Hello Fellow FFR-holics!

How are ya? I hope all is well~ If you're in the wrath of Matthew, please be safe!

There's a reason for this thought and it's that I've finally reached my mini-goal!! All 100 of my Leaderboard scores have a AAA-Equivalency of 50.00 or higher! I was trying to improve on the EMG scores for the week and managed to finally get the final score I needed! I'm so happy! :)

I wonder what my next mini-goal will be? Besides St. Scarhand [Standard] of course. I got my 1st AAA-Equivalency of 60+ with my 3-0-0-0 run of The Fusion. I'm pretty dang proud of that score. It's definitely a AAA-able file...along with Survive. >.> My top 5 Leaderboard scores are ranked 60 and above, so I'm proud of that as well.

From the time of my last thought, I have 493 AAAs and 994 FCs. I'm still working towards the 500 AAA and 1000 FC goal. I can mash and get some more FCs, but there's no sense in doing that especially since now if you go back and get a better raw score and get a miss, then it takes away from the FC. So why waste my time mashing when I can just be a try-hard from the get-go?

I'm still playing DDR A at least twice a week. Wednesdays and Saturday/Sunday are usually when I go and stomp some arrows. One of my Hub buddies recorded me playing a set and uploaded to his channel. If you want to see my shenanigans, then let me know and I'll provide the link.

Let's see...what else...what else... I've altered my settings a bit for harder files and it's definitely helping. I went from 135g on Bowser the Shredder to 86. That file is very difficult for a 63 imo... :( I think corn was in a bmah mindset when he stepped that file.

Death Moon is exciting to see in game and even though it's waaay too hard for me right now, I have enjoyed playing it so far.

Monstrous Turtles are still a monster, but fun nonetheless.

I think that's enough banter for now.

So until next time...

Have a Happy FFR Day!

Edit: As of 10/16/16 - I have 1000 FCs!!!! Time to reach 500 AAAs! :)

Howdy fellow FFR-holics!

How are ya? I hope all is well in your world~ It's been 2 months since I last did this. Am I becoming more frequent again in my random thoughts? Nah, doubt it. lol

So what's been going on with me since the end of my run in the OT? Nothing much really. I feel like I've lost a lot of FFR skill as of late. I've been doing so terribly on files that I used to be able to at least frequently SDG/low-good SDG. My ability to read notes and hit them accurately has been abysmal. :(

I'm thankful EMG Rivalry has started up again. The new format Dei has setup is pretty awesome because it puts players on more of an even playing field when it comes to song choice and Skill Level. If you so happen to gaze at this thought, thanks Deidara. :)

Earlier I hit 13 billion GT. I was aiming for it a few days ago, but fell asleep beforehand...or maybe a Skype call happened. I can't remember at the moment. I should be asleep right now, or getting ready for bed to be honest.

Also, DDR A. OMG. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. I've been playing twice a week since it's release at my local Dave & Buster's. Suuuuuper fun! I can handle files that are about 10 and below... I can sometimes pass 11s & 12s (not the prettiest of scores, but as pass is a pass that is if I do pass) Some of my favorite newer files to play are Elemental Creation, Over the "Period", Monkey Business, Electronic Dance System Music, and Cleopatrysm. Next time I go, I'll probably wear my FFR shirt just to see if anyone will recognize it. I'd totally geek out if someone does. lol

I have a random question for your all... What do you think will happen first for me? 500 AAAs or 1000 FCs? At the time of this thought, I'm sitting at 490 AAAs and 984 FCs.

I have another mini-goal in mind and that is to get my Top 100 scores all at 50.00 AAA Equivalency or higher. I have 15 to go to reach that...and considering one of those scores is a Lv.70, I don't think that'll happen relatively soon.

I've think I've chattered on long enough for one random thought and the Turtles will soon fall. So until next time...

Have a Happy FFR Day!

Hellooooo FFR-holics!

How are you? I hope you're grrreat. I mean Tony the Tiger great. :D
The 11th Official has been announced and it starts on the 24th! WOOOO HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE!!!

This thought will be dedicated to the 11th Official where I've impersonated being such an Expert at this game until I've been placed in D4. Let's see how quickly I make my exit! :D This will be updated when the tournament begins.

GOOD LUCK to all who are participating!

(A video was here, but I removed it, sowwie...)

Until next time...

Have a Happy FFR Day!

Edit:
Round 1: Red Sphere, Blue Sphere
6/25 - 2:50a server time
So far I'm sitting at 43,715; 22-2-3-3. This might be enough for me to eek through to the next round, especially depending on non-submitters. I can probably FC and get mayybbeee a SDG or low-teen good. The section post note 675-ish gets pretty ugh for me. The majority of my GAMB come from that section alone.
There's still time for me to improve and believe me, I will. *determination* :)

6/25 - 3:24p server time
Slight improvement to 43,805; 16-2-4-3. Right now, my goal is to break 44k raw score. I did some different settings and that improved things for me. As I said earlier, I think I'm pretty safe to go to Round 2, just working on a personal goal~

6/26 - 11:26a server time
Achievement get: 44,235; 10-0-1-1. Got my personal goal! I'm currently sitting in 14th and T41 moves on to the next round. I'm done with this file. See you in Round 2.

