FFRMas 2022 Token Giveaway!

[FFR Pro 21]

Re: FFRMas 2022 Token Giveaway!

Why did you join FFR and what makes you stick around?

Before joining FFR, I had stumbled on some YouTube videos of players playing songs on StepMania. Back then I thought that this was an amazing kind of game where any song you could think of could be played in the game, so I tried looking up on Google games that were just like the YouTube videos I saw way back then and see if I could play them myself. After a little while I stumbled upon FFR and gave it a try myself. Soon after I got hooked playing it and wanted to get good at the game, so I made an account.

What made me stuck around for all these years on FFR is certainly the community as a whole seeing the website grow to what it is today with everyone's contributions to the site whether it was new songs to the game, tournaments, new site features, new achievements/milestones to unlock, etc. It's been great to be apart of the rhythm gaming community and FFR for all these years.

What is the story behind your username?

Really to be honest my username was just pretty much made up out of thin air, and back in 2009 I'm sure there were many teenagers that when they first made gaming accounts, they wanted to make their usernames sound intimidating as if they were all MLG pro gamers and such. After a while of playing and grinding FFR though (and StepMania as well, especially during the 10 month period that the FFR site was down if anyone on here remembers that), I actually noticed that I was getting quite good at the game and entered the 6th Official Tournament in Division 5 (back then there were only 6 divisions) where I made it to round 4 after being eliminated. After that, I just ran with the username to this day from YouTube, to Twitch, to speedrunning, and so on.

Who from FFR makes a significant impact on your involvement in the community and why?

Man, it is so hard to name everyone that has had a significant impact on why I've been involved with the FFR/rhythm gaming community after all this time. I've had many friends/rivals that I've had great interactions with over the years whether it was on this site, on Skype, on Discord, or in-person at a Games Done Quick or Anime North. The best part of rhythm gaming communities I've learned over the years is pushing the limits as to what is humanly possible, and back when I was playing FFR hardcore, I loved seeing others reach new heights/milestones/limits in the game and it motivated me to go achieve them myself seeing that it can be done. Hopefully I can find that kind of hardcore motivation again with FFR, but life and other things I have to do makes finding that drive pretty difficult.

What kind of feature would you want the most in FFR?

There's a couple features I would like to see added to FFR:
1) Having separate level ranks and leaderboards for songs played on rates other than 1.0, and have the scores calculated/ranked based on it. Of course, a score that plays on a higher song rate should be ranked higher than one that is played on a lower one, even if they both score the same amount of raw goods.

2) The option to have the song's pitch either change or stay the same based on whether you play on a higher/lower song rate than 1.0. I know in FFR the pitch changes when you use song rates other than 1.0, but some other rhythm games have the pitch stay the same regardless of how fast or slow you play a song.

Re: FFRMas 2022 Token Giveaway!

Why did you join FFR and what makes you stick around?

I was introduced to FFR by my high school orchestra friends. I really enjoy playing games that continually engage me (like tapping alongside the music) under a setting where self-improvement is important. For these reasons, I continue to stay around trying to explore how much more I can accomplish on FFR while making great FFRiends along the way.

What is the story behind your username?

One of my closest online friends (who I actually met through FFR), made a joke to call me "Willy-woo" since "Willy" is one of my least favorite nicknames. Myself wanting to add a stereotypical Asian spin to my name at a young age, my name became WirryWoo. Ever since then, I really felt that this username is super personalized and continually use it as my online alias.

Who from FFR makes a significant impact on your involvement in the community and why? (For example this can be someone from FFR you idolize/respect, an FFR rival that pushes you to improve, or a good friend from FFR that you made since joining.)

Shoutouts to all of my closest FFRiends, namely XJ-9, T-Force, Niala, Elite Ninja, Sky Kitten, bmah, SK8R43 and Trumpet63 (definitely missing a handful more here) who have continually supported me throughout the many years I've been with FFR. They've encouraged me to continue stepping files, improving my personal bests, and supporting my data science efforts in trying to improve the overall player experience on FFR.

