Re: 2nd Official FFR Tournament: Round 5

Tournaments are meant to be ordered so that players battle each other, with one of the two combatants advancing. look at most professional sports: the US open, Wimbledon, the NFL playoffs, the MLB playoffs, the NCAA tournament, the NBA playoffs, etc. they all have draws with specific opponents and matchups. without matchups, tournaments wouldn't be tournaments so much as they would be survival competitions. Seeds get skill recognition and are distributed evenly as far as possible from other seeds. Unseeded qualifiers who immediately play seeded players have to deal with their tough luck. Free-for-all makes it more fair, but takes away from the tournament atmosphere a lot.

QED

This is true but do they match the worst against the best in the very beginning and work down to the best facing the best in the end? I don't like the way that works, it makes the whole thing predetermined. FFA is much better IMO because it gives people more of a chance and it's 40000 times faster.

in single elimination its better to have ffa. double elimination makes brackets alot fairer i guess for people. but ffr should always be ffa just because the way the game is built. its not like you vs anyone in the game except like multi

Re: 2nd Official FFR Tournament: Round 5

I actually going through, but why a Rock song? I don't hate it, it just I don't play them so much all the time. And the guy that I'm suppose to beat is actually good at the song. Still though, I going to make it through. I hope I'll be third or better.

Re: 2nd Official FFR Tournament: Round 5

I hate them. I hate them all. All of the Hip Hop and Funk songs to. I will never play them unless if have to. Therefore, my Levelrank avg will suffer, but its worth it not to play those horrible songs. (In my opinion)

yes

haha

FFA works better for FFR, though. Even Led's example doesn't really apply to FFR. There's no tournament atmosphere because upsets don't work like they do in sports. In sports, if the better team doesn't show up to play, the team with less talent can win. In FFR tournaments, the better player has the opportunity to practice their song for a WEEK. The better player is going to win unless they draw a song they're bad at. Also, seedings are inaccurate. Look at the Smartdude/drummerlsu matchup last round. That's totally unfair. They should both still be in this tournament, easily.

Seriously...

Fantranstic
Uber Rave
Lovely Lovely Lovely
For FFR
Silence

Other than Fantranstic, those other songs used to be / still are bad, bad, bad ranks for me...

I would freakin' SDG Silence without a problem if it weren't for that ONE pattern that occurs like six times in the song. For me, Silence is by far the worst FFR file ever. It would be slightly more appealing (wait, no...slightly less appalling) if it had a skin, but even that wouldn't help enough.

I bet for Expert, Shash went into my levelrank, took the 10 worst ranked songs, put them into a hat, and drew from it to decide each round's song. Or maybe he at least thought, "Hmm...I think I feel like destroying ieat this tournament. Let's see what songs would annoy him the most!"

Or maybe it's just coincidence. *cough*yeahright*cough*