Round 2 - Shade of Gloria
7/2 - 5:31a server time
61,935; 102-9-8-6 ...uh oh. This is not looking good for me so far. :(

7/2 - 6:38a server time
63,500; 58-3-5-3. It's looking a 'little' better. I've been able to consistently get around this score my last few plays and I'm kinda confident that I can crack 64k raw score. I'll give it another go later on~

7/3 - 12:38p server time
63,850; 53-2-2-3. Ugh...so close to 64k...and also so close to pee water. Depending on how the players below me improve/play on this file, this may be farewell for me.

7/7 - 9:26p server time
63,895; 51-2-2-4 ...64k...so close, yet so far away... If it wasn't for the absurd number of goods on this file, I'd be dandy. Also, I would like to thank summertime thunderstorms for causing my internet to be worse than normal. The streams lag so bad for me until I almost wonder if it's even worth me trying to reach my round goal?

7/8 - 8:00p server time (Final Edit)
Finish: 33rd place, eliminated R2.
I'm completely mindblocked at the moment. Glad the server doesn't keep up with restarts. The file is nice to listen to and fun to play, I won't lie about that. It just proved to be a tad bit too much for me at the moment. The only thing I'm salty about is not reaching 64k raw score. I've nearly duplicated my best on this quite a few times during my play today.

Anyways, good luck to the rest of D4 and everyone else remaining in the tournament. :) I'll continue to play the files just to see how far down the totem pole I really am...lol

Special Thanks: Zenith, CK, Kanzas, Smexxxy, badman, darkedge, KLiTz, Squid, grizz, FG, DDRNGGin, dev, & Haku for your support of me and believing I'm much better at this game than I actually am~ :P

Hello FFRholics,

How have you been? I've gotten pretty lazy about doing these...especially cause I used to do them after my anime theme updates...hahaha

At the moment, my theme is from GANGSTA. As indicated by the name, it's theme is the mafia. I highly suggest you check out the anime...but also the manga because the anime stops in a weird place. Unfortunately, the studio that created the anime disbanded so the anime will not get a continuation. Sad freaking day, right? :(

Enough about that, so what have I been up to? Working. Lots and lots of working. I'm a shift leader, so I work swing shifts. Some days I open, some days I close. However, I am transferring to a different store and my responsibilities will change. The thing I'm excited about is the set schedule I will be on! MAYBE....just maybe I will potentially have a life again?

Maybe not.

So as for FFR stuff, what do I have going on? I'm still D4. I still don't have St. Scarhand [Standard] unlocked. :/ I'm excited that the EMG and NIA Rivalries are starting up again! I look forward to participating in both! My main will be D4 in EMG, but I'm ghosting D3 in NIA because there are still some D3-esque files that I can't perform well on that other D3ers are crushing. I feel the challenge to perform well will help me overall. Hopefully I don't start performing so well that I'll be D5 by the time the 11th Official starts... (whenever that'll be, hopefully soon.)

Also, my internet modem has gone to crap, so I'm waiting on another one. Hopefully with the new one, I'll be able to keep a connection long enough to be able to stream again! Yay!! I'll keep ya posted. :)

On another note I do plan to travel to meet with dAnceguy & sunfan sometime next month, if all goes to plan~

That's enough blabbering for now, so until next time...

Have a Happy FFR Day!

P.S. I still upload my crappy gameplay to YouTube.

Helloooo FFRholics!

How long has it been since I've done one of these? Too long...right? Gheez, so what has happened since my last update?

I managed to somehow wiggle my way into D4. I have no idea how. Oh wait, FLUKE scores, got a Top 50 full of em! XD I was hoping the 11th OT would have happened before I reached that point and I could have at least been in D3. *sigh*

So, how have I been skillboosting? I would like to contribute that to my participation in both the NIA and EMG rivalries and random user tournaments. I guess I just want to do well, so I'm getting better and better at higher level songs. In all honesty, I don't consider myself to be D4. That'll happen when I unlock St. Scarhand [Standard].

Halved-Noteskin is the best mod ever. At least for me. :) I'd definitely like to attribute some of my boosting towards that. There are files I haven't been able to read that I've been able to read and keep up with a lot easier.

I have a few 60s FC'd, including a 3g run of Survive. It's so close to being the St. Scarhand [Standard] unlock... What impresses me is that this file has nearly 1800 notes. I don't think it's difficult, just a bit lengthy as I've been able to consistently FC that file for quite a while.

Let's see...is there anything else? YES!! TWO MORE THINGS!
First...DDRNGGin told me that I'm now ranked #10 on the South-Atlantic Regional Boards! WOOO! I checked it out myself~ :) :) :) Last time I looked at that, I was ranked 24th. Holy skill boosting Batman. I approve of this! I'm glad I'm not in a place like Mid-Atlantic or Canada where you literally have to be upper D6, D7 status to get into the top 10. :P

Last but not least...new profile theme! It's from Shokugeki no Soma! (Food Wars) I'm bummed that the anime ended after 24 episodes, but it's well worth the watch. I'm planning on reading the manga sometime soon. My profile picture is none other than Isami Aldini. Good googly. *cough*

Uhm...yea that's more than enough for now. ;)

So until next time...
Have a Happy FFR Day!
