Re: 12th Official Tournament
what we really need is someone to step all 6 minutes of The Bird's Snapshot Lifespan as a 95+ song so we can have a skill token to unlock it by playing the three other Bird Having A Shitty Life songs
too bad Snapshot Lifespan is objectively the least steppable of the four (which is probably why nobody has done it yet) |
cornman raises the point that most illegal nervous habits are cuts, even rato is like 5 mins long iirc
before d00d gone crazy comes out of retirement someone did chart the full song in the vsrg minipack pack, which was definitely ffr quality tier, so theres something if the community is interested DMRIw ily edit: well he didnt raise the point cause he was talking a different album but he made me aware of the point, go figure |
Re: 12th Official Tournament
Actually disappointed that the full version of Cest What wasn't used, dohoho.
I also super preferred AJs take on the file from Dragon's Fury than what I saw in the preview, but ah well. |

Re: 12th Official Tournament
Congrats to dragonman2, hard_choices, lukeoid, theropfather, Riotpolice, FirstMaple8, rCaliberGX, and Shxfted for winning the ramen!
You'll have one week after FINAL ROUND CLOSES to contact me through here in pms or discord (Qrrbrbirbei#0980) to get your ramen on the way. 12 packs of the generic college ramen CAN be swapped for fewer packs of greater quality just as an FYI |

Re: 12th Official Tournament
All credit prizes for 4th through 8th in the divisions have been awarded. D8 has all 3 new event tokens unlocked for them.
|
Re: 12th Official Tournament
I'm curious as to why prizes for the tourney are being announced so far through the actual event. Why weren't the event tokens disclosed at the beginning? Like, players who have all the past event tokens weren't incentivized to try as hard in this tourney, only to see that prizes were added after they were already eliminated? Rob even asked me if I had any intention to play the night before I was eliminated and I told him, not really because I already have vROFL. Then very shortly after, Strangeprogram v0 is added to the prize pool midway through the tournament? That's pretty silly.

Re: 12th Official Tournament
I don't think they released the strangprogram v0 when they did with the intent to spite people who were already eliminated - and you probably don't think that either I'd imagine.
attempting to add excitement later isn't guilty of error imo but would of been more wreckless for example if they said "oh yah you'll win this" and then they like, downgraded the prize to a lesser token or said here have half the credits we mentioned at the start. edit: sorry for the the pile on magda :v I c aj and kayla posting next to each other in more than one way :P but just now im realizing the potential shit storm you mentioned can be very entertaining and thus the real reason for you're complaint (:<? nate is a robot what is 31 on bike altho he might improve before this round is over |

Re: 12th Official Tournament
I can't turn back time and change what's already done. To me, it was fun added excitement that to my knowledge people enjoyed. There were other prizes that were added before the top 8 as well that people could have strived for, such as the necklace. So I really didn't think it was a big deal.
If others have an issue with surprises being added I'd like them to voice it too, because frankly I really like having them and if the majority is okay with it I'd like to still do them in the future. But if that many people are pissed off then I wont. |
Re: 12th Official Tournament
oh dang so its a debate between who's better and who quantifies their time worthy of it being spent on the game - the objective of one side is not to waste time while the other will gladly give it to achieve status or feel like they broke even :u
interesting stuff to think about after having played so long but never really having thought about :v edit: so morally speaking the harder you work the better outcome you should be able to deserve?? I'll stop budding in now :v editv2: OH but people who compete for raw competitions in theory, the prizes don't matter to them as much. More like icing on a cake... the plot line thickens in subsequence. editv3: my personal conclusion is that the mainstream player would be more driven to win a prize while unironically the more capable person of doing it naturally has the experience already to care less given their imagination... |

As far as the rest: there's still no one else to blame but yourself for the laziness, because at the end of the day, guess what: if you would have put in the effort instead of worrying about top 8 and there being "nothing else", you would have gotten a more favorable placement and still gotten what you wanted (and likely deserved). If you had the capability to push forward, you should have. You barely put any effort into recording attempts through just about anything in this tournament and as a result, likely didn't do anything to really figure out how to improve your scores in an optimal manner - you got eliminated and got the result you deserved. As I said before: this complaining is coming in bad faith. Put more effort next time and apply yourself. EDIT: changed full attempts to recorded attempts because that's what I meant |
Re: 12th Official Tournament
I remember regretting not trying harder to push to round 4 cause I played the round so late in the week - but that was more of a pride thing and unforeseen reinstatement to D7 but I felt humble to be remembered as a 'D7' player.
All and all I made it as far as I did last time lmao and at no point did prizes even reach my attention but that's coming from me personally. The last time I was prize hungry was when vrofl was 500 mill in a day :O edit: also I remember getting top 5 in d6 one year after having had vrofl already but didnt know till the tourney was long over that oh yah vrofl is a top 8 thing guess I forgot |

