
FFR Embeddable Version 1
I will make this quick and easy for everyone. Yesterday we announced the SpinItUP!2 Embeddable Widget. Everyone loved it but everyone kept asking “Where is the FFR Embeddable Widget?”.
Well I am glad to say that the FFR Embeddable Widget is also ready to deploy. The base version has 7 common and recognizable songs from FFR. In the near future we will also allow you to pick the song or songs that you want to display in the embeddable version. This will be a product that we continue to expand continously. You can find the embedded player code for myspace, facebook and your personal pages by visiting the FFR Embeddable Widget Page. Enjoy! More to be released very soon with this player!
We will also be promoting another new band for FFR embeddable version tomorrow night! Don’t miss it!
Enjoy,
-Tass and that Synthlight guy.
Mou Uta Incognito v2! – #60 and #61
Mou Uta Shika Kikoenai is a Progressive Rock song by dBu (I believe it is from a Touhou game, but not 100% sure). Check out dBu here. Stepfile is by Kotarouchan, his first. File is a low 10, with mid 160s bpm trills and jumpbursts for almost 3 minutes. Unlock is a hard one, as we’re getting pretty close to the end of the chain now. Full Combo PLANETZ to unlock Mou Uta Shika Kikoenai.

TAKE ME DOWN TO SYNTHLIGHT CITY, WHERE THE GRASS IS GREEN AND THE GIRLS ARE PRETTY!
I’d just like to bring this fun little community builder to everyone’s attention. The website Miniville allows communities to build their own city. Chromer created Synthlight City. By clicking on that link, you’ll add +1 to the city’s population, making the overall landscape of our land grow bigger. BUT! Having the biggest population isn’t the only factor. We also have to have people who increase our transit, industry, environment, security, and commerce. If you want to contribute to more than just the population of Synthlight city, you can check out this thread for all the details (and translations to English, as the site is all in French). You can click on 1 link per IP every day, with it re-setting at midnight French time (6pm EST). We have a population of over 1500 currently – 10th in the region, with perfect stats all round. Check out our skyscrapers!
Have fun, and lets build us bigger!

EDIT – changed the link for Synthlight City to a script made by Alainbryden that will optimize everyone’s clicks. That way we can fix our now poor unemployment, pollution, crime, and lack of transportation. It will re-direct you to the correct link.
Did your CREDITS fall down an ABYSS (Downbeat Mix)? – #59
So, now that credits are back in order… we figured we’d release the 2nd skill token for tonight, and get back on track.
Abyss (Downbeat Mix) is a remix of the classic DDR song Abyss, done by Saxxonpike. Melodic 90bpm, it has plenty of 16th minijacks to keep you awake and focused. Stepfile is by Silver_Brian. I rated it a 6, overall… the only difficult parts are the minijacks, and even those go perfectly with the music and are easy to follow. The unlock req is another unique one… with a bit of anti-token to it, in that you have to get at least 1 good, 1 average, 1 miss, and 1 boo. Beyond that, there IS a skill element to it also. The unlock song is Horizon, another Saxxonpike song. On Horizon, you must get your goods * averages * misses * boos to be greater than 0 (hence they all have to be at least 1) BUT less than 5000 (aka, you can’t mash or have 100 goods and 50 averages, or 250 goods and 10 misses and 2 boos). Little bit of math involved, but as long as you’re fairly accurate and don’t mash, you should be fine. Horizon is in Misc.
Enjoy,

Sunlight comes a month early, in Making April – #56 and special
{Sunlight} is today’s 1st skill token release. A light mix by cornandbeans, I’m pretty sure it is from some pop/rock song that I’ve heard, but I can’t place which. Stepfile is MeaCulpa‘s first, and I like it. Mixes 8ths with 12ths with 16ths and a few 24th bursts. Good job at keeping an almost 4 minute long song interesting and not repetitive. The unlock for this is something that a LOT of people have brought up to me as a good token req (and one I’ve had in mind since before skill tokens existed). You may say this is an anti-skill token, but I beg to differ. This is not a skill or an anti-skill token. It is a straight MASH token. It is a skill-less token. Get 1200+ boos on Silence while still passing to unlock. I recommend the quadmash, although the alternating double mash works best if your keyboard can’t register more than 2 keys at a time. Shouldn’t be that hard to get 1400+, IMO. I’ve done it a few times myself.
In other news, I’m sure you ALL have checked out Making April’s new snazzy custom Embedded FFR Player on their myspace. And I know you guys have been anxious to play these files on FFR as well. Well, starting today, you can. There are a total of 6 files of Making April’s that will be released over the next 3 days (3 versions of Driveway, 2 of Roses and Butterflies, and 1 of Jump In). Today we’ll release the Standard version of Driveway, stepfile by SulferDragon and later today we’ll release the Heavy version of Roses and Butterflies, stepfile by Neonatrias. All 6 will be found in Rock.
Check back later today for the 2nd of today’s releases. And consider the Making April releases as my apology for not getting Planetz and Love Cheat! out yesterday.
-Tass
EDIT: I’d like to make it known that while I feel that {Sunlight} does in fact sound similar to some song that I can’t place, I have been informed by cornandbeans that it is quite original and not a mix of anything.
The Planetz have re-aligned and you all are feeling Love Cheat’d – #54 and #55
I know, I know. No tokens yesterday. I’m sorry. LD is sorry. We’re all sorry. The Harry Potter craze got the best of the admins. Regardless, you now get FOUR today.
Yesterday’s 2 are now public… Love Cheat! is a masterpiece of J-Pop by MOSAIC.WAV, tipping the scales at 4 minutes and 28 seconds. If you like J-Pop, you’ll really enjoy Love Cheat! If you don’t like J-Pop, you still probably will like Love Cheat! And if not, the stepfile is quite good too (it’s by Rebirth0). A solid 10 footer, because as the song is 195bpm it causes massive 4-framers. 89 of them, to be precise. Few difficulty jump sections, but all in all not as hard as Sympathizer or some other big time 4-framer songs. The unlock for this is pretty easy, compared the the song’s difficulty… all you need to do is get 500+ combo on Youkoso! Himitsu no suzume bara ya! It’s found in Dance2.
PLANETZ is part 7 of the chain. Another ultra-hyper song by DJ Sharpnel, it is stepped by Brilliant Dynamite Neon. The file is full of long 8th jacks with alternating jumps and 16th jumpbursts at 190bpm. Only 2:12 long, it has 86 4-framers. Because of this, I listed it as an 11 (For Masters Only), but I’ll let you guys weigh in on whether you feel it really is an 11 or just a hard 10. The req for this is a bit harder, but still IMO easy for the file. Full Combo Clash at the Mountains with 9 or less goods. Also, check out the token for it; quite appropriate. Big thanks again to DigitalS3r4ph for the recent token images.
Check back soon for the 2 tokens for today! Also, the subscriber SotW is public as well. Apparently there is not a public SotW release today…. not really sure why that is.
