Exactly. To anyone annoyed at the first round being "too easy", the files are going to increase difficulty at a pretty decent pace throughout the tournament.
I'm trying to aim for something inbetween a complete AAA-fest and a complete mash-fest :P If the final round(s) are too difficult, then most people will get so many goods on them that their performance in all the earlier rounds won't even matter.
You can thank Charmoeleon!
You seem to be doing alright with a Round 1 AAA at the moment :)
Boy have I got some bad news for you :P
I was thinking more along the lines of The Games We Played Full Edition on 0.01x rate
*cries*

Welcome to FFR (Tournaments)!
Rushy's response is pretty much what I have to say to this:
You can do it! Talking about D6, you should probably update your siggy ;)
These things are not mutually exclusive to a masochist~

Due to switching to the dashboard, the only way we could do ghosting at the moment is if someone only wanted to ghost and to not officially play in their placed division. If ghosting is implemented in the dashboard at some point throughout this tournament, I'll let everyone know.
The tournament dashboard would be pretty intense if everyone played in every division <_>

As noted above, with the dashboard in its current state, I can only let people ghost if they no longer wish to participate in their placed division anymore.

I have you in D3 at the moment. If we can get ghosting to work in the dashboard, I'll let everyone know.
You can thank Charmoeleon for them ;)
You sure can~
This is the best "in" post I've seen this tournament.
Welcome to the rest of the derusting squad :P
I would recommend periodically taking a break from the tournament song and to play other files. In particular, if you play other files that are similar but more difficult than the tournament file and then come back to the tournament file, that might help.
If someone is ten times better than you in your division, then that probably means that I did a bad job with placements at some point.
1 week~

No, but I can give you a credit (from my personal stash). Enjoy~

Nice, glad to have you join us!

The main thing that's missing is new files :P
Seems like you got the AAA though, so you can take it easy...until Friday that is :P

:thumbs_up:
I think some people are just posting their scores as a means of discussion in this thread. Although I think some people are also just confused as well (given some people will post their screenshot without any other commentary.)

If Power was "too easy", then you would have a AAA on it already. You have 4 goods on Power, that means you have plenty of room for improvement there.


I read this post like 10 times and I'm still a bit unsure of what it is that you're asking exactly Dx We can discuss this on discord if you'd like.

The tournament dashboard (which can be found as a link in the OP and on the side-bar on the front page of FFR) will automatically keep track of your best score as you play the game, no need for screenshots unless the dashboard fails to save your score.

I've posted instructions in the OP. Feel free to share your scores with others, just know that you don't need to post a screenshot unless the dashboard has failed to save your best score for this round.
Yeah, it's saved me the hassle of having to update a spreadsheet of scores. It's definitely a lifesaver!
However, I do think that if the dashboard is used for other user-run tournaments in the future, that the host of the tournament should have had hosted at least one successful tournament beforehand.
The tournament dashboard (found in the OP and on the left sidebar of the homepage) has your best score already saved :)
Not sure how I missed you. You should be in now!
:3
It seems like you've improved your score considerably since then :) Best of luck!
I'm personally garbage at trills and jacks. I bet there are D2 players that could kick my ass on Club :P
FFR has been around for over 16 years at this point. That's plenty of time for people to get insanely good at this game, including being able to pass Policy in the Sky.

Also, I think you have a major misunderstanding of how the difficulty system works. The difficulty system is supposed to be a measure of how difficult it is to get a AAA on a file (that it, to only get Amazings and Perfect with 0 goods, 0 averages, 0 misses, and 0 boos). Ironically, the difficulty system is a very poor measurement of how difficult it is to pass a file due to extremely generous health mechanic on FFR. For files where the notes are dense enough, you can mindlessly mash nonsensically on the keyboard and likely still be able to pass.

The way the scoring for this tournament works is based on raw scoring. That is, you want to try as much as possible to get perfect accuracy on the file (ideally, you'd want to AAA the file). That is why I said earlier that you still have room to improve your Power score.

Easier to pass? For some people, yes. Easier in any other sense? No. See my response above to your other post.
When you post on imgur, instead of clicking on the copy button that's provided when you upload, instead right click on the file and click on "copy image address" (or something similar for browsers other than Chrome).
I'm personally garbage at this, I got something like 300ms. I wouldn't be surprised if this has some kind of correlation to how awful I am at jacks.
Hopefully you can derust soon!

The songs are only going to be become progressively more and more difficult as the tournament progresses. That is why D0 exists, it's for low-D1 players who are having difficulty with the D1 files.
I just played the file myself again. The jumps occur on the cymbal crashes. The rhythms in the file make sense with what's happening in the music. If you feel that's not the case, you might consider trying to change your global offset in the options panel of the game. Some other suggestions I would offer would be to tinker with your scroll speed (the default tends to be too low), your play style (many players play one-handed when they style, but a two handed approach called "spread" is optimal), noteskins, etc. Also, if you're playing in-browser, that tends to be prone to lag and I would recommend playing on a standalone.

If it's mostly an issue of getting the game to work nicely for you, feel free to PM me and we can discuss this more over discord or something.
The point is to have fun, not everyone is going to win every tournament. Especially if you're relatively new to playing the game. Feel free to submit scores for D0 (those that are submitting scores for D0 are more likely to be closer to your skill level).

nice AAA :)
As I mentioned earlier, the difficulty rating of a file has nothing to do with the difficulty of passing it.
I'm going to keep bugging you until either the round is over or until you have a AAA : P
I see you got the AAA now though! :)

For scroll rate, I would say to keep increasing it as much as you can. Being able to identify rhythms and patterns in this game is essential and if the notes are too clumped together, that makes it very difficult.
One's highest AAA can be a decent indication of division placement. Although you both lack AAA's on higher difficulty songs, many of your other scores would put you on par with at least other low-D6 players.

BUTTS

Your link seems to be broken. However, the tournament dashboard will automatically save your best score as you play the game. A link to the tournament dashboard can be found in the OP or in the left sidebar of the front page of the site.
Seems like you've AAA'ed the file now, so that good won't come back to haunt you ;)
Nice! Keep up the good work!
I gotchu
Done.
You're included! \o/

I found this way more funnier than it is :P
I've updated your score in the D0 spreadsheet (in the OP).
You can do it! Also, I can't thank Velocity enough for getting the dashboard to work. Not having to manually enter every single score saves me a ton of time!

As long as you participate in every round, there is still a chance you can get ramen as a participation prize! Just do your best every round and have fun :P

Your post reminds me of yo man im awesome. Haven't seen him in awhile. But yes, the tourney dashboard is indeed awesome :P
You're still relatively new to the game. I'm sure there might be some transfer of skill, however, you're not gonna be godlike at the game to begin with without practicing just like I'm sure most non-piano high-skilled FFR players here would not instantly become a piano prodigy :P
You're in now~
ramen is love, ramen is life~
I hope you can find some time to improve your score! I do allow extensions, as long as they are requested ahead of time. Best of luck!
