Re: 9th Official FFR Tournament - Predictions Thread

Don't worry we can have our FFR skills destroyed together by SM

EDIT: Only reason why I put smartdude so low on that list is because he's in Russia and he's probably not in the best of conditions to play anyway lol

nvm I take it back I'm looking at his replays atm and they're fucking good, minus Freedom Dive

Re: 9th Official FFR Tournament - Predictions Thread

ok well I predict more than 8 people will make it to round 6 in D7 if it's non-elim because everyone's gay and then I'll stop caring due to a combination of both increased difficulty and conveniently coinciding winter exams

Re: 9th Official FFR Tournament - Predictions Thread

Well here's my D7 predictions anyways, is samurai not playing this time? If he is i'd have him as a possible winner.


D7:

1st place: DossarLX (taking a bit of a gamble here since I'm relying on him to not wuss out at all :P)
2nd place: smartdude1212 (does this guy have a weakness?)
3rd place: L.B.D.D. (this can be way off, wouldn't surprise me if he wins or places 7th or something either)
4th place: GammaBlaster (I think this is about right)
5th place: Dynam0 (still getting used to playing ffr with new setup so meh this could be better or even worse who knows)
6th place: EzExZeRo7497 (another one I could be way off for)
7th place: OneWingedAngel (consistent)
8th place: TC_Halogen (dude fiffer sucks anyways )

Also Staiain legitimately deserves to be in D6...he's just way too inconsistent in FFR to be in D7 where it's basically AAA or die for 5+ rounds. I agree that beary probably wont win D6...the gap from low to high d6 is huge so it's a shitty category to find yourself in. I'll guess those when I get to see placements.

okay i think im done editing now rofl

Re: 9th Official FFR Tournament - Predictions Thread

While I do sympathize with Staiain's issue with reading FFR, there simply is no possible way for me to put him in D6 with 19-3-0-8 on RATO... it's just not possible.

Re: 9th Official FFR Tournament - Predictions Thread

I guarantee Staiain's "inconsistency" is by simply not taking a closer look at files

His speed is so far ahead of everyone else he never really had to do that, but FFR has a lot of files with weird-ass transitions with no chord cohesion etc.

Re: 9th Official FFR Tournament - Predictions Thread

Okay well either Staiain will be eliminated early in D7 or place last from accumulating ~2g every round or he will prove me wrong and win the whole damn thing :P

Also I never said staiain's problem was with reading ffr (that's silly), his problem is consistency and focus. Even in trivial stepmania files I haven't seen many AAA's from him so you need to consider what type of player he is. The fact that he has #1 on rato is outweighed by his inconsistency with less difficult files (the only other D7 scores I can see that he has are Almost There BF and WWE 1-0-0-1 which are both speed biased). He has 35 plays on Beautiful Arrhythmia and ended up with barely an SDG. I feel like a whiner explaining this but I think it's like he hasn't proven himself in all aspects of the game to be D7 yet. Throw him in D6 and I'm sure it will be a much more even match.

Re: 9th Official FFR Tournament - Predictions Thread

Lawn Wake XI is a perfect example of what I mean. Someone could be able to do really fast stream but still not be able to hit all those weird ass color parts properly, I had to take around 30 minutes seeing what the hell was going on and it turns out hitting a few jumps were better than just playing the song over and over hoping to luck out everything

There is a point where physical limitations come into play, and Staiain is way above everyone else in that aspect haha.

Re: 9th Official FFR Tournament - Predictions Thread

As thrilling as it is to see my name so high up a few lists, Eze is probably the most correct due to me being in Russia without my usual keyboard.

If the songs have jacks (a la Turbo) or jumptrillable rolls at a slow-ish BPM (a la Husigi 48ths) I'll probably shit the bed because laptop keys (clap).

I'm curious to see what D6 and D7 look like after a few rounds though... I've got no predictions right now.

2nd place: smartdude1212 (does this guy have a weakness?)

grind2 & Revo all the way.

Re: 9th Official FFR Tournament - Predictions Thread

I predict that I'm going to win D5 :3
I also predict samurai wins hands-down D7 unless he's banned for the sick scores he pulled last tourney

Re: 9th Official FFR Tournament - Predictions Thread

Staiain and dossar will be a pretty good matchup. I wish leonid was in the tourney he was my idol. Say OWA is there any special thing you can do while the tourney is going on (*cough* double credits) . But seriously there should be something special during these precious times.