Competition can bring out the best in people. Back when I crafted most of Undici for the previous tournament, I made a lot of decisions on what I felt was theoretically possible by the top level players who were still competing. I tested everything on 0.9x rate and determined that if I was able to essentially keep up and handle it, that it would probably be effective as a final for that tournament. It worked fairly well given not only the score spread for the tournament, but also my ability to actually keep up with it now compared to before. I gave Undici a try during the Extratone Firestorm round and actually held a SDG up to the 12th note jacks that begins the final section - and when isolating that final section out alone when warm, I was able to get teens on it. Theoretically - this means a run where everything goes together might yield somewhere in the 30s in goods. ... I'm not quite ready to find that out at the moment though with the osu!mania world cup going on. I don't want to taint my accuracy there with FFR's timing windows here, ahaha EDIT: @ previous discussion because I realized a post was made in direction to me: I legitimately don't care at this point. Nothing changes - you didn't need to deconstruct anything further - my opinion's not changing either. It's still going to come down to the fact there were other prizes to shoot for later in the tournament that would have made you eligible for the token had you not known the tokens existed in the first place and chose not to go for those. You settled - nothing is going to change that and arguing about it isn't changing my opinion about the fact that you were lazy/complacent. Seeing the minimal amount of plays made also doesn't help your case for me. I'm not gonna fixate on this, and I'll reiterate: I'm not targeting you, I'm targeting everyone who has this mindset, because that's how I feel. |

Re: 12th Official Tournament
i tried in this tournament to the best of my ability but i didn't actively put the time in to train. i would have trained *harder* if i knew about the prizes. assessing blame to anyone for not trying as hard as they can no matter what is not a realistic mindset because not everyone is motivated by the same things.
in the end it's not that big of a deal thank you for running the tournament. i just think coming out and saying it's our fault if we aren't always investing everything we can no matter what in the tournament is irrationally defensive. |
Re: 12th Official Tournament
tbh I didn't try this tournament to the best of my ability and knowing that there were new prizes probably would have changed that
what it wouldn't have changed was my complete inability to make it to a prize round in my division this tournament anyway so I guess it doesn't matter in the end |
Re: 12th Official Tournament
Well, I mean prizes are nice, but tournaments in general are kind of made for the sport of testing your skills against other players, which is why I signed up.
I view the prizes added midway as a "raising the stakes" or a "bonus" kind of thing, which adds excitement during the livestreams. Since the tournament is two months long, excitement and motivation kind of dwindle as the weeks go by (at least from my experience), so having something like new prizes partway through helps to spice things up again. |
Re: 12th Official Tournament
Quote:
Guess going forward I won't do them though, I'd really thought the already added prizes gave enough incentive for people for it to not be a big deal adding in. This also means though that either A. OTs will be less fequent as I have to make sure to secure all prizes before starting. Or B. OTs will just be credits and the same old tokens. |

Re: 12th Official Tournament
You know what, nevermind my opinion will just stir up drama.
I will from here on out, not start an OT until all prizes including donated prizes are filled in. That way there's no issues about this again. |
Re: 12th Official Tournament
Quote:
This OT only had two weeks notice or so, maybe stretching that out by an extra week or two would allow not only prizes to be sorted out ahead of time, but also more time to collect sign-ups? That should also make your job easier, not harder, since prizepool is one more thing you won't have to worry about mid-tournament. As for the "principle" of competition, obviously it would be great if everyone competed their best all the time on everything ever, but the fact remains that sometimes something as silly as a pack of ramen or a meaningless token on your meaningless profile can be a nice thing to work towards :) |
Re: 12th Official Tournament
Quote:
I didn't have to worry about it mid-tournament. I WANTED to surprise people, and most people vocally had enjoyed it up until now, lol. So is what it is I guess. Edit to your edit: That's just it though, the ramen was there, the necklaces were there, dev's perlers were there. There was plenty to strive for. So to me imo complaining that one didn't give it their all because of prizes over a token makes no sense. Because there were prizes to go for, it's not like there was no incentive at all. |

