FFR 6th Official Tourney Songs Discussion: Round 1

Re: FFR 6th Official Tourney Songs Discussion: Round 1

Well, Kayla doesn't have the go-ahead to change the difficulties of other songs. As far as I know, she'll only be placing songs and their respective parameters within the duration of the tourney. We can't expect her to change other things now.

Think they wasted all their energy on trying to get it bumped that they dont have any left to get a better score.

LOL sick

Re: FFR 6th Official Tourney Songs Discussion: Round 1

Just a though I had today... if Ambient Angels gets bumped to an 11, you better bump K8107 as well. Just a thought.

K8107 used to be FMO but dropped iirc

I ~personally~ find K8107 harder than AA, and fail to see either of the them as FMOs and if, they would be the lowest possible.

this tbh lol

I've given up, idgaf enough to AAA it unless by BF isn't enough to get me through, which I highly doubt will be the case. So whatever. Probably played it at least 100-150 times already (I recently learned that the restart button doesn't add one to your "times played" count, so dumb) so that's good enough.

Re: FFR 6th Official Tourney Songs Discussion: Round 1

Says who? If only 2 players out of the 66 this song was intended for (and have actually played it) can AAA this file, it has to be somewhat difficult, right? I think the strange polyrhythmic patterns are being ignored here and are the main contributing factor to screwing people up.

Face it the patterns in the first half of the song are splitty and somewhat awkward to hit ([13][24][13][24][13]2 and [24][13][24][13][24]3).
The patterns in the second half are just plain weird, much more technical than even the harder range of 9s currently in-game.
And then there was that [14][23][14] jumptrill that was even tripping up D6 players.

People generally use the "the individual components of this song aren't that hard" argument when trying to get a file placed at a lower difficulty. You're right, the individual parts of the song aren't hard, but when they're all put together it builds up to become a very challenging file.

On the side of nerves, the least awkward part is in the beginning, but it's still awkward enough to cause some kind of nervousness when it's over out of fear you're going to screw it up. Then there's that trill which is the 2nd most awkward part of the file. AAA that and you're really nervous because you're almost done with the file. THEN there's the most technical and tricky part of the file, the ending, which is way harder to AAA when you're nervous after AAAing the first half of the awkward chart. There are more factors than just the individual parts. This is the primary reason why I think so few people have AAAd their round 1 song in D4.

Sorry about holywallsoftext

tl;dr: subjectivemanias.

Wanted to reply to this post last night because I was in bed when it happened.

Thank you for actually giving your objective reasoning behind it - that's more than enough to clarify why you think it should be a 10. I definitely respect that as a standpoint in comparison to other replies in here.

And no need to apologize - the more in detail you go, the better it'll be

Re: FFR 6th Official Tourney Songs Discussion: Round 1

Maybe I'm not cool enough to understand, but either way doesn't it add to the competitiveness if it isn't easy enough for everyone to spam dashboard with AAA?

I'm actually surprised AAA hasn't hit the cutoff yet like it usually does on round 1 songs.

That all being said, It is still just day 2/7

I abuse the restart button. It's listed that I played our song 105 times when in reality I definitely played at least 250~*

Re: FFR 6th Official Tourney Songs Discussion: Round 1

I will never AAA this song (D4)
it's impossible for me to not screw up somewhere

the best I had so far was a 4 good clean run but I blew it on the last jack thingy and got a miss so my best is like 5 goods and an average and a bunch of other crap

and a very correct thought in my opinion.

Re: FFR 6th Official Tourney Songs Discussion: Round 1

so, I'm just back.
It's amazing to see 90% of things in this thread are difficulty arguments.

And 9/10 borderline is the weakest point on the current system (huge cut-off inconsistency among older songs and newer songs), need to define merkmal songs (OTFD might be the one of these).

[TC_Halogen]

Re: FFR 6th Official Tourney Songs Discussion: Round 1

There's also a slight remnant of inconsistency in the 10/11 area too. 9-12 is a huge problem spot that could be potentially alleviated with actual usage of the FSO difficulty (instead of just having RATO/DP/vROFL/Metro).

Totally agreed. You seriously can't compare something like Gigadelic or Revolutionary Etude to Lolo or Integraation (talking about them being in "12")

13 doesn't deserve to be a desolate difficulty, I make plenty use of it in my tournament engine and it really helps with borderline files.

Re: FFR 6th Official Tourney Songs Discussion: Round 1

Lets bump vRofl up to a 14 (nameless difficulty) It certainly is way harder than RATO/DP/Metro. Final wall of death kills you unless you have vibration training or a quad-hold keyboard

I'm going to be dropped in the first round this is madness!
