Re: Who influenced you on FFR and how?

I'd have to say my first ever WTF moment in regards to FFR / SM was way back in 2004 when Anuj posted some FFR scores he'd gotten. The only one I can specifically remember was a Silence FC with goods in the low teens. To me, a complete amateur who didn't even know 4-finger style playing existed, this score seemed absolutely unreal. I could not understand how someone could achieve something like that.

Throughout mid 2005 - 2007 or so Shashakiro was definitely my biggest competitive influence. That was back when you could actually keep up with all the new songs they were adding to the game. I still remember when Destiny and Balloon Fever were considered the most difficult files (outside of the legacy classical junk).

From then on until my retirement around late 2009 the people who I admired most in the game were probably Reach, Thaor and tsutter. I suppose this was because they could do all the insane files I never could - mostly files involving lots of jackhammers and / or weird burst stuff (think death piano), which were always my weaknesses.

Some of the posters I remember who really stood out as some of the nicest, funniest and most interesting were glove, dynamo, reach, banditcom and zaghurim. blurk was absolutely fucking hilarious too. IIRC he was kind of a jackass though.

Aw shucks. I miss all you guys. I really do. We had one hell of a ride. It's scary to think I'm now almost twice the age I was when I started playing this game.

I really never made friends on here with anyone..so I never had anyone to push me to get better. Only my own desire to show my friends "hey look what I can do...this is why I can type 100+ words a minute!"
I always looked up to Shashakiro. I'm not entirely sure why...maybe it was his avatar of a dragon? Or the fact that he was the number 1 player for an hour and was bumped back down to number 2 not much longer.

Halogen because we used to be footspeed bros back in the day and when I found out how good he was at FFR I got inspired to try harder/learn how to spread.

Hakulyte because beast.

Re: Who influenced you on FFR and how?

I started to think about getting better just to get to the top 1000. Didn't happen.

Re: Who influenced you on FFR and how?

I have always been more interested in the stepfiles themselves than the actual skill needed to complete them. That's why I was mostly influenced by the simfiles of old school step artists, like bmah, hi19hi19, Rebirth0, behanjc, ElectricWerewolf, Exige, aperson, pfx, Syrus, McGravel, Zaghurim, Bursurk Lurk, Yessss, Silvuh, dondon151, Glove, Kil, ... Basically what I could find on FlashFlashRevolution or download for Stepmania back in 2006.

However, in 2010 I began uploading some stepping videos on youtube and psychoangel691 noticed them and told me to join Dragons Fury. I think that was the most influential group of people I met on FFR. Her, along with Halogen, who_cares973 (at the time), Xx{Midnight}xX , iironiic, Niala, Scintill, sky_kitten, alexdest, kommisar, T-Force, and a bunch of others who took the time to play my files and review them in-depth, even though they were not always very interesting.

Seriously, a huge thanks to psychoangel for noticing me, without whom I would not have stepped a single file for FFR.

And last but not least, more recently, Hateandhatred, Sanzath, Hakulyte and mostly xXOpkillerXx inspired me to get better at this game through practice and repeated plays. Since then, I bought a mechanical keyboard and saw a huge skillboost.

I love all of you guys so much. There are tons of people I really look up to, here.

edit: and it's super flattering to see my name on some posts in this thread.
