2 Skill Tokens & An Artist URL Update!
I’ve been busy today… in addition to the 2 skill tokens, I’ve spent most of my morning updating our list of URLs for all of FFRs artists. After all, exposure IS the reason why these bands/artists give us permission. Still missing some, mostly ones from 3+ years ago or japanese artists… so I’m going to rely on you guys to help me out. If you know of a URL for an artist that is currently missing a URL, please PM me the link. You can view all of this information in THREE different places…. The FFR Song List (does not include Secret, Token, or Skill songs), The Genre List (does not include Secret), or you can view the information from each level’s individual levelstats page.
Again… if you know a working URL for one of the bands or artists that I am missing, please PM me the information. As you guys are unable to view the Secret genre songs except individually via their levelstats, the artists from that genre that I’m missing are: Kil, Sampling Masters CHANG, DJ Destruction, DJ Lain, Jordan Neff, DJ RageVI, and DJ Bladerunner. As you can see, I had trouble with people who had DJ in their name.
As for the 2 skill tokens! Heavy Danger is from a popular newsground artist named Manmademusic. Pretty cool sounding song, if you ask me. Little rock-ish, little techno-ish. File is medium difficulty; I listed it as a 7. Made by SulferDragon. All you have to do to unlock it is AAA Free Space, which is found in Dance.
What-ever is our first non-VertexBETA song by Silvia. I’m certainly no expert on music genres (as I’m sure you all know by now), but it has a bit of an epic trance sound to me, at least in the beginning. Anyway, before I continue to show off my lack of musical knowledge, I’ll digress. File is by Silver_Brian and is again of medium difficulty; again rated a 7 by yours truly. To unlock this fun little piece, pass Delirium with a 400+ combo. Delirium is in Dance2.
I think that is about it for now… subscribers can expect a song later tonight. Assuming Kit- is finished sending me updates on it. I think she’s given me about 12 so far. Everyone else can expect a subscriber song to go public some time on Sunday.
-Tass & LD & something that we’ll let you come up with yourself.
EDIT: Thank you to the multiple quick responses… I now have DJ Destruction (who I found, but thought it was the wrong person), Jordan Neff, and DJ RageVI. I have a URL for DJ Lain, but I think it is the wrong person. Also, in case you are lazy… I’m also missing: DJ Kankaoh (kwik, any ideas?), Analog Boy, Chuk & Gek, Good Job Company, Prophecy, Dj GULIT (kwik?), DJ Ascent, The Red Rebel, WipEOut, Braille & J5, Richee, Just Will, F.T.S., D.I. – LVC Producitons, Leroy Watkins Jr, KgZ, Wlokos, AKHT (I know of their 1 page non-english website, but I want something that is actually useful), Excluded (is it the offbeat’s site?), DJ Plaeskool, Sektone, Hiro, Dissonance, DJ Naphouse, beatMARIO, Dan & Jea, Kajmaster Kajet, and Paraoka. That is the FULL list of artist’s I’m missing, minus the ones that clearly don’t have them.
EDIT2: Again, big thanks… still missing: DJ Kankaoh, Analog Boy, Chuk & Gek, Prophecy, Dj GULIT, DJ Ascent, WipEOut, Braille & J5, Richee, D.I. – LVC Productions, Wlokos, AKHT, Excluded, Sektone, Hiro, Dissonance, DJ Naphouse (found out this is our very own FishFishRevolution), and beatMARIO. And I’m sure once Rebirth0 and hi19hi19 see this, half of these will be taken care of.
Finally, EternuS has come. Along with my Trapped Balls. #24.
EternuS is now working…. you can blame my inability to read code for the error.
Our 2nd skill token for today is The Pylons Are TRAP BALLS, an internet meme song by Kajmaster Kajet. I’m not big into the meme scene, but there are clips from Starcraft and Yu-Gi-Oh in there… as well as a few others that I don’t know the origin of, but I’m sure you all do and will now think less of me for not knowing. Anyway. The file is by Alucard4_6, his first file. Took him 4 or 5 re-submits to get this accepted. File has a few 24th rolls, but mostly some 16th runs. I’m rating it a 7, but it might be a high 6. To unlock this ballerific token…. you must get 1 good or a AAA on All of the World, which is also a skill token.
Have fun!

