4(04)th of July~

Happy 4th of July FFR!

Much like the recent Canada Day version, I’ve got a bit of a SponCon for you guys today. Nice and simple, just take a photo of yourself doing the most canadian… American* thing you can possibly do. This could involve costumes, props, friends, food, paint, your left foot, ANYTHING that you’d like. A few little rules as usual…

- – > Must be Canadian…  American themed
- – > Max of 3 photos per entry
- – > PHOTO = NO PHOTOSHOP
- – > No nudity or illegal activities

Prizes for the 5 runners-up is 20,000 credits plus one of the following:
Tell v3 (extended mix), Coactive [Over My Shoulder Mix] or Dendrite v2.

The winner will land themselves a the choice between the 2 event tokens – FREEDOM DiVE or The Wisest Were Wrong + 50,000 credits!!! (There is a physical prize for this too, but I haven’t thought of one yet, accepting suggestions though~)

Upload your pics to imgur.com or something similar and visit the thread, post your pics (please use [spoiler] tags if the images are too large and stretch the page). Please remember to be nice to other users and no flaming based on other peoples images, as it may cost you your entry and chance at some neat 4th of July prizes.

Contest ends on thursday night @ 11:59pm server time

To add on to this special little occassion I’ve also whipped up a new skill token for you to get your arrow-mashing fingers on. It’s the 404th of July by Funtastic Power! Stepped by megamon88, this fast and furious 1 minute blast of a chart will get your hands into the spirit of things for the day. To unlock it simply pass July with 4 goods and 4 misses (4-0-4-0 for you guys and your PA lingo).

EDIT: CANADA DAY WINNERS!!

1st Place: xMUSICxMASTERx – this was close for the win, but if you squeezed any more canada into those 2 pictures you’d spontaneously combust into a leg of canadian bacon with maple leaves for hair.

Runners up (In no particular order): One Winged Angel, ce1545, ohsosilly, jductape & T-Force. I can’t say which of these I liked more, Rob’s outdoor public effort, Aaron’s half nekkid syrup-fetish pic. Loved the other 3, hockey and moose (meese?) are quite canadian indeed~

Please PM me, or jump into prochat to let me know which token you’d like for your prize. If you happen to already own all the tokens you qualify for (runners up, that is), I’ll throw 20k your way to offset it ;D

Happy Canada Day~

In celebration of Canada Day we’ve made FFRs header a little more ‘canadian’ and I’ve got a bit of a SponCon for you guys. Nice and simple, really.

Get to it, eh??

Edit: Forgot to mention, that due to the Official Tournament, there will be no regular song release this week. Please hang in there and get psyched for the 1st round, which will be posted here on the front page a.s.a.p.

SotW, Official Tournament & Difficulty Update~

So a few things to talk about once again. Song of the Week, some official tournament stuff and lastly a bit of a pointer regarding some of the confusion regarding the new difficulty system!

So without any delay, here are this weeks songs.

EDIT: Crowdpleaser v2 is fixed!!! Scores now recording as normal~

[Jun 23 Released Songs]
Chronograph by YU (Tidus810) – Expert [67] / 2:26 / Misc. / Artcore
Sonata Pathétique – Mov. I by Ludwig van Beethoven (who_cares973) – Very Challenging [63] / 2:33 / Classical / Classical Piano Solo
Crowdpleaser v2 by SGX (DossarLX ODI) – Master [70] / 2:38 / Skill Token / Techno
Windy Valley (Genesis’d) by Reone662 (Silvuh) – Very Difficult [47] / 1:26 / Arcade / Game Remix

To unlock Crowdpleaser v2, simply pass Crowdpleaser with double digit goods, double digit averages, double digit misses AND double digit boos. (sound like a mouthful?) We’re also proud to welcome Tidus810 to our ever-growing family of FFR Step Artists, hopefully we’ll see more charts from him in the future.
The Veteran’s song from last week is now publicly available.
Nix-Tek by Fighter X (kommisar) – Master 70[16] / 2:14 / Arcade / Chiptronica

Let us know what you think about this release and any problems in the SotW thread~

So, on to the 7th Official Tournament!! We have over 700 players signed up this year already!!
Sign-ups are still open till 11:59:59PM on Saturday, 30th June. So get in fast!
There is also an Official Thread to ask questions in, and also contains the details of the start dates and massive prizepool including 9 million+ credits!! (click the image above to register~)

And before I leave you to your arrow-smashing for the coming week, there is an issue I’d like to address.
It seems that a lot of users are complaining about the way the 1-99 difficulties look in the engine, so I’d like to point out that there is a way to toggle between views.

- First open up your engine and click on settings

- Then check the ‘On’ next to “Use low difficulties”.

Note: Sometimes this won’t jump into effect until you’ve played a song, but next time you look in your song list/genres, they will be displayed in the 1-20 scale!

//takes a deep breath
Okay! So now that we have all of those things cleared up, enjoy the release this week and get practicing for the tournament!!

So put some words down with your opinions on this weeks release in this weeks thread.
On a side-note, you may notice we’ve started using the new terms/difficulty system on the front page. If you aren’t sure how this all works, take a look at the new difficulties sticky in the difficulty subforum. Also keep your eyes peeled for the 7th Official Tournament registrations~

~nois-or-e and the FFR Staff

Hang in there~

Apologies for the delay on SotW, rest assured we have the songs ready and waiting in-game. Tournament Registrations will open for the 7th Official tournament within the next 24hrs. Just waiting on a few little details on each to make the full announcements.

Thanks for your patience guys!

~nois-or-e

(and before it is mentioned, yes this update is going to touch on last weeks release that was missed due to difficulty system changes/work)

New Difficulty System Update~

Sup guys, just giving you the heads-up. I’ll be messing with the difficulties over the next day or so, so if you start to see some random errors or songs with horribly odd difficulty numbers, just try to ignore it for the meantime. There are some engine changes being made, and almost every file in-game is going to be re-ordered within its genre in the engine, as well as having a new difficulty assigned to it. This is a massive task with there being approx. 1300~ songs on FFR. So I am asking you all to be patient, and wait to see how it all turns out in a few days.

Thanks in advance everyone!!