Re: 12th Official Tournament
Now sure, I've always wanted the tokens, but who doesn't like collecting things? I liked how vRofl eventually got other ways to be given out, and who knows, maybe these eventually will to. I'm fine with these tokens being added.
I think the main problem is structural - it now takes 64 tournament quality files to run an OT, and you need a batch of at least 100 songs to pull from to make it work out nicely. If people didn't have to wait a year, maybe they'd be more willing to hear this out? Suggestion - a recurring event that uses in game files (Monthly?) where top 3 to 5 players can earn tokens. Make the final round only brand new charts, and the finalists can have exclusive access to these for however long the round is. After the round, the songs would go public (kind of like how some songs would be "vet only" for a time back in the day). This would add at least 8 charts to the game a month. Thank you for running the tournament, running events is a very time consuming process and I'm greatful for the time that's been put into it. There were lots of bangers added to the game this year. |
Re: 12th Official Tournament
Quote:
The only token here that's OT exclusive, for the time being, is V0, everything else is an event token obtainable during any official event. So I really don't get the major issue with it. And actually I don't get it 'cause the V0 was announced prior to the top 8, so it was known in the round it was relevant for. I already wanted and suggested doing in-game file OT's during the year, I got chewed out about new content. As I said, there's always someone who's not satisfied. I've suggested a million and one things, the majority of the time it's ignored or received negatively. I am only one human person vs an entire community of people who want different things. |
Re: 12th Official Tournament
Having more frequent events would help update people's level ranks too so they end up with scores reflecting their skill more often. Let's face it, intentionally or not, most people play casually 10 months out of the year and then try-hard for prizes, people are bound to be under placed by our system. Especially with more and more players coming from other games like Osu and Etterna. I'm not saying my suggestion will fix sandbagging (intentional or not) in principle, but at least they'd be getting bumped up more often. And when it's only 1 month until the next event, it's not so bad.
|
Re: 12th Official Tournament
Sorry I didn't see the response I was typing an addendum. Its true we can't appease everyone. If the current once a year mega tournament style is more popular, then sure. If people don't like change, then I don't think that leaves much room for them to critique the current system.
|
Re: 12th Official Tournament
Did you read my reply?
Doing monthly OT's would be excessive but I'd wanted to do seasonal OT's which I'd posted about and like I'd already mentioned people were not fond of the in-game content deal of things. There's also and has been for a LONG time the ability for users to get official backing for their events to where they can have tokens as prizes. No one takes advantage of this and that's out of my control. Edit: welp my post came after you posted again so answered my own question there. |

Re: 12th Official Tournament
I just learned about prizes, thought it was only credits and ramen for 4th rofl.
May I ask why d8 gets all event tokens ? Seems a bit unfair tbh; they get a user color already. Giving each D8 player like 1 token would be more legit, and keeping the top 3 rule. Idk what others think but yeah, maybe tone it down a little ? |
Re: 12th Official Tournament
Quote:
What I am saying, is the placements are based on scoring data, and unless you're one of the few that grind out scores for fun, most scores are casual - therefore those players that tend to play casually and only grind for events will always be underrated. Having more official events will theoretically have people "try-hard" (god I hate that term) more often and make their ranks more reflective of their current speed and skill. |

Re: 12th Official Tournament
I mean I honestly don't mind much (only for completionist but that's irrelevant), I just thought that saving these tokens for events would give some incentive to d8 to participate to other, smaller events too. It's probably not quite true though if the tokens arent like 100+ anyway. But yeah if it was like that already, I suppose changing it would also be somewhat unfair.
Edit: also mfw perler and keychain woah |
Re: 12th Official Tournament
I want to say again though that I am greatful for all the time put in to running this tournament - from the batch process to the placements, uploading new content, and even the previews. There was a lot of hype this year and it's nice to see around the game.
|
Re: 12th Official Tournament
Yeah, on the same note as SaxRunner, I want to say in midst of all this conflict that this tourney has been really run and hype. This is my first FFR tournament and it's been quite an awesome experience so far and is pushing me to improve a ton. Until a few months ago, I've played literally zero js — only index files or normal files with the "no jumps" mod on. Since around the time the tourney was announced, I've been grinding to improve past the point I had been stuck at for years (aka learning how to js and stream past 210 lol) and I'm finally getting results.
In terms of frequency of future tournaments, I feel like a single annual one would be more hype, but I don't mind whatever you guys do; they're fun either way. |
Re: 12th Official Tournament
The tournament has been amazing so far. I think the best thing about the tournaments is all the new songs; I think that will make all of them hype regardless of how frequently they are.
|
Re: 12th Official Tournament
Yeah I did forget to say thank you kayla and to those who put in the time and work it took to make this tourney happen.
I was hype to see the v0 release myself, so you accomplished that surprise very nicely. I didn't think I'd join when it was announced thinking oh god not this whole mess again but was glad I did and had some thing to look forward to at the end of each week. felt like a real spark having people active ya'know c: |
Re: 12th Official Tournament
Yes, thank you tournament overlords, everything was very well run!
|
Re: 12th Official Tournament
Yeah, thanks to all of you who got this running. Even if I didnt hit top 8 like I wanted to, I didnt deserve it because I didnt put in enough work. Probably plateau'd at this point, but thats fine if im considered one of the D7 crew. Congrats to the winners.

Re: 12th Official Tournament
