Re: 6th Official FFR Tournament - Round 5 has started!

Random skillboost to 1-0-0-1. Looks like I'm back in the competition. I'm surprised it hasn't been AAA's to be honest.

Re: 6th Official FFR Tournament - Round 5 has started!

Totes super un-thrilled about the whole need to do a tie breaker thing. Right before the first prize round. Do you understand how stressful that is? Hahaha. Goodness. Now it's kill or be killed time for D1. Not cool.

Which brings me to my question.. Tiebreaker.. When will it start? We are playing a song that isn't released yet correct? And we only get one day correct?

Edit:

And will scores automatically record?

There may not be tiebreakers, with velocity gone I have no idea how I'm going to work it. It may just have to be you guys fight for that 8th spot in the next round. Then when it comes to the finals we'll just have to do good old screenshots or something. I have no idea yet.

Also tiebreakers if they happen wouldn't be till the round is done because there could be others who tie as well.

Re: 6th Official FFR Tournament - Round 5 has started!

Whoops, overlooked that. Well that's a lot less stressful in that case if they don't happen. But I will keep my eyes open.

Thanks for the info!

Re: 6th Official FFR Tournament - Round 5 has started!

Actually think I have this worked out to where we can still do them. What I'll do is when we do the tie breaker I'll pull the person that loses off the dashboard temporarily. Then once the round is over put them back so it still shows them in the place they were knocked out in the tourney.

(I have no way of showing someone as eliminated that I know of. I'll probably look into it some more but for now this could workout)

Re: 6th Official FFR Tournament - Round 5 has started!

Well a fix is a fix I suppose

!

This reminds me of my early days of programming. Using rather crude and inefficient methods to make things work.

Of course now I need to stress out over it again :P.

Either way, I have to say this tournament has been TONS of fun. And so far, it's been a very good game with my division. Everybody still in, congrats on making it so far.

Re: 6th Official FFR Tournament - Round 5 has started!

Glad you're enjoying it ^_^

Edit: Alright got everything sorted out now with tiebreakers. At the end of this round (start of new round) those of you in a tiebreaker will be playing another song and will have 24 hours to get your best score. You will have to submit screen shots for tiebreakers. At the end of that 24 hours the person with the best score moves on and the others will be knocked out.

Isn't the end basically the same as the beginning? Not including that 24th stream. I just get nervous and dump goods everywhere in the end.

Re: 6th Official FFR Tournament - Round 5 has started!

It's not exactly identical, but later on becomes the same patterns. If you're getting random goods, which I've did a lot, it likely means you're slightly falling behind/speeding up on a song that isn't exactly fast. For slow songs, emphasis on pretty much everything I hit helps with accuracy, although it tires me a bit more. Sometimes it's just how you hit those keys. Sharp short taps to boost accuracy. Keeping your fingers stuck on the keys will likely result in unintended goods from losing your feeling of "when to hit exactly".

Re: 6th Official FFR Tournament - Round 5 has started!

not the very very end. the part right after the trill. I think im going to throw in the towel soon though. If I still can't consistently FC the song and the cutoff is 8-0-0-0 I feel pretty hopeless.

If your problem is the Trill, I'm stuck with you.

If it's the bursts (such as the intro), I usually "warm-up" by going to Dossar's engine and play 5.1.1 [edit]

If it's the rest of the song, your best bet for practicing (that I can think of) would be (the majority of) Crowdpleaser.

Re: 6th Official FFR Tournament - Round 5 has started!

just after 820 combo

trill is auto AAA

**bmah** · 12-17-2011, 08:34 PM

Re: 6th Official FFR Tournament - Round 5 has started!

For the trill, as I said before, it's entirely sightreading the trill by looking closely at what you're hitting. You can't rely on the rhythms (e.g. you can't say they're 24th equivalent) so your best bet is to see the up and down arrows, and try to coordinate your hits with the approximate density of the trill as it occurs. Takes some practice to do because you have to keep track of these things, but the best way to describe it is "getting a feel of the trill". That's why you have to read it as you go, and not rely on rhythms.

Is that to say that we will have no way of what the others participating got in that tiebreaker round? Unless of course we are posting the screens in this thread. But if not..

I'm going to have a heart attack doing this.
And I will enjoy it.
