10th official FFR Tournament! Posted on: October 2, 2014, at 05:17:23pm Since I couldn't really compete in the 9th official due to no computer to play on besides a delayed laptop, I didn't get past round 2 lmao. This year's different... Edit: To hell with this, I need to add pictures or something to make this somewhat interesting. I really aim to win this tournament this year, only because the last two tournaments I was in, I got knocked out in the 7th round by one boo, twice in a row, then the final song turned out to be easier for me. I know this tournament's going to be very fun this year as well; different prizes, more hype, better competition, etc, so I really look forward to that. Good luck to the rest of D7 and everyone else in the tournament! (also funnygurl, you best be not disappointing me, i got my money on you~) Round 1: Pandemonium (AAA) Played this when I got home from Cross Country, that's about it, lol. AAA or die, bois. Round 2: Shippuujunrai (AAA) No warmup again, took two tries. Another AAA or die round, I suppose. This tourney blog isn't so interesting so far lmao. Round 3: Double Helix (AAA) Took three tries, I think. Onto Round 4. Round 4: Maniera (AAA) This file certainly didn't come off intimidating at all, but for some reason, it took me a couple days to AAA it, lol. I feel like some of it was mindblocks and choppy FFR but whatever it was, hopefully, it won't bother me the next round. To round 5 I go! Round 5: The Bird's Midair Heatstroke (AAA) It's actually kind of funny how I AAA'd this. I decided to get a good look at the chart by watching Stian's AAA video of it, then I just went right into the song without warming up. I restarted a good 10 times not even getting past the first roll part lmao. For some reason, I just could not get past it. So I warmed up with Extratone Pirates and AAA'd it right after. Quarter finals, here we go! Round 6: Rengoku Purgatorium (AAA) Surprisingly on my first song of the day, I got 2 clean on this. I wasn't expecting something like this at all. I tried AAA'ing it after that but realized I probably wasn't warmed up enough for it, also FFR started lagging again so I closed Skype and everything else out because I wasn't risking any mindblocks or any AAA lag shenanigans. So I just played Heterochromia then AAA'd it in a few tries shortly after. The hype is real yo'. Round 7 Staple on Smile/CirnoRHTL (AAA) CirnoRHTL: Took three tries I think, pretty fun file actually. Staple on Smile: This file is a goddamn disaster, let's just leave it at that. It's just a colored roll mess that you have to transition out of a lot making the file ridiculously awkward. Not to mention after the break, there's even more awkward patterning later on. This certainly isn't my type of file, especially when I sightread it. I believe my first full playthrough of the song was 5g clean, which wasn't so bad. Then after a fair amount of tries, I managed to drop it down to 3g clean, then I ended up leaving it at that and went to bed. Woke up and saw that Shadow had already Bf'd it which made me pretty scared, considering I know Samurai can AAA it so knowing that I would have most likely been 3rd is such an unsettling spot to be in. Came home from school today, and decided to warm up with SM rather than FFR files so I had more speed. I ended up getting a few extremely good warm up scores that ended up having me be prepared to play the tourney file. I played the song a few times, got 2g clean on vid. Still wasn't satisfied, one restart after another and the AAA happened. My best AAA was a 92 on FFR so getting this was a phenomenal accomplishment from me. Best of luck to the other D7 competitors and we'll see who goes home with the most money in the finals :b Round 8: Hatsune Miku no Shoushitsu -Gekijouban- (AAA) I finally made it to the finals, after two 1-boo scenario tournament losses, I finally managed to make it to the very last round. This tournament was pretty rough as it was, Maniera took me a couple of days to AAA, Staple on Smile had me ridiculously nervous, and having Luis and Shadow right near me had me awake this whole tournament, haha. I decided to do what I usually do before I play my round; warm up with about 20/25 minutes of SM then play the tourney song until I get a score that I'm satisfied with (Warming up with SM helps with FFR then actually warming up with FFR itself, trust me, it really helps.) In all honesty, I couldn't even FC this file at all, I believe I kept getting around 5g with a miss or something around there, I couldn't even get close to the AAA for the first 20 minutes or so I played the file, then I mindblocked on the intro immediately which had me pretty annoyed and worried right off the bat. I tried mirror and managed to hit the beginning fine but something else kept bothering me then, luckily I managed to get past some of the weird transitions that my hand wasn't usually used to. Once I hit the stream and I still had a AAA, my hands started sweating bad and my nerves were through the roof at this point. I felt like the faster and faster the ending got, the more and more my hands started shaking and my fingers started sweating. Luckily, it was all over when I saw that AAA and had that great relief that I was done. The file's kind of fun though, great file for a 97 imo. I like the little Death Piano ending they threw in, it's pretty rough, haha. In conclusion: I honestly couldn't believe I pulled off a perfect tournament this year, considering how long it took me to AAA round 4, I didn't even have the confidence to make it to the finals at first, so this was a major accomplishment for me. Thanks to everyone who supported me in the tournament, thanks to the stepartists for keeping me up until one in the morning (u kno i love u guys <3), and thanks to the tournament organizers for putting this awesome tournament together! Shoutouts to these people: Funnygurl Halogen Samurai Dossar Shadow Dynamo Eze There's definitely more but that's all off the top of my head. |
