Time to re-learn how to SDG mid 70s. Thanks to Halogen for giving me the tip about running the standalone right through the browser!

It has nothing to do with it being easier to place people based on scores they've gotten. It's that it's too much of a liability to take someone who's been capable of say D5 scores in the past and stick them in a division or two below because they're rusty and out of practice. We've all seen how fast people can gain skill in general as well as how fast it can be gained back.

And I'll mention again, the divisions are not done. They will not be finalized until just before the tournament starts, I have my reasons for this :p

This should be fun. Predicting I get eliminated on either the second or third round.

Can't tell if listing things you put salt on or if you actually have eggs and fries together.

That was a facetious simplification.

That being said, all other things held constant, there is a strong correlation between time spent practicing a skill and proficiency.

You aren't wrong here, but there are cases, especially more recently, where time is not a founding factor in skill increase (see: Rapta as one of the best examples).

There is also proof of being bound to time with skill growth and immediately having a skill boost that can increase in little amounts or a big wave. The results vary with each player, obviously some being similar with others.

KrazyKitsune and pmonibuv1 come to mind; let's also not forget that time wasn't a consideration when igotrhythm changed setups and literally bumped from D2 to D4 almost instantly

Targeted practice will do more than "just playing".

When I finally switched from 1hand to spread way back when I literally jumped immediately from hardly D1 to D4.

And then that tournament.. you know how that went ;)

I was thinking the same until I remembered that the sidebar links aren't really there anymore, but it does feel like it should be featured more prominently. Maybe making the text red, like before?

6 days, hype! and this time I won't get 17th :(

Doesn't work on win10, flipped it in the control panel.

So the rolls sounding slower than the music weren't me tripping balls, but if this is R1 then I'm not pinning my chances too high. We'll see.

Being pessimistic wont help you much. There are people who have been put in divisions they were well outmatched in and they rose to the occasion. Best thing you can do for yourself is get practicing.


Also on that note with signups closing we're starting to work on divisions but I will post when they are actually done and that's when you guys can throw any concerns at me with them. Just let us get a chance to go through everyone first, it gets slowed down if we're answering a lot of PMs about them.

I've also started IP checks and come across a few things, if you share an IP because of school, work or anything with someone please let me know.

Not at all, it's just nice to see people who have positive attitudes about it. Every official there's a lot of negativity and arguing that happens. A lot of time and effort goes into these things and it can be discouraging to see so much negative. So it makes me really happy to see those who are really positive and enjoying what we do here.

I'd work on some Nuclear Blast packs in Stepmania, then come back and try your hands at Makiba, VS Boss Battle, EHHS v1 and other jumpstream stuff. You might not AAA, but these files stress consistency. There's also Destination Of the Heart, but that's a little fast for me. XD

SPON CON!

This will only run for 1 hour
(you must be entered in the tournament to participate)

Pick any one FFR song under 3 minutes and get as many boos as you can while passing the song. You must pass in order to receive prizes. You will receive 5 credits per boo and an entry into a drawing to win one of the FFR shirts from the campaigns currently running.

You can only do one, so choose wisely. Please wait to post until you have your best score.

Good Luck!

okay not really but still

Considering the preview video conveniently leaves out a certain really trolly section of the file I have my doubts it'll be less than an hour.

EDIT: Then again it's D7 we're talking about here and maybe it's just me sucking at that one part IDK

p.s. you're welcome for 5/7 of round 1 guys