What kind of feature would you want the most in FFR? (Can be for the game or the website.)

I have been working on creating a difficulty model using data science and machine learning to help difficulty consultants make decisions with identifying difficulties of new files, and worked on writing Python code to help improve Official Tournament placements. I have plans to continue those efforts (been juggling with IRL, other side projects, and work, so I have been busy), but ideally I would like to see all of these prototypes eventually make its way to becoming future features for FFR.

Re: FFRMas 2022 Token Giveaway!

Why did you join FFR and what makes you stick around?

I think I first saw it linked on Metafilter, or maybe the PvP Forums/Forumopolis (this would have been right around the time the forums split off from any association with PvP the webcomic and became their own separate thing). I played every once in a while for a few years, never really noticed or became part of the community, and eventually drifted away.

Then in Jan 2020 when I read all major browsers were ending their support for Flash, I thought back to FFR and wondered if it was still around and what would happen to it. I downloaded the client to see how it worked now, and then I got hooked.

What is the story behind your username?

I had previously cycled through a few online usernames that I ended up disliking after a little while. I remember there was a regular poster on the Keenspot forums whose username was Pi, and I liked that kind of idea of a username that would be something timeless and that I could always be satisfied with no matter what else changes. I took a modern physics course in my junior year of high school, and I saw the constant h-bar show up in nearly every equation related to quantum mechanics, so I chose that as my next username. And I was right, I've been happy with it for more than 20 years.

Who from FFR makes a significant impact on your involvement in the community and why?

I can think of two moments that were formative for me. One was when I happened to watch this video that Matthia posted: https://www.flashflashrevolution.com...p?songid=15152. The joke was that he was playing a mere difficulty 80 song instead of Tachyon Beam Cannon, but at the time I was level 20-something and difficulty 80 was still way above anything I thought I'd ever be able to handle. And he made it look easy, like it'd be achievable for a mere mortal with enough practice. And it motivated me to work harder on emulating those kinds of clean, precise keystrokes at a time whne I was still struggling not to split my jumps or to buttonmash when songs got too fast for me.

The other formative moment was during the Stuck at Home tournament, my first tournament and my first real interation with the FFR community. I was still in D1, not quite D2 yet, and everything was going perfectly for me in the first seven rounds. The songs all had difficulties and playstyles that I suited me well, and I was getting the best score in my division each round. First place was starting to look like a sure thing, until Round 8 when we got struck with Silly Videogame Bleep Bloops at difficulty 66. I couldn't keep up with a song that fast, and freestylemisha managed to do a little better on it. I struggled with that song for days, and I think it was during that time that I learned how to practice parts of songs in isolation. Eventually my practice paid off and I was able to just barely edge past freestylemisha's score with a day left. Then he played exactly one more time, beating my new score by just one good out of 100+. I tried and tried to take the lead once more, but at that point the frustration and exhaustion were making my scores worse instead of better, and I ended up in second place.

That frustration and that lesson in how much every good matters is part of what motivated me to get a mechanical keyboard and 144Hz monitor, and I've been really happy with both. They definitly help my scores a little bit, and now when I still lose I can be confident that it's due entirely to skill.

And of course I should mention the whole community here and so many of the people I've been in tournaments with. Themastergrant, Deathserpent2, Puzzler64, and so many others, you all have been great to play against and you motivate me to keep improving.

What kind of feature would you want the most in FFR?

In the earliest version of FFR, I remember there were at least one or two secret songs that were only accessible by clicking the right places. It might be fun to have a few easter eggs like that again (or maybe there already are and I just don't know about them).

Re: FFRMas 2022 Token Giveaway!

