Re: 10th Official FFR Tournament

If D7 keeps this up, there will have to be a RATO level file introduced every Official, and certainly more 94-96 range files introduced as well.

It seems the community has been against multiple higher difficuty files squeezing their way into the game, but it seems inevitable as the community improves. Since I've been playing, the community has gone from having 2 D7 level players to the 37 we have now. Our files but accomadate, or we will keep having the AAA fest every year through even late rounds as we've seen.

If round one started and an 85 and eased up in difficulty from there, there wouldn't be nearly as many AAA cutoffs, and would be more in line with the score spreads of the other divisions.

Everyone in this round almost AAA'd lmao, why is this a thing?

Can R6 at least be like a 91 or something?

Re: 10th Official FFR Tournament

By the time this round is up my skill will have doubled and I will be able to pass next round. I have faith now.

Everyone says this, but who has actually done a poll to determine that's what "the community" thinks?
I've seen plenty of people who agree that putting hard files in the game is fine, and comparatively fewer more outspoken people who complain about it cluttering levelranks, alienating new users, or other arguments of that nature. There's definitely great arguments to be made on both sides, but for some reason the prevailing wisdom is that basically everyone doesn't like hard files being added, and I question that.

I should ask that on a front page survey, perhaps after the conclusion of the tournament to get feedback on how big events like this are handled.
It would be good to have empirical evidence of exactly what the community views as too many hard files.

If the level ranks were raw scoring based, it would clear up many issues with the idea. People aren't against new content, just against mashers getting ranked above them on said charts. I think that's the real underlying issue.

Personally I don't care. Being a lower skill player, I mainly just stick to my comfort zone and ignore most of the stuff 75+ unless I'm messing around in MP. Also once again, being lower skill I don't put much of an emphasis on my levelranks..as I just don't really have reason to yet. I really don't think new players will care about either of these topics either.

That being said, I do feel that stepartist basically cater to the D5-7 crowd 90% of the time. It's rare to see easier files added into the game unless its during an official. But on the other hand, the higher skill players are the ones most active around here imo, so it makes sense to generate new material for them.

Idk..it's a topic that goes either way depending on where you are skillwise.

EDIT: D7 R6 should have 64th walls at 400bpm and 16th jacks at 400bpm and [13][12] patterns lol

Re: 10th Official FFR Tournament

D7 R6 should have 64th walls and jacks at 400bpm lol

Ha Ha That Would Make For A Really Hard Challenge For De7!

There's also still the issue of all the FMO's and up being way too hard for most casual players to enjoy. I know back when I was first starting out I hated playing anything that was too far above my skill level because all I could do was mash. I doubt I'm the only player that's ever felt that way at some point. Obviously it's fine to add hard songs to the game, just as long as you can balance it out with easy songs to appeal to newer/less skilled players.

Raw scoring would be great for showing true skill on the scoreboards but that only solves half of the "too many hard songs" problem.
