    Playing FFR at a talent show

    My school is holding auditions for a talent show the 21st and the 22nd of December and I am actually considering playing FFR at auditions. I talked about it to a couple of my friends and they all said I should do it. Plus once and a while when I have free time at lunch I go to our schools computer room and play FFR. People around me are actually amazed(even though I'm not that good) and don't actually think I'm the one playing and that its just some video I have up as I just smash the keyboard lol. I talked to the person in charge and he thought it was a ridiculous idea to play a video game at a talent show and he liked it (I tried to explain a little but more about it what it was but failed miserably). He said he would allow it but because he does not know exactly what it is I have shortened amount of time to impress.

    The song must be....

    roughly 3 minutes or less (not counting setup time)
    School appropriate (no bad words)

    I'm level 64 but if i'm trying to impress an audience that does not play rhythm I can go up to level 70 with an FC. If I make the cut I will make another post with more information will be given at the talent show like how long we have, when the date is, etc...

    30,000 credits will be awarded to the person's song that gets picked for auditions (credit prize will be bigger if I make it in the talent show).

    Everyone has until the 20th of December 12:00AM server time to submit their songs to this thread.

    Credit for the idea to play FFR at a talent show goes to Gold stinger

    When I go filter 65-70 the first one on the top stands out to me the most -- roughly 2 minutes long though

    For FFR is a no brainer!

        If I were you, I'd go for a song you can PA well on command.

        I'm seein' a decent score on Nebula [Rushjet] and having played in front of people for fun at college, people liked watching files like that one. Especially if you can commentate while you play.

        It's also a really fun song to play a lot of times, so the whoring factor is there

        It's also like 2 minutes long.

        Edit: Feel I should clarify something. I picked an easier song because yeah playing hard shit looks cool, but there's no point in that if you end up making a mistake and screwing up the whole file. Which gets easier to do as the files get harder. I assume you have one to MAYBE a restart if it's quick plays of this.

          Go for it dude, and good luck! Borderline D4/D5 is better than you think it is!
          Also for song choice, there's a lot of options out there, but I may go with X-Tinction, because it's a very short 64 that's not stupid to play unlike Purple!

            i'd go for a song that you are comfortable AAA'ing cuz tbh anything above 30 is gonna look impressive to someone that doesn't play rhythm games. my personal fav's in the 60's range would be EOS, but that's just me. if you wanna go a bit harder, ambient angels is a great choice also like alloyus said.

            edit: scratch everything i said, if you can pull off a sick vertex beta score, that would be frikin amazing. im still impressed when people can AAA that lol

              I really over estimate what skill lvl is actually impressive to people because I'm worried that people would be unimpressed if I did something lower than a 65. I know that sounds ridiculous but that's how I see it.

                I played FFR in the science lab one time back in high school to show off - and I am literally the shittiest player in this thread. Played Elements in science - it was a hit, and people still were mind boggled. I'm like are you serious? They think it's some unattainable feat of the God's to smash arrows lmao

                          Re: Playing FFR at a talent show

                          Ambient Angels is a fantastic choice if you can reliably FC it. You should definitely choose something that gets progressively more difficult over time so that you'll continue to wow your audience even as some of them start to think 'surely he can't go any faster than this'.

                          If you want to go hardcore climax theory, something like Destination of the Heart would definitely drop everyone's jaws as soon as the ending jumpstream takes off, but if you pick this be sure you can FC the 200bpm jumpstream most if not all the time.

                          Alternatively you could pick something technical with a lot of colours. A lot of my friends who don't play these games seem to think the more colours in the file, the crazier it is. We Wish You A Merry XMas (which, coincidentally, is also quite appropriate to pick this time of year) accomplishes this. But if you're going strictly for wow factor, my vote is for one of the former two since nothing beats tried and true climax theory.

                              A tale about a boy and his friends and a game they play together. About 8,000 pages. Don't say we didn't warn you.


                              A little under half way down the page

                              Edit: I just saw your profile background with mutie and Roxy. Its nice to see another homestuck on FFR
