Skill Tokens For July 4th featuring some Sharpnel and Envy
I am going to keep this brief, as Tass will likely have some more comments later this evening (after fireworks and all 
).
Skill Token #19 is out: Zephon by DJ Sharpnel is stepped by rednanaki
Skill Token #20 is out: Ninjitsu by Envy stepped by BEN.(SPEIRS) 7.5
Refer to the Skill Token page for more info regarding the tokens
More shortly, but you know the routine … we sneak things out gradually, and both Tass and Synth like to keep their suprises .. well, secret. Happy 4th you US Folks!
Chows,
Lift Up – Skill Token # 6/62
Lift Up is a cool techno beat by long time music producer Aerogroove. If you want to check out more of his stuff, go to his website. File is fairly straightforward. It’s a 7 in difficulty. Steps are by ~Zero~; this is his 1st song on FFR, but expect more from him!
To unlock Lift Up, you must get at least 340 perfects on the song 8-Bit Day Dreamer, also by Aerogroove. Yes, this req is very easy for a song that is of medium difficulty… there IS a reason for this, which will become clearer over the month. So no complaining!

Release the Battle Ax – Skill Token #4/62
Battle Ax is a crazy fun song by Onoken. 9 on the difficulty scale, with all kinds of jump triplets and 16th bursts with jumps in them. Rated a 9/12 on the difficulty scale. Stepfile is a collab between macgravel and Exag0n, two well respected stepfilers.
To unlock it, Full Combo ESC -Super Version- with 2 goods or less. No averages, no boos. either AAA, Black Flag, or 2 goods. as per levelstats, 61 people currently meet that req, but I suspect we’ll have more than that within 24 hours alone.
Basically…. you’re going to want to have this skill token. Battle Ax is worth it to whore ESC.
-Tass & his Battle Ax of DOOM…. on this, his 4 year anniversary with Whorli.
A Little Tribal To Start Your Day
Skill Token #3 of the month is being brought to you by the letter T. Tribal Style is a song by Kyle Ward, under his KaW alias. To unlock it, you must Full Combo Tribal Revival. Stepfile is by Brilliant Dynamite Neon & shortysnmn2010. File is pretty straightforward; once again, a 7 in difficulty – “Difficult”.
Enjoy, and don’t forget to have your Bran.

Skill Token: #2/62
Calm (Short ‘n’ Slow Mix) is now out. Very soothing file by Pyroshock. To unlock it, get at least as many goods as you have misses on the song I Can See The Light (also by Pyroshock). Yes, you can even have 0 goods and 0 misses. This is a VERY simple req.
PS – 2 hours left in the contest! Submit your entries here. Free subscriptions to the 5 closest of each!

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. OMG?
So, today is FINALLY July 1st. I no, rite? Couldn’t get here soon enough. Lets start off Skill Token Month with a bang! You are NOT going to want to leave FFR all day long. First off, 2 skill tokens will be released at some point today. They are:
Emotions v2, by Silver_Brian, our resident v2 simfile author. Emotions is one of our old-school files, a song by Trance [] Control and originally stepped by the one and only bemaniruler (who is so old in the bemani world that he actually coined the term stepfile). Very cool song, although unfortunately v1 is offsync. 
BUT! Now we have a v2 that isn’t and is tons of fun to play. Rated a 7 for overall moderate difficulty. Probably a low 7, IMO. To unlock it you’ll need to get 400+ perfects, 20+ goods, AND 20+ averages on Emotions v1 (which has 500 notes).
Calm (Short ‘n’ Slow Mix) is a very soothing, simple, and melodic song by Pyroshock. What do you know… the song is calming. Anyway, it is a 3 in difficulty… nice and easy to start the month off. File is by hi19hi19. The req to unlock it is also QUITE simple… get goods >= misses on I Can See The Light. Aka, you can AAA it and it’ll unlock, you could set autofail to perfects of 1 and hit the 1st note and unlock it… easy file, easy unlock.
Also, as you all are waiting for… other fun features will be added today too! I’ll be updating this thread when things (new features or songs) get added. So check back often!
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE
Starting right now, and going until 7pm PST (10pm EST, 9pm CST, 8pm MST)…. we’re having a CONTEST! to guess the overall Grand Total Score of all the players on FFR of all time AND separately to guess the overall Games Played of all the players on FFR of all time. This is the link you can use to submit your guesses. PRIZES!: The person who is closest to the GTS will get a 6 month subscription. The 2nd-5th closest will get a 1 month subscription. The person who is closest to the Games Played will get a 6 month subscription. The 2nd-5th closest will get a 1 month subscription. Have Fun guessing!
-Tass & LD’s code (but not actually LD)
EDIT: Emotions v2 is available for unlock! The time is 10:07am PST.
HYPE! An Evil 4 Letter Word. July: Month of the Skill Token!
Few things to share with you guys today. First off, I’d like to formally announce July as Skill Token Month. I know we had hinted at it before, but now it is official. We will be releasing SIXTY TWO skill tokens throughout the month of July… 2 per day, each and every day. Some reqs will be simple. Others will be insanely difficult. I’ll do my best to be original on all the reqs and match an easier req to an easier song. Once July starts, you can continue to check this page for all of your skill token update needs. Also, this thread is the official home for all things token related, but I suspect we’ll have a seperate thread specifically for this event. Big thanks to TheRapingDragon for maintaining that thread, big thanks to Brilliant Dyanmite Neon for all the past token images, and a personal big thanks to WhorliChan for all the skill token images that will be used in this event.
Now, you may be wondering how we can add 62 songs to the game and not run out of ones to add in the future. Well… we will be draining our queue to a big degree. It’ll drop from around 100 to 35 or so. But, thanks to all of our wonderful simfile authors, that queue just keeps filling back up and filling back up again. EVEN STILL… I’d like to take this time to let you all know, once again, that ANYONE can submit files to me for consideration to be added into the game. Check out this subforum for all things related to FFR Song Submissions and FFR Song Permissions. Because we DO have to have permission to use a song.
Which brings up my final point of discussion. A huge thanks to Rebirth0, jimerax, and everyone else who works so hard in getting us new artist permissions. One man has recently risen above the rest though, and I’d like to not only acknowledge it, but also let all of you know about all of the new Rock permissions he’s gotten us. DrugstoreCowboy is a one-man MySpace Emo/Rock permission machine. His recent permissions include: Kaddisfly, Racing Kites, The Perfect Mistake, Off Broadway, August Burns Red, A Billion Ernies, LoveHateHero… and those are just the blanket permissions. There are even more in the Permissions Subforum. HUGE thanks to DrugstoreCowboy.
So, to summarize: Crap-ton of new skill tokens in July means that I’m going to need a bunch more submissions to replenish the queue… and it just so happens that we have a huge new influx on Rock permissions to use for stepfiles.
You may now begin the praise. Be it for me, for the stepfile authors, the songwriters, the permission gatherers, the image makers. Or, heck, praise yourself!