Why did you join FFR and what makes you stick around?
As a fun little fact, I was desperately looking for a game like this when I was 8. But I had absolutely no idea what it was called, aside from knowing Guitar Hero and searching that up with the additional phrase "on keyboard". After that I kind of gave up trying and it was around 7 years later when I finally stumbled across a small YouTuber playing a short clip of StepMania. Without hesitation I looked up StepMania and wanted to install it right away, but I only had a chromebook which didn't support .exe files back then. That was the moment when I kept scrolling through the search results and finally found FFR, supporting an in-browser version of the game.
I stuck around for a long time because I just love this game so much and I can't stop playing it, especially when considering me having looked for a game like this forever

Ultimately, it was Rapta. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have gotten to the point where I am right now, or at least not as close. It was when I found a video of him playing Amber Shores on 1.2x and got impressed at how fast he was. That was practically the spark and the peak of my inspiration to get good at FFR. Rapta has done so much for this community and I cannot hesitate to say how much I appreciate his impact and involvement.
I joined the FFR Discord about a year later after creating my FFR account, though I really wished I would have done that right away. Nonetheless, I created so many friends along the way including Rapta, so I might as well...

It was 2016, Stepmania had a showcase at AGDQ, i thought it was cool. 2 ish months later, saw a youtube video with FFR in it, started using guests account, thought it was cool and wanted to collect my stats, so got an account and here i am now.

I think the collective of FFR, i'm usually an outside observer, i really don't have deep thoughts on progress and skills, or charts or the how game needs to be managed, i really don't have a brain that can so give such in-depth thinking on the evolution of this platform, but it's nice to read everything that people put out on the Forums or discord about.

Re: FFRMas 2022 Token Giveaway!

Why did you join FFR and what makes you stick around?
I initially joined in high school because I saw someone playing the game, one of the very easy difficulty old songs on a computer in my high school's computer lab. I made an account and played a little, but it didn't interest me at the time. A few years later I heard about the site again, and this time I was hooked. I like the community here a lot, and especially enjoyed talking with a few close friends I had before I took a long break. However, I think what ultimately keeps me coming back is the enjoyment of playing the game itself, the great songs and charts that are available, and the ability to compete against others and always try to incrementally improve your scores.

What is the story behind your username?
It dates to around 2000 (yes really). At the time I was obsessed with languages, although I didn't have access to as the kind of material you can now easily find online, and especially with the way words were spelled and how they'd be pronounced. What would xx sound like, or qq? What if a q had a different letter than u after it? So when I wanted to sign up for Neopets, which was pretty big at the time, I put together a "word" that I thought was interesting and used that. I ended up using the same username for everything since it was never already in use, and eventually it became linked to too many achievements to ever change it.

Automatically rating the difficulty of files on rates and/or from custom engines I know, this is a very difficult project, but hopefully one I can contribute to.

A friend who doesn't play the game anymore introduced me back in 2006. I stick around because of the amazing community and all the amazing new content still being added to the game. I also like all the new updates that have been added since I first started playing.

Re: FFRMas 2022 Token Giveaway!

Why did you join FFR and what makes you stick around?

Joined after overhearing someone in middle school talking about available flash games to play and they mentioned FFR, was messing around with DDR at the time which I was enjoying, so hearing there was a computer version caught my attention. From there kinda just ran with it and just always stuck with it because its kind of a game that you can play as much or as little as you want while still holding interest, and just enjoying the exposure to a diverse range of music.

What is the story behind your username?

Previous username wasnt one I was never really set on, just ended up sticking with it because of the progress I had made on it over the years and had to commit to it at that point. Randomly decided on a "fresh" start so this name was born. Background on it, not really sure, kind of randomly popped up as an option. Wanted a simple looking name, and this one just seemed/sounded entertaining because of the ways its meaning could be interpreted.

Not really active or involved anymore, so for the most part its self driven/built in habit why I still lurk around, but there were def. a good chunk from the past. Name dropping a few (qqwref, sky kitten, reptile3141, sk8r43, kmay, jerry_db, etc etc) were prob the ones off of the top of my head I was most involved with around here.

What kind of feature would you want the most in FFR? (Can be for the game or the website.)