Nippon Zenkoku & Frozen Bond – Little Late, But Better Than Never. #21 & #22. + EternuS #23.
Hi Guys. I’m BAAACCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK. Miss me? Anyway, sorry for the confusion yesterday and the lack of ST releases. Here are the 2 from yesterday, bright and early. Plus the 1st one for today… and it is SPECIAL AND FUN AND AWESOME AND YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO HATE ME.
Nippon Zenkoku GABA Ondo is a DJ Sharpnel song. Has a fairly similar sound as with all Sharpnel; happy, upbeat, japanese. It’s fairly easy, only a 6/12. Few tricky patterns, but overall only 378 notes in 1:31. File is by pokelda. This is the last of the “anti” tokens for a while, promise. The req to unlock it is pretty simple, IMO, for an anti-token. Play Pretty Green Onions. Pass Pretty Green Onions. Get under 1000 perfects on Pretty Green Onions. You can find PGO in Misc.
Frozen Bond is a melodic sounding song by new FFR artist Paraoka. Similar note length and song length as Nippon Zenkoku, but overall a bit easier. 5/12. File is by Rebirth0; his easiest file to date. The req to unlock is more interesting, IMO, although a bit similar to a req we’ve already released. Play Improvisation et Chien. Get at least 2 average-misses and pass, while getting no other averages, misses, or boos, to unlock Frozen Bond. For those unfamiliar with average misses, they are caused by overlapping frames in notes that are too close to each other. In this case, “4-framers”, as the notes are 4 frames apart. If you hit these notes on time, you’ll miss the 1st note, get an average on the 2nd note, and then a boo. 1 average, 1 miss, 1 boo. Do this at least twice in the song (there are 7 4-framers in the file) to unlock Frozen Bond. Basically… you have to be TOO accurate.
Note. As of now, EternuS is NOT working properly. Please be patient while we sort out the error in the code.
EternuS is a fun fun req. And it’ll open up the floodgates for what we can do for the rest of the month. The song itself is long and a bit repetitive. Nice sound out of Sanxion7, aka saxxonpike. The file is by hi19hi19, and has been sitting in game, all by itself, collecting dust…. just waiting until we had the ability to do this req. To unlock EternuS…. you must pass: Bicycle Break (Misc) then Troglodytic Epica (Dance) then Song for the Nihonjins (Purchased) then Max Forever (Secret). Pass them, and do it in a row. Does not have to all be at the same time, just needs to be your last 4 games played.

New Launch of Video Database on FFR
Hey, well it’s about damn time I post on the front page right? The guys have been so busy with token releases, song releases and new features that I have not been able to squeeze in anything myself on the front page.
So… while I have the floor I wanted to give a big heaping round of applause to SummerSchool, one of our new php/html/css guys here at FFR. He has been working his Tass off getting new features added to the site. He has added numerous bugfixes and features to the profiles, invented the coded tier system on FFR and has now redesigned and relaunched the Video Database on FFR. All within about half a week (and I am only mentioning the major things he has touched).
For those of you interested, you can now embed not only youtube but also Veoh.com, google videos and metacafe into your profiles. You simply paste the URL in there and it parses it automatically. It could not get anymore simple.
But why stop there?
We figured we would follow through and redesign the Video Database as well. Instead of uploading videos, you simple need to paste in the URL and it will properly parse and embed the video. It then creates a thumbnail and attaches your avatar to the listing. We have retained the ability to allow comments and voting on each video and will soon be implementing a feature in profiles that links all your videos in the Video Database to your FFR Profile.
So before I babble on and work myself into a tangent, big props to SummerSchool. Everyone go bother him on his profile and leave a message for him.
Cheers,
Synthlight
P.S. Skill tokens are on their way! We had to reschedule their release today so that today’s tokens had different requirements.

You missed the last Party? In that case Party 4 U v3 by Cranky
This is going back some days. We are revisting Party 4u – HolyNightRemix V2 by Cranky was originally stepped by the well known Arch0wl and released back in March of 2005. This is currently a purchased song, so if you haven’t played it yet, better check your credits.
Party 4 U v3 is stepped by hi19hi19 and should be well worth the effort.
Soooo if you can get more boos than misses than averages than goods than perfects on Party 4u – HolyNightRemix V2 you can unlock Party 4 U v3.