Skill Token Updates And AdminCon Signoff …
We think everything should be working correctly for now. Please confirm that the skill tokens are working for us and let us know. Essentially if you received any of the skill tokens, they should be showing up now.
Please post in here if you still have issues. Also the skill token page will be updated in the next couple of days to properly show the current data!
On a final note from me, thanks for everyone’s patience these last couple of days as we are winding down on our massively busy week, where Rick0rz, Xelius, Nestlekwik, Tasselfoot, Synthlight and myself spent many MANY late nights and early mornings getting plans in place, testing ideas and moving FFR ahead.
A lot of FFR and its neighbors are going to see some love and get updates from profiles, to FFR, to SpinItUp, Metrivia, the FFR Video Chat and Rithum Gaming News. Pretty much all of the sites and sections have schedules for updates throughout this summer and if we can hit all our goals you guys are in for a big summer too!
A lot is on the way folks .. and the summer is just starting!
See you guys out there and in here!
Special AdminCon 2 Skill Token Addition
It’s going on 3 a.m. here in Chicago, whittling down our last hours in the Windy City, and after a day full of work, Rickz0rz has squashed out all the bugs plaguing the tokens and skill tokens. I personally tracked down all 21 tokens and nabbed as many skill tokens as I could to test the collection and my profile will attest, all the hidden tokens are accounted for. If you should still have token issues, though, please let us know in our handy, dandy FFR Bug Report forum.
In honor of Rickz0rz’s hard work, FFR players can put their skills to the test with the special release of a brand new skill token! After unlocking the newest skill token, the song V1 by Saxxonpike will be at players’ playing disposal, presenting a remix of V and Zero One into a 1:58 song. The file by Silver_Brian ranks in as a 7 in difficulty (3.5/6 on the Chardish scale), providing for steps that are medium in difficulty, complemented by a fair number of yellow notes and air steps.
How does one obtain said song? In the Dance category on the fourth page, there is a song titled Beethoven Virus. If you are able to clear Beethoven Virus with 435 or more perfects while having 2 or less misses, you will be awarded the shiny new skill token and be granted access to V1. The task is moderately difficult with 435 perfects being roughly 95% perfect accuracy, but I’m confident most players will be able to rise to the challenge and obtain the newest token addition.
Right now we are aware V1 does not appear on the skill token listing, but, rest assured, it is there for the taking.
On a side note, please, please, please, do not post the locations of our standard tokens on the Flash Flash Revolution site. Even after Synthlight’s warning in the previous post, we have had to take action against people posting the sacred information.
Also, some of you may notice we are toying around with something new in the profiles. While the feature is now working at its simplest form, we will be unleashing these bad sites site wide very soon with a ton of features. Keep checking back to see how our newest feature will evolve.
Have fun with the new token and be sure to thank Rickz0rz for the token work (and be sure to compliment his whale while you’re at it).