A complete revamp of the site layout/design itself is for sure overdue. Current one has always bothered me and always felt it was lacking/not very efficient compared to what it could be.

Game wise, maybe a purely dedicated training engine of some sort that allows you to practice/modify to your liking training options on specific patterns, speeds, etc. that way you dont have to do it through isolating songs and other trial and error methods of practicing. Also, maybe a way to make it easier for a user to experiment with overall gameplay setups without having to constantly jump back and forth from the options page to gameplay (gameplay editor helps so much and doesnt give a true feel on how things play) to see if something feels right.

Re: FFRMas 2022 Token Giveaway!

I'll play too.

Why did you join FFR and what makes you stick around?
I initially joined because my brother got Guitar Hero 3 for Christmas, and I wanted to see if other rhythm games on the computer existed, because my brother was always playing GH3 and I never got a proper turn to play on it. Found FFR in its golden years and left just as quickly. I found it again in 2012-ish on a nostalgia trip and there was 'Team Pony' and an Official Tournament running at the time, both of which I was interested in, so I participated in both.

It was the first time in my life that I've actually had friends for longer than a couple years, and so that was primarily the driving force as to why I've stayed around as long as I have.

What is the story behind your username?
Very, very simple. I needed a username to log into Ragnarok Online, one of the first MMO's that I played. Normally, and as naïve as I was, I used my e-mail as my username up until this point, and the game wouldn't let me do that. I had to come up with an actual username. I liked Pokemon Gold at the time, and my mom was watching Lord of the Rings at the time, at the part where Frodo was fighting with his sword named 'Sting', so naturally, my 8 year old brain put Gold and Sting together and I got 'Gold Stinger'. Eventually that name went through the wringer and turned into 'Goldstinger'.

Absolutely Dossar when I first played. I wanted to be as good as the person that had YouTube videos of themselves, and had some of the best scores in-game at the time. I wanted to play them in MP and never got the chance.

After that, Team Pony made a significant impact. Once Team Pony started falling behind and into obscurity, I started going to Anime North, and wanted to contribute further with people that I've actually hanged out with irl, and started working as a judge, then events, and then a general mix of everything. Now it's Velocity that primarily keeps me around, and doubt that is going to change anytime soon until he nukes the website

>Back as a young lad, i was really into the DDR machines at almost any arcade i went to and would always spend most of my time watching other (much better) players play it and be in awe of their speed, eventually i would play myself and have a grand ol time playing it with my friends. Then i wondered if it was possible to play it at home since getting a giant DDR machine in my own household was out of the question. Come a few months later i noticed whenever i came over to my uncles place his friend would sometimes come over and play this game called FlashFlashRevolution if you ever heard of it. It was what i always wanted as i went home and tried to find this game that my uncles friend played on the computer (I didn't know how to spell revolution back then... whoops!). Obviously; I stick around because any kinda rhythm game (mostly DDR and FFR) will always hold a special place in my heart. Oh and of course due to my shy nature.

Joined in High School as I had started playing DDR a couple years earlier in middle school, had gotten pretty good, and a friend of mine showed me this game. I stick around even now with left hand/forearm issues due to the friends/acquaintances I've made along the way, seeing the game and players grow, and meme-ing on everyone.

I was an edgy fantasy-loving highschooler more than a decade ago and thought that a name basically meaning "the final revolution" sounded really cool. It also had obvious ties to both Dance Dance Revolution and Flash Flash Revolution in the name.

I met funmonkey54 on here and we're good IRL friends at this stage so I have FFR to thank for that probably. So many different 'why' explanations, depending on the person. Ha...

I've had a lot of ideas over time that I was really interested in seeing come through, some have and some haven't. I think a more mobile-friendly approach to stats viewing, and tourney standings would be ideal. The main engine to have file import like the AF engine did. I would love to see the Raw Goods Counter work I did released too - I know lots of folks would find that quite useful as well.
