Re: 3rd Official FFR Tournament - Round 5

Bomberboi, I recommend you just go for an FC without mashing at this point, not enough people have done the tiebreaker to know much more than that at this point.

That score doesn't show up in your last 10 games played or in your level rank stats. It's probably one of those zeros in your last 10 games played and didn't record or something.

Edit: and learn to use the edit button plz.

Re: 3rd Official FFR Tournament - Round 5

what is your playing style

big long description alert

I use a style that's not mentioned on there - pretty much because it's not really a style. It's basically just three finger, except with a fourth finger (right ring) thrown in.

Anyway, in case anyone still cares, the description of three finger (two hand, of course) is a bit inaccurate. 53 trills aren't harder (that's on the numpad, 34 trill as you have it listed) with three finger because you can just use your left index for up during the trill. This style is good for compatability with just about all simfiles. It's basically just index except it makes interrupting jumps easier.

That's where my style comes in. It's one step closer to being on par with true 4-finger when doing interrupting jumps. I use 1235 on the numpad, which is the same as using the arrow keys, but my arrow keys can't register quads. I can assign a key to each finger if a stream is too fast to do otherwise (say, Death Reveals), but it's really hard to coordinate, because I'm essentially one-handing down, up, and right.

It has all of the advantages of index and is much closer to the capabilities of true 4-finger than index. A major problem is that I'm stuck under the 4-finger category. I do fine most of the time, but when an extremely 4-finger biased sim is wrought upon me and assholes make me play them, my scores look extremely weak. Otherwise, I like using it.

Also, it makes alternating jumps (mostly 23 15 23 15 on the numpad) exceedingly difficult. For songs with 53 12 53 12 and 13 25 13 25 patterns, I guess you could say I play 5-finger a bit. On 53 12 53 12, I have my right middle on up, my right ring on right, my left index on down, and my left middle on 1. For 13 25 13 25 I have my left middle on left, my left index on right, my right index on 2, and my right middle on up. The latter mentioned is weak on OML heavy and such, where I have to go straight from streams to it. I can't position my hands quickly enough to avoid a miss or two.

Another advantage of my style (and also 3-finger, I think) is that I can easily use other styles. I'm not terrible (see: Snapps lol) at one hand, even though I rarely use it. I'm about average as far as indexing goes. I've started playing spread a little bit out of curiosity of what it's like, and I'm better at it than most people are when they start playing spread.

So, yeah.. my style isn't so much one style as it is a bunch of styles blended together. How did I come up with it, you ask? I started playing before I had such guidance as this thread. I think I started playing index, and began using my right middle for crossovers when I realized it was easier. I introduced the right ring and left middle when new problems arose in harder sims. I can't say I would advise anyone else to try it.

this took forever to find and everyone always asks, I'd better save this

btw the numpad numbers make no sense because they're based on my setup lmao, 1235 numpad

Re: 3rd Official FFR Tournament - Round 5

wait doug does that mean that score doesn't count?

[Doug31]

Re: 3rd Official FFR Tournament - Round 5

I think didn't record=doesn't count, and I see no evidence that it recorded so I'm pretty sure it doesn't count. It sort of seems suspicious to me that your best score on it in your level rank stats isn't even an FC, as 9-0-0-3 seems like an awfully good first FC of that song for an intermediate player, but if you really did it, you should be able to do it again and then it'll all be good.

Edit: ok, I've determined there's an extremely high chance it's legit, although it didn't record.

FINALLY!
Now, for the tiebreaker!

Re: 3rd Official FFR Tournament - Round 5

What do I win?

Re: 3rd Official FFR Tournament - Round 5

Holy **** dance.

That's even more confusing than what I do on songs like Melonman. I switch between 3-finger, 4-finger, and spread. And quite frequently too.

But you're like 'oh yeah one hand index 3-finger 4-finger testing spread 5-finger WHAT'

Of course you're cool so who cares.

Nice Inter AAA above me. =O

Re: 3rd Official FFR Tournament - Round 5

What???? There shouldn't be anyone in intermediate who is good enough to AAA Rose.
